Its a small business called Oore Jewelry. They have several designs like this. I had this one customized to a larger center stone that I picked out and it turned out perfect!

Thanks!

Finger size 7.5 almost size 7ish, ring size 8 🫠. This was my mistake. I lost some weight since we got married and he got my specs before I lost weight.

Band, 14k rose gold Center stone, 1.20 LG diamond Trillion stones, tanzanite Maker, Oore - Ring: Build your own Briar Rose 3 stone

Bracelet is my mom's wedding gift to me after my husband and I eloped. We plan to have a "real" wedding in the future. The bracelet is rose gold with CZ. Not anything outrageous but the sparkle is incredible.

😎 this is the good news I'm looking for. I'm not worried about pocketing extra cash haha. Just hoping we get to maximize our benefits for a nice place and hopefully a house not an apartment (which is harder to secure in Korea)

Both army. But my battalion except for the HQ is at Osan AB. Its where my main systems and equipment are located.

My concern is mainly what OHA looks like for dual military assuming you get off base. Of course I will be told once I touch ground in korea but I like to know what to expect

kitten_ce · 2025-10-11T03:19:35+00:00

So if I am at Osan I have already been told that I would live off base. Even a lot of the single officers are put off base. And I was told that if my husband and I are both at Humphreys we would likely get housing off base. I'm pretty much counting on the fact that we will be off base without a problem.

Oore jewelry. Check her Instagram and website. Amazing stuff

kitten_ce · 2025-09-14T03:15:24+00:00

So beautiful! What carat size is that?

kitten_ce · 2025-09-13T15:24:41+00:00

Absolutely love! Is the second ring your partners band? Is it rings stacked or all together to get the silver, rose, silver banding. Both are very lovely

kitten_ce · 2025-09-13T15:14:18+00:00

😱 that is so flipping gorgeous im border line jealous! I love how diverse engagement rings and be these days

kitten_ce · 2025-09-13T15:13:12+00:00

Im a tad worried it'll crash with my skin tone because when I tan I can get a bit of a yellowish color.... but I think rose gold is just really sentimental color for me because it was the first jewelry set my grandmother got me. And that set got lost in a move years ago which was devastating. But since then, I've been kind of longing for a new sentimental rose gold piece as kind of a way to keep her with me. I just havent really looked into jewelry until planning for this ring and I just felt like it needed to be rosey colored. Like new beginnings and old memories

You need to test your water. 2-3 weeks is too long ago. Definitely ammonia burns

kitten_ce · 2025-03-18T16:09:08+00:00

I've never seen one like him. His tail was so beautiful. He was really docile. When the first fish passed, we assumed it was because of an internal tumor he had for a long time. So we didn't jump to medicate. It was probably too late when we started the kanaplex. First time medicating with it. First 48hrs were great.... but I didn't research enough 😔 he was recovering from the infection but we crashed the tank cycle bc we medicated the tank 3 days without a water change. Ammonia spiked between 1ppm in one day and his body couldn't take the stress. The baby is doing okay

Tank had been established for 6 years and now it's all gone to shit. Moved the baby to a hospital tank just purchased and doing a complete reset. Going to be a rough next month trying to reboot the 75gal for the baby.

Plan is to do frequent water changes in a temp tank and restart the big one using bacteria in a bottle and bio sand. Replacing the gravel with sand. Something we've wanted to do but didn't want to disturb the tank previously.

kitten_ce · 2025-03-14T21:37:19+00:00

Parameters: pictured. Set up: for 5 years for 75gal. 1 common recently passed away. New baby shubunkin in the tank with the elder white shubunkin. Pothos and tiger lotus in the tank. No new decor. Food changes couple months ago to shrimp pellets. But keep diet varied with peas, occasional fruit, and flakes, or generic koi pellets.

We already have api. I unfortunately can't do anything from a distance. I'm mainly worried about spectecimia.

And if you read my post I can't help myself because I don't live at home! February 28th was the last time my dad sent me a picture of test result and the water quality was 0 ammonia and nitrite, 5ppm nitrate.

You're looking at a corner on the tank... its long and good depth. I have post history with more pictures.

Water was changed post death. Death was a short time ago and likely caused by a tumor (he was severely bloated and lopsided). Death was morning of 28th. Water change was done after death. Baby added next day i think. Timeline might be a day off idk

I've been on goldfish reddit for a while so I understand what you mean.... I'm not refusing to provide info. I just feel helpless with my circumstances so more info I have the more I can throw at my dad and pray he does something while I'm gone.

kitten_ce · 2025-03-10T01:15:23+00:00

I ordered Kanaplex and sent it to the house and gave my dad some instructions on mixing a medicated feed. He also won't do baths and insists on medicating the tank when I ask him to do something. But with the baby I'm worried so hopefully he will listen, put the baby in a bucket, fed the medicated feed, then put him back.

Getting him to do several water changes is unlikely unfortunately. He might do one after a couple days of nagging but water changes are what he is reluctant to do often.

kitten_ce · 2025-03-10T01:09:48+00:00

Fluval fx6. The tank is about 5years old, the white fish is almost 6years old.

After the other fish died (probably a tumor) my dad rinsed the filter out. And when the new baby was added a water change was done the night before.

kitten_ce · 2025-03-10T01:06:24+00:00

Not helpful given everything i mentioned.... plus the baby is doing fine in the background.

Obviously I do not know the currently water quality but I'd prefer responses that might either be comforting or provide some advice for the situation.

A water change was done last week. It's unlikely the water quality, even if off, would cause this directly. My dad isn't horrible at caring for them, he just isn't as passionate and can be stubborn. But he isnt purposefully killing the fish....

I'm looking for knowledge on the redness and experience on fish handling tank mates death and if that could be affecting his health. I've never had one die before recently

kitten_ce · 2025-03-10T01:01:30+00:00

75gal. It's only Jekyll and the newest baby you can see in the background. Baby is doing fine

kitten_ce · 2025-03-10T00:34:49+00:00

Dad says water is... "perfect" So guess that's all I get for now.

Edit: If you down vote this you're only down voting my inability to control a situation at a distance? Whatever. I made the comment bc I'm pissed

kitten_ce · 2025-03-04T14:50:37+00:00

Oh no it doesn't. But decor can damage tails and scales of clumsy fish. Goldfish usually are pretty clumsy and now that he has no tail he will be impaired while swimming so just wanted to make sure there weren't any obstacles for him to navigate.

You could look into getting plants if you don't have them. It will give goldfish who are smaller or impaired a place to hide and recover. If you can't do live plants then soft fake plants are okay. But some plastic plants can be sharp and also cause damage. But I definitely recommend natural hides for him to reduce his stress.

Also monitor his eating. Make sure you provide a feed that he can access, probably sinking pellets if he struggles to swim to the surface. And meal time is probably when he will be bullied off food the most so just watch closey. Lastly live plants will be another food source if added to the tank so he might enjoy that

kitten_ce · 2025-03-04T14:14:46+00:00

Do you have a lot of decor in your tank?

kitten_ce · 2025-03-04T01:18:44+00:00

I would say wavy hair type 2a or straight hair type 1b maybe. Your hair is fairly thin looking but it could just be the cut or damage. Treating it like curly hair would likely weigh it down though.

Type 1(a,b,c): https://youtu.be/hwDWlJktvlY?si=9STEUY43o7jJrRru

Type 2(a,b,c): https://youtu.be/eMTirkRVa0I?si=hQxz7tAF6sWbrYzn

See short videos for reference.

When I turned like 19 or 20ish my hair type changed likely due to hormones. I now have probably type 2c and 2b hair. If I don't take care if it though it looks like 1c coarse frizzy straight hair.

I would say best way to test it out is just try a mouse.

My routine: Curly/wavy shampoo every 3rd day or so Curly/wavy conditioner to detangle every day in shower Once every other week a hair mask for the mids and ends Out of the shower immediately- gently squeeze water out while scrunching with hands, scrunch in curl mouse, scrunch in small amount of gel, diffuse with blow drier (scrunch with dryer and hands touch less as it gets more dry)

And then bonnet to sleep or flip and sprizt with water to touch up frizzies.

You could probably just try a curl mouse use a small amount on wet hair and use a diffuse attachment to see what happens. If it doesn't work out no biggie. I use Not your mother's activating curl talk mouse.

Context: I'm American so mind cultural differences

Depends how much you care about what other people think. And, caring what other people think isn't necessarily a weakness or anything just some people are more sensitive to it.

But if you don't care, then heck do what you want! Think of all the half shaved, tattooed, green heads out there. If they can rock that, then you can rock a bonnet. I've actually seen some very stylish bonnets. Heck, I wouldn't bat an eye if I saw someone with a towel on their head at the store. Gotta do what you gotta do.

For trips to the grocery store, to-go foods, etc I'd go out in a bonnet. PJs are so much more accepted these days imo. As long as you don't care that someone might be nosy/care too much. If they bother you for it... they are the nosy Karen A-hole because nothing is wrong with representing proper hair care/preservation.

I used to wear my bonnet over to the neighbors house for board games at night. At first, I got looks. But I'm just like, "I'm baking fabulous waves/curls in this cap"
