You know your a PS''er when your at your doctors for a physical and all you can think about is her horribly cut, dull, lifeless included stone and feeling sorry for her.

I always sort of wonder about that...how do people not notice their diamonds are horrible quality?? My doctor always comments on mine though...but hers are terrible!

So many people think my wrings are new or just cleaned (duh they are clean

) - I politely say no and don''t point out to them "it''s the cut and quality" and my DH is always proud of me that I don''t say tell them that - tee hee.

I was definitely "You know you''re a PSer" today when I had to keep forcing myself to pay attention to the cars in front of me insteading of enjoying the fire coming off my wrings as the sun was shining in the car window.

Harleigh, I haven''t gotten up in the middle of the night to respond to a post but I sure think about it all the time; I check PS when I get up, as soon as I set down to my laptop and several times a night.

Maisie, I hardly look at the jewelry in the B&M at the mall anymore; I just go away disappointed and most of the diamonds leave me saying "ewe".

These are great - keep them coming fellow PS''ers.

You know you''re a PS''er when you spend long stints in the refrigerator shooting your rb upgrade, because you love the lighting in there!!

You know you''re a PSer when you read the post above, glance down at your ring, then at the fridge in thoughtful contemplation, happy that you now know where you next photoshoot will occur.

....when you know the difference between fire and scintillation

....when you clean your ring before going to the grocery store (which for some reason you seem to do about four times a week

) because you love how much your ring sparkles under the store''s lights.

....when you have been able to entertain yourself for 20 minutes or longer just by flapping your wrist in every direction because the light from the facets of your stone reflects onto a surface like a bunch of laser pointers. lol.

Why stop there?

You know you''re a PSer when you feel that urgent need to clean other people''s jewelry.

Then, you know you''re a HARDCORE PSer when it''s because you felt more sorry for the diamond that the for person wearing it!

I was standing in front of the grocery store freezing my butt off for 4 hours yesterday selling girl scout cookies with my oldest daughters, and I was actually enjoying the opportunity to see everyone''s rings when they came up to me. Easy scoping!

 

[Pandora II]

I''ve just check out the fridge lighting - I HAVE THE WRONG REFRIDGERATOR

It did nothing at all, and now I know we obviously bought the wrong model...

Okay, you know you are a PSer when:

- you have more friends on-line than IRL

- when your SO can talk knowledgeably about spessartite garnets and the difference between OECs and modern brilliants despite never having seen one...

- when you now spend all your free time (when not on PS) being your family/friends/colleagues chief jewellery expert.

- when you get a kick out of high-end jewellers looking mortified when you ask them to guess what the stone in your e-ring is (payment for wanting a closer look!)

- when you feel physically sick that someone you know:

a) bought their FI a diamond without asking for your help and has bought frozen spit for more $$$ than an ACA
b) wears their e-ring 24/7, never cleans it and never checks the prongs - because diamond is the hardest thing on earth so it''s no problem to garden in it...

- when you spend less time on Ebay, but your credit-card bill goes up due to buying rocks.

- when given the choice between going out to a party or spending an evening on PS you know you''d be very tempted to stay at home with the laptop!

OMG, Jolifer, that one is too funny (and too true!)

You know you''re a PSer when you start conversations with your partner ''So on today Pricescope, someone was posting about...''

OR, you''re at work, and someone brings up a topic and you say ''Oh yeah, someone was telling me about that...'' and you realize it was a thread on PS

OMG!

I do this all the time.

 

[marcy]

Great ones Pandora.

Your know you''re a PS''er when you give you friends with dirty jewelry a jar of jewelry cleaner

You know you''re a PS''er when you know which restaurants have the best lighting for diamonds

Your know you''re a PS''er when you walk in to a B&M jewelry store and you know why they have dark and yellow lighting

 

[canuk-gal]

HI:

You know you are a..... although you''ve never met the other PS''er in person, you would recognize her/hand in a crowd b/c of her ring!

cheers--Sharon

 

[Skippy123]

Also, you wonder who had a baby while you were away

Gotta love those PS baby''s

You know you''re a PSer when you think "REALLY?", grab your camera, and dash off to the refrigerator immediately after reading coati''s post!

Guilty!! It''s a sickness! I''ve often made excuses to get out of doing something just because I already had plans for a date with PS. I''m especially guilty of this on Friday evenings b/c I just relish the thought of going home and unwinding on PS. It''s just so relaxing and enjoyable "being" around diamonds.

Going away for the weekend and being away from a computer is trauma - pure separation anxiety!

You know you are a PS''er when you stay up later than you should at night and wake up sleepy in the morning b/c you have WANTED to stay up and help someone who is seeking diamond help ... and then you wake up extra early in the morning and sign in just to make sure that they found what they were looking for only to discover that they are way more laid back or less into it than you b/c they haven''t come back to check their post as of yet.

 

[777_LDY]

This is such a fun thread!! You know you''re a PS''r when:

your best friend gets engaged and you get so excited you yell "stats, stats!!" She has no clue what this means...

you get into a heated conversation and immediately start thinking about pie, whipped cream, and cake.

someone tells you something funny an instead of laughing you say LOL or a certain emoticon pops into your mind.

 

[emilina22]

you know your a PS'er when you cant stay focused on the seRmon at church becasue you wish you had your camera with the lighting in church does wonders for your ring and you only wish you can take pictures...

Had to point out the best typo EVER!!! I wanna join your church!!

It sounds really fun!

You know you are a PS'er when you wake up in the middle of the night with the best ever idea for setting your new diamond and you wake up you hubby to tell him about it.

You know you are a PS'er when you get annoyed at the sale's lady at the jewelry store constantly referring to J-color diamonds as "poor quality" and tell her to stop being a diamond color snob.

[emilina22]

oh my gosh i feeel SOOOOOOOOO dumb i soooooooooooooo did not mean that lol

haha you know your a PS'er when you tell your SO of an awesome recycling project and he knows it ihas to do with diamonds and not old paper and plastic...

When you go to the bank to deposit a check and they run the check through a ultraviolet light reader and you ask if you can put your diamond under that light to see the fluorescence.

I actually did this and the teller was totally amazed. She asked all about it and then she put her ring in there, a three stone, and one of her side stones had fluor, about medium, and she wanted ALL her stones to have it. It was hilarious.

Then you know you are a PSer with an addiction issue, when you think, "hey, I should go back to that bank with my digital camera so I can post a pix of that glowing stone!"

 

[lisa1.01fvs1]

You know....a PS when SA and store owners always ask if you are in the "trade."

Or when SA actually turn away form you and scowl if you''re helping a friend find a good diamond!

 

[lisa1.01fvs1]

couldn''t resist.

I''m a PSer cause now I''m running around saying "show me your Argyle Pinks"

People think I''m talking Klingon or something

Really?!! I don''t know that I would have ever thought to do that, but now that you mentioned it...

 

[marcy]

Some great new additions. 777 "Stats, Stats" made me laugh.

Your know you''re a PS''er when you take a magazine to the airport to read and you find their lighting brings out the fire in your diamond so you know what I did to entertain myself

Your know you''re a PS''er when you get home at 12:15 a.m. still have to unpack the car, clean you contacts, get ready for bed but still take the time to clean you jewelry

This actually happened to me yesterday. Mr.7''s and I were discussing a touchy subject and all I could think about was yummy foods, diamonds, and certain threads. He was like hun, are you listening and I just couldn''t help but smile (which actually eased the conversation!!)
My next thought was that I couldn''t wait to post about it!

[chickpea]

this thread is totally cracking me up!

i''ve been home sick for three days, completely miserable

and this is probably the first time i''ve laughed out loud! so thanks for that

now i have one:
you know you''re a ps''er when your cold has you feeling so terrible you can''t be bothered to get out of bed to shower, but your ring still takes its daily bath in the US

 

[joflier]

Your a PSer if you''ve changed all the available light bulbs in your house to be sparkle friendly!
