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.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I probably peaked at 16 or 17 but that is way too depressing so I'll pretend it isn't so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, brenda.

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.
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.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am pretty naive about jewelry, though.
Me too.
I have a question: Years ago I knew a woman who had a bunch of jewelry that she said had been appraised for $15,000. So she went to a jewler to try to sell it and was only offered $1,000. Unrelated to that, here in Chicago we have a place that advertises their low-cost jewelry (they "cut out the middleman" or have their jewelry "baked by elves" or something) - they guarantee that all jewely you buy from them "will appraise for at least doubel" what you paid for it.
So my question is, is this jewelry appraisal thing a big scam?

Ugh. I saw that on the news this morning. The bastard's still loose, too....

Depends on who's doing it. You'll almost never get appraisal value when reselling, and it's more useful for things like insurance than anything else, to get a ballpark for replacement. I see people trying to sell things for close to the appraisal on craigslist, and just have to say, "Honey, no!" because what they want is usually double what a similar item will go for at market value.
