Nugget would be good, but not much different than "gemgirl" if you're out to NOT attract attention to your job... What about: SPRKLYS (sparklies) or GMGRLPA?

I'd say "NO way!!!"...why do they think it's a Safety Issue?? Nugget would NOT be happy with any other Lic plate!!
I like your thinking Gem of living in the Vault...that's where I'd want to be. My Screan Name on Yahoo is "jwlsngold"...we think alike!!

Ohhh i like you screen name, great minds!!!
I'm not sure what I will do for the moment i think i will leave it alone. Because so far I have no warm fuzzies of this company, except for bling of course, but not impressed with anything else but a paycheck. I will continue to look and leave my plate. I hope I'm wrong about this company but so far- not impressed!

What if you changed your plate to "BRINKS"? What would people think then?

Keep the plate- get a gun.

You are gemgirl! You are gemgirl! You are gemgirl!

I looked for a diamond smiley but didn't see any good ones. I was hoping to find a girly one that had a big blingin' diamond... high expectations... but I'm sure one exists. So just know that I am sending you an imaginary girly smiley with a big animated blingin' diamond that's bigger than her head.

Take care and uh... be safe?

Hello everyone!

I know this isn't a velociraptor, but I thought y'all would appreciate it anyway (this is from Vernal Utah, Dinosaur Capital, USA)

UHOH- where the hell did you find a Velociraptor head? Was it in one of your walls? Is the moral of the story... when it came right down to the battle around the bunkbeds... your training paid off and the Velociraptor didn't make it?

Always love the roller pimp and I like that dino with the hat.

Hey Gem- I've got my car blinged out with chrome wheels and they are seriously blingin'... like a proportionately cut diamond! It's what I call my "bling baby"! Still think you should keep gemgirl anyway... but I've thought about "blingbby".

Out on a drive the other day and getting ready to get on the highway... redneck hicks in the pickup decide that they're going to cut in front of me (I guess 'cause they're bigger? Maybe 'cause they're redneck hicks? ) So there goes my fun corner... the entrance ramp. Poo poo I have to be in 2nd gear. They keep looking back at me... surely all impressed that they cut me off. Their truck is bogging down and I'm just thinking "wait until it opens up b*tches!". So they start to merge and I can hear that they're stomping on it. Me? Pop it into 3rd and as I'm flying past at an undisclosed speed (Italian Tune Up... while they're still merging)... I have time to give them a big "L" sign (for "love" of course) before they even realized that I wasn't behind them anymore. I love being all pink and girly and then handing some guy his manhood! Makes me giggle... especially when there's pink troll hair flying in the wind. (Ok... so maybe that is mean. )

morning everyone! just reading and then running....

OLA a big for blowing past those rednecks!!!!

back when i bought nugget i has also gotten some car decals for the back seat head rests, diamonds... good thing i didn't put them on YET... I will keep the gemgirl plate for now, and see what happens, as i said in the beginning when i started working for this company, i was not too happy with the company itself so i will just hang tight until i find another job and then i will still have my plate and will install my diamonds!!!

Happy friday everyone, oh One full week of working and today on the way home it is supposed to be topless weather, so that will be me!!!

Yah!! Woooo Hoooo!! This just made my Friday a definite Happy Friday!!!

It has been an extrememly difficult week on many fronts so I am sooo glad that it is now 'the weekend', (except I am working on Sunday,, boo hoo) but on two of my most fave people so it is all good.

Gem,, congrats to have survied a full week in your new endeavor.
I will let you knmow soon about April 11th,, looks like we have to ride in a convertible,,,, maybe we can hitch a ride with "youse guys"?? If not and if you are bringing the pooch Holly says we would be allowed to bring up the rear in our,,,,*cough cough* Clubbie.......

The buddies that got me started on the velociraptor w/the bunkbeds thing found it and sent it to me. Hilarious!

OH, I AM SO GLAD ITS FRIDAY. SOOOOOOO GLAD. Except I have a tummy ache. But still SO glad it's Friday - it's been a helluva week for me.

Talk to you later Freebies!
