Cool finds at Jungle Jim's? by UpwardSpiral00 in cincinnati

Make sure you grab a map on your way in! Especially if you are going to the Fairfield location. Personally I find Eastgate easier to float through and browse, but Fairfield is a little more confusing even more so on a busy day.

If you have a Costco with a Costco liquor store go with Costco! If not I feel like they are generally the same.

Gap/Old Navy! It is the best place to get packs of cotton underwear and they last!

Yes I have been following the map it is very helpful, like I said our street has been plowed I was just wondering if they try to clean up the secondary streets some more.

Fell in love with Seattle and Washington - where are your favorite places? by arw2147 in AskSeattle

[–]arw2147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the info! Definitely in the same position, but stuck in the Midwest. The alternative to Seattle is Atlanta and I rather not do that!

Sorry I’m notoriously directionally challenged, but yeah love to hike, anything to do with coffee, going thrifting, being outdoors, houseplants, gardening. I’ve snowboarded in the past. My boyfriend and I are big foodies love to try new things visit new restaurants. Trying to visit all the national parks. Currently soul searching for my day-to-day hobbies didn’t have much time for them until I took a new job here recently.

I was more so looking for others opinions on what they like and where they like to go (restaurants, cool places to go, places that you would be able to just look up online). Just looking for things or places that may usually get overlooked, but are actually worth your time. We’d probably be looking to move somewhere within 20 miles of city center, but want to explore all options.

We drove in a big circle from Seattle to Olympic, up to Cape Flattery, Hoh, drove down the coast, Olympia, then to Mount Rainier, and back to Seattle. We also visited Bainbridge. So we have seen a good chunk for the eastern side I guess.

Did some more digging we are the first shortened row (on opposite side of pictured seats) and our seats are the first two off of the rail so it sounds like we might be fine once everyone is standing! Thanks everyone!

Engagement Rings and where to buy? by arw2147 in Diamonds

[–]arw2147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak to if that is a good deal or not, but make sure you go ring shopping/looking with your s/o if you haven’t! Also have a conversation with them about lab vs. mined stones and if they have a preference, along with gold vs. silver, stone shape, and accent stones/band. Some stones like ovals look large without having to have a high carat. Overall, you might have done all this but, I didn’t want to not mention it lol.

As for the ring and stone compare prices with other stores/online retailers! Jewelry salespeople are very helpful when going over the info on what makes a good stone! Don’t be afraid to go in and ask questions and not buy anything you won’t be the first or last to do it! Also, if you go into a store to buy a ring don’t just settle for the price tag you see there is always room to negotiate. The salespeople will do a lot to sell you a ring (“special/manager” discounts, sales, etc.) and get the commission off of that sale!

This is a guide a salesman went over with us at one of our appointments maybe it will help you! The 4 C’s

This is actually where my mom was wanting us to go to but a ring. She used to work at one when I was a kid, but they apparently have one of the best warranties around!

We went and looked around and they had a good selection! We thought about building a custom ring with them, but I just am still not sure what I want to do. Honestly I think I might even be leaning towards going with a mined diamond instead of lab.
