'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(They are located in a mall, but they're not a mall jeweler.)
Yeah, shoulda been clearer -- by "mall jeweler" I mean the big chains, not the physical location per se. The two I trust are in strip malls, but then, in NC, everything is in a strip mall.
Aw. Ossie Davis died. I've got to say, 87 and still working? Not so bad.
I got my rings at Zales. They were really nice, gave us credit, let me try on everything in the store even after we said we probably weren't going to buy that day.
I am pretty naive about jewelry, though.
I think I peaked between 24 and 27. I'd started figuring out what looked good on me, my self-confidence was blossoming, and I had this nice slim-yet-curvy thing going on. After that my lifestyle got more sedentary, since I no longer went everywhere by bike or on foot, and I've been battling my weight ever since. Sigh. But I'm hoping to be a very hot 35-year-old. (I just turned 34.)
Usually, on Happy Days, when there was a band playing at Al's, the plot was something like, "We need to raise $500" "I know, we can have a dance marathon!" "We'll do it at Al's!"
Was it ever Al's? I know it started as Arnold's, and I could swear it stayed Arnold's even after Al took over for Mr. Miyagi.
I am bummed about Ossie Davis. Does this mean that BUBBA HO-TEP is his swan song?
Sad about Ossie, in the "wow, he lived a long time" way.
The free sample of fibre drink this morning had artificial sweeteners. I hate that.
Sad about Ossie Davis.
But Jesus, I sure picked a good night to get out of town for the evening last night. This happened right outside my building.
I probably peaked at 16 or 17 but that is way too depressing so I'll pretend it isn't so.
Holy crap, brenda.

Oh, believe me, I understood! I actually clarified out of habit: whenever I recommend this place to people, I make sure to specify that, while it's physical location is in a mall, it's most certainly not a mall jeweler. (The mall in question is weird and upscale, but it does contain many shops I like. Also, it's mentioned in Say Anything, and is thus Lloyd Dobbler approved.)
