HA! I just really related so much to every. damn. part. of your comment.

Thank you. I'd thought about sharing this, but then I clicked to the original article.

This is not original OR witty, but...

Oh gawd, Clarkson, just stop. You had your hits (unlike poor Guarini) so please just coast on those.

God really needs GPS?

Excellent point. I'd love to see someone (the judge?) ask him exactly that.

Thank you, and I absolutely love the family ring idea!

You just nailed her thought process!

Yay for thoughtful moms!

And I have to add — one of my mom's favorite figurines is of a pair of bunnies hugging so hard that their faces are upward with chins almost connected.

I really will! I'll be seeing him either tomorrow or Sunday and you can be sure I'll check!

I was SO into it!

I'm SO glad that you do! I still touch ones that are particularly close to my heart when I need an emotional boost.

Until I read your comment, I'd thought that the "saddest" part of my story was that the necklace in question was later stolen by sketchy roommates. Reality check — I can still call my mom.

When my parents divorced, my mom had the stones from her (non-heirloom) engagement ring re-set into a necklace for me. She gave it to me on my 16th. :)

Oh no.

Wow, yay! Any suggestions for the New England area??

That's so similar! My son was looking for images that were closest to his own age & was aware enough to use the word "legal" BUT not savvy enough to realize that some results might not be. (Again, this was well before "safe search" on phones, & he'd borrowed mine anyway!)

Ha, I had the same fear and paranoia, but from the parenting end!

My shameful takeaway is King Cairo.
