Its all about knowing your jewels/metals and values. My Dad bought my mom a vintage ring in the 80's for $10,000. Its now worth $35,000 and even more if she recut the diamond to a modern brillant cut. But....your on sale "diamond" earring studs from a chain? most those stones are sucky quality and won't increase in…

Gooooood....I was SO close to being one of *those* nerds. I don't know what happened...oh, yeah. I developed self confidence. Girl-geek totally was me 10 years ago.

but the warning labels are much more detailed than a doctor has time to me. I tend to read the warning lables out of curiosity....not doctor has time to tell me all that shit *and* expect me to listen.

Aw crap. I think I like her now. I mean, if she's okay being openly weird and Andrew WK thinks she's cool enough to hang with...she might actually be O.K....

So, you say it would take five hours. lets take out $5 for supplies (though possibly more depending on the cost of the wood loop I assume its sold with).

Since the idea of a dowry. Since husbands used to fuckin' die all the time. Since before child support. Since women weren't allow to work outside the home. Lets not be sentimental: historically a ring claims a woman as "taken" and, if made of decent material, gives the woman a little something something incase the…

I saw that in a japanese magazine in JR high....so i just burned a hole in the end of my thumb nail.

(We actually were discussing how long semen survived and apperently he had tested himself before with his microscope downstairs.…

As a line cook, unless I work in a vegan kitchen I'd be annoyed by that question. Yes, a vegan kitchen you can ask. At an Irish pub? Why you wasting my time? Of course its not. I mean, a decent restaurant uses different cutting boards for meat, veggies, and cheese, and I try to abide by avoiding cross contamination,…

actually, I kinda reget not calling the cops on one guy. not that he was stoned, but because he was so stoned he was dangerous. I mean, not only did he almost drive off without his 5 cheeseburgers and fry (just from that order i knew he was stoned), but because he drove off into the WALL...shruged off the crash and…

Wait, wait, wait....did the NUTCRACKER dog just kill the Rat king?! Bull-oney!! Rat king gets killed with a slipper...or maybe in this case a newpaper...

I never watched WW for lack of a tv and media access...but i may have to start. Thanksgiving clips have won me over
