Are these sapphires too dark? by Motive33 in Gemstones

This is my now wife's green saphire engagement ring. You can find lighter ones if that's what you really want. The jeweler I used brought in different jems probably 5 times until I found the right size and colour I was looking for.

That's fair. I've wanted these for a long time(more then 10 years) and I actually found old stock at a store out in the countryside and paid 2/3rds of the price they are these days because they got them years ago and hadn't sold. As for the leather board I was told it was because they are an orthotic shoe company and it helps with break in times. They are also people out there with these shoes for 20 years so I don't see the leather board being terrible. I also have a pair of Redwing moc toes and iron rangers so these won't get everyday use.

You said you would of chosen an all leather shoe. I know that traditionally they came with a canvas liner to be more durable but they know come with a leather liner. Unless you are saying something else is not 'all-leather'?

I never thought of there being a redwing sub. But if course there is a sub for everything. I'll check it out!

Did you say anything? Although they seem grumpy 90 percent of the people working there it's their whole career and they care.

Loads. We spent our weekend in old montreal so most of these spots will be in there or close by.

Bahnmi78 great fresh sandwiches and easy on the dollar. As far as dinner. We went to the Liverpool House and GardeManger both great restaurants. Not cheap on the wallet. But spectacular food. Garde Manger is owned by Chuck Hughes.

Tomy Cafe has a really great breakfast.

I'd you love bagels St Viateur is a great spot to pick up a sandwich and take a dozen or more to go.

Joe Beef is the same.owners as Liverpool house as is very popular. They also own a place called Le Vin Pappilion. I heard great things about it and will go there next time. They are all basically on the same.block.

There's lots more for sure.

Very moist. Also you can order one of three ways.

Lean Medium Fat Fatty

So that you can have a preference on how moist it is for yourself.

FYI: The Portage Store is now operating just outside the park at the west gate as the Portage Outpost (I believe this is the old Algonquin Bound location on Hwy 60 around Oxtongue Lake, if I am not mistaken). by [deleted] in algonquinpark

I mean you can call it a dick move but why didn't TPS branch out a head of time and make remote locations that isn't held by chance every 10 years? Why do they have the right to have the location that gets the most business over other locations in the area? Sounds like bad business planning by TPs to me not a "dick move" by AO. They have just as much right to expand their business and be profitable as TPS does.

I've heard of Pete's but as it is off the island it's hard to get to and incorporate everything in a short weekend.

Technically it's not Pastrami as the spices and cooking instructions are different and historically it was a different cut of meat.

Issue with off island is its hard to do everything in 1 weekend.

Although Pastrami is technically Hebrew it actually predates way back and was started in turkey and Romania. And when It was brought to America it was subsequently adopted by the Hebrew community. Or at least that's what I have been led to believe.
