Oh my goodness gracious dear!! I’m so happy you have all of these treasures to both enjoy and also share with us. They sound so lovely and I’m beyond excited to see. I also can’t wait to see your closet!! I don’t think I can be much help with your diamond pendant because I am very simple and prefer simple designs. I know that what you pick will be lovely! My engagement ring is an oval diamond so I am very partial to ovals.
I recently got 2 antique gold pig pendants to wear together on my neck. My daughter was born in the year of the earth pig and so was my Dad. It’s not a diamond necklace but I love it!

These are wonderful! The big one for your Dad and the small one for your daughter.

I love pigs as it reminds me of when my kids raised them for 4-H.

I get what you mean. Surgery + concerns about the post covid economy + cabin fever has my mood in the basement. Mr. S and I have had to keep our own communication very open and focused on “real time” fluctuations so we stay connected and happy. It’s too easy to bicker when there are multiple stressors.

I have to say, he is better at that in the beginning that I am. He’s great at staying calm and heading off potential issues between us. For example, this morning I was just in a craptastic mood because my foot hurts and I feel like I’m going to scream if I’m in this house too much more (for me it’s been pretty much since 2/12 when I had the surgery. Not just covid time) He did a great job of seeing that and cuddling me. Being honest, the whole time I wanted him to get the heck away from me. :lol: But, the irritating hugs (lol) did get me to see I was being a grump so I could right my attitude.

On the flip, if an issue does develop between us, I’m much better at being reasonable, making peace and bringing us back together.

Is that odd? For those of you in relationships with a special person, do you find you have to lean into different sets of skills to keep the relationship going? Did you learn the skills or was it just natural?

My DH is wonderful. I've complained about him over the years because he isn't any help around the house. I've had to do everything - cook, clean, take care of the kids. I pay the bills. But now I'm appreciating him more. He lets me slide when I don't clean as often as I should. He doesn't complain about things I buy. He puts up with me when I get moody. He has a great sense of humor. We are in agreement about so many things. We are best friends.

During this crisis, he was the first one to get alarmed and made us go grocery shopping before everyone else panicked so we were able to get everything we needed, even though we had to buy some substitutes because the store we went to didn't carry our normal brands.

We are still working (financial), but are moving all appointments to teleconferences.
I am hanging out on tPF, mostly the H scarf thread for light hearted eye candy, worrying, watching tv, worrying, cooking, worrying, reading, walking the dog and depleting the cellar.
I watched my favorite Mickey Mouse cartoon today for some giggles.

Please make sure to get as many giggles as possible! Staying in a positive mood is so important!

Nonessential businesses must close. Everyone should stay home.but you can go to grocery stores, banks, gas stations etc..just maintain 6ft distance (even while walking the dog) All this hoarding is ridiculous. Toilet paper, bottled water...and OMG guns. Seriously the last thing we need is more guns bought by freaked out people. Anyway, I suppose we could be stopped and asked why we’re out..but I doubt it since we’re not under martial law. Essential trips only. I can handle that.

That´s what we´ll get here, soon, too.

Thank-you! Ebay says the bag was shipped, but I don´t have a tracking number. so far I´m not nervous. I am laughing about myself for getting a bag "I can actually use" as chances I will do so in the near future seem to be little. Well, I can always play with it at home and parade in front of the mirror!

Update on my purchase:
my bag arrived in the post today- lovingly wrapped and such a pleasure to unwrap. Now my whole room is full of the magic scent of Dior leather. I think I´m in love! The bag is in great condition and simply lovely.
Je ne regrette rien!

Dior saddle bag from 2003
The strap is my "creation"

I put in in the authentification thread (there wasn´t any time to do this before making the purchase as I found the auction too late) though I checked all details over and over re pictures of known samples and am sure it´s authentic. But what do I know. Well, I hope I am right. If this is a fake they even faked the scent.

Update2: I just checked the authenticicating thread again and noticed this very bag had already been discussed there for another member and is believed to be authentic! Yippeehh!

Hey @msd_bags! Telenovas? Hmmm...I dunno if I can get into any midstream. I am just craving getting out to do something like bike riding or dancing. It’s not just the virus. It’s the lockdown on this stupid foot / boot. :annoyed:

I couldn’t take it anymore and ran (hobbled) errands today. UPS & pharmacy - no issues. Then I decided to get a few groceries. HA! The shelves were empty!! Seriously, why?!? Are people hoarding food?!? This has gotten ridiculous. I had to go to 3 stores to find eggs. There has to be a better way to manage this. I’m terribly worried about people losing jobs.

So glad you are back and that surgery went well.
