It's no fun getting older. I might be wearing beautiful diamond earrings, but they can't take away the pain of losing my hearing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm still getting used to changing earrings - It still feels really weird to be pushing bits of metal through holes in my earlobes that weren't there a few weeks back, and actually seeing and feeling the holes in my lobes is still a bit freaky.
I've always had my ear pierced with a diamond stud. I did it myself when I was 16.
When you get older, two things happen to you. You begin to lose your hearing, and I forget what the other one is.
I had my hearing aid fixed today so that I could properly hear you. I can't see as well. I now have - this has stopped me from smoking - a pacemaker, have for about the last 15 years. No, I don't like getting old.
When I was little, I went to the Sahara desert and met an older woman with beautiful earrings that came all the way down to her stomach. She told me, 'For us Tuareg, jewelry is not meant for decoration. It absorbs negative energy that comes your way.' So think twice when you buy a vintage ring!
Women should never go without earrings. Passing on them is an opportunity missed.
I got my ears pierced when I was 12. I looked up to my older cousin, and he had earrings. Will Smith on 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' had the left earring. So I started with the left earring, and then two years later, I got the other one pierced.
When I was young, my mother would not let me get my ears pierced because I used to get into too many fights.
My hearing after 50 years of playing music sometimes isn't too great.
I haven't worn jewelry since one of the front teeth I had made into an earring became no longer necessary because I lost the ear.
