a question about bellybuttons: do you have an empty well or a joseph, or no well at all?
Mod
Does that mean "an innie or an outie?"
My daughters have evenies so I guess that would be no well at all. But what on earth is a Joseph?
Mod
ahahhahahaha. Oh that made me giggle. Sally you're funny.I used to have a "John the Baptist" but that was before I had babies.
a joseph in the well is probably what you call an innie, an empty well is an innie where you can't see the end of the bellybutton and there's not that little bulb of flesh. no well would be an evenie, joseph out of the well an outie.
Ok well that's actually much more descriptive than our lame American method. So then I have a joseph in the well, my kids have no well, and my husband has an empty well.
it's not an official method, my sisters, brother and i invented it when we were younger. i have a joseph in the well.
So who the heck is Joseph and what is he doing popping in and out of people's wells?!

I'm a well, with no Joseph. He must be in Egypt. :)

I don't see a picture, Larry. I think I'm glad.
That picture made me think "HA HA HA!!! Cute, Sally. :) (emoticon included in thoughts)."

my bellybutton is pierced with a huge brass ring
I used to have a nice deep empty belly button...then I had kids...now I don't want to talk about it :(
My belly button's always been a bottomless pit.
Mine was a bottomless pit, but like Alecia, having children made it all wonkamackated.
This is by far one of the most entertaining threads I've read and I'm sad I slept through most of it. I'm still not sure Janine isn't making that "Joseph in the well" stuff up.Joseph is a fascinating Biblical figure for me, by the way.
Innie for me, before I forget.
Joseph could be in mine, but he can't see the light of day.

Does anyone else have a total phobia of belly buttons? I'm fairly sure mine wasn't tied off properly. Nobody is allowed to get their fingers anywhere near it. I will fight you.Also, I can't watch the scene in the Matrix with the bug and the belly button, or the commercial with the smiling bellies.
When I think about having children, the thing that scares me most is amniocentesis. It combines my two greatest irrational fears, needles and navels.
I'm not looking, and you can't make me.
Sally, I am also squeamish about belly buttons. I got mine pierced years ago and used to wear a stainless steel ring in it but I almost accidentally ripped it out one too many times--the tie-loop of my drawstring scrub bottoms was forever wrapping itself around the ring and I'm usually in a hurry in the bathroom and tend to just yank my pants down rather than carefully untie them first...you get the picture. I tried other, dangly things in there but they did not please me so I gave up on my bellybutton piercing. I also have a little lump of scar tissue in there from when I got my tubes tied, which grosses me out. I try to ignore my bb as much as possible.
i used mine recently for the very first time. to help remove my gall bladder. well, not me specifically, although i did help tremendously by not helping and staying asleep. that's the first real useful thing my bellybutton has ever done for me.
Huh. Who woulda thunk all this about belly buttons. I'm Ok with them. Except when they are big and you can see the lint in the well.
