The "I CALL FIRST DIBS ON...Thread

[Sarahbelle]

Has anyone called dibs on GG's recent emerald/pink halo acquisition (GG had I known it was up for grabs, I would have wrestled you for it!)? If not, DIBS.

I think if I'd known too, we could have gotten into a three-way-all-girl-mudwrestling showdown. (Just think, we could charge admission, and use the funds to buy YET MORE sparklies to fight over!)

OK...Do you think this will work?  It seems a tad more reasonable than selling a kidney (which I briefly considered when I saw the 6 ct brownish yellow.)

NNNOOOO, it's mine! *wrestles*

OH Robin, you should see the oval sapphire he just got in! I am still kicking myself for not getting a picture of it! I think I was in awe and drooling! It is not as big as the sapphire CH got but the blue is just the same! The color and clarity is something to marvel at!

UUUUTTT OOOOHHH!!!  ROOOOBBBIINNN!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see it!

Not bl**dy fair!!!  Man, I am way too slow!  I call dibs on the sapphire asscher earrings David currently has in stock.  Basically, none of you are allowed to buy them until I have sold a kidney/won the lottery/taken up a new career that is legal here in Holland and Germany and may pay highly for certain 'specialties'...............

Help a poor canine make sense of something. I grok DIBS. But not its fullness. What on Earth does it stand for?

(pardon me for waxing lyrical there; I have just re-read Stranger in a Strange Land, by R A Heinlein)

I have found some authenticated definitions here and some unverified ones here, but apart from "Disputing of Irrational BeliefS" - which I suppose makes sense, as in "I dispute that [insert random piece of jewellery] belongs to you, since it clearly belongs to me for all eternity" followed by random growling, hissing and spitting sounds - none that matches.

Anyway, I call first DIBS - whatever it may be - on a certain three-Asscher ring David knows.

[oldmancoyote]

Oh, and on these.

[ah2bqat]

Too many pieces, not enough time to find them all!

[saqsay1]

well if no one else has thought of it.... i call first dibs on cherrypies sam spade emerald ballerina ring.... she swiped it from right under my nose.......

[webmistress]

Hmmm. I want the yellow pear on the site now. I am just now confessing to a love affair with this diamond. It wants me. I can tell.

[Sparkly-OCD]

OH!  I agree WM!  She is definitely heart pounding and drool worthy!  

[GracefulLion]

Wait!! No need to call dibs...we have another pair of sapphires right here!

I am so flattered that my earrings reignited this thread, but truly, these will not leave me until they head to a granddaughter of mine (a good 40 or 50 years from now).  They have a special meaning to me, so not going to part with them otherwise. 

This pair of loose cushions could make an identical set though!

And I looooove that pear!!!

[saqsay1]

save your drool ladies............ i believe the pear mentioned above is mine 

[Sparkly-OCD]

Wait!...Saqsay1, are you saying that you OWN R2436?

[annie1]

save your drool ladies............ i believe the pear mentioned above is mine 

Back the train up!  Do you have something to share with us, saqsay?   

[saqsay1]

[webmistress]

Whaaaaaat? You took MY pear! It was secretly mine.

OK, I'm over it since it's going to someone in the family. What are you doing with it? Details, details!

[saqsay1]

well........ i guess i spilled the beans. yes *sigh* i forced myself to buy it. it was torture i tell you........... D  practically begged me to take it off his hands................ok, so i am lying. i just couldn't help myself. i have been wanting a FY 2+ct forever................. D is going to make me a ring for it.  something like R2874 but in a pear shape and without the thingies on either side. sort of a princess diana style. i want glam and glitz. a true statement piece.  now the waiting will be the real torture.
