The year - 1985
I remember it well.
It was the year I brought home Octavia Oyster.
Comes 1986 - My first fine pearl purchase.
Why, suddenly, did I have to "shell" out major money for pearls?
It was her fault! All her fault -- not mine!!!![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Muah hah ha!!! (You wondered where I got that from)
