Christmas Gifts

 

1. My wedding ring belonged to my great grandmother and I don’t wear an engagement ring.
   Btw-my “ring” hasn’t had THAT affect on me at all-much to Mike’s disapointment

2. DeBeers and the other big diamond companies are seriously worried about how manufactured diamonds are going to devalue the rocks that they mine out of the ground.  The manufactured versions are 100% diamond and right now there’s no test that can truly tell the difference, except that the manufactured versions are so perfect that the perfection gives a hint.

   Manufactured Diamonds: Should De Beers and Intel be Worried?

   Look for ad campaigns trying to convince people that mined diamonds are more “real” and valuable.

   Me?  They’re clear rocks.  Big deal.  If my wife wants precious stones, it’s emeralds as green is one of her favorite colors.

   Clue to the guys who are falling for the diamond ads:  What she really wants is your love, your time, your loyalty, and your lusty desire.  Ooo-rah.

3. For a more humorous take on DeBeers:

   Not safe for work parody.
