Not me . I refused I diamond when married 23 yr ago . I asked for a simple silver band . I will never get married again I am pretty sure , but if I was to , I will make sure nobody seals the " deal " w such offerings ?

@maturin1919 I don't know. But I suspect that is beside the point that I was trying to make.

The point is that the diamond is expensive also as a result of collective myth, one that is far more prevalent than the crystal myth. (Crystal meth? LOL!) But both myths enrich the few at the expense of many.

@Donotbelieve I have. Knowing all this. So I am not casting any stones.

Bourbon would be cheaper and based in reality. But if it helped her, good for her.

W dead presidents on it ? ??????

@Pralina1 You bet. I used to always have clusters on my desk, and if someone wanted me to part with them, I knew just enough mythology and marketing to profit off my collections. I actually preferred the paper with pictures of an inventor/printer. (Franklin)

Now THAT'S GOOD!!! ? POP IT

@Captain_Feelgood homeopathy and holistic and crystals and essential oils make me laugh to tears . Pills and pills for everything , it makes me cry , and yes , it keeps us in buisness ? Both ridiculous for different reasons , somewhere in the middle , mindfulness ? At the very least , research , relax and find ways to be " alive " mentally and emotionally ! The physical part mostly follows if the mind is hapoy . Of course , not always the case , tell 6 yr old cancer Johny that , and he will slap u , but u know what I mean .
