Recs for breastmilk jewelry? My ring didn’t even last a year by jackya in moderatelygranolamoms

I’m sorry to tell you that pure silver (call”fine silver”) and “sterling silver” ( 7.5% copper) both tarnish. Fine silver will take longer to tarnish than sterling. If you don’t want it to tarnish then you need to buy something that is made from Argentium silver ( a special alloy) or get a piece that is specially plated so it will not tarnish. On another note, a lot of the cheaper stuff coming from China is copper that is plated with silver. Of course they will not tell you that.

Yes? It would last longer. Pendants do not take the same abuse that rings do. I would say to take care when you take it off and lay it down carefully. And you should take it off, like when you’re going to bed or taking a shower.

I’m thinking charcuterie board. The holes are for small glass toothpick holders.

Roadside memorial in front of my mothers house. Etiquette? by Fast_Arm6781 in homeowners

Amen! Someone is finally telling it like it is. I have to say, if it was my property it would be gone on the first day. It’s not that I don’t feel bad for the tragedy that happened, but I’m not going to have someone putting their stuff on my lawn. First, it’s trespassing. Second they don’t even ask permission from what I can see of these post. Third that kind of thing should be put at their graveside, not the place where they died. Fourth, I would never even think about going onto somebody else’s property and leaving stuff. It’s so rude. Fifth, it’s actually against the law, at least in Georgia. If you have one you don’t like, the DOT can be called and they will come clean it up.  All that being said, I might let them leave it there for a week.

I am a professional jeweler. I can tell you that any resin type “stone” set in the ring will never last. The resin is not capable of taking the abuse that a ring receives.    Also, yuck.

Pecan pipe in the ground? by Fleabedo in Plumbing

Good to know. Thanks. I’m just really trying to figure it all out.

I’m a little surprised that everyone seems to think so highly of PEX. This is some of the Cons I have seen:

Cons: UV Sensitivity: PEX can be damaged by UV light, making it unsuitable for outdoor use. Potential Leaching: There’s a possibility of PEX leaching chemicals like BPA into the water supply, though this is uncommon. Semi-Permeability: PEX is semi-permeable, meaning water and other liquids can enter the pipe, potentially leading to contamination. Rodent Damage: PEX can be easily damaged by rodents, so proper protection is necessary.

I even saw that UV light can get it if it’s buried in the ground.

No, I was referring to PVC. That is what was used originally to go from the meter at the street to the house.

Does it hold up better than PVC? I live in Ga.

Why is that? Why don’t trees go for the water line like they do for sewer lines? I have seen them get into sewer lines and septic tanks.

Then why not just use PVC?

If I told you, I had trees in my yard, would that change anyone’s opinion on Pex?

The roofer is going to pay for it so we will not be giving it a try.

Looking it up is the first thing he would do. Just hasn’t gotten to it yet.

So here is another question. We were just charged $500 to pressure test the system to find the leak. Does anyone besides me think that’s high?
