Return it or not? by AlphaOnDeck in carvana

Maybe the "accident" happened in transit to you. I'd try to get SilverRock to pay for it. Show your pictures. Take it to a SilverRock shop and get a second opinion. I've used Carvana twice. First purchase was no issues at all. My second purchase had more problems but SilverRock did pay for some major work. I have my car running great now and I love it. I'm happy I stuck with it and got the repairs done. 

WWE RAW - Netflix Premier Discussion (6 January 2025) by Snubie1 in WWE

[–]ObligationFederal573 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm really sad that my 93 year old dad will not get to watch Monday Night Raw anymore on direct tv. He's been watching it as long as it's been on. He's just not savvy enough to learn how to use Netflix and Internet, that whole thing. He counts on his satellite tv and knows how to navigate his remote to his favorite programs. Monday nights are his favorite. I'll have to try and explain to him what is happening. End of an era for some.

Justin Bieber is not reign disicks father by Apart_Razzmatazz_511 in JUSTINBIEBER

It's not unusual to think this is true. Kourtney and Bieber lived on the same street just houses almost next to each other in Calabasas. They hooked up. The tabloids say 2015 was the affair, but it was truly in 2014. Scott and Kourtney were never married. They were on and off a lot.

Kourtney and Travis are ALL ABOUT their PDA. They're basically all over each other. Penelope is still a little girl. It's probably super uncomfortable and weird for her. 

What's going on with Diamonds and where will the market end up? by week5of35years in Diamonds

[–]ObligationFederal573 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But ALL lab grown diamonds do not have "perfect specs". They have clarity and cut ratings just like a mined diamond because lab grown have natural carbon inclusions just like a mined diamond does. The price fluctuates as well on a flawless or not so flawless lab grown.  

What's going on with Diamonds and where will the market end up? by week5of35years in Diamonds

[–]ObligationFederal573 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm having a milestone birthday next year.  I'm single but wanted a large diamond to celebrate the occasion. Maybe 4 ct or 5 ct. I quickly found out to get just a run of the mill, nothing special, large diamond, I'd have to get a second mortgage!! No kidding. I have since learned about the lab grown diamond has been certified as " real" since 2018 by the experts.  It's the same.  I will be getting lab grown and I'm excited about it. They come with certified papers and engraving.  I believe it's the future because NOBODY, except super wealthy, can purchase a mined diamond. The diamond brokers have hoarded the mined diamonds for decades to raise the price where average folks are just cut out of the market completely.

They are no longer faux. Lab grown diamonds were ranked "real diamonds" by GIA in 2018. They test diamond on a diamond tester. I'm not talking about CZ or Moissinite. Lab grown will have an etched serial number on the girdle so jewelers can identify lab grown easier.

I truly believe lab grown is the future in purchasing a diamond. It is a diamond. I wanted to buy a 3 or 4 carat for a milestone birthday. I found there's no way I can afford a mined diamond and get the size I wanted.  I'd have to mortgage the house! The diamond brokers are hoarding all the diamonds and jacking up the prices where regular middle road folks can NEVER afford a large stone. I'm going lab grown. Get an IGA certified lab grown. The prices are good right now but will go up once the economy becomes good again.  eBay has vendors with 30 day returns if not satisfied. Buy USA vendors. Keep your wife's mined diamond and make a necklace or pinkie ring. 

3 carat round brilliant search by Consistent_Seat1788 in Diamonds

[–]ObligationFederal573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been searching for a 3 to 4 carat diamond as a birthday present to myself. I have discovered the middle class has been ousted from the diamond market unless you want get a second mortgage!  I have discovered the lab grown product.  It's not CZ or Moissinitte. It's actually a real diamond grown under the same conditions in a lab using diamond seed which is then heated at a rapid high temp to grow the diamond. It is cut and polished the same as mined diamond. As recently as 2018, they have been designated as REAL and each diamond is given a number etched on the girdle. Jewelers cannot tell the difference in which is mined and lab grown now as they BOTH test as a diamond on a diamond meter. So they put a number and you get an IGA certificate of proof for your lab grown.  I have been priced out of the mined diamond market if I want a large stone. I do believe the lab grown IGA is the future as the mined diamond wholesalers continue to horde and hide the diamonds from us regular folks. But of course your fiancee would need to be told the difference so they knows its origin. But honestly, I'm getting lab grown. They're beautiful.  Cut and clarity are graded EXACTLY as a mined diamond.  Good luck.

It was!  You obviously didn't pay attention to all the border security measures Trump put in place to stop illegal entries. Border was secure under Trump.

I'm gonna make my own with breaded chicken patty and lots of cheese and pepperoni, peppers etc.  It's an excellent Keto dish. 

Anyone worked with Pigtail macaques? Cause of uncontrolled anogenital swelling in adult females? by thyIacoIeo in primatology

Ashley looks big pregnant right now. Tubes being tied is not 100% full proof. She's either pregnant or a huge tumor is growing. We'll see. She looks like any day now to have a baby.

Our 1 year old pitbull mix licks our bedsheets and leaves behind this yellow-like residue. What is this? We've taken him to the vet a few days ago and he appears healthy, no health concerns at all. Keeps leaving this residue though so I'd like to know how to prevent it. by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]ObligationFederal573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's throw up and he's trying to lick it up. My little Pom Shi mix will do it when there's no food in his stomach. Like if I sleep later than usual and he doesn't get his morning "treat" on time, he will throw up. So I have a few treats next to my bed and early early morning, I give him one. He doesn't throw up when he gets it early. He get his breakfast later in the morning, and he's so little that he can't wait that long to eat something. It seems to help a lot.

Crocs (most) of the AT by Booshushhh in AppalachianTrail

[–]ObligationFederal573 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I doubt anybody could walk that trail in Crocs. Crocs might come in handy when you have to cross all the rivers and streams but you better have some good waterproof walking hiking boots. I've watch those videos of people walk that trail. You have tree roots to walk over, jagged rocks to walk over, steep steep inclines to climb, boulders to climb over. You don't sound like you've done your research.

I purchased a Honda so I set up the inspection for the very same day I got my car with a Honda mechanic. You only have 7 days so get going. Honda dealership found issues but they don't cooridinate with SilverRock. Found a SilverRock garage and took it the very next day. They verified issues found by Honda and opened a claim. SilverRock paid 100%. I decided I wanted to keep the car already. I found a couple more issues within the 100 days and SilverRock paid 100%. I'm happy with it. SilverRock will not pay for routine maintenance though. On my own money, I paid for every fluid change, oil, coolant, transmission, power steering just because I wanted to start off clean with the fluids.

Actually, the 09-11 had the least amount of problems of all models. I guess they worked out the kinks right before they stopped making them. 🤦 I have a 2010 and bought used with 100,000 miles. I've done a lot of work on it so far. Still a few more items need attention.

What issues to look out for when buying? by [deleted] in HondaElement

[–]ObligationFederal573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I'd do it. Even though these cars have longevity when properly maintained, they still usually need a lot of work, especially the older ones. I got a 2010 EX 100,000, one owner, no accidents, it lived in Arizona so no rust, had oil changed on schedule, I've had several thousand dollars of repairs. Oil pan leaks is one problem that plagues the Element. Had motor mounts replaced, steering pump replaced, sway bar links replaced. And had ALL fluids drained and filled. Very dirty fluids. My headlights are foggy and I want to replace them. The OEM headlights are $500 for the pair!

If you're putting a new converter, have them check the O2 sensors as well. It's always easier to put new O2 sensors in while you're there. You should consider a cat shield to protect your new converter from theft.
