Stupid DeBeers! I want my cookie now! I am terrible with dessert-related waiting games of cunning and patience.
I agree with Jesse that I ought to get a second cookie for later.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
DeBeers will also tell you you'll need a cookie for your other hand.

Value was so subjective that stones were sorted depending on where they were going, like, the US market values these characteristics so we'll send them these kinds of diamonds, Japan values this, so we'll send them these, etc.
As I recall, pearls are sorted in a similar fashion.
I like diamonds. Wouldn't buy them new, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nora, obviously you're an independent modern woman who NEEDS a second cookie. I mean, really. If you're going to stand up for anything in this world, it's a right-hand cookie.

It's too hard to COMM an entire 20 post discussion, but I so want to COMM this one.

Yes, pearl color varies widely (in either a pink or yellow direction) and you are supposed to buy to match your skin coloring. Which was a great argument as to why I should get my mother's pearl necklace and not my sister. Hah!

oh god, I never natter here, but I'm being spammed by a furrie (furry?) over on each of my YT videos and that is my squick. Just had to vent that someplace where I most likely won't have to explain what I mean.
Okay, so they're being nice, but, eww?!

I'm going to be getting my great-grandmother's pearls this month. My grandma had them restrung a few decades back, so they still should be in good condition. It's the first thing I'll have had of hers other than her wedding photo (she passed away when I was still a toddler, so I don't remember her at all), and I'm very excited.
She had a gorgeous old-fashioned name, Alida, that I love, and I'm planning on getting the wedding photos of both her and Great-Grandpa Jesse framed professionally this winter.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I so want to COMM this one.
Done (as I was already in the middle of reformatting). Also, my brain is hinting loudly for a new diamond marketing campaign, but somehow, having your diamonds and eating them too doesn't quite work...

I'm looking at my calendar for the next two weeks. I have 2 all-day meetings, one the day before we go on break. really? is that necessary?
