Thumb? Or painted nails?

I have a blueish Saphire ring on the right, and a silver wedded & divorced on the left... and no matter how hard i try - i still can't figure what's clearly written on both - wait - lemme the microscope;

How times flies. When names matter less.

Carats, gold.

Great Game, KP!!!

 I feel sorry for the southeast being hit by Hurricane Katrina then they have go through this too. If you want to read more on this click on the link:

PARKLAND, Fla. – At the height of the U.S. housing boom, when building materials were in short supply, American construction companies used millions of pounds of Chinese-made drywall because it was abundant and cheap.

     The drywall apparently causes a chemical reaction that gives off a rotten-egg stench, which grows worse with heat and humidity.

     Now that decision is haunting hundreds of homeowners and apartment dwellers who are concerned that the wallboard gives off fumes that can corrode copper pipes, blacken jewelry and silverware, and possibly sicken people.

     In another cruel twist, some of the very communities that have been hit hardest by the collapse of the housing market and skyrocketing foreclosure rates are now at the epicenter of the drywall problem.

I'm trying an idea on the Immense galaxy today. Works OK so far:

I'll run it 2 more years to see what happens.

A modest increase:

Thanks, KP!!! Here's another one:

This squeaks by my previous high score by about 5K.

Welcome to our newest warrior, AMIGO!  May the Fanged God grant you endless victories!

After I do my taxes today (fun!), I'm off to start another giga-abundant game, this time with the right character, hehe.  Shooting for 1 million again...

Sentient species taste better...

That is one thing I don't understand.  Why is it that people wait until the last minute to file their taxes?  Mine got done back in early February...

I guess the other deciding factor (beside laziness) is if you know you will owe or not.  I knew I was just barely in the green (run withholdings for the lowest return [aka smallest overpayment] possible) so I wanted my money back ASAP.  Now, if I knew I was owing, those buggers would have waited until after my b-day to get their money...that in itself is the very thing I just boggled about above, seeing my b-day was just yesterday lol.

Getting to take the std deduction and THEN claiming property taxes was nice this year.  I cannot wait for next year's filing though.  My wife is seasonally laid off over the winter, so she's on unemployment for 3 months.  We never get any federal taxes taken out, so that we have as much money as we can over winter.  Since we make sure our work paychecks make enough buffer, we are making up for that lack of federal tax payment.  However, this 2009 stimulus will make the first $2,400 of UC federal tax free.

Also a belated b-day to SMG and Pete Rose...the Titanic hitting the iceburg and Lincoln being shot...er wait, those two were bad things.

Nah, just know these things by now.  The Pete Rose one my uncle brought up to my mom the day I was born.  Thru the years I caught the Titanic and Lincoln things.  The slight distinction with them is important.  The Titanic HIT the iceburg on the 14th, sank on the 15th; Lincoln was SHOT the 14th, died on the 15th.

Sarah Michelle Gellar however I caught on to when I was a devoted fan to the Buffy series.

When yer all through with yer morning naps in the ol' sunspot, waddle on over to the War Council for the morning Kitty Snack. I'm not quite sure what it is, since it got run over by several cars, but it is made of meat and smells pretty good!
