I have a diamond and platinum cross on a thin platinum chain. It was given me several years ago by someone who meant a lot to me. When I took off my sweater last night I realized it was gone. Hoping it will turn up in my office or apartment, but not optimistic. I am devastated.

Thats terrible. I know that feeling in the pit of the stomach when you realize there's probably nothing you can do but bear the loss. Oy

Me too.

I really sympathise, Daisy: it's a terrible feeling. I so hope you find it.

[Daisy]

Thanks, Rose and clb. You know it's only an object, but I was horribly attached to it.

Daisy, I've noticed that pretty cross on you. I hope you find it. I lost a locket about 10 years ago - it was a little gold locket that my grandfather had given my mother when she was a little girl. I still get upset when I think about it.

Beans that won't soften and gristly sausages Especially when said sausages are poncy upmarket types. Happened to me twice in one week: first Tavola Italian spicy sausages (these really had NO excuse), then Brindisa own-label chorizo. I'm more forgiving of the latter as I've always considered them an inferior product with a dodgy ingredient list. The nicest chorizo I know at the moment are the organic ones that come in a packet from near Segovia.

I was going to complain about sitting at desk in wet shoes and socks from the torrential downpour here, but it seems kind of trivial compared to the loss of a platinum and diamond keepsake.

ARGGGHHHHHH! I can't stand it...Now that Massachusetts has a no-call list, they can't junk-call me, but the junk faxes....And they usually come at 4 in the morning, and my office is at home....ARGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention what it costs in ink cartidges.....Must....kill....now....

Plus, I sometimes forawrd my phone(which has a dual fax #) to my cell phone, so I get to pay for those junk fax calls.....

Hey, wet shoes suck. Complain away. You still won't be as big a whiner as I am.

Alrighty. I rent office space from a firm that has the entire floor. My shoes were so wet and squishy that I took them off so that they and my socks could dry. Just once, I went to kitchen for a bottle of water in my socks, and I got a lot of strange looks. What these folks never seen a man walking around an office in his socks before?

I hate losing such things.

Last Christmas during my parents' holiday party, I wore an antique ruby and gold circle pin that my mother had given to me. And when I took off my sweater, I discovered it was missing. I frantically told my mother and she resolutely said: "Well, it has to be in the house." I looked all over. I annouced to those around me to never EVER give me anything valuable again. I was devestated.

Four days later she asked the old cat (who is now with the angels) whom she swore helped her find things--the cat really didn't but you know what I mean-- and she found the pin buried amongst wrapping paper and ribbon basket. I have no idea how it got there as the night of the party, I had fallen asleep on a neighboring couch with one of the dogs---but not close enough to the basket. Maybe the cat did put the pin in the basket for safekeeping.

Today's Panic: my appellate brief, Johnson v. California, is due in 4.5 hrs and I have to shorten it by a page.

Daisy, I hope you find the necklace.

We'd better win this one Nerissa. I've had it up to here with our ongoing litigation against California.

I better not get a bill for this exchange. (Her rates are scandalous!)
