Jill: I've been meaning to bring the diamond thing up for a while. I love my diamonds too and really won't relate them much to ex anymore. He did give me a diamond tennis bracelet and expensive diamond earrings as well as my birthstone set all in the last few months we were together. Never got jewellery much of any kind before that. And I wear it all and wear it proud. I think its time to redo the diamonds from the engagement ring, though.

There are lots of "Freestyle Dining" cruises out there. My friend just got back from one on Norwegian Jewel. She loved it. Me - I prefer the formal stuff with a set group of people. You make great friends most of the time.
