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.
one of those cool faux diamonds that experts have difficulty telling the difference between them and the real thing?
My understanding is that they aren't faux -- they are artificially created, but chemically or compositionally or whatever the science-word for it is, they are genuine diamonds.

I would say...molecularly. Cause a diamond is just a ton of carbon atoms bound together.

Except for the part about how they can control your thougths.

What, and real diamonds can't?

I wear my sapphire with everything but a) I am not a good reference on whether you can do that or not because I am fashion indifferent and b) it's not my engagement ring. Eloping kinda limits the demonstrative jewelry options.
I definitely encourage you in your choice, to not participate in the diamond fiasco, in no small part because of the cost to children.
Benjamin did the same thing! He would also have his armed raised while nursing/taking a bottle, and it would slowly lower as his belly got full.
He came with a fuel gage?! That's awsome!
I might be too tired to try to catch up on Jack & Bobby tonight, so I'll just have to keep skipping the whitefont.
ita's making code chages, right? 'cuz we skipped from 7009 to 7022.
Maybe it counted all the attempted posts. I tried a couple of times before it went through.
It hung on a few from me, too.
Re: Bling.
Emeralds are bad choice for a ring that's designed to be worn daily, as are opals, pearls, and other soft stones.
Rubies and sapphires are good, because they're pretty durable. Sapphires come in all colors but red (because red corundum is ruby), including clear. If you're shelling out bucks for an engagement ring, you can get a good quality ruby or sapphire and still generally pay less than you would for a diamond. White sapphires have been a historically popular substitute for diamonds.
There's at least one company out there that sells "green" engagement rings, made with recycled gold and synthetic diamonds. (The synthetics they use are the yellow ones, but the rings are pretty cool looking.)
Nobody has the pipes for Janis. Ah, Janis.
Normally, I would agree, but Melissa Etheridge has always been my possible exception, and I think she kicked ass on the song tonight. Not Janis, but still fucking awesome.
