Jon; It's just the full moon mooning us all. Be careful and know it will end in about a week. It starts about two to three days before and goes two to three after and drives a lot of people crazy. ha Including sweet lil ole me..ha They don't call it lunacy or lunatic for nothing.<BR>
<BR>
J-Dub; I like the one about change. Interesting piece.<BR>
Thanks for sharing.<BR>

In the story I just submitted there is a slight mistake. I asked Chris to name a pink jewel and he said "peridot." I said,"No, peridot is green." He insisted that peridot is his birthstone and all his life he has been teased for having a pink peridot. This is not correct. So they were watching a red, purple and GREEN sunset. Lovely. Maybe they're at Venice Beach and the green is the L.A. smog.<BR>
If I ever go on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and need to phone a friend I won't choose Chris. Ha.

Muryan ~ your story <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.06.24.14.58.29739">Third Time's The Charm</a> fits very nicely with my <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.06.24.11.29.23314">Not Like Them</a>. Your story made me feel very nice thinking I'm not the only person with two marriages behind her. (can you say, 'ashamed' kids? Nice try.) LOL! Mr.Rogers kicks ass!<BR>

LOL Misti, I'm a Libra too, and I thought my birth stone was opal, but I remember when I first got my ears pierced they had a tray of little colour gem stone studs with months under them. October's stone was a pale pink which I didn't like, so I got some other months gem stone. <BR>
<BR>
Anywho....so I looked it up on some jem stone site and apparently the birthstone is opal, the zodiac stone is Peridot, and the Mystical stone (???) is Pink Tourmaline! So I say Chris wasn't wrong... all our lives when we look in jewellery store windows we see pink stones advertised as our birth stone and .... and..... well... we get TOLD that our zodiac sign is peridot so we think... peridot... PINK!!  You see.....  Its not our fault I say! I didn't even know that such a thing as a 'mystical stone'.<BR>
<BR>
Funny though when Ross and I picked out that ring, it was a big fiery pink tourmaline... and I LOVED it.... It stayed in the jewellery store in New Zealand when I moved here, we couldn't afford to pay for it as well as shipping all my stuff over here. Oh well, I guess  picking out a different one will be fun.<BR>
<BR>
(There is apprently a plant stone and a lucky stone too, the information I got was on this site: <a href="http://www.multicolour.com/catalogue/astrology/libra.html">http://www.multicolour.com/catalogue/astrology/libra.html</a> ) who knew!!<BR>

Take care of your hearts,<BR>

Darnit Dee, you had to go and bring up that ring again, didn't you? I'd just about gotten it off my mind :-)<BR>
<BR>
My birthstone is peridot and green. I used to think it was the worst but I rather like it now.

When I was young I had the impression from somewhere that my birthstone was the diamond. But over and over again I was told it was aquamarine. Now I understand. My MODERN BIRTHSTONE is bloodstone and aquamarine. And my STAR SIGN stone is diamond (as an Aries, born on March 30th). <BR>

TJ and muryan~heh thanks for writing great 55 stories. That goes for everyone, I knew the blenderites would be able to come up with some amazing stuff.<BR>
<BR>
Splat~Congrats! I just got my grades back too, and thank god I passed! Actually, I did A LOT better than I thought I did and I'm happily surprised. It's going to be a good summer...until next semester when the madness starts all over again.<BR>
<BR>
Take care and all that college-boy stuff.<BR>

B.K. et al~<BR>
<BR>
Wow.  I've been gone a while.  Got caught up in a dating frenzy, which my 55 word story/poem/whatever will attest to.  And miles to go before I sleep. . .<BR>
<BR>
So B.K., in answer to your astrology question ages ago, I'm actually a Libra, near the cusp of Scorpio, with Saggitarius rising, and my moon in Aquarius.  Whatever that means.  All I know is "Pisces men need not apply".  That would be my ex-husband, my ex-fiance, my 3rd longest relationship, and the last debaucle.  Oh, and the guy I'm most attracted to right now of the batch I'm dating.  sigh. Run away.
