Re: Poor customer service: would you write to the business?
This doesn't happen to be a very popular custom jeweler that PSers often mention, is it? I would be very disappointed in them if it is. |

Re: I'm sorry, but it is time to PANIC!
Panic? I hope you're being a bit tongue in cheek, because that is rather alarmist. Trust me, the East Coast deals with climate disasters frequently too, and knows how to deal with blizzards, hurricanes, and other issues. People can definitely be lackadaisical about it, but certainly by this point ev... |

Re: What's your least favorite thing to spend money on?
Cat litter. And with 4 of them, I practically have to buy it by the pallet-load. |

Re: Fair Trade, the Boy and the Sapphire
Thank you for a much needed behind-the-scenes perspective on the gem trade. And thanks for doing what you did for Sunil-I hope he is OK. I'll read this anytime I need a reminder of how insignificant my own "first world problems" really are. |

Re: Useless things you really want
I want a library. No, seriously. With a fireplace, a huge wingback chair with a comfy blanket, a little table with a tiffany style lamp, and ladders. I don't care if the ladders are to no where, but it needs rolling ladders. And maybe a murphy bed, so we can have some guests too. My fantasy house h... |

Re: Useless things you really want
I really, really want a miniature horse. Not that they're useless but they're totally impractical for where I live. Would they be more practical in a different climate? :lol: If so, move there! :cheeky: Hahaha I LOVE miniature horses! I was thinking of the city and the development I live in. There ... |

Re: Do you have the right to recline your plane seat?
Yes, I absolutely have the right to recline it, but I also feel I have the responsibility to look back, see if it's going to inconvenience a tall person or someone with a baby in their lap, and to not JAM it into someone's kneecaps. Then I gradually ease the seat back to a point that's comfortable, ... |

Re: Jewelers in Boston
DanielM, on Etsy, is in Salem. I don't think he has a retail store, but you can most likely contact him for an in person meeting. http://www.etsy.com/shop/danielmjewelry. Many people here have custom rings from him in both silver and gold. |

Re: The strangest times to talk or think about jewelry.
I had my annual lady parts exam recently, and the doctor and nurse, both women, started admiring my rings. We had a nice little chat about antique jewelry while I was there on the table, feet in the stirrups.

Re: Do any of you ladies wear bras from Soma?
Are you near a store where you can get fitted? That's what I did, and I turned out to be a smaller band size and larger cup size than I usually buy. Also, I bought two different styles of bras from Soma, and the sizing was different on each. So if you can't go in and get fitted, you may need to orde... |

Re: Do any of you ladies wear bras from Soma?
I pretty much only wear their Allura bra now, the one with the molded cups. Great support and shaping. Took me a bit to get used to them, but they're quite sturdy and very comfy. I don't hand wash either...too lazy! I always look for their sales because it still hurts me to pay $50 for bra. |

Re: I got worms
Cool, you did it! Have fun with the wormies.

Hopefully, it will work as advertised. Our neighbors have a different type of vermiposter ... |

Re: Do you compost?
Hi Kenny-did you know there's a local composting class, and the city sells a variety of composting bins? Google our city + composting, and check out the first link that comes up. We're going to do it, I think, because we're also planning to take advantage of the drought-tolerant lawn replacement pro... |

Re: Where to buy/rent a Have-A-Heart trap?
Do you have a Harbor Freight nearby? I bought one there. It's not Hav-a-hart brand, but it worked pretty well.

Re: New Ring from my Mother-In-Law
Oh, that's gorgeous! I think late Victorian. It's similar in style, though MUCH prettier than this one on Trocadero: http://www.trocadero.com/wpj/items/1000845/item1000845store.html |

Re: We'll email you the reciept.
SquareUp receipts are super weird too. SU is a credit card processer that small merchants (like those selling at street fairs etc) can run via an app on a smartphone.

Re: A Song of Ice and Fire TV show!
Once I knew the HBO series was coming out, I decided to read as many of the books as I could beforehand. I got through the third one, and started the fourth. Then the series started, and I started re-reading the first one so I could see how well they compared! I guess I really should finish the four... |

Re: Your evening bath will never be the same...

Re: Antique/Filigree jewelry settings?
A lot of the variation probably has to do with whether it's original or reproduction, and where they are actually made/cast. It would be great if you could see the settings in person before buying, and get an idea of the actual quality! |

I've been eyeing the settings on this ebay store for a while: http://stores.ebay.com/MyDiamondZone/_i.html?_fsub=14736871 They are reproductions of antique style settings, not actual vintage pieces, so they are probably cast.

Re: The world's strangest buildings
As a book lover who lives in KC (well, for one more month), I have to go with the KC Public Library! I actually go to a different library though, as it's more convenient to where I live. http://www.pricescope.com/files/images/KC%20public%20library.jpg That's AWESOME. I never knew about that library! |
