Hike Aborted

I was going to go on a hike this morning with Outventures. However, because the weather outlook for tomorrow (0% chance of rain, possibly sunny) seemed a lot better than today’s (cloudy with 70% chance of rain), we decided to postpone until tomorrow. Still, we went and got breakfast, where I had some conversation with cool people. Definitely not a waste of my morning either way.
After getting back in my car to drive home from breakfast, I realized I was right over by Walgreens which sells the cleaning fluid cartridges for my electric razor. I got out of the car and started to walk over there when I felt something falling down my leg. Crap. I knew exactly what it was. Seconds later, a metal ball was on the sidewalk. I picked it up waiting for the rest of it to fall out. A little while later, I thought I felt something else but in the end I couldn’t see it anywhere on the pavement. Hence, I have now lost most of my curved barbell that I sometimes wear in my prince albert. This is all that remains:
I should really buy a new one I suppose, but it’ll require mail order as finding curved barbells with the larger balls necessary for a PA is somewhat difficult. Bummer. I need to remember to make sure the balls are screwed on tight more often.

I’ve lost balls, but the entire barbell?! WOAH! That’s impressive!
Sorry tho, that sucks… Time to go shopping!
Awh!!! It always sucks losing jewelry…was your curved barbell externally threaded? You would do better getting an internally threaded one because they actually screw on more times than the external ones, so you would lose it less. I’m in Los Angeles County in California. I’m not sure where you are, but I would check out the website of the place I get pierced at - Tommy T’s Body Piercing. They have a huge selection of jewelry and they could probably mail you a piece.

Good luck with your balls in the future!
