I get it, sarameg. It just reminded me of the sitch with my BFF. We've never even lived in the same city, even.
I would be there right now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

If you have the time, take it to a jewelers (they often can repurpose flawed bands into "new" products)
I've done that. The shops here won't give any value for the stones, but they'll weigh out how much gold (and the type of gold - for instance, 14 karat, or 18 karat).

The status is NOT quo.
Allyson, regarding the comic book collection, if Colin is willing to reach out to Wil Wheaton, he's well connected to the local Pasadena comic shop, and I'm sure they would give him a fair pricing for the charity's behalf.

I'm thinking of jewelers or the place that sells rare coins and metals. I know the coin people, they've been around forever, but I don't know if they buy gold jewelry. I'll call around tomorrow.
ION, I tried out my yoga mat, did some basic floor moves--poorly, but hey, movement--and I discovered that housemate's cat is of the School of Hey, They're on the Floor, Sit on Them. The extra weight on the leg lifts was useful, but he was most reluctant to move. I rolled over, and he only walked over my hips to my butt. Sitting up seemed to settle that, at least.

If they don't, I bet they know someone who does.
Yoga With Cats is the best. Believe me, it's better if they're sitting on you than trying to get real close to your face. Downward Dog With Sudden Catfur in the Face in a whole new move.

Given I have one cat who rides my shoulders while I towel off and another who lies on me whenever prone, I could totally outdo that yoga with pets compilation. Hell, trying to use the foam roller gets my hair et and a cat under my ass.

I think getting down to and up off the floor needs to count as a yoga move all on its own.

One time I was at the end of the yoga DVD, in savasana (corpse pose), and instead of lying ON me, the kitty was crouched behind my head...eating my hair. WHAT THE HELL, CAT.

I love my dog, but she will try to lick my face while I'm doing planks or pushups, and it's really distracting...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I messed up my neck for a couple of weeks when a cat was suddenly under me while I was doing a rolling Pilates move. It startled me just enough that I rolled all the way over instead of stopping on my shoulders.
