As I recall, pearls are sorted in a similar fashion.

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.

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...

amych, you rock! Thank you.

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?

Furries don't exist.

it's all in my head, it's all in my head it isn't real, it isn't real, it isn't real.

This kinda kills my "unicorns and puppies" mantra to clear my head of icky thoughts.

So I take it you don't want to see my pantomime unicorn costume?

that is so wrong.

that is so wrong.

Especially since pantomime horse costumes are for two people.
