They do mention the reason for the diamonds in the item descriptions as "rare (not true) and resilient, like people" or some such. But yeah, I'll see what they have to say, and if it's of interest, I'll definitely send a tip to Jez!

Yeah, I've never bought jewelry that expensive, and never thought I would, but was considering this http://canada-en.hermes.com/jewelry/leather-jewellery/bracelets/hapi-3-mm-17261.html?size_sized_jewellery=MM&generic_color_1=BLACK anyway, as a reward to myself for 2 years of being self-employed and finally feeling…

Yeah, I don't want to be a debbie downer in this case. I used their contact form to ask how they source their diamonds and if they provide proof of their origins. That's tricky business anyway and it turns me off a little, though this is a very cool idea overall.

I wanted one with a stone, but they're diamonds. Oh well.

I told my fiance when we first started dating 4 years ago that I hated doing the dishes. He told me that he'd do them every night. I haven't done dishes in 4 years. <3

My bf eats all the food in the house, but when I get hungry late at night, he'll go out in -30ºC temperatures to get me whatever I'm craving. <3

Probably not. It does imply that, but he doesn't have a great grasp of the english language, so it's probably not what he meant.

You guys are super negative. For 7 minutes everyone in Hollywood seemed like real people.

This is me! I was such a self conscious teen that even as a competitive figure skater I was ashamed to show off my legs (I wish now that I had!)

If I wear that length and move, my ass is going to show. I've had my mom lengthen dresses of that length for me (my mom is awesome) because I'm scared to leave the house in them.

Helen Mirren is a goddess, but her dress looks like an Eaton's tote from the 90s.

I liked her dress, too, but thought the shoulder straps looked too long. It looks like she's struggling to pose with her hands on her hips and shoulders up so they don't slide off.

I may be able to shed some light on that.

Agreed. I assumed it was him but had to google it.

When I was in High School a friend I'd met at summer camp accepted an escort home from a friend of a friend. He murdered her.

I swear by Benadryl as a sleep aid. I have allergies anyway, so when I tried taking one before class one day and fell fast asleep, a lightbulb came on in my head. I have no use for them during the day, but damn they're a great way to fall asleep fast and wake up feeling chipper.

That's excellent. Love it.

As a fellow Erin, I have to ask you if people often respond with "Anne?" when you introduce yourself. This happens to me all the time, forcing me to repeat my name with awkward emphasis "Errrinnnn."

My experience with Vistaprint has been that their basic card stock is flimsier than other printers, and they trim a few millimeters off the standard size. Doesn't seem like a big deal until your card is forgotten between the slightly taller business cards in someone's wallet.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. I'm going to try what you suggested and see if it works out. Now to find the softcups in a local store or order them online. If I don't have problems I'll try a reusable one when I'm ready.
