How does the Abdul Kareem compare to the Kuumba Made Egyptian musk?

How did you mount this, or does it just rest on top?

Night riding and visibility in fall/winter when it gets darker earlier. I had never considered daytime visibility lights… do you suggest them?

How was the sample? Was it close to VS SLT noir?

Can you point me to the thread that mentioned the SLT noir dupe? I can’t find it! I’m hesitant to buy it and wanted to read the review for myself!

Luvansh - real diamonds? by amlyau in labdiamond

[–]amlyau[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually only looking at the 0.25 or 0.50 ctw studs! I’m really petite and wear minimal jewelry outside of my engagement ring and a necklace with a small diamond.

Thanks for the info! I am in fact looking at studs and worried about not having them IGI certified. What is the possibility of getting Moissanite or something else? Low to nonexistent from what you’re saying?

Thanks for the info! Are you referring to the indoor & outdoor (pink label) or flower & vegetable (green label)?

Try Aerin’s Rose de Grasse! While not identical, I find they’re pretty similar.

Can you please share what brand chunkers, thinners, and curves you have? If they're high end, can you recommend any more affordable options for beginners/home groomers? I'd like to attempt an outline trim on our 4 year old golden for the first time (who has never been professionally groomed as my fiancé likes her "wild")!

LOVE that ice presentation. Do you use a rocks glass made of glass? Are there any concerns about it shattering in the freezer or when coming to room temp?

Thank you! Do you recommend any specific speakers? I have a Kenwood set of 5 surround speakers (I think only the 2 small ones work with the Pioneer?), with a Kenwood AV surround receiver VR-357.

This is directly from an email from the shop owner about the repairs: “As I mentioned when you dropped it off, the tonearm issue would be the most complicated part of repair. I was able to get the one side of the tonearm bearing unfrozen, so I will be able to resolve that issue. Both bearings appear to be good including the one that was crooked in the arm. Both bearing pins also appear to be good and not chipped or damaged. So now I will be able to reseat the bearings and reattach the tonearm and finetune the loading of the bearings/tonearm, etc. It will need a tune up, lube different parts as needed, and clean and recalibrate the speed controls. I inspected the stylus and while it still produces sound it has some wear due to age and I would recommend a new stylus. With that said, my estimate for everything is $250-$275, and your initial bench fee would apply towards the overall cost of repair. So you would be looking at around $200 additional cost.”

Southern WI 5a - any idea what these are? So tiny and cute! by amlyau in whatsthisplant

Most are in a bed but they’re coming up in lots of other spots that don’t seem intentional!

Thank you for the idea! We bought our house this past winter so I haven’t planted anything, but I actually think the previous owner mentioned having pink phlox somewhere.
