I’m wondering who the hell thinks JCPenney is a great place to shop for jewelry. lol. No thanks, if I want a cheap piece of tacky jewelry I can probably get it for myself, at least then I wouldn’t be obligated to actually wear it if I didn’t like it. Not that I expect jewelry for Valentine’s or any other day. I agree with whoever said they like a nice little note or something. It really is only the thought that counts (unless that thought involves crappy JCP jewelry 😃 ). ---

> [@Ferret Herder](#): > > The Jared (“The Galleria of Jewelry”) commercials are pissing off both me and my husband. There are a couple of them out there with the same harridan wife and hen-pecked husband. The wife goes around checking out all the jewelry on other women, who say “He went to Jared!”, and the smarmy-looking husbands grin. The bitchy wife gets more and more annoyed as she sees more jewelry, finally returning to glare at her husband for failing to please her with gifts of jewelry from Jared. I have to chime in too - I loathe this commercial. What a jealous bitch! ---

Yeah, I hate those jewelry ads. “Yes, all women will sleep with you if you give them something expensive and sparkly!” The Valentine’s day teddy bears are just as bad–“Women will sleep with you if you buy them a useless and expensive teddy bear!” Yes, because my affection is tied to how much you spend on me. Bleargh. We don’t do Valentine’s day–we do our first date anniversary at the end of the month. I don’t have sparklies, but my husband is excellent at buying me presents I really love (OED, baby!). I try, but he doesn’t want much. ---

I was looking at the website for the Vermont Teddy Bear Company, just because I like stuffed animals. Those bears start at around fifty bucks! For goddamned teddy bear? Jesus! ---

No thanks, if I want a cheap piece of tacky jewelry I can probably get it for myself, at least then I wouldn’t be obligated to actually wear it if I didn’t like it. I have to agree. The selection is comprised mainly of diamond chips and inferior colored stones in weak-pronged settings. It’s crap, if you want to get blunt with it. Over-priced crap foisted on a demographic which apparently doesn’t know any better, that seems to confuse price with quality. ---

Well someone has to buy jewelry that can be compared unfavorably to Jared, who started a jewelry store after he lost all that weight eating fast food.
