No worries, moni, it's confusing for people there. Atlanta is the nearest large city and Georgia is in the Eastern time zone, so 1 hour ahead. I'm told people often forget. When flying from Atlanta to Birmingham, a flight departing at 4:00 pm can be scheduled to arrive at 4:00 pm, or sometimes will be shown as arriving at an earlier time than the departure time, like - depart at 3:45, arrive at 3:40.

Kind of OT, but funny(ish). Last night we were watching a rerun of "Everybody Loves Raymond" where the whole family was having a birthday party for one of the characters Robert Barone. His wife Amy was wearing a lovely sheath dress with a lemon print and a lemon yellow shrug over the top. I asked my husband if he liked the dress . . . predictably he said "No." and then "Maybe if it was in a different color . . . " I told him that was yet another data point in my theory that he hates everything about lemons. He said yes. Then he said, "I like Debra's dress." That was similar except it was black with a few specks of white and watermelon pink, some type of floral pattern but mostly black. If my husband was younger I would say he is a goth. His son only wears black and grey clothing . . . but my husband has a special dislike for anything pastel. I just might be married to a vampire . . .

Yes-- three of my bracelets have the bar bead. I don't have any issues. The arc is perfect for me but I have large bones. I wear mine with the bar on the bottom but my friends at the boutique and my sister wear theirs on top (they all stack them with multiple bracelets). I took a few quick photos so you can see how it lays on my wrist (which again-- is big) I know @Sueb20 is more petite than I am and I think she has one with a bar bead also-- so maybe wait for her response? I prefer all beads -- but the silver bar is very pretty also. I will also say that my absolute favorites are the longer chains with magnetic clasps that can be worn as a necklace or wrapped and worn as a bracelet. They don't wrap well on my big ol wrists but they look great on others. I wear them as necklaces. ETA .. no inspirational notes. Some of the listings include details on the stones and their meaning and "powers".. and some include the inspiration for the design. I have copied some of them into my own personal notes.

Good to 'hear' from you, Glenda! Being our age (I think I'm a couple of months ahead of you) isn't easy, I'm glad you are able to have some help/care. And I understand if you wish it weren't necessary. Hang in there, and know we care about you! Rusty
