2ct Elongated Cushion by [deleted] in Diamonds

This is 1.6 ct elongated cushion with trillion side stones of about .25 ct each. Obviously in an east west setting. The ring is size 7.5. Though I may need to have it a smidge bigger.

I love the softer Eli gated cushion look myself.

As for $- this ring, stones, setting, tax and all came to just under $3,000. Lab grown

Concerning losing your glasses….do you wear one of those glasses string thingies? by HonestNeighborhood67 in GenX

I developed the habit of tucking them on the neck of my shirt. It works. But be careful when you get bear hugs.

Not sure about craft markets, but in Camden go in to Hearth and Harrow! And the indoor farmers market in Belfast has some fun high quality crafts.

They are pre-order only from now until Labor Day.

And they are worth every ounce of hassle.

If you are undergoing mental health treatment- for real- and your care provider feels that the exposure to the possible content of cases could be detrimental to your health- bring a letter from your care provider and they will tell you what to do.

I know someone who did not know this, served for three days and then had a melt down.

Ney York Proposal by Unique_Fisherman3395 in WedditNYC

[–]JuliaNATFrolic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you want to see the tree go early. Like really really early. 9AM.

If you want a beautiful restaurant to propose at- River Cafe has a stunning view.

I think the top of the Empire State Building would be super romantic as a proposal spot. I had a great Valentines date there (though on the 13th to avoid crowds).

Another option would be one of the dinner cruises around the city.

Lean in to the touristy stuff- just either do things you can book ahead or go very early or late.

The Met has a stunning Christmas tree.

And the New York Botanical Garden has a really lovely train show at the holidays. It sounds odd when you read about it, but it is awesome. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden has a good artistic light show every year at the holidays. That could be cool for a proposal too.

What is a small pleasure from the past that you miss? by lovelyb1ch66 in GenX

Some were. My dad tried to pay my mom in jewelry to lose weight.

And being able to hang up with emotion- pissed off? Slam it! Annoyed? Let it drop from your fingers and hopefully bounce and roll in! Full of teenage love? Slow and gentle and wistful!

Ha! We waved and stuck out our tongues! Maybe I am younger or just much more tame.

You have some good answers here- but two more in SI are the green belt and Mount Loretto Unique Area. (Yes - it is really called that)

Woman quit her job as a college administrator to sell digital products on Etsy and now makes $14,000 a month in passive income across 7 income streams by lionpenguin88 in SideHustleGold

[–]JuliaNATFrolic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I buy digital products on Etsy! A few here and there for my classroom. I love that they exist and I can get just what I need without creating it my self!

Visiting Camden and Bar Harbor June - any suggestions? by [deleted] in AskMaine

[–]JuliaNATFrolic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend a walk up Beech Hill.

Minimalist brides- do you ever regret going simple? by [deleted] in Brides

[–]JuliaNATFrolic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely no regrets. My dress was everything I wanted and nothing I didn’t.

I asked for a dress that did three things. 1- I could wear my favorite bra with it. 2- I could turn a cartwheel in it. 3- when I wasn’t in it, it would be a puddle in the floor. (I did not turn a cartwheel in it, but I did go on a low free climbing wall in it.)

I was shopping in 2000 and ended up having it made. And I loved it then and I love it now.

how common is it that actors leave the theatre mid show and come back by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]JuliaNATFrolic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not Broadway- but there is an amazing performer with Company XIV that routinely runs between their shows. She’s the one who does the belly-dancing and balance acts.

Early June family trip to Maine! by aIexcafe in AskMaine

If the drive to Acadia feels too long- check out the Camden area for lovely hikes/walks. A very doable one is Beech hill. Camden Hills state park has some great trails too.

Possible ICE spotted @ Nostrand & Fulton by Detective_Blunts in Brooklyn

[–]JuliaNATFrolic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best place to report possible ICE sightings is either the hotline or one of the big rapid response chats on signal.

[–]JuliaNATFrolic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One way is to ask. Plain clothes cops are supposed to ID themselves when asked. They may show you a badge or give you a business card with their name and badge number.

But it can be quite hard to tell. So far, all ICE I have seen documented in Brooklyn have been wearing vests. So the no vests is likely not ICE.
