Hello, Mr. Stix - it's all true - I remember when Aqua wrote me and said she wanted to learn to do the music posts that you always did - you had been 'away' for awhile when she wrote!

Look forward to seeing your profile page when you get all your 'gifts' on it!

?? So?? LOL -- we only care, as I understand the situation, when The Thin Man makes an error. ;) Now find a grammar/typographical error by The Thin Man, and I'll be all ears! All else is forgiven.

Hi "sistahs". Isn't this the most beautiful thread today. Billie and daisy outdid themselves!

Daisy and I probably do our best work 'together'! We've done three or four now? She writes, I put it together. (And when daisy posts it, T Man doesn't realize I had a hand in it, so he doesn't be mean to me then) :)

[Aquamarine]

Aqua taffeta.....that reminds me I wore that in a wedding one time when I was younger and it made a beautiful wedding color to go along with the white wedding dress. If anyone plans on getting married in the future I recommend that color for the brides maids.

(Well, my Doctor says that I should really quit "trying to act like I'm 20". ROFL! After all, I am "just a tad older than 20". LOL)

I have that same problem, I grew old but not up.

LOL. At least we didn't grow OUT

[Aeronaut]

...You are quite the early riser aren't you????

I slept in today. Wasn't up until about 4:05. ;-)

[Diver Dave]

[SAMWolf]

LOL. At least we didn't grow OUT

Oops! I did some of that, too much home cooking.

[FreeTheHostages]

Crumpets! Wonderful. MadIvan, care for some tea? We have crumpets! We're celebrating Aquamarine as one of Freepdom's Finest.

February: Amethyst

The royal purple amethyst has one of the most interesting histories of any gemstone. Ever since mankind first discovered amethyst around 3000 B.C., this accessible gemstone has been believed to possess a wide variety of amuletic qualities and properties. The ancient Egyptians believed amethyst could keep a person from being poisoned. In medieval times, amethyst was often put under one's pillow to cure insomnia and bring pleasant dreams. Medieval churchmen used amethyst rings and jewels to promote divine revelations and wisdom, since amethyst was considered a symbol of Christian love and sacrifice. Amethyst also was said to enhance courage and creativity, to promote intuition, psychic development and even self-esteem, to deflect anger, and protect the wearer against evil.

Through the ages this lovely purple member of the quartz family has been used for everything from love charms to symbols of royalty. Yet, for all its noble traditions, amethyst is a surprisingly affordable gem.

Amethysts that are heat treated retain their color remarkably well, but it's still wise to keep any amethysts away from strong heat and steam cleaning. Heat treating is a stable and accepted process, which has been used by the jewelry industry for thousands of years. However, when buying any colored gemstone, ask if the stone is of natural origin or if it has been treated in any way to enhance its beauty.

Traditionally associated with royalty and luxury, the amethyst has become the February birthstone in this century. Amethyst is tough and durable, wears well, and gives modern men and women the look of royalty at very affordable prices.
