Re: Oklahoma City devastation
A little over a year ago, I had a storm shelter installed in my garage, one of those that goes in the floor of the garage. I've not had to use it, didn't have to use it yesterday, but the peace of mind it gives me is immeasurable. Now if I could only get my dogs to warm up to the idea of getting in ... |

Re: Oklahoma City devastation
I just heard a local report that there may be up to 2000 children at Plaza Towers Elementary. I pray to god that's an exaggeration. |

Re: Question for doggy owners
I am so sorry you are in this position. As a dear friend once told me, the price of love is the hole that's left in our hearts when they are gone. As painful as it is to lose a pet, I wouldn't change a thing. I have (or had) the ashes of a rabbit, 3 dogs, 6 cats and a rabbit. My partner passed away ... |

Re: Exxon Oil Pipline Rupture in Arkansas...anyone in the ar
I was not too far away when it ruptured. My dad lives about 15 or 20 miles from there, and I happened to be visiting him that weekend. There were no effects at my dad's house, but we drove by the area on the way to my brother's house, and boy did it stink. I feel so badly for all of the people who w... |

Re: OMG - DBTY from BGD!
Katiedid, your necklace is beautiful! I'd love to see a neck shot if you can swing it. Now that you have it, is there anything you would have done differently? Are you happy with the length of the chain and the spacing of the stones? |

Re: I just wanna say -- the random comments thread
Missy- great news! I'm sure you and your husband are both very relieved! Rosetta - so glad your husband is okay. I had to do the Heimlich on a friend once, she was choking on a malted milk ball. It was a scary situation for me, so I can only imagine how scared and shook up you and your husband felt! |

Re: bezel earring/dbty necklace questions
Efriede, thanks again for the information! So, your necklace has 5 stones, right? If you spaced them 1.5 to 1.75 inches apart, you'd have some chain towards the back that wouldn't have any stones. Is that correct? I'm assuming since your necklace stays put pretty well, that wouldn't be a point of co... |

Re: bezel earring/dbty necklace questions
Hi! :wavey: i think the idea of graduated dbty is wonderful. I absolutely love mine and can say that again: my necklace never migrates so the clasp is in front. The center stone is maybe sometimes 2-3 cm off the center. I also have 16 inches necklace and it is a tad longer for my taste but I am afr... |

Re: bezel earring/dbty necklace questions
Okie your pieces are going to be beautiful, that's a lovely way to honour her ::) I've had a couple of types of martinis and I much prefer the sort where the basket meets the post in a curved U vs. a sharp V. I found I had to jam the Vs into my holes and tightly wedge the backs on to keep them perk... |

Re: bezel earring/dbty necklace questions
Hi Okie_girl, I have martini style and bezel style earrings. They are both very comfortable, but I hate sleeping in earrings, as they poke behind my ears. I've thought about using those rubbery backs to see if that makes a difference, but to me, earrings get gunked up when you wear them all the tim... |

Re: bezel earring/dbty necklace questions
You might need to try on some other necklaces you have that would be the right length and measure them. 16"would be right for me if I wanted it right at the base of my neck, but it depends on your neck size, I guess! I'd probably discouraged a graduated dby, though, because it would kind of dr... |

bezel earring/dbty necklace questions
Hello all- I am looking to reset some earrings, they are currently in yellow gold basket type settings and I would like to bezel them in white gold. Some bezeled earrings have a martini-style back (where the basket meets the post of the earring). I'm concerned that that would be uncomfortable, can a... |

Re: request for dust/prayers/positive thoughts
Thank you, Laila. And, to incorporate bling.... I've been giving some thought to having a dbty type necklace made. The diamond in the middle is approximately .33 ct, and it was a gift from my parents when I graduated from college. The two pair of earrings were my partner's. The larger pair is a litt... |
