UO and GO!

Re: UO and GO!
I like my engagement/wedding set. I wear very little jewelry (just that and a ring DH got me for my birthday the year we started dating) and it suits my personality.
It's understated at first then you look at it and it's gorgeous. Just like me. lolololol.

DH was superpissed the diamond in my engagement ring was more carats than all the diamonds in his wedding band.

I think jewelry is lame and stupid on every level, really.
I'd rather receive a book or some $$ to go to the casino than jewelry for my birthday or Mother's Day.

Lol, okay, I'll bite... What sort of diamond ring do you have?
It's in the shape of a shoe with some booze surrounding it. Princess cut. White gold.

How did we get from roaches to diamonds?
I would never "trade up" my wedding set, but I'm hoping for a nice blingy right-hand ring for our 5th anniversary next month. I'm not big into wearing jewelry as "statement" accessories, but I do love fine jewlery that can be passed down through the generations.
I guess this is as good a time as any to restate my old standby UO that I love the idea of fine jewelry as a push present. It makes so much more sense to receive an heirloom-quality piece of jewelry in celebration of bringing a life into the world than it does to get jewlery for, say, Valentines Day or sumshit.
Nickelback= yuck
Snakes= infinity yuck
Jewelry= likey but not excessively
format uproar= glad to hear I'm not the only one who doesnt get the insanity and 'offboard' creation over a format change.
Here's mine: I can't imagine the look on MH's face if I told him I wanted to go on a weekend trip away w/ flight & hotel to meet people I knew through the internet. I also can't imagine spending $ on that instead of doing a weekend with my family or IRL friends. Take that one & run with it. (I do get that people make really close friends on here and find they have a lot in common. I just can't personally imagine traveling to get together).
No. I am assuming someone in the house is working and some time together as a family should be spent on weekends.
Neither I nor my DH wears our wedding rings.
DH makes jewelry, so if I ever get another ring, like for an anniversary, it would be one he made and with sapphires rather than diamonds.
At any rate, I couldn't really care less jewelry unless it's something my DH made or has historical/ancestral significance.
This just occurred to you?

Mine is a black pearl with a few diamonds on the side. I love it and no one has it
I like thank you cards but I would be just as happy w/ a thank you email or phone call. What I hate is when I send a gift via the mail and never get any indication that the person received it, whether via email snail mail or phone call. Rude IMO.
My family thought it was strange that I didn't get a diamond engagement ring. It was quite the topic of discussion for a while. I just laughed as I stared at the big emerald on my finger.
I assume during the time that they are awake and capable of spending time together.
I go "out" a lot, like to a friend's home or something once a week or whatever. I just leave after Jack goes to bed. He never knows the difference.
I bet it's gorgeous. I mean, not that regular diamond rings aren't pretty, but a pearl is so elegant AND it's unique.
I'd love a pearl ring (AoGG ref, obviously) but SB tells me they don't hold up for daily wear, and I'd hate to destroy something so beautiful.
Gah, I bet that's beautiful. Emeralds are gorgeous. I'm not a big ruby fan, and sapphires are pretty but I can take or leave them... but emeralds, dude...
The bug and snake talk had me cringing. Thanks guys. ::Rushes off to buy 2 bubbles to contain toothbrushes. One for me, one for OSC::

I hope your LO feels better soon! And I totally agree! It sucks sooooo much more when your LO is sick and you have to rely on someone else to care for your sick baby. Babies need their mommas!!

I guess I am making assumptions based on the people I know. Here bars are open till 4 a.m. Dropping your child off at Grandmas on Friday and picking them up every Sunday evening so you can spend the weekend partying is what I am basing this on. I used to be a partier. Honestly I don't think drinking yourself to oblivion every weekend is a great choice parent or not. Maybe when you are young but you reach a point where hanging out with obnoxious drunk people is kind of sad.
I like the stick figures on cars where the stick figures are Imperial Walkers and Baby Imperial Walkers.
I think zuzu PIP'd it once.

Huh?
I have scratched it from wearing it while running a cash register and I have to go get it reglued ever now and then
When I got engaged, I did not post the picture of the ring on FB originally. Although, almost every comment asked for a picture of the ring, so I did it. I agree it's a little tacky, but hopefully, you only get engaged one time and only have to do it once.
However, a friend of mine has been engaged THREE times in the past year and seeing her new ring each time has been annoying and that is definitely tacky!
I used to think they were sweet. Until that episode of Dexter where John Lithgow used the vinyl stick figures WITH NAMES on the back of one family's van to target a little boy (he then kidnapped and was going to murder).
Now they freak me out. Even without the names.
Can you all do me a favor and check into whether your diamonds are Kimberly Certified conflict-free? Pretty please?

Mine are. We bought it from a place that only sells conflict-free diamonds.

I haven't checked and I have no idea if mine is or not (I doubt the thought even entered H's mind), but what difference would it make if it was? It has already been purchased. What do you propose someone do with the diamond in their engagement ring if they find out it was not certified conflict-free?
That's not a UO, that's a fact.

I agree. My engagement ring is an aquamarine that belonged to my husband's great-grandmother. I love that it is so unique.
Ooooh, will you PIP it?? I would love to see it.
I'm trying to pick a piece of gemstone jewelry. Nothing big, just a little something to wear every day, because I currently own zero jewelry. Seriously. Nothing. But everything is so pretty, I just can't decide!!
You could shove it up heather r's a**hole and wait 5 minutes for it to turn back into coal.

Yes. I have heard of people looking for cars with things like stickers or license plates that suggest a mother is driving them, and figuring they will be an easy target for crime. Also, every time I see kids with their first name on their backpack, all I can think of is some pedophile using it to lure a child. Maybe I am paranoid.
Don't pout! I am on my ipad, will PIP later
Seems that Covergirl's parent company P&G are working along side the Humane Society to find a way to be 100% w/ out animal testing. P&G states that they are 99% free of animal testing at this point & are working towards being 100%. Maybe thats why Ellen feels it ok to represent them.
