Why all the bad moods?

[aphisiglovessae]

Wow, I leave for a short vacation to Pennsylvania over the weekend and I come back to reading a LOT of hostility, complaining, arguing and mean posts. What happened? Why is everyone so cranky this week?

 

[moremoremore]

LOL...No, not bad moods, just ridiculous threads!

(not this one)

 

[aphisiglovessae]

Although a little drama IS interesting, I''m just surprised that they''ve all popped up at once.

 

[moremoremore]

And we''re all over them like white on rice

You just can''t go away again

 

[IrishEyes]

I don''t know, but I think I need a PS break. So many threads I read today had hurtful comments, attitude, self-righteousness and bitter sarcasm. I''m tired. So many things and comments have made me angry today, and I don''t need that in my life. I wouldn''t be surprised if someone makes a quip about what I''m writing now.......

I''ll be back in a few days, maybe by then things will have simmered down a little.

 

[rfath]

aww.. but IE... when you come back, there''s a *hug* waiting for you!

 

[onedrop]

IrishEyes: I am feeling a bit like you as well. A short sabbatical may indeed be in order. And I am crossing my fingers that this thread doesn''t spiral into something deeper.

I deal with adverarial folk on my job everyday. I like to come to PS for a break from all that.

 

[FireGoddess]

It''s funny - I''ve been gone for 3 days (I''m still on mini-vacation in Palm Springs, CA) and I logged in cuz PS is a bad bad addiction for me and I needed a little tiny fix

and I was surprised to see some of the threads going around.

It happens every once in awhile, and i do think that people get carried away sometimes...but overwhelmingly I think many of the people here are very nice, honest, creative, etc...and I enjoy spending time here. Too much time sometimes.

 

[MINE!!]

IE.. I understand.. just took a little holiday for myself.. it is good to be back though..

 

[sevens one]

Welcome Back!

 

[Mara]

FG, where are you in Palm Springs? We miss the Parker!

 

[ame]

I tell ya what, I need to go in spurts not because of this moodiness, but because the more I come on here the more the upgrade bug nibbles me.

 

[moremoremore]

No joke ame. My husbabd hates this place. BTW, the shea is fabulous!

 

[ame]

Glad you dig it! I love that stuff.

Yea my husband thinks its a breeding ground for insanity.

I have no idea what he might mean by that. It just gave me the idea to cremate him into a really bigass yellow diamond...

We are actually at a house in the Mountain View Country Club. My sister works for a company that builds luxury homes and one of the perks is a free week at the company owned house. Talk about luxe!!! More to come (pics too!) when I return!

Bad mood?! *This*(see link below) is a diamond-related bad mood! LOL! It does speak to my sometimes mixed feelings about my own diamond fetish/PS/DT/DeBeers-DTC etc.

(*Warning* some profanity & raunchniess. Not for the easily offended.)

Mercury is in retrograde. It will be over on Aug. 15. Supposed to disrupt communication (one person says one thing - the other person hears something completely different). It happens 3 to 4 times a year. Boyfriend and I always have a huge blowout every time. Seriously - I don''t track when Mercury actually goes into retrograde; but whenever we have a major conflict - I now check to see if it currently is. Sure enough - it is ALWAYS the case. Mercury retrograde is also supposed to disrupt travel and equipment functioning properly.

 

[Mara]

You know what they say about women and their cycles, how when they ''hang out'', they all supposedly synchronize...hee.

Personally, I just think it''s the fact that a bunch of hormonal chicks hang out on a diamond forum. Oh and maybe the Mercury thing too.

 

[sarita]

LAJennifer,

That''s cool. I understood the significance of that whole "Mercury in Retrograde" bit myself. Thanks for unraveling a bit of the mystery.

 

[LadyluvsLuxury]

Because the universe is out of alignment...major meteor shower headed our way.

Science, schmience. It's not "mercury in retrograde".....it's HUPS.

All I have to say is.... one day she will figure out -she can go out and just buy one.

and her mystery and anguish will dissipate.

But, she does, so enjoy being angry, and in certain ways I''m sure it makes her happy, fufilled, satisfied. So in that way - maybe the carrot should always hang for her..

 

[kaylagee]

bit o'

's advocate -

Ohhh we all know it's not the same thing when we buy 'em ourselves. LOL! ("...Raise your right hands" and all that jazz doesn't count)...
I'm thinking of rings in partic/ (when it comes to earrings and other pieces, well it doesn't matter so much to me what the source)

I would have been twice as thrilled if my husband had actually come to PS on his own, did some research and(well maybe some investigation, hints) & presented me with one of my rings.

Sadly this hasn't been the case for me. He offered an occasional comment about styles etc., groused a bit, agreed and paid but that's about it.

When I look through my Liz Taylor jewelry book and read her stories esp. the Richard Burton ones.... I do get a twinge of envy and awe. I do wonder what her secret was/is.

Same w/some of the threads here. I love it when the man is doing most of the work and scheming!

So, on that level, I guess I share some of Soloway's bitterness and confusion.

Jill, just rotate your hips and cover your teeth with your lips. They like that.

ROTFL!!!!
I read the essay...someone just got left behind and is feelign whiny. Beh.
Kinda makes you wonder what would happen if she hit PS. Aot of ladies whose husband love them are thrilled when they can give them something that was out of their reach when they got married....
Good for a laugh. I bet my old women studies Prof woudl give her a hug and a pat on the back.

heehee the first part, I've got down pat...the second is trickier. No complaints, of course.

So if i'm more careful 'bout covering my teeth, I won't have to select my own diamonds in the future?!
Super!

MBijoux, you're.... well, a bijou! LOL! Merci mille fois..

Your grateful student, K
