I work in research. Every now and again, I try to “give back” to my research community. Mostly these are selfish endeavors, in that I do one study over another because I get paid. Well last week a paid research opportunity presented itself to me, so I jumped on it.
It was an MRI study. Get paid like $50 to get a 30 min MRI done. Sounds easy enough right? Well the problem with this is that you can’t bring metal into the MRI room. If you have a metal object, like say a piercing, lodged somewhere in you, it will certainly be ripped out. Painfully and traumatically. I knew this going into it, but figured I’d be fine.
I’ve had my cartilage pierced for like 9 years. Not a single problem with it. It should also be noted that I have never once attempted to remove it. I’m not even sure how to remove it.
Adjustable weights! These would be perfect for my “home gym”. I put that in quotes because so far this “gym” consists of an exercise ball that’s probably too small for me and a yoga mat. But whatever. I could totally use something like this for all of my I’m-feeling-too-lazy-to-leave-my-apartment-but-still-want-to-do-something-productive workouts. With adjustable sizes, it will allow me to do a variety of different exercises, as well as get stronger and not have to buy more weights. Plus, I couldn’t ask for easier storage!
