Does anyone know of a site that explains how to read American appraisals (A.G.S) on a diamond ring? I "googled" and am confused at all the different sites with different information about reading an appraisal. (I have 3 appraisals, each for the same ring. One made in the 70's, one in the 80's, and one in the 90's). There are numbers for each category (cut,color, clarity). However, I can't seem to find a site that explains this appraisal (number system). I know I can call the jeweler who appraised the ring, but that will have to wait until Monday. thanks for any help in advance.

Julieboo: Cooking911.com has this information on their recipe for Crackling Candy or Caramel Apples: Choose the reddest small apples available in your area. McIntosh, Spartan and Cortland apples are excellent. Nickovtyme: I don't believe it's that No one cares, since the song states "I don't care", surely there is someone out there that does. Abby7: Here's the information you're looking for: Diamond Grading: The 4 C's Dictionary of Diamond Terms Both are located on this website: Gallery Voltaire Hope these help.

Thank you so much Draheid. Actually, I found that site (and others). That's when my confusion started. These appraisals I have for the ring are graded in numbers NOT letters like the grading on those sites are graded. Also, the appraisal is A.G.S. and that site is GSI. I think, since the original appraisal on the ring (1971), appraisals have changed (? that doesn't even make sense to me as I type it :>) ). So, I'm confused. I can't find an appraisal with numbers. (I don't think, for instance, 1 would equal A on that grading system). The same jeweler did the appraisal (all 3.. 10 years apart...so the original appraisal being over 30 years ago). A reputable jeweler. I'll have to make a long distance call on Monday to find out. Odd. ETA: a search for AGS didn't help

Abby7: You may want to look over THIS FAQ (click on 'Grading' at the top) found on the AGS Laboratories website. This is the lab behind the American Gem Society Hope this helps.

That'll work Jmm!!! Thanks! My son's school is apparently afraid of Halloween. So the kids can dress up, but only as a storybook type character--no ghosts, witches, etc. We already have his costume (gorilla)....

On a serious note... my daughters sing it all the time... Its: Two little monkeys, jumping on the bed... one fell offf and broke her head... momma called the doctors and the doctors said.. no more Monkeys....jumping on the bed." Not trying to contradict Jmm...but thats the way I know it... Also. there's: Two little monkeys swinging in a tree.. teasing mister alligator can't catch me.. Along comes mister alligator Jaws open wide! And snap! A monkey inside..((When you do this part of it...the children should open their arms up wide and then slam them close as the Snap happens)) One little monkey...swinging through the trees... Teasing mister alligator, can't catch me... Along comes mister alligator...jaws open wide! and SNAP! A monkey inside.. No little monkeys swinging in the trees only mister alligator...smiling at me...((At this point, the teacher takes her fingers and spreads her mouth in a smile))

How do you cook potatoes? The little red ones? (I am NOT much of a cook so do not laugh!) I am serious, do I just boil them? If so, for how long? Should I add anything to the water? Thnaks!!!

OK JUlie, I take a pot, put cold water, throw in the potatoes that I have washed (I just bought a bunch of the tiny purple potatoes btw), then set the water to boil, once the potatoes are soft (stick a fork in them to determine if they are done) Drain the water, I add butter, and chopped fresh parsley, if you dont have fresh parsley, then forget it... I've also taken those tiny potatoes, esp the Yukon gold ones, and quartered them, dipped them in melted butter (tossed?) and then put them on aluminum foil, and either throw them on the grill, or put them in the toaster oven at 375... Also when roasting said potatoes, you can grate parmesean cheese over the top... yum... or when you melt the butter, you can throw some garlic in that butter and toss the potatoes in the garlic butter... I'm hungry again!!
