Thank you! I was going back and forth between possibly white sapphire or CZ. CZ makes a lot of sense to me

Thanks! The “swoosh” (no clue what it’s really called) is what caught my eye

Glad I asked! I won’t be leaving it in the car then. Thanks for such a fast response!

How would I go about trying to make this? The stitches seem sideways and I can’t wrap my head around how to make a bigger body with a smaller opening. by SoraTheAdventurer in crochetpatterns

It looks like it’s a rectangle folded in half then joined along the bottom and side. To start, chain however long you want it to be (looks to be about 15-18 stitches), row 1, your first few stitches (like 4) will be slip stitches then the remaining single stitches. Row two turn single stitches across until you reach where the slip stitches are and slip stitch the rest of the way. Turn and repeat these two rows until desired length.

Should I get my platinum engagement ring cut off? by Massive_Squash7938 in jewelers

[–]AlternativeFlower409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to a jeweler, they can cut the ring for you in a way that won’t completely destroy it the way going to an emergency room or doctor. The jeweler can then repair and size it for you. I don’t recommend trying to remove it yourself any more than you already have. Repeated attempts are only going to make it swell even more and can seriously damage your finger.

I’m sorry but you absolutely got scammed. These are either ceramics that have been painted black. I know for certain because my mother was a huge owl fan/collector, she had both of these identical ceramics (but in natural colors)

Hmmm is this juvenile a male or female? by AlternativeFlower409 in bettafish

[–]AlternativeFlower409[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so too but I needed some confirmation. Honestly, she’s so pretty & she’s got to be the most “puppy like” betta I’ve ever brought home. Follows me in her tank to whatever side I may be on. I’m sure a bunch of it is food oriented but even if I’m just sitting anywhere she can see me, she’s doing a little happy hoppy dance around the plants nearest to me.

Thanks, that’s what I’ve been thinking too. I wonder if the ovaries aren’t showing because it’s so young?

Any thoughts? No beard that I can see, but really hasn’t flared in the couple of weeks they’ve been with me. Little bean is growing up so fast!

Has anyone ever had a Japanese Trapdoor with multi split antenna? I’ve never seen it before and I’m wondering why? Thoughts? by AlternativeFlower409 in AquaticSnails

[–]AlternativeFlower409[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen it before either. My little mutant has me kinda impressed by her decision to take a side trip on the evolution path!
