hi Nora,
I know this is a belated response, but I am very happy you are pleased with your 2nd marriage. I feel blessed and can't imagine not having a sweet life partner. I cannot imagine your first husband just leaving a note. How low. My sister, God rest her soul, once had a boyfriend dump her without any warning or explanation. This was after her husband died, and she was so desvastated because she was already so vulnerable. But I know they really did not get along very well, and I guess he was tired of not getting along. One day he just stopped calling...Anyway, sorry I responded so late. I was computer lazy the last few days.

Mrs. Dolittle,
I loved seeing Pam and wes. I look forward to seeing her collection. I miss her and Charla Rine, who was a hoot. They disappeared from ShopNBC after years and years of being on. I wonder what the strength in the collection represents...

[NoraBatty]

Mrs. Poe, It was just a horribe experience for my ex to leave like he did after 16 years of marriage!

I became stronger through it. And now my husband and I have been married 21 years. My ex lives alone in Texas and has never remarried.

[mrsdolittle]

The temperature here today is minus-12 degrees, vey windy and bitterly cold!

[MrsPeacock]

Here it's in the single digits with wind chills at -25! Brrrr...

Wendy has a black diamond ring I am drooling over -- NVC552. Where are the coupons when you need them?

[Bella678]

In the 20s here.... Very cold outside.

That is a beautiful black diamond ring. It sold out almost over night before Christmas.

[MrsPeacock]

Too bad for me that I won't buy it without a good coupon. It's the first black diamond ring I really liked of KTV's. I like the "shoulders" all pave'd in the black.

[MrsPeacock]

I like the TTV at ShopNBC today. I have to hold myself back. I am waiting till Chuck does the big KUNZITE premiere at Midnight Sunday. Oh, I wonder how much his ring will be? I bet it's $1000 or more.

His bigger morganites are on sale this week, like my Mega huge heart solitaire and Bella's big oval with the pink sapphires and diamonds. So pretty.

Hi all, I have no phone service and just got my internet back, so if I'm gone for a while you all will know why, such a pain!

MrsPeacock, going to look at that black diamond ring.

[MrsPeacock]

Chuck has the rainbow necklace back. Should I get the 20" now? Back in Oct, the 20 was sold out. I got the 18". Today it is $298. I paid $284 then. Is it worth the hassle and extra money to send mine back for the 20?

[Bella678]

Mrs.Peacock,
Would the longer length be more comfortable to wear? If so I would get that one. Can you order the longer .... Compare the two.. And then send one back?

CopyThat,
Glad you are back on-line.

Mrs.Dolittle,
Is it cold in your neck if the woods. I went to eat brunch today with a friend and it was still below freezing. First real cold snap here.?

There will be. Moissanite Elite Show on Friday. I saw it on my DVR schedule.

[mrsdolittle]

Bella, It is minus 2 degrees right now. we went out today and had lunch at Wendy's; hardly anyone in there. Then we went to Krogers and Walmarts for groceries and it was not very busy either. Hubby started the car up and let it run for about 10 minutes befre we left. I wore my insulated undershirt under my wool sweater today to keep me warm and it did the job :)))

[mrsdolittle]

Mrs P., If it were my decision I would send it back as I was thinking you said the 18 inch necklace was a little snug on you. This way you would have two extra inches.

[MrsPeacock]

I am getting the 20". It's about $20 more if you count the return shipping, but it's also 2 inches longer. I will try to hold onto the old one until it comes, but I have to have it mailed back before the 31st to get a refund. If it gets too close, I will just have to take a chance and send back the 18 without seeing the 20.

Thanks for the input on that decision. I really wanted the 20 from the beginning, but it wasn't available before.

Mrs. Dolittle, it sounds like you were well prepared for the cold. Long underwear would sure come in handy today.

Copythat, glad you have your internet back.

[NoraBatty]

Minus 12?? Holy cow!! You all are in a deep freeze!!! It is 42 here.

Copythat I'm sure you are relieved to get your phone and internet back.

What rainbow necklace???

My dad got me two 500 piece jigsaw puzzles for Christmas. So every spare minute I'm pouring over the first one.

[NoraBatty]

Chuck's was sold out!

[Bella678]

Mrs.Dolittle,
It is supposed to get in the lower 20s tonight. That is plenty cold enough for me. ;) Yea... And at 2 degrees I would be loathe to go to the Walmart for shoppin'. I would be wanting that underwear that is heated using a little battery.

Nora,
500 pieces? I would be pulling my hairs out!

[mrsdolittle]

Nora, I got my MIL a 1000 piece puzzle for Christmas. She is still working on it and will be for a very long time.

Bella, It is minus -9 degrees here right now, very cold!

[mrsdolittle]

Sent you all a measly $15 off coupon for JTV; so check your email.

[MrsPeacock]

Wow, those are some big puzzles. I don't have the skill for that. Maybe I don't have the patience, LOL!

The rainbow necklace is one of Chuck's tennis necklaces that I have become a fan of. I have the morganite, mystic topaz and chrome diopside versions. I bought the rainbow last fall, but it was only 18 inches, and some of the stones were a little opaque. I was on the fence as to whether to return it because it was discontinued. I had just decided to keep it when Chuck came on yesterday with the 20 inches. I decided to get the 20 to compare with the 18. If the 20 doesn't ship today, then I will have to return the 18 without seeing the 20 first. Here's hoping the 20 is a keeper.

The 18 inches fit fine, but all the others are 20 inches, and they cost the same no matter the length. I prefer the longer ones with more carats :).

The item number on the rainbow is 118-248. I believe it sold out again.

This morning it is about 7 degrees warmer than yesterday and the wind is less. We won't get above freezing until Monday. Brrrr....

[MrsPeacock]

I see that Jen was showing Bella Luce Morganite. I guess they can make Bella look like anything these days. Not for me. I like the real thing, and I am sure you all agree.

The only created pink stone I may want is that moissanite heart in pink that I can't wait to see.
