Platinum Princess
I’m this bleeding-heart, peace-nik, love junkie, people-pleasing empath. I could never go shrieking with joy into battle on a half-wild horse, my sword raised, my hair flying behind me, yelling “Take me on, I dare you!”
Also I’m terrified of small insects. And pain on the level of a hangnail is at the top of my tolerance level.
Am I doomed to be a wimp?
Aren’t there some warrior type things that Xena and Gabrielle do that I could do, that don’t involve mayhem, head-bashing, networking with the gods, and running around in the lime-tick infested out-of-doors?
So I’m going over the Xena episodes looking for ways to be a warrior given my petite and delicate stature and given that I never made it through Intro to Karate, even though I was the only adult in a class of 7-year olds.
Here’s what I found:
You can legally be called a Warrior Princess if you help others in an emergency. Precedent is set in Is There a Doctor In the House? (Season 1), where Xena channels all her zealousness, compassion, and leadership skills, to set-up a hospital of sorts and save lots of lives.
You can be a Warrior if you do things for love and joy, even if these things don’t involve battles. The proof: A Solstice Carol (Season 2), where Xena and Gabrielle bring the spirit of good will to a miserly king.
In Season 2′s Destiny, we find that you can be a Warrior if you can find a passion in your life; a reason to live; energy for your days and nights. Doesn’t have to be by the sword, although Xena’s destiny was. The point here is, you can be a Warrior if you’re a civil rights attorney, an animal rights activist, a frenzied composer, a matchmaker, a florist, or a Red Cross worker.
Doing the relationship dance can be very warrior-like. Xena and Gabby do it in A Comedy of Eros (Season 2), and throughout the series. You can be a warrior if you’re a leader. Xena was a leader, but you could be the heart of a family; a corporate CEO with a conscience and ideals; a political crusader like JFK and RFK; a warrior for others, like Dr. Martin Luther King; a warrior for bloodless ways to settle conflict, like Gandhi; you could hold spiritual book club meetings in your home once a week. You can be a warrior if you’re an educated follower. Gabby was more of a follower, although she took the lead when she had to, or wanted to. You can sign petitions for your causes; work with grass-roots environmental groups; write for a magazine that reflects your concerns; volunteer for Meals-On-Wheels. Is there a Warrior in you? I’m thinking if I can just get to where I don’t dread getting up in the morning, I’m a Warrior Princess. But for some reason I can’t find documentation for that anywhere in the series.
Xena was created by John Schulian and Robert G. Tapert.

How can I hold my platinum rings together?
I have a platinum princess cut engagement ring, and a platinum wishbone shaped wedding ring, they look beautiful together, but the wishbone keeps slipping round my finger so the don’t sit together.
I know gold rings can be soldered together, but is there any kind of clip I could buy to hold them together? Has anyone solved this problem before?!
Any advice would be gratefully received.

platinum rings can be soldered together as well it does not have to be gold. I had platinum rings too and had them soldered at the jeweler.
