Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Ellen is way way WAY cooler than Oprah and seems a good fit for Jilli.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Can you give me an example that doesn't come from www.smokinghotmanlypendantsxxx.com?

Well, I don't know without seeing the thing how easy it would be to break it up vs. totally remaking. If the stones are in bezels that are welded to the main bracelet, you could remove the bezels and have bails attached. Pendants for men tend to be heavier, squarer things than sold for women.

Ooo! Bolo ties! Turn them into bolo ties!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Deffinately bolo ties.

I just got my newsletter from Powells, which made me think--Jilli, can your marketing person get you featured on that newsletter in June?

Deffinately bolo ties.

That could work. Maybe JZ can dig up one of her silversmithy friends from Faire.

My marketing person is looking into getting a reading set up there, actually. Which, y'know, excuse to go to Portland! We like those!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

He just called to tell me about all the beautiful jewelry he saw at the sale at this place, and then reminded me that we're having a baby and shouldn't be profligate with our money. [link] I want shiny stuff!

I hesitate to advocate the "push present" idea, but . . .

I ... am requesting hairpats. NOT because of anything bad, no. But because holy crap, there's a lot of stuff happening with GCS, and I kindasorta need to hyperventilate a bit. Please tell me I'm smart, charming, and can totally deal with the media. Because right now? I feel like a bit of a basket case.

you, m'dear, are awesome. But if you really feel overwhelmed, I'm sure that there are many of us who would be happy to pretend to be your agent and act as a buffer. No pun intended ;)

Today is 10 days non-smoking for Joe and I!!!!

wooo! And also think how positive you're being for Emeline.

Or whomever is the big daytime person these days.

I can just SEE Jilli on Ellen. How big of a hoot would that be?!!?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Jilli would be awesome on Rachael Maddow.

Quick, Jilli - add something political to your book!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hec, maybe you could work with a woodworking person and make small boxes with the cabochon set in the top. Definitely the kind of thing one would keep forever.
