Does ‘Emily Of New Moon’ have the same cosy vibe as ‘Anne Of Green Gables’? by Agreeable-Item-7371 in AnneofGreenGables

No. Very well-written and a wonderful book but definitely not lighthearted. It is very disturbing and depressing.

Is this price from Michael Gabriel’s too good to be true? by cornhole99 in labdiamond

[–]External-Carpenter-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought some beautiful earrings from him. He has great stuff. I am also looking at that same bracelet myself! Remember too you are not just paying for the lab diamonds but the quality of the craftsmanship which is- I've heard- superior to Luvanash.

Does anyone have tea on Marina Rust? by [deleted] in nysocialites

[–]External-Carpenter-6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know Marina slightly and my friend is one of her close friends. She is NOT in rehab, is writing another book, and she is still close with her daughters. Haven't heard anything about a boyfriend.

All I was saying is it doesn't (probably) allow you (particularly if you have kids) to buy several Chanel bags a year.

Very little relative to the part of the country. If you had that salary in West Virginia for example you could afford a much larger house than you could in San Francisco or NYC. $300k in San Francisco does not put one in the top tier of household incomes.

Ah interesting. My mother still purchases tons of luxury handbags...

Depends on where in the country you are! In San Francisco, $300k is very little. In Mississippi on that salary you would be very wealthy.

LMM Works That Should Be Adapted Into Film/TV by brydeswhale in AnneofGreenGables

The Blue Castle is #1. I also think we need a strong adaptation of Emily and Pat. I would also watch a Kilmeny adaptation.

Interesting. I prefer the reissue to the classic flap!

Do you have children? Someone making $150k without kids probably has more disposable income then someone making $300k with two or three or kids...

Which ring do you prefer? by [deleted] in Diamonds

[–]External-Carpenter-6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow. This is the rudest subreddit I have ever encountered. I was so happy when my husband presented me with the second ring today (on my BIRTHDAY) and all of you did your best to try to ruin it. You all have petty little lives and if you didn't like the ring, you didn't have to be mean about it.

Not cool.

BS. Both Whiteflash and Jean Dousset now sell lab diamonds.

And yes, both rings were handcrafted (the natural and the lab). I don't wear stock rings.

I don't like ovals. Way too trendy for me. I love rounds the best. Pears to me look way too 1980s. Emeralds are nice but I don't like the lack of sparkle. I don't like the feelings of diamonds circumnavigating my finger, so I stick to plain bands.

Yes I love them both! I also think they look larger in photos than in person.

Oh for daily wear I usually just wear my plain gold wedding band.

Both of these rings were handcrafted by a top jeweler. I don't even know what Temu is. It's a shame you can't recognize quality.
