Thanks BB  :-*

edited because I am too dumb to push the right buttons  :P

Oh - this is weird - I posted as you  :o

[Edit by Bikerbraid: NOTE:  Gabi managed to edit my original post so the statements above do not reflect Bikerbraid's comments, but instead are Gabi's response to Bikerbraid.  I'm not sure how to handle this ruling, we may have to demote Gabi back to Emerald for a bit to make sure she is truely worthy of her diamond status.  But in our generousity here, I guess we'll let her stay in the Diamond club.  She adds character to our special group!]

LOL  BB - I have no idea what I did to your post.  But can I have it back *waaaaaaaaaaaa*

Obviously the first diamond is more fitting tonight LOL ...g

I will testify to the fact that what BB originally said is quite different of what we can see now! I kind of liked both your diamonds gabi! And you did have your very own true diamond, quite different -as is fitting- from what we all get  :P ;D ;D
Oh well I wonder where did they go??  ;D ::)

Good goin' Gabi!  :P  You destroyed your diamond.  What in the heck am I gonna do with you??

OK, here we go again, as posted in the ORIGINAL post (I'm leaving that one just to remind you how powerful you can be as a moderator!  ;D )

Here's your own diamond in the rough.

Congrats!!! :)
A party sounds good. Do we have to be diamond to join? I wonder what I'll wear?  ;)
Meg

:-[ ::) ;D :-*

Thank you for giving me back my rocks  ;D and letting me keep my sparkle status.

E'Gads - that was embarrassing ...g

We'd wear diamonds, of course. ;D

Maybe this should be a double diamond party and join the riotous party going on for Greek_Lady.  Double the fun! Besides there's already chocolate and music over there, and drinks, and hair minions, and bicycle races.

hmmmm....we need to add some distinctly gabi themes to it........  an campfire using all those diamonds in the rough, with s'mores  
and  diamond hairsticks for everyone  :o

Party favors - yes!  LL Hairsticks.

A party for both Gabi and Greek_Lady could double our fun! ;D

Hmmm, campfires...I'll bring the mallows 4 s'mores if someone will bring the extra chocolate...half to make s'mores and the other half to eat while we make them.  ;)
And I can play campfire songs on my violin...does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm already bringing chocolate - I'll bring enough for munching while making the s'mores.  (I'll also bring a few bottles of wine to go with the chocolate  :-*)

As for songs - my fav is Joy to the World! (aka, Three Dog Night's Jeremiah was a Bullfrog

Ohhhh this is going to be a grand par-tay!! Music, wine, lovely longhaired goddesses. Who was it who said "a loaf of bread, a jug of wine, chocolate, campfires, s'mores, and thou"? ;D

There is one rogue who must find create an epic tale to tell during this ritual. A tale of adventure and daring-do to seek the perfect hair. ;D

ARRRRRRgh -

SAKINA !!!!

I accidentally deleted your post - but wait - don't fire me yet I figured out what happened, both here and on my infamous "posting as bikerbraid" fiasco.

I obviously need to wear my glasses when I'm on here because when trying to hit "quote" I was hitting "modify".  pssst...I really don't see very well  :-[

So pretty please Sakina - could you repost your musical suggestion.  I'll never tell that you wanted to include at least three rounds of cumbyya  ;D

Gabi, gabi, gabi  :P  what are we going to do with you??  ::)

Remember, the "quote" function is the left most icon.  I can't read the label either, but just know that is where it it is.  We could have a contest for who has the worst eye-sight - I've been wearing bi-focals since I was 25!

As for this PARTY you and Greek Lady have going....... I hope it will be a great one - I'm afraid I will probably have to miss most of it.  My ticker is showing that I have just 4 days until my bike trip, and I doubt you will all last until I return. (THAT would be some party!)  Hope everyone has a wonderful time - I've shipped my chocolates and wine to gabi - hopefully she will share it with all of you.  ;D

Well, if this shingdig has wound down when you get back, we'll just have to have another for your return!! ;D

Meg

OK, here I go again...

My vote is for Sloop John B. and Ode to Joy!

I'll pass on the Kumbaya (spelling?), thanks very much.
