I want to get one earlobe pierced? should I pierce both and let one close over?

There's really no way to get it to close. You might be able to get it pierced again in a different spot even with that one being open but it all depends on how your ears are.

I'd like to congratulate your mother for being such a caring individual and subjecting here baby to some serious pain.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
