People have tried over the years to explain this to me, and I still don't get it. Okay, they're nice, and they're real purty, but... I don't know. I just don't get it. |

Oh, I have - did so when we were 21 because it was just expected, I guess. She doesn't get it either. I tried again on our 10th anniversary - she made me take them back (diamond stud earrings). Said there were plenty more important things we could use the money for. God, I love that woman. |

Title: Re: I don't know much 'bout diamonds but... Post by fubar on Feb 7th, 2007, 5:08pm That is awesome... if it makes you feel good, then it's worth any price. You both should treasure that forever. Now, on a more practical side, don't ever do that again! Diamonds are a Harvard Business School classic example of an artificial market. If the whole market weren't controlled by one family (DeBeers), then diamonds wouldn't even qualify for semi-precious status. Don't get me wrong, ANYTHING purchased as a token of one's love for another is *precious* and should always be treasured. But, it doesn't mean having to give thousands of dollars to the DeBeers family for a common rock. Enjoy it, there's nothing wrong with it. -Fu |

Title: Re: I don't know much 'bout diamonds but... Post by artonio7 on Feb 7th, 2007, 5:25pm YAAYYY!!!! Diamonds! Good for you Tara! The thought is beautiful and the gesture is priceless. The timing is perfect as well. I don't own any diamonds but there are times when I wouldn't mind being one. (I know you'll get this as you're as warped as I am ;;D ) Check it out... I told you I was precious (http://tinyurl.com/yt6y2y) with warm regards, Tony |

And remember Diamonds are a girl's best friend. ;) (oops I think they made a movie with that title back in the 50s, but I agree with it - have been collecting them since I was a little girl - mama taught me well) Cograts on the new diamond. Enjoy it. Hugs BD |

Title: Re: I don't know much 'bout diamonds but... Post by BobG on Feb 8th, 2007, 3:10pm I don't get why diamonds cost so damn much. I got a new crate motor for the hot rod and the wife asked how much it cost. I told her just a touch over four grand. She thought I was trying to put us in the poor house! Then I pointed at her fingers and said what about those. She has more than four grand on just one finger! How can one little friggin' piece of rock cost more than a complete 330hp engine? Wimmin......ya can't live with'em and ya can't live with'em. |

Diamonds fall out of the setting and go down the drain. I've never even once seen an engine fall out of anything. And, can a diamond make your hot rod go 130? Haaa, thought not! ;;D |

Always keeping in mind that none of them - engines, cars, boats, tv's, homes, diamonds - mean jack shit without truly meaningful, loving relationships with other human beings. I know, I know - that's a given. |
