Well, when I find the SoJ's, I'll do just that. I've never seen one
believe it or not. I suspect I'm looking for something yellow? or
gold? Haven't a clue. I'm just waiting for a ring that says Stone of
Jordan. Now, tell me I'm on the wrong track. I wouldn't be a bit
surprised!!

Not a problem. This is a learning experience for me. If I can't take
advice, I shouldn't be here, lol. So, I'll set out now to find some of
the things you've mentioned and acquire some others. In the meantime,
I'll continue my game. FWIW, I really DO appreciate your advice. Not
that I'm trying to copy your guy or anything, he he, just learning along
the way is all.
Thanks muchly,
Diane
