I’m curious here. Have any of you gone through your own rebellion of sorts once you became separated or divorced? If so, what did you do and did you regret it?<P>My rebellion has consisted of the following:<BR>1. I started wearing my earring again, something I haven’t worn for many years.<BR>2. I’m allowing my mustache and beard to grow for the first time in my life. (no wife nagging me to shave)<BR>3. I’m considering a tattoo. I have wanted one for about 10 years, but never got serious. Each day now is one day closer. I know what I want, I just have to decide where on my body it needs to go.<BR>

Oh, yes. . .<P>Went back to the heavy metal music I listened to as a teen--that's all I listen to now. My children disapprove.<P>Dyed my hair burgundy--looks pretty good.<P>Thought about having. . .some body parts. . .pierced. Boy, what they are going to say about me at church.<P>I like to dress pretty nice--but since d-day, I wear over-alls and wafflestomper boots and flannel shirts. For some reason, I don't care to make myself too attractive. In other times of my life, I was obsessed with clothes, shoes, make-up, used to take two hours to do my hair. Now it's the grunge look.<P>I don't know. Thank God I have these kids--I would probably cut loose if it weren't for them<p>[This message has been edited by Bernzini (edited October 26, 2000).]

Loosing 25 pounds (I had gotten too heavy - baby weight) meant none of my clothes fit. My sister and her husband finally realized that I was dying inside and she assigned to him the task of reviving me. So he took me shopping for "Damn, Bubba" clothes and started taking me dancing. It was great fun but it would have been nice to go dancing with someone other than my BIL. Would be wonderful to find a guy for that purpose.

Got my ears pierced again. Spent money on myself for smaller, sexier clothes. Side benifit, got stressed, lost weight. Went places with my kids on the weekend and stayed out past four in the afternoon just because husband would have made sure we were back home by then. Let the housework and yardwork slide. Now I do it because I want too, not because I'm trying to keep things up to his standards. Got a social life. Colored my hair.

Jayhawk, My 19 year old daughter is thinking about getting a tattoo also. Has a good idea I think. Wants to get it on her back so if the day comes when she no longer appreciates it, at least she won't see it everytime she looks in a mirror.

Getting the tattoo on the back is a good idea. Most of my female friends who have tattoos decided to get them on their backs for the same reason I believe. Unless I decide on my ankle, mine will be someplace on my body that can be easily covered with clothing.<P>I would hate to be discriminated against because I chose to get a tattoo. I’m leaning toward the back of my right shoulder myself.<P>I think I gave up on the idea of piercing my eyebrow. I think the earring and the beard has been enough of a shock value for most that know me. If I pierce anything else, I’ll probably be committed! <BR>

You guys are a BAD INFLUENCE!!!! Been wanting another tattoo for a couple of years now (Have 3-all more or less hidden except the one on the top of my foot-tree frog I got the first time H and I went to visit is family in Argentina) I have wanted a full back tattoo to compliment one I have on my shoulder blade, I just decided that if H leaves then darnit!!! I am treating myself to it (eventually-they are expensive). Maybe even get the one on my foot finished (its small and looks kinda odd all alone). Geez, you guys are going to turn me back into a biker!!

I considered going back to pony tail for 20 years ago (no way), I considered growing facial hair again (no way). I started playing golf like when I was single (3,4,5 times per week) when ever the kids were not with me!<P>Otherwise I am doing everything the same, other than starting to scope on women and consider going out ( I said consider ).<P>Have a great day!

Hurting,<BR>I remember back about a month ago (maybe longer) you made a comment along the lines that you couldn’t see how anyone could consider dating again while going through something like this. Funny how things change as time goes by huh? I never thought I would consider it either, but anymore,<B>considering</B> the option of dating someone new is about the only thing I can look forward to!<BR><p>[This message has been edited by Jayhawk 93 (edited October 30, 2000).]
