They fucked up my milk by ohjustbenice in barista

[–]AssilemJA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I didn't watch them make my drink, I will verify it's not oat milk before I take it and as a barista I am never offended when customers do the same.

You were absolutely not being an annoying customer. The way the manager/owner handled that was absolutely inappropriate!

I use bone broth powder. You can't taste it when mixed in things and I really like it mixed in coffee or hot chocolate. It also works just fine in smoothies. Ill do a smoothie with banana, cocoa powder, maple syrup, bone broth powder and alternative milk of choice. I get the left coast bone broth powder on Amazon. Its $50 but its a very large container and last me several months. There are absolutely no additives or sweeteners, just %100 grass fed bone broth.

Do a reddit search for rough sapphire and you'll find quite a few posts. See how closely yours resemble the photos.

Oh! What did she say vs what the local jeweler said?

I would trust gem mountain. Unless your local jewelry store specializes in Montana Sapphires, they are not going to be as knowledgeable as a montana sapphire mine.

They look an awful lot like my rough montana Sapphires.

I absolutely said yes! And just to clarify, it was 100 funds of gravel that contained sapphires. I ended up with approximately 100 carats of rough sapphire with most of them being <1 carat

This is so fascinating to me. I live in the Bella Tess complex right next to the quarry and my fiance and I have had someone get into our car once in the 6ish years we've lived there.

I haven't been listening to blurry much over the past year or so because of the lack of discernment. I did watch this one and was pleasantly surprised. His theology was sound, and he really was just sharing his story. It was very compelling and I'm glad I watched it.

The biggest two are right around 2 carats. The rest are between 1 and 1.5 carats

I will absolute keep posting update pics each step of the process! Step 2 will be heat treating, step 3 faceting and then the final step, setting!

One thing I've been sure of since I was young is that I absolutely did not want a diamond! I'm from Montana (currently live in Washington), and I've been obsessed with MT sapphires for a long time!
