This is my ring, btw: http://www.moissaniteco.com/round-moissanite-halo-engagement-ring-p-10246.html

Mine is sparklier than diamonds for sure. I have a 1ct round moissanite with a moissanite halo and one of the small stones fell out the week before my wedding. Unable to source the right sized moissanite on such short notice, my local jeweler replaced it with a diamond of the same size and in low light you can totally…

Ha ha. My husband does the same thing. On the rare occasion I wear heels anymore he'll look at me slow and long and hard and then say something like, "You look...something is...different." Then I'll get closer to him and he'll see I am now looking him in the eye and he'll say "Oh you grew taller!"

That's basically exactly what I told my now-husband. I got a moissanite ring instead. Granted, it still has gold in it, which has its own issues, but at least I'm not paying for war and genocide or buying into the overinflated value of a dumb shiny rock.

Moissanite. Moissanite!

Yep.

Agree completely - although I did actually get dumped once for being too smart. In that case, I needed to work on myself by not dating douchebags.

This. Like, what do you mean you mainly really only eat ONE PLANT? One plant that almost CANNOT provide you with enough calories to sustain your fuzzy little life even if humans hadn't killed your habitat? And you also don't really breed all that well? Even in the wild? Come ON.

Don't tell anyone, but I think this about most of my friends who go vegan for "health" reasons. It seems to be a smokescreen for an acceptable way to refuse and/or obsess about food. No, not every vegan. Just the ones who say it's waaaaay healthier (no mention of ethics, politics, religion, etc.).

Me too, same reason.

And perpetually stoned

Also I think there were allergy issues. I'm the biggest supporter of adopting a rescue ever but I think either Sasha or Malia needed a hypoallergenic dog so they ended up with Bo, who is a hypoallergenic breed.

I don't want to like Mila Kunis mostly because I don't think she's a very talented actress. But every time she is interviewed, I just find her so damn charming.

Ack, huge image. Sorry; that was the first time I've added an image with the new commenting system.

So pretty!!! I had to replace one of my pave stones with a real diamond (temporarily) because a stone fell out right before my wedding. I'm excited to get the diamond replaced with a moissy again because you can totally tell that one spot is less sparkly than the other spots around my stone.

I just posted about moissanite. Love mine!

I have a moissanite engagement ring which is a 1ct equivalent round stone set with pave stones around it with a plain band. It was $900.

Hee hee.

Dow Constatine is probably one of the finest people in WA State politics. He is really a gem. And SUCH a nice guy.

I make a 100% amazing chocolate fruitcake recipe that I promise will leave you completely behind the fruitcake as a legit holiday snack and gift idea. This recipe is the closest approximation I can find on the internets today. http://www.ruths-kitchen.com/recipes/desserts/chocfruitcake.html
