NUMBER 2000!

[Mara]

Okay that REALLY sucked. I was having MIS play around with my computer because I was having a problem with a file AND RICH SAID IT WAS TOMORROW.....and I totally missed it! SO NOT FAIR!!!!!!

Congrats Rich....!!!




(mara...crying in her bottled water)

 

[hoorray]

I THOUGHT IT WAS TOMORROW TOO!

oh well, guess I'll have to have a glass of wine in Rich's behalf. That was awfully nice, and I guess it was fate since Ruby is Canadiangirl's birthstone...

btw...mine's diamond -- any spare's of those laying around Rich?

 

[Mara]

Oh yeah and Congrats CG on the amazing ruby..that truly was fate!

 

[caratgirl]

Sob....Mara, I'm cryin' with ya. Rich! I can't believe you did that while I was grocery shopping! Oh well, I will bolster my spirits while fondling my own goodies in the safe.

Congratulations to all who did win!!! That must have been some adrenalin rush!

Enjoy and make sure you post pics when the gems are set.

haha..seeing how i was seconds too late..i think im going for two glasses of wine tonite...congrats to all the winners...what fun..

 

[Mara]

Aww bling thats so sad that you missed it because of the other post. Well not as sad as me missing it because of MIS playing around with my computer--WHAT LUCK! ARGH!

Oh well maybe you (and I) have bigger and better things coming down the pike soon!




This type of adrenalin is usually reserved for eBay last minute snipe purchases..I am sure all of you winners are passed out on the floor shaking uncontrollably...

 

[diamond dazed]

Congratulations, Rich.

You deserve every bit of that success.

And about this contest-- what a cool, fun and generous thing to do-- but it's nothing compared to the generosity that you show every day around here with the time and thought that you put in answering questions and guiding people in an incredibly important purchase. It amazes me to think about how Pricescope and Diamondtalk have leveled the playing field for consumers -- that wouldn't have happened without people like yourself making the effort to do that. We all owe you a big thank you!

My heart is still in overdrive.

The intarsia (I had to look up its definition) is a really neat piece. In a way I don't feel as guilty having won it as it wasn't the item most of you were fawning over.

Now this poor left-brained schlub needs suggestions on how to best showcase the piece.

Seren..that was the piece I was silently coveting, its so cool! Would look amazing as a pendant of some sort. Wear it in good health!

 

[bling]

hey mara..were both bay area gals..we should go and drink our sorrows away together! ahaha.....

 

[pauls girl]

Hey Mara & Bling -

I am a bay area gal too! I will come too and show off my new treasure (Mua ah ah ah ah)

-PG

 

[DancinGirl]

CONGRATS!

 

[DancinGirl]

I'M HAVING THE BIG ONE, MARTHA! THE EXCITEMENT'S TOO MUCH FOR ME!

~~~~~~~~

Whoa - okay, I didn't know why you were calling me - but I guess it was a weird joke. Ya...DancinGirl is a Martha! But, not one of those 90 year olds you typically see with that name. Rich knew that though. LOL!

 

[Mara]

This goes back to my whole 'lets get the BayArea people together and have a drink and stare at diamonds' comment to Hest. I am going to post in the Diamond Hangout and see if anyone BA people are intrigued enough to want to come!!

 

[aljdewey]

You know, I'm really bummed about this. I sat at work tonight until 6 p.m. refreshing this thing, even though Rich said it would be tomorrow.




I had to damn near beg and barter with my boyfriend to get him to agree to go grocery shopping tonight instead of tomorrow night just so I'd be free for this, and now this?




Rich.......you've got one pretty disappointed gal here.

 

[Mikesgirl]

Funny you'd say that, dancingirl. I'm a Martha too, and nicknamed Marty because my dad thought it was an old lady name. Now that I've got that beautiful tanzanite, suggestions, anyone, on a setting? I tend toward more traditional, or at least symmetrical stuff, but think this little beauty deserves something special. I'd love to have all of your feedback, ladies.

At least you may have the consolation of knowing that your misery has not gone unnoticed. It is consoling me in my hour of sadness . Congrats to all of you gem winners! And fire&ice's cat didn't even have to go without eating!

 

[Daniela]

I just want to express my dismay. I was home at six o'clock, and then decided to go to the gym. I told my boyfriend three times at the gym how excited I was to try and win a pink tourmaline tomorrow night. I'm really sad that I didn't even get to try.

 

[Mara]

So the www.richardsherwoodsucks.com website is staying up RA?

Retribution, Retribution!!!

 

[Daniela]

LOL... Mara, I actually clicked on that link to see if you were keen enough to make a website for a joke.

 

[Mara]

Hee Hee no...Rank Amateur posted the fake url last nite and joked about it too...hehee

 

[Colored Gemstone Nut]

And I would be remiss not to say congrats to Rich on his 2000th post?? Woooo hooooo!! Now all that said, can someone please tell me what exactly was the contest here? Looks like I missed too much to go digging......

 

[flyingharp]

Congrats to Rich - for your 2nd millenial post! (Look forward to many more!)

Well done everyone! The tension was killing - better than any soap on TV any day! (Except I was asleep when it all happened! Shame...

)

Hey, Giangi's only 400+ posts to go to the big 2---! Let's do it all again!

 

[Mara]

Mmmm Giangi has a cute little ACA that may need giving away...tee hee..

 

[fire&ice]

For pete's sake guys, if you knew Rich well enough from the board, I had little doubt what he was going to do.

Thanks again Rich. I hope you received my PM. My computer is acting up. Signing off for now.

 

[pricescope]

Special congratulations, Richard, with your new and very well done website: http://www.sarasotagemlab.com/
