I'm generally annoyed by Tim Allen, but I loved "Galaxy Quest." And as for diamond commercials: feh. I told the Hoopy Frood that I didn't want a diamond. One, I don't like diamonds. Two, he doesn't need to buy me jewelry to prove his love. (I think sticking by me during grad school is proof enough.) Three, you can't be certain they aren't mined with slave labor or used to fund organizations I can't get behind. If he feels the need to spend that much money, I'd rather he get something we can both enjoy.
Thank you for pointing out my spelling error, I needed that humbling experience. Too bad the red ink pen software hasn't been invented yet.
Oh great pet peeve! Everytime I tell someone about jewelry store commercials they look at me like I have five heads. I'm so glad you wrote that!
I feel the same way so when Paul and I got engaged I refused a ring. I figure if he wanted to demonstrate sacrificing love he could bring me coffee every morning.
Galaxy Quest is a favorite movie in our bedlam. Every time we show it the kids walk around like giant octupi and start talking like Mathesar.
My mom's "test" of my wife was giving me her engagement ring. WHen my parents got engaged, my father bought her a ring he couldn't afford, and she made him take it back for something smaller. My two brothers' (an MD and a Cornell business major) three fiances were all after money, all three wanted *bigger* rings, and all three relationships ended badly.
