Dude, let them hate all they freakin want to because what I have learned from the bullies I had is that they ALWAYS hate what they don't have. And apparently you have something they want but they can't have, so they will hate you for it. My advice, you keep doing you and let them hate.

^^^This, and I know it seems like a LONG time before you get to college, but then you will be with people you have more in commom with. I hated high school...most of the kids were...not rich, but quite comfortable, and we were poor. I was focused on academics where most were focused on their social status. I was good at music....most of the kids were into sports. I had nothing in common with them, and they made sure I knew it. But in college, I was a music major. The majority of my classes were music classes and I had the same people in all my classes. Sure there were a few I didn't hang out with, but there was only one who I actually didn't like because she was a diva and was awful to everyone she deemed beneath her. Only one.
You will find your niche...if not in high school, then after. And anyone who hates on you isn't worth your notice. If they won't take the time to get to know you and find out what's great about you, that's their loss. I know it's hard in the moment, but just hold on. It's not going to last forever.

It's done! My custom engagement ring is complete and gorgeous!! The jeweler however did something that he didn't consult me with first and that was change the color of the band to yellow gold instead of having the whole thing white, BUT I am glad he did that. It not only gives the ring a vintage touch (which I love), but also made the center stone pop.

What do you guys think?

Before:

(sorry for the big pic)

After:

In different lighting:

Yay! I bet it's a relief to have it back. I always feel naked if I forget to put mine back on when I get out of the shower. Weird that the jeweler didn't tell you he was making the change, but I'm glad you like it anyway!!

 

[Songbird76]

Ha!! This is what I thought of, too!!

Our first computer was from Radio Shack too. My dad bought it and set it up in the basement. He kept it secret for a couple weeks, turns out he was playing games on it and didn't want to share it right away.

Ours was a Tandy 1000.

Does anyone here have a convection toaster oven? I am looking into getting one, and there are so many to choose from. It seems that Breville gets the highest reviews. They have one that is a combo convection toaster and an airfryer and a dehydrator all in one. I would love that but it is $400 and a monster in size.

That's the one I want! I have a B&D that I got as a gift 3 or 4 years ago that's big enough to do a Perdue oven stuffer but just big enough. Considering what it cost we got it's money's worth out of it a year ago. It replaced the Wolfgang Puck that I got almost 10 years out of.

Either the water in that creek is receding, or that car is rising. Previous pictures made it look more like it was sinking lower, but this image looks a bit different.

That may be the reason why they haven't taken it out yet. If the water level lowers it will make removing it much easier and might not require scuba gear.
