As far as diamond's over rated and absolutely common, you cut a diamond it's just a diamond cut a rock a each and every piece is completely unique to me no comparison!

I like yogurt. And lobsters. Aged beef? Not so much!! Tried it, but couldn't get the idea of rotten meat out of my head.
And cheese is just artfully (and often deliciously) spoiled milk proteins....

$85 is higher then any piece of rock jewelry I have on my Etsy site and I am still not selling anything. Where is the justice in that. Chuck If you had as many people looking at your Etsy site as Nordstroms has looking at their site, you would be sold out too! Ditto for many others on this board. I think this rock is a purposely dumb gift though, kind of like those plastic singing trouts. I would take the ridiculous pet rock over that, at least it doesn't make noise!  |

It sold out because it got news coverage. Anything that gets news coverage will sell because a few people pay money just for the kicks.
Just like how Cards Against Humanity raised 100,000 recently from random people to dig a hole in the ground.

All prescription glasses cannot be purchased at the dime store. Mine are trifocals with the ability to turn into sunglasses when needed.
Nice that a lot can be made cheaply. I've heard of doctors advising patients to get xyz at the dime store. Good trend. 🤓

Drummond Island Rocks You could do something similar. Orphan rocks. They can be smaller and come in a torn little blanket suitable for pocket or purse.

I've heard of doctors advising patients to get xyz at the dime store. Good trend. 🤓 Quite true. Some Rxs need a skilled person to get the lens and frames to work together and then work with your face. With my Rx only a few frames will even be possibilities and then they have to be fitted in the frames perfectly. I therefore only go to the higher end shops and of these I have only found one at which I get consistently good results. They know just what frames are suitable and then make sure the finished glasses are right. Unfortunately these shops mostly carry designer frames, which certainly do seem overpriced. But good shops can also advise you on which frames will last for years and which may be discontinued or break easier. They are also up on the latest trends (if you are interested). |
