Yes...but not too close to the foot...it would look weird...

Well if you want my honest opinion I think it suits you well.

Thanx to everyone and Yes...Pam has caught the bug but with a 'Big Caution Sign'...she has decided she likes them but can't get over the hump of spending that 'Kind of Cash' on a watch. I encourage her to do what she wants and if she would like one...I will buy her the one she wants.....

Now as for the pink dialed DateJust's, when she tried them on she felt they did not go with her skin color/complexion(very fair skin which freckles and strawberry blond hair)...but found that the same TT DateJust with the Silver Flowered Dial looked great on her. I told her let's get it then but again she is very practical and has a hard time seeing herself with an expensive watch on her wrist when that 'Kind of Cash' could be a great down payment on a car.....

Anyhow, this coming Saturday, August 3rd, is their special sale on everything, including Rolexes, in the store. When we come in we will each be given a Fortune Cookie to break open and what ever percent off is stated on the slip of paper will be the discount you receive toward a purchase. So who knows...Pam is usually very lucky!!!

Take care to all, off to run errands.....Leo

You could bake your own fortune cookie and sneak it in, and put a 75% discount inside.

They will never suspect. It's almost too easy. Mwahahahahaaa (that's my evil plan laugh)

Wow, just checked out some of your vids Bas, so many. Lots of computer games, shame I'm just not into playing much anymore. Like the russian car crash ones, can't believe the driving in that crazy country. And see you've been to the south coast UK.

Yes lots of pc game videos
I really like the southern part of the UK, we were there for two weeks and stayed in an apartment in Hastings and from there we visited London, Canterbury, Brighton, lots of little villages, and we enjoyed the British beach and countryside.

Dunno what page I started posting on Judy. I dread to think all the silly stuff I posted

In my defence I had probably been drinking and/or on heavy medication. Or provoked by Carl. Or under Lisa's spell.

So. They told me yesterday that my job ends 8/31. This is NOT a good time. We were both out of work for a very long time and have been paying back bills. And buying watches because I was told this contract would last a number of years. Well it did. That number was one.

Anyone got relatives in the federal govt? *sigh*

I think she's been here long enough to know you don't need anything or anybody to make you post silly things Wes...

MIkki, sorry to hear that. I hope things turn around for you both. It would be a shame to sell any of your watches. Thankfully DC has a good subway system.. Start with your car. I hope you had a chuckle, really, hope things turn around for you both.
