Wanting Your Opinion

A blogfriend  of mine, who has chosen to remain annonymous, asked me to ask for your opinion.....

She writes: My husband and I  will be celebrating out fifteenth anniversary  later this month. Since we now have more money than when we first married he  would like to upgrade my wedding rings; but I think it takes away from the  sentimental value of my current set. What do you think? Is it common to upgrade an engagement ring and  buy a new ring or get a bigger diamond?

What is  your opinion about "upgrading"  an engagement and/or wedding band?  If offered,  would you  wish to  "upgrade" yours?

Bikini Talk

Sun worries? Let your bikini do the talking:

As the bikini turns 60, it's entering the electronic age with a new model featuring a built-in alarm to warn wearers to get out of the sun -- and ease concerns that the scanty swimsuits damage health. The American Cancer Society advises that the best way to lower the risk of skin cancer, the most common form of the disease in humans, is to avoid too much exposure to the sun and other sources of ultraviolet light.So the Canadian company Solestrom has come up with a new bikini that goes on sale next month with a UV meter built into its belt and an alarm that beeps to tell wearers when to head to the shade.

"There's so much concern about sun exposure and skin cancer that we saw the demand and designed something to be safe for the wearer," Solestrom spokeswoman Emily Garassa said. Garassa said the meter on the $190 bikini displays a level of UV intensity on a scale from 0 to 20. A person's sensitivity to UV depends mainly on skin type, but generally three to five would be considered moderate strength, 8-10 very high and anything above 11 extreme.

Would you wear a bikini with a UV alarm? When is the last time you wore, or even tried  on a bikini? Am I the  only person alive who actually likes tho sing along with the chorus of  Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini? Finally, if your bikini really could talk, what  do you think it would  say?

Two Hankie Drama

A friend once commented that she did not like films that were tearjerkers because, well, they make her cry. Why is it that many women and most men are ashamed to shed tears over a work of art? Does exposing our sensibilities seem too threatening? Does becoming emotionally involved with fictional characters seem foolish? Of course not! I will readily admit that there have been many films that have made me reach for a tissue. The English Patient and Out of Africa are two that quickly come to mind. Of course there is also that Bambi moment.

Of course it is also possible to silently sob at the cost of going to the cinema. And openly weep at the prices charged at the concession stand.

Admit it. There has been at least one movie that made you cry. What was it?

Please Tell Us

Name a has-been actor or musician that you had (or still have!) a huge crush on.

Okay, stop clapping dammit you are holding up the game. Now,what is the current alphabet theme? Eight letter words. Yes, it is time to show off your big word collection.
