I don't have a ring. Not a single one.
WOW, you must be able to save a LOT of money :)
I spend so much on jewelery...

The link between earrings and submission is purely symbolic, Ola.
In the ancient times a slave had her/his ear pierced as a sign of belonging to their master. This may require a more thorough answer, but I don't feel competent to go deeper, just a vague memory of MGret. digressions in her book.

And I also tend to take off my (ear)rings as soon as I get home.

And I thought I was the only one weird here. I still keep an engagement ring, but lost my wedding bands - symptomatic :D
I hate wearing rings!

Guys, your confessions on the credit card floor motivate me to get rid of mine. After I pay them.
I'll always remember Rachel in 'Friends' cutting hers.
I should do the same.

I drink tap water. I tend not to take my shoes off when visiting someone and ask the same of my visitors.

I used to take them off, but then it just got old hahaha...
I have a highly dysfunctional family,

I wouldn't say that my family is disfunctional, but we are very far from your average family.
and never go to church. What's worse, I don't believe in God.

Yep... that could be a thorn in many people's eyes hahaha...
What's even worse, I can be seen hanging out laundry to dry on a Sunday (I live across from the > local church)

We use the public laundromat and we can be seen on Sundays carrying large loads of filth.

I wear slacks and sneakers to go to >
the "mall"/supermarket.

I don't go to malls, I fucking hate them, I only shop for clothing when my current either walks off my back or dissolves during the wash. I hate shopping with a passion, the crowds of cattle like shoppers drive me absolutely insane, the need to spend money on useless shit brings my temperature up to a boil, stores with their glittery decorations, Barbie doll and Ken look-alikes in the display windows make me sick and people who try to look like those mannequins make me ever sicker. Giant billboards annoy me, eating in public places such as restaurants, bistros or diners annoy the shit out of me... nothing like some stranger looking at you chewing and digesting your food from across the room. I hate crowds yet I organize parties, I am a strong believer in free expression and speech but at the same time - fuck all hate groups!
I don't own a single vodka glass.


We are so hanging out when I get back hahaha...

That’s another one - I hate "Friends" it's the show about an impossible situation involving stereotypical group of people who have taken over NYC in the past 10 years and are spreading like rabies.

One time I was cut off in the middle of my gig by the NYPD due to a noise violation by the bar, it was a long night, I didn’t start till 4am, so I was nicely tipsy and one of the bouncers that tried to push me out of the place (which in itself is fucked up – how are you going to hire someone to play loud music at a place with no permits for loud music, then when cops show up, the DJ takes the blame and gets treated like trash… anyway) so he looked like Chandler from “Friends”… I told him to go get some speed and play in traffic with Joey… to the sheer amusement of the bar attendees… ah… good times.

Yes I am. Once saved, I spend it on shoes/books/perfume.

I didn't know that. Thanks, Lidia.

Don't do it. If you like wearing them, you shouldn't take them off.Aleksandra P. edytował(a) ten post dnia 06.11.08 o godzinie 15:30

Yea sort of, they just didn't milk you hehe.. but jewelry is also something that scores of other cultures used to enhance and not to use as means of marking your property. I'm willing to bet that jewelry as well as tattoos and body modification techniques by far outweigh the number of cultures that used it for slave markings.

it means that she doesn't tolerate any metal rings on her fingers (not that she isn't allowed to)

many women don't wear any jewelery, except their wedding ring

for example they did it in Israel

NIV
Deuteronomy 15

12 If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, sells himself to you and serves you six years, in the seventh year you must let him go free. [...]

16 But if your servant says to you, "I do not want to leave you," because he loves you and your family and is well off with you, 17 then take an awl and push it through his ear lobe into the door, and he will become your servant for life . Do the same for your maidservant.Lidia K. edytował(a) ten post dnia 06.11.08 o godzinie 16:00

Yes, I also prefer the enhancement interpretation version rather than control and submission in the use of jewelery!:)

But anthropologically... One would need to have a closer look.

Well, from a historical stand point, jewelry was found in pretty much all of our ancestral graves along with other objects, just like tattoos and modifications of different kinds. There are certain tribes in Africa which modify skull shapes to identify with their tribes. Stretched earlobes, scarification, branding, so called "lizard skin", piercing, tattooing and mutilations of all sorts are considered the rights of passage for many tribes on pretty much all continents. Some symbolize crossing over into the adult hood, some are simply there to use as identification of hierarchy, reasons are plenty, I find it pretty interesting and in some cases amazing.
