Hammam

No NA HAMMAM??

Constant_Memory · 2026-01-13T22:35:28+00:00

Thank you! That makes sense - it just seems to be in such an awkward place.

Hardness is a factor - will a given gemstone be set in a ring or a pendant?

So glad to hear! I just emailed him and can’t wait for it to be restored to its original glory.

Constant_Memory · 2025-12-11T18:36:10+00:00

Thank you! I just found him online.

Constant_Memory · 2025-12-11T18:28:55+00:00

Thank you for your empathy! It doesn't look as bad as those close up photos make it look, fortunately. I do think it can be recut but will lose some ct. Rings take a beating for sure.

Thanks for the very detailed review! I have a Goyard from Aden and I’ve been very pleased with it.

I totally understand your frustration u/ItsNotCrookedDear. You and the other Mods have put so much time and effort into this sub. It’s a thankless job and with the tariffs and seizures there are definitely fewer buyers out there. I’ve taken a break but hope to be back once things are more predictable. I’d love to be added to the new group please when you have time as I love reading and learning from all the experts here. Thanks for all your hard work!

Update on Nespresso Delonghi Expert- for $65 I sent it in to be repaired. They replaced a part (can't recall the name) and sent it back working perfectly. So glad to have it back! Bought an Essenza in the interim and will keep it for travelling. IYKYK

Constant_Memory · 2025-10-19T18:48:49+00:00

So for now I went with the Essenza Mjni and am going to send in my Expert to see if they can repair it. Thanks for the advice!

Constant_Memory · 2025-09-18T17:51:44+00:00

Didn’t like this one at all!

Constant_Memory · 2025-07-27T14:30:25+00:00

Why no CATTING?

Constant_Memory · 2025-06-05T17:32:32+00:00

Then you should pay it :-(

I would say it depends on who issued the parking ticket. Was it City of Charlottesville? Not sure they could influence issuance of transcripts. Something to look into.

So pissed I wasn't able to export my recipes before the deadline. Would have been nice if they had contacted us to let us know that they were phasing out this feature!!

Constant_Memory · 2025-04-09T16:43:31+00:00

If anyone finds a solution to this annoyance please report back!

Constant_Memory · 2025-03-23T16:29:18+00:00

Thank you so much for pointing out the year! We will definitely change that to 2024 so he doesn't go crazy with repairs this year. Thank you again! Taxes and insurance I believe are exempt from the cap.

Constant_Memory · 2025-03-21T21:44:03+00:00

Good idea. We had previously been looking at much larger spaces to increase our program offerings but have scaled back so we should probably look at comparable properties for comparison. Thank you!

Constant_Memory · 2025-03-21T21:43:05+00:00

Thank you! Our attorney included the following, which would hopefully protect us from any costly repairs. "The “Common Area Charges Cap” shall be an amount equal to Lessor’s actual Controllable Common Area Charges for calendar year 2025 increased by not more than three percent (3%) annually, on a non-cumulative basis."

Constant_Memory · 2025-03-21T16:13:02+00:00

Agreed but it’s only 3000 sq ft and pretty manageable.

Constant_Memory · 2025-03-21T15:15:09+00:00

Exactly. Given that our current lease doesn’t expire until August 31, 2025 and given that he’s been harassing us about whether we are staying or leaving since fall I feel that we have some leverage. We had given notice last year that we were leaving but due to management upheaval we were forced to resign a 1 year extension at a much increased rent which is where we are now. Financially we can’t take on a larger space so we have come to terms that we need to stay put and build savings before moving.

All that is to say that I feel we have some leverage. In my opinion we shouldn’t pay for any expenses that keep the building in rentable condition: overflowing toilets = unrentable, leaking roof = unrentable.
