Keep up the good fight.Nearly one year sober from alcohol. I never could have imagined how some aspects of my life got the doors blown off for the better. I hope you all have the best day you can.

Disney wants you to eat poo and enjoy it
Generally the invitation to eat shit is only extended to one's enemies, but at Disney's new Harambe Marketplace, they're hoping you'll pay for the privilege....www.orlandoweekly.com
Bluey becomes a service dog putting TP on the roll holder? Suddenly the universe makes sense.I don't care which way toilet paper goes. There I said it. I'm not even sure I understand the physics involved. It's such an arduous task to even get it back on the holder. You mother fuckers are lucky I can even do that.
So I'm the person who goes into your bathroom and flips the toilet paper the opposite way that you hang it. I did this to my father for years. It took him way too long to figure out it was me. I've done it to most everyone I know well enough to use their bathroom.I don't care which way toilet paper goes. There I said it. I'm not even sure I understand the physics involved.

Isn't that the zoo where some lady spent every day staring at this one gorrilla until he went crazy broke out and maimed her?
If she's so rich why are there so many inclusions in that diamond, eyesight impaired? These are some of the many things I'm curious about.Behold, the bane of my existence. Bitch comes in with a 4 prong setting and one is broke and wants two more prongs. I take the stone out. It's a fucking disaster in the mounting. The whole thing is a hand fab assembled with laser tack welds and solder everywhere. Tips missing, broken melee, rebuilt prongs all around the halo. Great.

After disassembly I'm significantly more nervous and have my rep call the client to request a work change to platinum prongs instead of 18k ones, so I can heat the prong from the back to flow solder to them. He calls, she declines the work, says she's coming to pick it up ASAP, she's going out of country and wants it back. So I set the stone and put it away in the safe. A month goes by.
Bitch calls. "Is it done yet". Of course it's not done yet you coke addled cow, you declined the work. She says the same thing, well I'm coming to get it in whatever condition it's in. Okay lady
I get an email from the boss the day my husband left me alone with his mother to play cards and boss says I gotta, and I gotta have it ready for pickup Wed morning. I get in to work yesterday and I've got 3 time consuming jobs that 3 different people demanded for the same date. I call the boss asking him to disappoint someone because I'm just one goldsmith and i can't do it all.
Guess who was told to stay late as long as it took. This rich bitch calls up my boss (on vacation for the 12th time this year so not present) and tells him she's gonna report him to the better business bureau so now he's cowed and I get the punishment.
Guess who's not charging someone who can CLEARLY AFFORD TO PAY
Nnnnnnnnnnnnggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh

Lol, well, at 7.5 ct an SI2-3 has some features. It's not quite frozen spit. It's still an 80k natural diamond... you could get a 7.5ct EF VVS lab for half that. But, it would be a labIf she's so rich why are there so many inclusions in that diamond, eyesight impaired? These are some of the many things I'm curious about.

For some folks size is what scratches the itch, and for others the quality is what does it for 'emBecause size matters and all
I worked for some years at the Smithsonian in a department with a significant Mughal jewelry collection. quality of stones didn't seem to matter so much as size and or mass effect.For some folks size is what scratches the itch, and for others the quality is what does it for 'em
Other times it's rarity. Pay the same price on a 1/3ct natural dark pink/red diamond as a 5ct natural white
That's cool. Somewhat related but the Smithsonian bar is one of my favorite gem cutsI worked for some years at the Smithsonian in a department with a significant Mughal jewelry collection. quality of stones didn't seem to matter so much as size and or mass effect.
