I can imagine a lot of PSers are more amazing in real life. I also think it''s great that you go and meet them and obviously GTGs spur some great friendships.
Yup, which is why I like PS. A nice, WELL moderated forum where I can keep my head in the sand.Date: 8/5/2009 1:58:55 AM

Even online that happens if unmoderated. Fortunately, the GTG''s aren''t frequent enough for that kind of devolving (except for maybe some stray one off comments about the truly obnoxious.... hypothetically) and the Nor Cal ladies really do just want to have a fun ladies day out, so talking about positive things, instead of dwelling on any negatives is what happens-- unless it''s a personal negative thing that''s happened to someone, then of course support, assistance or help is offered. But then... that happens on line too.
It''s not for eveyone, and many come once or twice and then we just see them online... no apologies, or explanations expected or given.
Though I think we are all worried about Widget and miss her. Just because she was such a supporter and did seem to enjoy them, and we of course enjoyed her so much too.

I agree 100%. I''ve discovered that unless it is for a specfic support inquiry that unmoderated groups are not my thing. Specifically because of the concerns you raised about alliances and degenerative atmospheres. Which makes me sad, but lesson learned. But well... I''m not standing in a glass house, so I''m not going to throw stones.

Did speak to Leon this morning and he confirmed that he likes the shape of the stone and thinks it will be the perfect 5 stone (so I didn''t get any comments about too squatty!) He said it will take awhile to find the right side stones because they will be quite small. I think the ring will turn out pretty delicate actually and as much as I''d love a 5 stone honker, this ring ain''t going to be it. I do think it''s going to be inherently wearable.
It was a short conversation actually. I just told him to try whatever he thought looked best and to keep me posted. Oh, and to make sure those prongs were pointy!
I just have two things to say (because there''s always two things!)Date: 8/5/2009 2:11:47 AM
