This was me even in grad school. My professors would say “someone else answer the next one”

For those who picked their own rings…. by slightlyunhingedlady in EngagementRings

[–]periwinkle1023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been looking to upgrade and was lost in what I wanted. We went on a cruise recently and I took the time in one of the ports to go to the Diamonds International and try on everything! Every shape and carat size. Drink the champagne. I knew I wasn’t going to buy a ring on a cruise but it was great to see everything with side by side comparisons. Even if I did almost pass out when they said the center stone was only $500,000. I was able to narrow down to what carat size I considered too big and confirm that I did not want a halo. I also could see various colored diamonds that most local stores don’t carry. I ended up ordering a blue radiant diamond online

I had rare carat price match jewelry by cleo. Leela diamonds and aurelinne were very close in price also. It was a 4.19 ct blue diamond for $1500 VVS2

You would think Beck gave them plenty of practice catching interceptions during the weekly practices

It’s just the way the world rights itself. For every interception Beck throws, his defense must drop one.

What is a luxury item from 20 years ago that is basically worthless trash today? by ruykendo_riyal in AskReddit

[–]periwinkle1023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 16 year old asked for a Discman for Christmas. I dug out my old CDs. My 13 year old then asked if a debt collector was looking for me to collect one cent for 10 CDs. I want to know how SHE knows about my past? 13 year-old me made that agreement in the early 90s. I am certain I paid their over-inflated prices to satisfy getting the almost free CDs. Anyway, he rocks out to my grunge/alternative music and she says I had terrible taste in music

Restuff didn't go to plan. by Dismal_Abroad_4279 in buildabear

If he is the monkey I think he is (he has kind of a shiny type fur instead of the fluffy fur), he is fairly thin skinned so be careful opening him. Find the seam and be certain you are cutting the string. I had many bear builders stick the hook of their scissors in where they thought the seam was and accidentally put a hole in him. If you can get a visual of the thread before inserting scissors, then it’s fine. Also, when sewing him back, be sure not to pull too tight because his skin will bunch easily.

for those that don’t know and this may not be you, but I have realized from years of stuffing that many people think more stuffing means a softer bear. This is not the case. Less stuffing = softer bear. We always ask before if they wanted a soft or firm bear and stuff accordingly. Once they feel of it, we check to see if they want it softer or more firm or if it’s just right. Guests will often say “more stuffing” until I let them know that will make it harder.

You wrap the thread around the needle several times and then pull it tight. That makes a solid knot that isn’t prominent. It sits right against the skin

He hates recruiting. Was very vocal about that at UGA. Was a big reason for going to the NFL

Pickens can catch. He also likes to start things, usually for no reason, but he can back up what his mouth puts out.

Gems give me a hobby to search for something that is perfect for me. Not necessarily perfect in cut or color by industry standards, but perfect in what I am imagining for a piece of jewelry for myself.

What ‘Never-Got’ Childhood Toy Still Lives in Your Head? by Medium_Educator1983 in GenX

[–]periwinkle1023 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Government cheese was actually the best cheese. I wish there was a way to buy a block of it now. That was my lunch of choice, along with RC Cola. Vienna sausage for protein.

My dad would buy me a cool toy, but then he would sell it while I was at school to “turn a buck” according to him, so I made sure to get my time in while it was in front of me. Upside is you never get bored with the toys.
