mangiamo!

Making spaghetti sauce today, a very time consuming project, so I won't be around much today.

query

I'm out of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon... is a Pinot Noir ok to use in spaghetti sauce? Or would that be a waste of a good wine?

Perhaps I should be asking, will ldyicefire shoot me if I use her Pinot Noir in spaghetti sauce?

:o

Nexus's Prince Albert just fell out! Or at least the jewelry just did. The ball on the end of the curved barbell hadn't even come off... the whole thing just fell through.

I guess it's time to replace that 4ga one.

this seems to be the day for body art problems

( picture of the tattoo )

I've had this tattoo since 1996. Never had any problems with it. Suddenly today, it feels itchy and sore, and the sun part feels raised. Not the area around the sun, but the actual outline. However, it doesn't look red or anything, and it doesn't even appear to be raised (at least not to the naked eye). I can't figure out what's going on.
Could I be reacting to the ink now?? After 6 years?? This tattoo goes the whole way around my ankle, and this is the only spot that's bugging me. I don't shave my legs very often, so it's not razor burn, nor does it seem to be an ingrown hair problem. I haven't been wearing socks lately, and I've been wearing shorts a lot, so it doesn't seem like something could have rubbed it and irritated it.

Any clues?
