I am sharing this for a friend of mine guys. Ive known His significant other for about 20 years or so now, Maybe a little less. If you guys have friends in the Sacramento / Folsom area it would be helpful. They are very worried and the Folsom PD is working on it as well. They are worried she may have fallen in with a bad crowd, Gang and drugs may be involved at this point. I usually don't ask people to share this stuff but this is hitting kinda close to home. Her father lives in Stockton and that does not make working on this any easier. The kid pulled the run away and hide card and they are worried. I got the information for the Folsom PD to help them find her, I also put more time on the state issued cell phone that they have because they can't afford a regular one due to money problems. If you guys can help, even if it is just a re-share of this information it would be really helpful. Thanks guys. Loosing track of a family member specially at this time of year is really rough. Any help at all would be appreciated.  Thanks guys.

I don't usually do the birthday thing but good golly... You are such a great inspiration and I treasure being able to read your stories and poetry and the little snippets about your life and family from time to time. There are few people, very few, whom I admire as much as you. I hope you have a spectacular birthday and a happy new year.

If you seem to be “getting everything you want,” you should probably examine whether you’re getting it at someone’s expense, or whether you’re just constantly, in small ways, making the world worse.

The author uses "Life hacking" in the headline when she means "Social engineering," but there's a lot of great information and perspective in this article.

I wish you a very merry Christmas. I missed the op and am glad you re-posted the story about your wife. I wish that I'd remember to go look at your stream more often. Things like that are just so inspiring and fill my heart with joy. I hope you and your family are showered with health wealth and much happiness, now and always.

The stuff they make is awesome. They made my wife's wedding jewelry and customized it exactly to her taste. The piece was not only perfect and by all accounts stunning but you could actually feel the love that went into making it.
They've made photography related items and owl things. They do new age stuff that gives you hope for the future. I meant to say that it's not just trinkets that the do. It's things you will treasure always.
I've got other jewelers in my circles. They do some nice stuff. As much as I love them I will asked look to Colin and Corey first for things fit myself our for presents. You should too.
Go. Look. Buy. Love. And please share them in your circles. You'll be glad you did.

Guys, I need help. Life just got damned tricky, and although the rent is paid and food is on the table, I just had to scale down/cancel holiday gifts for all five of my proximate kids --- and having an almost ten year old tell me, without prompting, that "It's all right, Grandma Corey, I can go to Disneyland some other year. We love you." pretty much broke me in half.

Like my stuff? I can still fill custom orders until the 20th. Choose a color scheme, a semi-precious gemstone (we have fluorite, amethyst, tiger eye, green, blue and red aventurine, onyx and obsidian, half a dozen shades of quartz, sodalite, lapis and more), or fancy czech glass. Specify subdued, bold, classic, modern... and then trust me. If you don't like the result, we keep it to sell via Etsy and try again. 

A full set -- earrings, bracelet and necklace -- can be made for $50. I think I can get testimonials, but let me be clear... out of 75-100 or so orders/gifts this year, only one person has bought only one of my pieces. And he's a very  recent client who happily paid three figures for a statement necklace.

People seem to be happy with the quality. These are sturdy, well made and designed to be passed down through the years. I can't afford sterling silver fittings unless you pay in advance, but silver and gold plated fittings, those we have.

Artists, EMTs, nurses, housekeepers, programmers, crafters -- they all own and wear a Fisk-Gerbode original, or three. Care to join their ranks?

It'd be a huge help.

Pre-made pieces can be found at our Etsy shop, below. GPLUROLLS is our coupon code for 25% off.
