Re: Accuracy of Shane and Co Appraisals??

I don't know if its certified. I assume not as the seller did not include that in the listing. So I'm just going by the appraisal. I would be perfectly fine with it being a couple steps down in clarity/color, as the price is more than fair. I haven't had any experience with the box stores, so was cu...

We had a small family party with just a handful of close relatives and my boyfriend at the time. I'm sure I got some cards with money, but nothing too crazy!

Selling Jewelry on Craigslist

Has anyone sold any diamond jewelry on Craigslist? I have a few pieces that I would like to sell. I typically sell on ebay, but I'm interested in giving Craigslist a try. I've sold various items on there, but am a little nervous about diamonds, just because of the value. I'm just curious what others...

Re: How do you survive

I'm sorry that your going through this tough time. I would say that the first year or so was the hardest one post divorce. It just took some time to adapt to suddenly being on my own again. Not to mention the debt. I had only worked part time during our marriage because he didn't want a wife who was...

Re: Healthcare Providers and Fees

In many (or most) instances, the providers themselves and their staff can't give an exact $ amount, because, as others have mentioned, it varies soooo greatly depending on your insurance coverage. If I remember correctly, there is a law in place that says that costs of procedures need to be given up...

Re: what would you do ethical question

If these young men are not minors, its not anyone else's business what their lifestyle choices are. And whether or not they choose to accept gifts, dinner, or even an intimate relationship with this man; that's their personal decision.
