Birthstone Backups

Today there is standardized list of birthstones, those gemstones were selected in 1912. Birthstones can be a great gift with special significance for loved ones or they can be used to represent the birth of a new baby. However, one thing we are consistently hearing clients say is “my birthstone just isn’t my color” or “I wish my children had more complementary birthstones.” You may be reading thinking to yourself yup this is me I hate my birthstone. You are not alone.

Luckily there is more than one way to bake a cake. Birthstones have been given for thousands of years long before our 12 month traditional calendar was in use. Birthstones were once based off of your zodiac sign. This is excellent news if you are turned off

    American Author Zane Gray once stated “I hate birthdays.” Perhaps he said this because he has had a bad experience with birthdays. Maybe he simply doesn’t like celebrating something as frivolous as a birthday. Personally, I concur with Mr. Gray’s statement, I too, hate birthdays. Even though the vast majority of the population enjoy their birthday and most likely consider it their favorite holiday, birthdays do not appeal to me however because of, my past natal day experiences, the annoyance of the annual overhyped celebrations, and my fear of being disappointed again.…

    As I was saying, in the book The Giver, Jonas’s society celebrates birthdays much differently than our society does. For example, in Jonas’s society every member celebrates his/her birthday on the same day on December. No matter what month you were born in. Jonas reflects, “I could remember the Decembers back to when I had become, well, probably a Four.” To avoid jealousy, they have group birthdays. These are not considered to be birthdays, but ceremonies. In my society, every ones birthdays are different. Some of us are born on the same day, which means we have the same birthday. For example, if you’re born on August 28, 2001, your next birthday is not until August 28, 2002; a year later.…

    Mortality is something all humans must come to terms with. Many people come to terms with their own mortality by experiencing the loss of people they care about. Throughout history, many cultures have handled death and mourning for a loved one differently. Some say funerals aren’t really for the dead but instead they exist as a part of the healing process for the living. This seems to ring true because the way someone memorializes the loss of someone that was near and dear to them, may be an attempt for them to remember and honor that person while healing themselves.…

    Most people think of pie as the all American dessert. When you think of baseball and moms, a pie goes right along with it. The cake is known for celebrations though. When you have a birthday or a graduation party, you don’t have pie, you have a birthday or graduation cake. Also, you don’t blow the candles out on a pie for your birthday. But the fall back to cake is that is a celebratory tradition. When you go to a diner you can get a slice of pie but rarely a piece of cake. Cake is saved for those special occasions such as weddings.…

    The bride and groom figures “stands on/a thin ring” (line 11), which suggests instability since it is like standing on thin ice. This thin ring is on top of a “much/less thin very much more/big & kinder of ring” (lines 11-13), making it more prone to breaking. However, the third and bottom ring of the cake is “much more than very much/biggest & thickest & kindest” (lines 15-16). This bottom ring is the foundation of the whole cake, which is why it is the thickest and biggest of all rings. Looking at the cake as a whole, the first two rings are the most unstable ones due to their thinness but they are both supported by the large size of the last ring, which serves as the foundation. The last stanza states that “everything is protected by/cellophane against anything” (Lines 18-19). Cellophane is a thin, transparent sheet made of regenerated cellulose. It has a low permeability to air, oils, greases, bacteria and water. Since the cake is protected by cellulose, it can be inferred that the cake is clean and fresh. However, since the cake a metaphor for marriage, the cellulose prevents anything from getting in and…
