13 Women and Their Necklace

This is the MOST ridiculous thing in the world - these grown women are an embarresment and out to make them and that beaten down town of Ventura famous - absolutely pathetic - especially in this day and age - why not just donate some time to childrens hospital or the like and keep it to yourself without having to be patted on the back to say it nicely - they can't seem to get enough of themselves - its sickening.

this kinda reminds me of the movie {the traveling pants } except this is a real life story. pretty awsome. people in numbers can make a difference. no matter what the reasons for them being together!

This story gives new meaning to life, love and happiness. I think it is wonderful. God Bless them all and Mr. Van Gundy too.

What a way to turn a symbol of exclusiveness into an experience of inclusiveness. They all benefitted in ways unimaginable at the outset. Great story. Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with greed and materialism is sadly missing the whole point of the story.

This is like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants except the object (in this case the necklace) is much more befitting the social status of these women. I can think of many more things that can be done with $15,000 to help someone out. Sounds like a gimmick to me.

These women truley disgust me. $37,000!! I mean comon! It takes a blood diamond necklace with a price tag that big to bring happieness to these women??? This is a tribute to american piggyness and greed. yuck!!

Women are always givers-of their time, themselves and what they earn to others. When they do something for themselves often they are thought of as selfish. This story was so cool because one woman found a way to have something fabulous no only for herself but for several other women. They shared, cared for it and became friends because of it. Out of that friendship they became more giving than they ever could have alone. They were there for each other as well which was a benefit in itself.

Blessed is the influence of one sweet soul to another.

It's a sad but true fact that women often give so much to others at the expense of the needs of others. We are supposed to love others as we love ourselves. Even as they fell in love with the necklace they used it to find more of themselves to give. Shame on those who think it's selfish to find something for our selves. Hurrah to these courageous women who in giving to themselves gave even more to others

I think it is sad that these women had to find jewelry to make them happy... but everyone is different
