  • Pierced ears

    So am I doing to lose the holes in my ears because I won't be wearing earrings for God knows how long in the hospital??

    I haven't had naked ears in nearly 40 years......

    Anyone?

      Ten years later...

      Okay, so you made me try it. YEARS ago, I had the second hole done but I have not worn earrings in those holes for well over ten years. So I'm sitting at my desk and thought I'd try it and believe it or not, the earring went through with just a little push. I'm sure you will have no problem with them being out such a short amount of time. I think I'll start to use them again. Thanks! LYNN

        I haven't wore earrings around three months, but every once in a while I stick an earring post in the holes to keep them open.
