YES, THIS! I wouldn’t wear an emerald if you paid me, because I would totally break that, & quickly. too. I KNOW it!

I caught grief when I refused to take my husband’s name - FROM MY OWN GRANDMOTHER! (& my boss). And it wasn’t even a new thing when I did it, over 20 years ago! And yet people still act like it’s a revolutionary horror!

While I agree with you 110% on how rude & hurtful some of these superior jerks are, I am having a hard time stifling my giggles at the thought of being told that I would “have” to have a MUCH BIGGER diamond!! Yes, yes, the one you & your fiance have is special & precious & don’t let anyone force you into a new one no…

Well, actually he had gotten the ring out of the safe before they went on the trip & put it in his backpack - zipped up securely.

There is no “set”. It was a single ring brought in with a whole host of other rings for Diana to choose from when they got engaged. It was, BTW, the most expensive on the tray.

Not just more accurate - totally cooler!

Or even “Give it to the workers who dug it out of the ground”

TBH, as much as the arrest itself was total garbage, putting her in solitary *was* the smartest thing, if any other prisoners would have access to her.

But they don’t cost you anything if you never actually BUY the product...

Yes, I am certain it’s generational. One of our kids wore a specific wardrobe choice on the first day of middle school: Tardis shirt, madras shorts & Superman socks (WITH the little cape, of course!). We tried in vain to suggest other things, but our child was adamant. We waited ALL DAY for the “...your child got beat…

Yes, that is pretty much the only thing that stops it: fighting back,either verbally or physically. It’s why when a couple little bitches started bullying my child, it was stopped within one semester, because my spouse & I not only taught our child HOW to deal with it, we also forced the school to put an end to it.

Well, he’s NOT “trying”. He IS one, already.

I am so sorry that happened to you, but I am even more proud of you for standing up & speaking out, using that crime to help others.

Actually, you are the one who is confusing matters. To keep harping on chidlren’s sexuality as if it mitigates this case at all is beginning to sound absolutely SICK.

Thank you for speaking up. Very proud of you & very grateful, too.

I have to assume at this point that it’s deliberate.

AWESOME POST!

Your life is not over, & anyone who can stand up & try to fight for what’s right has ever chance of having a fabulous life!

While I am so sorry that you went through this, I am so proud of & grateful to you for speaking out to use your pain to help others.

One would think you would be the best judge of that, have you the slightest iota of self-awareness, but, even with that, the rest of your “judgment” on display here would preclude that.
