Reply to comment by Ditovontease in Has there ever been anything less effective than these Stop for Pedestrian signs on Cary Street? by Dog_Dad_1989

Omg yes. The sign was down for awhile and they just put it back up. I live across from it and i always think at some point some drunk person is going to get seriously hurt thinking cars will stop. People fly down this street instead of Broad. They just repaved the whole thing like a nice smooth race track! I do not know why no one cares to put a speed bump in.

Reply to where to take gf to get ring finger sized? by [deleted]

My then-fiancée and I went to Schwarzschild Jewelers in Carytown. Told them we were just needing to get our fingers sized and gave them $5 for the few minutes we were there. They didn't try to sell us anything or talk us into anything else and were happy to help.

Then we bought our cheap wedding bands on Amazon. Have a few each to ourselves and swap them out depending on what we're wearing and what we're doing. Trust me, it's just easier that way not getting hung up on an expensive band and what happens if it's lost, misplaced, or stolen.

Got a nice titanium one for myself with our wedding date engraved on the inside for $14 and it's held up pretty well over the past 5 years. Also have a few silicone rings for when I'm doing yardwork or camping or anything else where it could get snagged on something.

Reply to Ged tutoring in Richmond? by Sweet-Caroline-0

HMU if you come up dry here, I may be able to help. I almost failed out of HS, then decided to pursue an engineering degree 10 years later and had to start out with remedial math and worked my way all the way through to my BS in engineering (lots of math).

Yes. They seem very similar. I know she doesn't love the idea of someone new in her home, but she desperately needs some support before the whole house is condemned or worse.. There are also some safety issues, things like no hot water or her shower not working that im concerned with- so im hoping she will trust me enough to let us get her some help. Good luck to you too! Let's all be like Mr. Rodgers and make the neighborhood a great place!

Reply to comment by FromTheIsle in Do landlords have the ability to just trash a tenants property on a designated Patio? by Zodimized

That's the problem, the lease doesn't describe anything, and they saying they'll just take and discard anything without warning the owner of said property. I don't even know when they are going to walk around.

I tried calling to talk to the property manager, but they haven't called me back.

I'd imagine you could just walk into any of the big box jewelry stores (Kay, Zales, etc) and they'd probably be happy to size you. There are also some ring sizers online that you can print out, but just make sure your printer settings are correct!

We just had our bestest boy cremated. FYI it’s more to have them cremated alone and to get the ashes back. The normal price they had was a “mass cremation” and you don’t get the ashes back.
