I hope this link works -- Have you heard of this before? It is "eye" jewelry. Jewelry that hangs from a thin wire from your contacts - it freaks me out LOL (I do, however, kind of like the contacts with the crystals in them)
Scroll down a little bit and there is a youtube video of someone wearing it

Check out ebay, just type in bakelite and check all categories. I actually did this today when I read your post. You can get some ideas there.
beaded jewelry sm
I did start this hobby and used only the best beads, there are a lot of online companies who will sell to you but I found after much expense and hard work that "everyone" is doing it and I attended a few craft shows but they were overrun with people who all made beaded jewelry. I don't know, perhaps I'm sick of working with my hands, it went pretty fast and I was proud of myself, but ended up giving it all away as gifts and gave up on trying to sell it. It's all the rage now to be taking beading classes and there are just too many selling it. If I'm going to sit all those hours, I make more in transcription and feel like I cheapened myself by getting into the "jewelry industry." Just my take on it, as I said, I used expensive beads, sterling silver clasps, and spent a lot of money which I did not get back. I have the most necklaces in town and I don't even wear jewelry -- too much "clanking, too much noise." It is also very addicting, "just one more necklace" and you end up with a hundred. Also, I pictured people walking down the aisle in church and the necklace breaking - so I was reluctant to sell them! Just my craziness, I guess. I did take a few lessons - $$$ - about $40 a pop only to see it repeated or in one case, "copied" by another crafter - that really p-hissed me off, that was my original creation after all! See what others have to say, perhaps you will like it.
New find on the jewelry side....
I posted below when asking about Bakelite I thought I had and now looking on the web I find out I have even more, that being cellaloid jewelry and cameos, possibly a Bakelite radio that belonged to my father and some other jewelry. I am so excited because I can hardly wait to see what others would pay for it. So glad I found out from others about not having at yard sale! I would have really sold myself short. BYW, does anyone out there have any of the above mentioned and if so, have you sold or know your price on these particular types of jewelry. Thanks!
Does anyone make beaded jewelry?
I am interested in making beaded jewelry but not sure where to start. Do any of you make beaded jewelry? If so, where do you find the best prices for beads? Do you make jewelry to sell or just for fun? Thanks for the info.
Does anyone sell Lia Sophia jewelry?
Just curious if anyone sells Lia Sophia or how you make out with it moneywise. I just signed up and it seems like a pretty good deal. I hosted a party and then decided to sign on after seeing the amount of commission you could make. I had 6 people at my party and took 4 or 5 outside orders. I think the lady made about $200 off my party, plus I got a bunch of free/discounted jewelry. Is it really that easy?
I have 4 parties booked in January and 1 more yet to schedule. I'm hoping to bring in about $1000 per party and 2 parties a week, so maybe $600 a week. Is this realistic? Anyone else been doing this for a while and can offer any advice?
My DH wears no jewelry whatsover - sm
he also has a big thing with tags and scent too, very sensitive skin, not one shirt of his still has a tag in it. When we were first married he would wear his ring when I forced him too in social situations, but just was not worth the hassle and he is not one to keep quiet about his wife and family, so I have no worries on that score. He really cannot wear it at work either as he puts his hands in high voltage tanks and one guy tried it once with his ring on, almost lost his finger when it arc welded to the tank and burnt him really badly, so that is a good reason not to wear it to work. Also he is rarely anywhere without us, and if so it is usually with guys, no women, and they all know he is married with 2 kids. The other point being even if a man wears a ring he can still cheat! I don't always where my ring either though I do wear it.
Really amazing, isn't it? Guess she loves real jewelry or something.

Beaded jewelry... Most craft stores have supplies.
If you have a local craft store, that's a great place to start. Also, if you Google beading jewelry, you can find video how-to's.
I thought it was fun at first, but I haven't picked it up again. The beads are intricate and I found the major problem was size of the actual jewelry.
It would make great gifts though.
i think the gift card or jewelry. girls at that age are sooo picky. most want $ so they can pick o
;
I've heard of tops and also heard it is a good group.
I disagree. I still have my class ring (class of 1985). It's tucked away in my jewelry...
box. My fingers are too fat to wear it now, but it has sentimental value. Mine was just a metal ring as well and it still looks great.
I gave my class ring to a boyfriend back in the day and it wore it on his pinky. Then he lost it on the beach at the local lake. We ended up breaking up not too long after that and I thought I would never see my ring again. Then one day I'm reading the local paper and there's an add that said "LORI -- did you lose your class ring at city lake? Call... and describe the ring." I called the number and described the ring and it was mine. Thankfully I had had my full name inscribed inside the band of my class ring! The guy that found it was this little old man who had a one of those metal detectors and he spent his retirement days scanning beaches, parks, etc for change and what other treasures he could find. I couldn't thank him enough! He wouldn't take any kind of reward for finding it.
Just thought I'd share my class ring story. I feel that class rings, class keys (Do they still do that?), and yearbooks are such an important part of the high school years, but that's just me.
Just heard
Very sad indeed.
Never heard of it until now....sm
it sounds like something you'd find in the south. I'm not sure if I like the sounds of it or not!
wow, never heard of it, but thanks!
x
I heard, so sad. I liked him.
yep, once heard it said that if you
expect nothing, you are never dissappointed, so I have learned to expect nothing, and in return, I am always surprised, which makes even the smallest of niceities someone does or says much more appreciated by me. We are to be happy givers, actually expected to give until it hurts, and not to expect anything in return, amen.
You have heard exactly what I have
over the years. I have heard so much of this I probably would swat my children out of their seats at the table if I ever heard these gross sounds. I also hate to hear yawning while dictating. Reminds me of the time I used to work outside my regular job and had a physician who was a terrible dictator in the hospital and at his office (this was a group of physicians, otherwise would not just have worked for him) and one day he dictated a letter to his bank about his account and you got it, every word was letter perfect, perfectly understandable. I think most dictators find the job of doing their reports not high on the totem pole. That is why we as transcriptionists have to put up with all this crap noise they send our way. Sneezes, snorts, eating, drawing on a cigarette (yes, years ago that 1 for me), coughing, smacking, chewing, and yes, that occasional bowel movement thing-- my mother would have killed me if I ever did this!! I learned well at her knee, still am very cognizant of others in a family/social setting.
You said if you really WANT to, well heard the
same subject on weight loss from my aunt. A lot of elderly people's appetites wane and now she talks about a person, all you have to do is push away from the table. Hmmm, sounds a lot like what you are saying. If you really want to. Ok, I am trying now- I want to be beautiful, thinner, rich, and so on and so on. Hey, I really want this so I guess it can come true, right? Like I said, lot of people just do not understand. Maybe she has a good friend somewhere that will understand.
From what I have heard,
they have great personalities. I believe that smaller dogs do need to go out more frequently for a longer period, but if you work at home, maybe this won't be such an issue.
That being said, any puppy takes a lot of time and attention, and if that is going to stress you out, say you have kids and a busy life, the puppy stage can be rough. Thank goodness puppies are soooo cute, LOL. My neighbors are working with a puppy, and unfortunately they got it at 6 weeks. They were really bleary-eyed there for a while, and thought we were really smart to get an adult dog.
Make sure you go to a good breeder. This is a good place to start:
http://www.bichon.org/breeders.htm
They are not more expensive than a "backyard" breeder who is out to make a buck. The less responsible breeders tend to give themselves away by using terms to make their line sound special, but usually mean they are outside the breed standard, or breeding for looks over health. Depending on breed, they may use words like "teacup" "giant," or even "hypoallergenic." Bichons may cause allergies for fewer people, but that doesn't help if you or a family member just happen to be allergic. So what out for such buzzwords designed to sell. A good breeder is going to have questions for you about how ready you are to take on a puppy of their breed, and they will also tell you that if at any time, for any reason, you need to get rid of the dog, call them - not a rescue, not a shelter. They will always take their dog back because they really care about the dog.
If you get one, we want to hear all the puppy (or dog) stories. :oD
Never heard of this...
but will go to Lowe's tomorrow and check it out. That might be something that works in conjunction with the other ideas.
you *heard*???? LOL.........
You *heard that AL Gore's documentary had no facts in it*? And I quote you on that.
Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you *hear* - go do your own research for crying out loud!!!
At least Gore CARES!!
Has anyone heard (sm)
how the poison got into the wheat? Last I heard it was a poison that is not used in this country. 
Just heard from my son
they are finally on the bus and on their way home. We live about 1 1/2 hours from Tech. There is where my son plans on going to college. He actucally told me he loved me on the phone.
I heard that
 on the local news - it is utterly unbelievable!
Um, TOM? Never heard of it.
No hits on my abbreviation site, either.
No, have not heard.
Don't remember the 1997 thing either. Well if it worked back then, I would give it a go, but I feel it is a lost battle. I hate the prices where they are. $2.77 for me at the Gas N Go in NJ. $35.00 just the other day to fill her up.
I heard that!
Also have 2 boys and 1 girl - she is the middle child and has been a challenge since she was a baby. Tonight is the PROM! OMG will I be glad when tonight is over! With my son, it was rent a tux, order the corsage take some pictures, have a good time, be careful with my new car.
With my daughter, it is shop for dresses, shop some more, pick one out, have the store hold it, forgot a 50% deposit, go pay in full, wait a month for them to press it, shoes, slip, find a belly button ring that doesn't show quite so much through the fabric of said dress, purse or no purse, order flower for boyfriend AND also corsage for daughter because boyfriend doesn't feel like ordering corsage and his mother won't do it for him, nails, hair, makeup, be careful with my car (boyfriend is 17 and does not have his license).
Did I mention I will be glad when tonight is over. Truly love her to death, but yikes! Talk about high maintenance.
I have heard it's not at all
uncommon for an older child to go back into diapers and back on the bottle when another baby comes along for the same reason - a plea for attention. My husband is only a little older than his sister, and that's what he did.
So your son simply needs more of your time and attention. I hear 4 and 5 are the most fun ages anyway. :oD
I heard that too...sm
Boy, I hope not...that'd be too weird. I won't watch it either if that happens...
I have never heard of her. I just
read on a spoiler thing something about her and was wondering who she was?!
Never heard of that . .
just the Plott, which was just recognized by the club. It is a short-haired beautiful hound. You may be right, as there are unusual breeds, not yet recognized by the clubs. If you ever watch Crufts Dog Show in England you will see some dogs we do not yet recognize in our clubs.
Thanks for this, I have never tried it but heard about it
and now of course never will try it. I never thought of the fumes, probably would have if I had tried it.
Never heard of it. Do
you get them in stores or have to order them?
Tell me more, have not heard about
NM
Well, actually have heard of this before
so maybe just not able to obtain vitals and so therefore declared?
I never heard of
Curvelle. Is it an appetite suppressant?
Anyone heard of this
before. My best friend (a male age 50) began to experience severe headaches two days ago. He has been under a lot of stress. Then about a day and a half ago he came down with flu-like symptoms with violent vomiting. His headache became so bad that he took himself to our local hospital. They ran tests and diagnosed him to have an aneurysm. He was rushed to a big hospital in Chicago via helicopter earlier this evening. After running tests there it was determined that it is not an aneurysm but just a "bleed". The doctor said that it is normal for males between the ages of 46 and 60 to have this occur. Have you ever heard of this ? I am worried sick about him.
I was a fan before anyone had heard of him
did a short-lived Fox series - can't even remember the name of it now - but this may have been accidental. He apparently was having difficulty sleeping and told friends that 2 Ambien was not working for more than 1 hour.
I heard that, too.
You are supposed to keep them in the carton inside the refrigerator instead of in the door b/c the door is not cold enough to be a safe temp.
I have heard it all
As dictated:
The patient states her is unable to keep anything down. 
Thanks - Never heard that - (sm)
Nice lead singer - (woohoo again)
I had heard somewhere
that women only have 2 or 3 hairstyles they look good in anyway. I know - that's about all I've had my whole life (I'm 49). I keep mine above the shoulders becuase I have a long face, and it pulls it down otherwise.
I have heard this too
I sure wish I was middle class.
You may have heard
As you may have heard, the Bush Administration said each of us would get a rebate check to stimulate the economy.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China . If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs, if we purchase a computer it will go to India, if we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, if we purchase a good car it will go to Japan, if we purchase useless junk it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America . The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it at yard sales, since those are the only businesses still in the US
Has anyone heard of this
I work for an ENT doc and he was seeing a patient that had "multiple synechia" in each side of the nose due to putting green onions in his nose. I was just wondering why the patient was doing this?
Thank you. Never heard of that! NM
xx
I have heard enough, too!
I always felt they planned this stunt. They wanted to do something to get their 15 minutes of fame. I feel sorry for the baby.
Oh, you heard that one too!...nm
//
I heard this too
They say it sounds weird but it works.
Here is what I have always heard. sm
If you drink and it changes your personality, you have a problem. Otherwise, if you can drink and your personality stays the same, you don't have a problem. I personally drink 2-3 liquor drinks an evening. In this business, we need something to calm us. Tell your roomie to mind her own business. I think if you were drinking that stuff with your coffee in the very early morning, I might say you have a problem but otherwise drink on!
I heard the same ads
And they were sponsored by our electric company. I figured they wanted us to think they were concerned for us, but didn't want us to save TOO much on our electric bill. So they stuck with suggesting the switch to the fluorescent bulbs and unplugging appliances.
We're better off shutting off lights (and reminding our kids!) and shutting off our computers at night.
