I lost a diamond out of a ring yesterday :(
It wasn't my wedding ring or anything, but its super annoying just the same! They're expensive little buggers (please forgive the australian-ism in the use of the word "bugger") to replace.
Its a dress ring I have, and the other reason its so annoying is that it only has 7 stones in it, sort of like this, but a lot plainer, so the missing stones are Dataceptionisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17454593308889629457noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649590.post-91940218902834540592010-04-23T17:09:00.001+10:002010-04-23T17:09:33.920+10:00Happy to see me?

Why is it always "the great American novel"? Isn't it more inclusive to say "the Great Novel"???

I made a very over-ambitious stab last year to read all the back catalogue of Questionable Content; this totally great comic I found online. It started back in 2003 and I’m currently up to #1254.
