I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.

I get more robo calls than friend calls. However, I just found a way to silence (the ring for) any calls that aren't in my contact list and my phone life has improved 100%.
ReplyI also hate having to speak w/ a robot before I get a human. Feels like bridge trolls blocking my passage. They can't understand why I'm calling but still won't put me through!
ReplyAll the time. And spam. And someone trying to trick me into giving them money.
ReplyI get so many thar I only answer my phone if I know who's calling.
ReplyOh my, so many I no longer answer. My call block has over 450 numbers and I still get dozens a day!
ReplyThey are many, and I let my voice mail answer. I've also found that including my professional title in the greeting usually evokes an immediate disconnect and, over time, fewer calls.
ReplyI answer all calls if I can, even if I don't recognize the number, just in case a family member had to use another person's phone. I put the number of robos in my contact list as Spam and not answer it next time. If I have time, I will stay on the line and say, "Take my number off your call list."
ReplyThey are constant. Even though I do not answer them I have to go clear out "messages" with no content.
