I have tried that. Future Mrs. Velo didn't return the jewelry gifts I gave her, but universally does since becoming Mrs. Velo and chastizes me for spending on it.Jewelry almost always works for me.

You didn't mention having anything like this so there is still hope for PapaLew!That wouldn't work for me. I don't wear necklaces, watches, or bracelets. I used to wear earrings but got out of the habit and now one of the holes has closed over; I've been thinking about going down to the Heroic Ink and getting them re-pierced, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.
As for rings - I wear the same five, all the time. They rarely come off. They're generational - right hand, pinkie is a garnet (my birthstone), ring finger is a blue topaz (my grandmother's birthstone ring passed down to me). Left hand, pinkie is an amethyst (my mother's birthstone ring also passed down to me), ring finger is wedding ring (natch!), and middle finger is my mother's ring, given to me by our kids about 15 years ago. It has each of their birthstones in the shape of a heart. I chose the middle finger deliberately - that way when they annoy me I can ask them if they want to see my mother's ring.
The point of that explanation is that all of them are precious to me, and represent my family and my life, so I don't switch them out with others.
So you can see why buying jewelry is a bust for PapaLew!
We used some on one of our projects and I can vouch for it being ridiculously expensive. But it does look pretty darn cool.
When the trappers were first on Madeline Island (in Lake Superior, where I deer hunt), they cut down hemlock trees and stripped the bark because it was so high in tannic acid. They threw the logs in the lake. (!!!!!!)
Later, when logging activity began on the Apostles, loggers discovered the old hemlock logs lying in shallow water. The cold water of the lake had preserved them well, and so the logs got reclaimed and used.
Lumber from old growth forests is vastly different from what we use today. As @BoxsterCy stated earlier, much of that old lumber is being reclaimed and reused today.

I just went on line to "How do you pronounce" and they went with the coke sound.
Did she warn you about the baby peeing when you go to change their diaper? I think it has something to do with the cool air hitting their genitals, but I can guarantee you, it'll happen.
I wear no jewelry, I mean none. Not even a Prince Albert. Thought about tattooing a wedding ring, but most I’ve seen are gawdy. I have/had a basic golden band. If I could get something that was decent I’d do that.
When they are babies it is never too early to start training the boys to keep it covered. Flop a diaper over it even when just taking a second to grab something. The golden fountain is funny but a mite messy.
Since it is sand, just break an hourglass in half and use one half as your funnel. You will then also know exactly how long it takes to fill it.
If you are in a hurry use half of an egg timer as your funnel.
Oh no! An hourglass is technology that is too advanced for @jcyclonee , Luddite Government Employee.
Especially noticeable with boys. Also, bath time is great for generating the fountain of youth.
Wrong. Here's approximately the same jewelry ensemble that BCC wore on old Dana House.
I peed right in my aunt's eye when she was about 8 yo, while my mom was bathing me. I was there but don't remember it.Especially noticeable with boys. Also, bath time is great for generating the fountain of youth.
