Okay, okay, you're my friend and I want you to be happy. You can set the jeweler on fire if you want!
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Woo!!!
Wait, just his hat. He can remain uncharred. But the hat must die. (I hate those hats. It's like my second job.)

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
My vague recollection is that men's hats were customarily outerwear like a top-coat, so they come off when you go inside. Women's hats can be outerwear or part of an outfit so it depends on the hat.
Hipster dudes will argue that their hats are part of their outfit.
Hats in church have the additional layer of all women used to cover their heads in church (if not with a hat than with a little doily thing) and only some have retained the custom.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
His is going to have to be something indestructible, since he works in a warehouse (I told him I don't give one damn if he chose to not wear his band at work, but he says he wants to), and I'm guessing the twist of a mobius loop would catch on stuff. His is going to need to be flat and, like, carbon fiber or something. (There are carbon fiber bands, and they're cool as hell.)
I have a tungsten carbide (not the same as carbon fiber, but a neat material) ring, and I love it. It's not showing any wear or damage at all. The only caveat is that it can't be cut through, so if there's any chance of his hand getting trapped or crushed, not the best idea.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm glad I gave my therapist another shot. I really liked her this time, and even though it is kind of a pain in the ass to get to her office, I'm going to keep seeing her. She gave me the name of a book to look at, and we're going to discuss it every week. It's about how to deal with stress, which I'm very bad at. So, not just the normal talk therapy thing, which I wasn't looking to do again.

That's cool. It'll be nice to have practical stuff to put to use right away. (I mean, I don't WANT you to have stress to have to deal with, but since life is full of stress, it's good your therapist is giving you tools to deal with it right away.)

Well, everybody has stress. I have a few everyday stresses that the average person might not have to deal with, but I need to learn not to go from mildly stressed to nuclear so easily. I also need to learn how to deal with stress from chronic pain, and this therapist was a trauma nurse before she went back to school, and she thinks she can help with that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
This all sounds good, sj. I hope she'll be able to give you practical help.

Oh, I am about to call my BFF and get catty about her sister-in-law.
I'm not normally catty. This is an unusual event. I'm gonna bask in the Jersey-Shore normalcy of it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I knew it was one of the nicer areas - she's not pressed for funds. But she's not going to be able to drive herself ... and this is an active woman (she's been working with a personal trainer, with remarkable results, which contributed to her injury not being worse).
There are totally services that do this. And individuals (I did in college) but with a service you get someone checked out and they can be sure there is insurance and nothing creepy on a background check.

That's really good to hear, sj.

If there is even a smallish chance something that could happen where it would need to be cut off, get something that you just know you are going to have to replace every so often.
There's titanium that is really strong.
Carbon fiber is amazing but if it breaks, it breaks in sharp shards. Now, most people would never be in a position to break carbon fiber but depends on what Tim will do with it.
