For some reason, I left off in my post that diamonds are more difficult to damage compared to other gemstones.

Weird thing is, many of the young ladies that seemed to be into that whole thing and talked about it - ended up taking the live in path instead.

I suppose for them the driving force was shallow.

Glen's post has had me laughing as it recalls the woman that really went all out to show off that engagement ring.

She ended up a few years later taking up a very militant cause, eventually rising to VP in a well known organization that does lots of protest stuff.

It was just not evident at the time, not sure what kicked that career into being.

It was bizarre. I did gain some knowledge of what goes on in the organization.

Still makes me laugh as there are very inconsistent and opposing ideologies swept within the same banner and they fail to realize it.

Maybe it was the TV time that was attractive.
