Cereal to add that a lot of white gold is rhodium plated to make it whiter, and the clasp, being the part that would hit the neck the most, would probably be the first part where the plating starts to wear off, which would explain noticing a problem with clasps before chains.

I prefer my bathbombs glitter-free, because I hate cleaning the tub. And while being sparkly may be pretty, I hate having bits stuck to my skin.

I might need to track down the bath bomb recipe so I can make them to my own finicky standards.

Huh. I have no problem with white gold, but regular gold bothers me.

You might have problems with the copper or the silver in it, then.

Well I hope you can return them because uuuurrrggggghhhh, but I will happily give them a good home if not. And, hey, they'll get plenty of fresh air and sunshine living here in California. Assuming that the rain will eventually stop.

I just had a good experience with tech assist from my cable company. I was on hold for ages (with excellent torchy music that did nothing to quell my rage) but once the nice lady got me off hold? All good.

I was actually yelling at the recording before. It was suggesting that I make sure the cables were all tightly connected and I was suggesting where I might jam said cables that would indeed be tight.

I have no idea what it was about her that made me instantly feel like not killing but it was good. And she said that I was nice even. Apparently some people yell at her. I think those people should be hunted down because she was nice.

Huh, word soup. I don't even know where to begin making that into a narrative. To sum up, Cox recordings suck cox but the tech lady was nice and 24 is back on now.

24 was good. I have to wait until next Monday now for more? Is there a senior official who can be coerced to give me more episodes sooner?

Deena makes the best bombs. Don't know if she'll part with the magic involved but yummy bombs.

Thankfully, there's a move afoot (esp. in the EU) to use alternatives to nickel for white gold. (Though palladium alloyed gold is more expensive.)

I'm still holding out for the adamantium alloys myself.

And once I watch last night's shows, is there someone who can tell me what I missed in the first half hour of tonight's episode? Because I have about thirty minutes of an error screen recorded. Cox sux.

Is it normal to immediatly crave more and to want to go order them all right now so you can try each and every one?

Yes indeed.

Am I going to need a 12 Step?

Oh, you damn betcha.

And then there are the bubble bars....
