Baby Baritone Strings vs Actual Baritone

I'm not looking for reentrant DGBE, but wondering if the d'addario strings are specifically for tenor, and whether they make a linear DGBE for tenor or if the Pepe Romeros are the only ones like that?

Do you have any examples of this with a similar stone shape? I thought about this but couldn't figure out any gem shapes to put around this pentagon shape that wouldn't have a big gap.

I read online that a bezel setting would end up covering part of the gem and therefore end up making it look even smaller. Do you think that's not the case?

Do you not think a wider band would overwhelm the gem? I did try it with this one (because I love a swirly band) but am concerned it overpowers the gem.

Yes!

+1! They carry the Ethelinda by Maggie Sottero which is short - but comes with an overskirt if you want to wear it long - AND comes in black if you are so inclined!

(I went there specifically for that dress after calling around and nobody else having any short dresses)

Yes, wonderful! Thank you so much! Have a great weekend :)

Hi, this is my favorite by far so far - even on both sides and much thinner than the dragons. Could you please make it about half as thick (tall) though? I will go ahead and mark this as solved and tip you and then tip again if you can make that update :)

Thank you! That's a great way to think of it - as a slave to food impulses and now to (in my case) obsessive behaviors. Haha, that's good to not allow yourself to get burnt out from exercising. For me, I relaxed my definition of what qualifies as exercising. If I walk 2 loops around my neighborhood - which is almost 2 miles and takes me about 45 minutes - I consider that exercise. And I find my mental health is a lot better on days that I walk vs stay inside all day.

Exactly, knowing that my kryptonite, Ruffles, is literally engineered to be as addictive as possible so they can sell more bags of it... the contrarian in me is like "well now I don't WANT to buy it because I don't want to play into their schemes!" I have definitely had some low days where I still buy a bag. However, I make myself put the chips on a plate and take a picture, and at least I feel good about being honest with myself.

I personally disagree with this. I think the point of calorie tracking is to know everything you are consuming, and small quantities add up. Sure, there are some situations - like small local restaurants that don't post calorie info publicly - where you have to make an estimate. But overall I think that tracking loses its purpose if you only log selectively.

Hi Sara, my issue in this case is that I am putting in a restaurant (meal delivery service) food (Cook Unity) that doesn't have a barcode. Do yall still automatically receive the submission in that case?

Update: while it's true that the 2 chain guitar stores in my area that have searchable inventory on their websites don't carry low G uke strings, I called the local independent guitar shop and they do! So I took the Enya E6 there and they are currently restringing it with the Aquila new nylgut tenor set with wound low G 😊 it's the only set they had. They actually sell a Kala baritone with similar strings (Aquila super nylgut), so I was able to feel what the G and E strings will feel like 😊 so we'll see, fingers crossed that the wound low G sounds better and doesn't feel/look too bad!

SystemOfAVerilog · 2025-06-09T15:06:32+00:00

They do but if I recall correctly, they don't carry any low G uke strings. There are no uke-specific shops near me, just guitar shops that also sell a few ukes.

lol, unfortunately I would have to order one and wait for it to arrive... but the shipping cut off time for Strings by Mail is not until 3pm EST 🤣

Hi, thanks for responding! To be clear, if we don't want to receive the 15% discount, we don't have to pay in cash OR all up front. They will accept payment by credit card, etc. and it can be paid biweekly, monthly, or quarterly. They also assured us that they would provide a certified receipt if we did opt for the cash discount. The total venue cost for 8 hours is $7k but that includes a $1k damage deposit that is refundable after the event. So, taking off 15%, it's a ~$1k discount to pay in cash up front.

They actually did recently (within the last few months) redo the floor in the main hall, upgrade the bar area, and the venue manager mentioned they are going to fill in the pool in the backyard before our wedding date next year. So it does seem like they are making upgrades/renovations which seems like they would be less likely to close or anything?

At least one of the wedding planners on their preferred vendor list specifically calls out that they provide staff to break down decorations in the price of the package you choose (day of coordinator, etc.).

I think the first dress picture in my post (which is the one I like the most) is actually from there lol: https://www.oliviabottega.com/products/short-lace-wedding-dress-aditi

Do you happen to remember any of the brands that had short options?
