LOL - I just told my husband that I named my bike Hope and he laughed and said "is that because you hope it will help you lose weight." Isn't he funny?

You might want to rethink that name. The Hope Diamond is supposedly cursed.

Yikes, I should have read the story first. Okay, I will rethink the name. LOL. It is not set in stone yet.

Congratulations on your new bike! Enjoy!
When DD was born, DH asked if we should exchange gifts (those "push presents" some people do; gross words, I know) and I said I'd rather have a deposit in my bike fund.

The "Hope Diamond Curse" was mostly a marketing tool, the rest an urban legend, though the last private owner did have some bad things happen in her (long) life. (Then again, don't we all?)
mhami, I'm so glad you posted this thread!! I really have been wondering what to do with that piece of jewelry I will never wear again, and my heart is lighter now, knowing that I can get at least something I value out of it!!
