Let's Discuss: Judith Ripka early December 2014 visit--what are you getting/interested in?... :)

Ripkanistas: who is getting the TSV? I *might* already be E/P'd into oblivion so am just thinking about it at this point. ~Peach

Hi Peach,

Be careful with that weather! We have a friend in San Francisco -- they've closed the schools, her entire company is working from home, etc. Stay safe my friend!

I like the TSV but I'm afraid the 8 inch "fit" -- which is supposedly only 7 3/4 long -- won't cut it. Plus, like you, I'd like to take a step back from the land of easy pay.

As usual, too much DMQ for me...

{{Sammycat1}}, I'll be thinking of your friend because SF is supposed to really get slammed. That's great that her company is having everyone work at home.

Now the storm is supposed to hit us after midnight tonight, so I probably won't sleep much. Thanks for your kind concern.

I like the TSV, too, but hear you on the fit issues. Yeah, on the E/P...all those little "As Is" and clearance goodies that had been building up on my wishlist for a very long time...well, when everything went on E/P, let's just say I did a little housecleaning! I gasped when I checked it all yesterday. I need to be good for the next couple of months...at least!! Take care and thanks for posting!~Peach

I loved the glitter ball necklace Beth had on and the gigantic peridot bracelet for $4000.00 plus!!! What good taste I have (LOL) Hopefully, I'll find something a little more reasonable. take care during all that rain in CA ...we've been seeing it on the news. Here in South Florida, we are having lovely "cooler" weather in the 40's at night and it was 60 all day yesterday....I rode around with the sunroof open. Love it! Hope you are feeling better....enjoy the shows.

ghb, hello!! Isn't it funny that cooler weather in SoCal and Florida is 60s daytime/40s nighttime? Back in Illinois when it would hit those temps in May or so, you'd see kids walking around shirtless and driving very fast in convertibles with the top down because it was a heatwave!! It was like getting out of prison after six months plus of weather he l l.

Beth's glitterball necklace is so pretty! Isn't she the nicest person? Is there anything you decided on?

Take care and thanks for the sweet post! ~Peach

Hello StevieB~ I agree that sometimes it can get over the top. But, with an inventory of more than 3K J-numbers, there's plenty of DMQ-free choices to be had. Thank-you for your post. ~Peach

Hi Lucky Peach and fellow Ripkanistas! I am enjoying the show tonight on my laptop. My budget says I must refrain from new purchases. I did get the 14K gold clad inserts on clearance (they arrived this week) for my pearl system and they are great. Enjoy your purchases ladies!
