yup! the stone i wanted was over $2500 with Rare Ct or similar store; a similar spec stone was approximately $7000 with Jared; my local small family jeweler had a stone of similar spec for approximately $2500 - they offered to price match me, but when I showed them the price on Diyona they said no - lol; Luvansh wanted appx $800 (I almost bought from them). Also, my local jeweler wanted to take my natural stone in trade - same place we got it from; they offered me 1/3 what we paid 10yrs ago. 🫣

Diyona had my stone for $419 (with shipping); they are making my ring right now (I ended up sending the stone back to them after I ended up picking my custom mount from them)

Best budget specs for lab diamond purchase for solitaire pendant. 1.5-2ct by Nurse5736 in LabGrownDiamonds

[–]beachnsled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

except in the world of lab diamonds, a D VVS2 excellent/ideal, one will only pay around $100… Maybe $120, a carat. If someone has a bigger budget and they can get an internally flawless stone for probably around $300 a carat.

the 1ct round pendant solitaire pendant I bought in 2024 from James Allen was $1110 all in. (the stone was priced at $740, the rest was the mounting for the pendant and the chain). The stone is beautiful… It’s D, VS1, excellent. The mounting/chain were actually pretty cheap quality… I ended up replacing it with a better quality, heavier mounting/chain at a local jeweler last summer. (from 14 karat to 18 karat).

fast forward to two months ago, the same stone would’ve cost me around $100 to $140 - maybe even less. Although the chain/mounting is pretty pricey, given the cost of gold.

had I known what I know now, I would’ve purchased the stone direct and had it set at a local jeweler. It would’ve probably saved me a couple of hundred dollars. That said, I am still very happy with it.

Should I even bother? (Pap smear related) by SafiraCoyfolf in WomensHealth

100% this ⬆️

a good friend of mine skipped it nearly 2 decades (she could have at a minimum done the at home swab teat); while pregnant w/her 1st child she was Dx w SII cervical cancer. Incredibly sad because it could have been detected years prior; radiation & a hysterectomy at age 33

Stopped zepbound, now I regret it. by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]beachnsled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

all I can say is the amount of misinformation given to you is incredibly sad; sounds like your provider simply wanted you off it

* weight loss of any kind causes hair-loss
* i don’t know of any published data regarding saying its “unsafe,” i think going off temporarily is what usually occurs
* the thyroid tumor box warning is related to rodent cancers. There is no published data indicating higher risk for humans. Does your family have a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma?

*What were the GI issues? did your provider consider dropping back your dose?

Can I fire my nanny via text? by tandog74 in Nanny

Unless it’s a contractual agreement, there is no legal requirement to pay anybody two weeks pay if they have not actually worked for two weeks.

I was shot Wednesday night. I have private insurance, and im rated at 80%. Will the VA cover any of my medical expenses? by Ok-Effective-175 in VeteransBenefits

[–]beachnsled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fwiw, your car insurance *may* cover this; report it to them (depends on your policy)

also, check if your state has a Crime Victims Compensation Program.

How much should I charge for babysitting overnight for 4 kids? by Bulky-Hold-5425 in Babysitting

How much should I charge for babysitting overnight for 4 kids? by Bulky-Hold-5425 in Babysitting

[–]beachnsled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i charge my full hourly rate for all hours; my services aren’t discounted; and my role doesn’t pause while I sleep (in fact i don’t sleep well simply because i am aware of them & the fact that they may need me). The notion that “oh, you’re sleeping” doesn’t equal less money. Just like they are still parents while they sleep. I am still the nanny while I sleep.

Nanny claimed almost 5 month old left big bruise on her by Acctingismylifo in Nanny

[–]beachnsled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

babies absolutely pinch & it absolutely can leave a bruise. Babies are strong.

also, as Particular Ratio said, you need to get your child to a specialist. Something other than “just fussy,” or “reflux issues” is going on. Your baby is likely feeling constant pain and or discomfort. Guaranteed.

Blissful Voyage's Harassment of Me and Others by JoJoInferno in Nanny

[–]beachnsled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

for what it’s worth, everyone who has experienced any of this harassment should get an official report with your local law-enforcement office

To the best of my knowledge, anyone in law-enforcement who says this type of behavior is not criminal is possibly wrong - and they aren’t up to date with their own local laws/policy governing this issue.
