def. not a michy influence...it is a mix, with some influence from the qualifiers. originally it was going to be a diablo supercorsa, but the pattern would have been almost too subtle.

At times those things get awfully heavy but I've gotten pretty well used to one.

yeap, which is doubly hard on the price...its heavy, market price is around $1200/oz and it takes more than a few ounces to make an 8mm wide men's band. feels good on the finger though. interesting inner shape called a "comfort fit."

Should take a few pennyweight (dwt) not ounces, you'll just think you bought ounces (troy). I've had a few left here, don't imagine the typical jeweler would want to cast one for you, melting point a bit high.

Congratulations!

Reminds me of this email I received yesterday...

--------------------------------------------------------

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 . I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.

In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3 , Football 5.0, Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6.

I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0. Please help!

Thanks,
Troubled User.....

Dear Troubled User:

This is a very common problem that men complain about.

Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 , thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING. It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0 . It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.

You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony/ Child Support . I recommend that you keep Wife 1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes dear" to alleviate software augmentation.

The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE! Because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance . Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0 , Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4. 2 .

However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5 . Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0

WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3 . This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system!

Best of luck,

Tech Support

Wow! Another one bites the dust... Judging from the ring design, you won't be giving up the bike any time soon. Thats great. It was a major deal to get and keep my bike, so you are one up on us all.


Congrats.

That's totally cool. I told my wife all things are negotiable except "I came into this marriage with a motorcycle and I'll go out with one"
