Before I forget

i have some questions

1) i have an opal ring. the gold needs cleaning and i am unsure how to do it. i don't want to ruin the opal. anyone, any suggestions?

2) crap see? i forgot already. i think the next one is about work out DVDS. i don't have a gym membership and my fat ass is gettin fatter. i'm slackin i'll admit it. i was looking for kickboxing but i haven't seen any thing that jumped out at me. any suggestions?

hmm something else i know i'm forgetting. oo well i just plum forgot. but i wanted to get the gold cleaning question in there.

o yea probably on computers. i want a laptop/notebook. looking at Dell's, but it would be nicer to have the Apple. i will be dipping into my savings but it will be worth it, especially if i get one that will last a while. of course i know technology gets outdated at a rapid pace...i plan on using it mostly for photo/graphic work, and internet of course! well that's if i can afford the service when i'm unemployed and become a full time student. any suggestions?

Thanks y'all! Much appreciated!
