Whether you're Christian, Budhist, Muslim, Atheist, etc., what's the purpose of berating and disrespecting others for their belief? When a person of one faith violently and/or verbally disrepects another for his faith, isn't that an insult to your own belief?

Right now, I'm thinking of having our nails done, facials, a couple of good movies and good food (and drink).

I'm sure 4 items is enough, but what activities would you consider just for us girls (grown girls with jobs, mortgages and stress) for a fun relaxing, pressure-free afternoon?

A friend of mine went to NY and came back with some beads that she later strung into a necklace and earrings. She later claimed they were Swarovski after seeing some crystal I purchased. So I was wondering do they sell them individually like that. I didn't think they did?

Finally going to NY for my birthday. Just a quick weekend trip. I know there are tons of restaurants. It sure would be helpful if someone gave me some names to get started -- all price ranges.

I'll be in the Time Square area.
