Don't say I didn't offer.

I just saw that Adidas bought Reebok. Huh.

Hey -- how do people store their jewelry? I'm having a hell of a time keeping stuff untangled, and I have the whole top of a lingerie chest where they can roam free, or nest in shot glasses or small platters.

threadsuck and search in Word.

I'n now thinking that grep (a Unix utility) on the threadsucked file would be faster, as it doesn't have to load the whole thing into memory at once.

I bought a plastic thing at the hardware store with a bunch of little places to put things, which works great and was really cheap. I then promptly stopped wearing jewelry again.

The best system I've ever seen was by my friend Fahamisha who is a jewlery maker. She had a pegboard rectangle that she painted black on her wall with small hooks and all of her necklaces were on the hooks. Earrings were kept on a smaller pegboard, but with the posts/earring going through the holes. Rings were in a box. Bracelets? I can't remember where.

I don't have one of these, but I think they're neat. Jewelry armoire

I keep my jewelry from tangling by not having m,uch jewelry so it can all stay in it's original boxes.

Yeah, I have an armoire kind of like that one, along with an earring holder thingie so I don't have to search for matching pairs in a drawer.

Okay, the pegboard and hooks is cool. I think the key to saving most of my necklaces is to hang them on hooks.

I decided this morning that I have more necklaces I like than earrings. And I only have the one neck, and the 7 holes pierced in my ears. I'm not sure when that transition happened.

Rainier cherries! I remembered them today! I still want chocolate, but these'll do.

Thanks, Kat.

I have a rectangle of deep burgandy velvet pinned to the wall that I hang my earrings on. I found a wrought iron coathook thingy (multiple hooks) with lots of curlicues on the main panel, and I hang my necklaces all over that. It's kind of full now, though.

My question regarding pegboard, is what do you do with hoop earrings? And little ones? My earrings are just in a box.

Oh my, grep is fast. It can search 10,000 posts (5,446,223 bytes) pretty much instantaneously.

Here is the results from just a single thread (Natter 36):

cat 1487
dog 195
kitten 108
penguin 28
puppy 18
duck 16

(note that this includes taglines)

I bet it'd just take a few seconds to search half a million posts....
