What’s a good place to get engagement rings that **arent* diamond?

I’m thinking about proposing to my girl, however we both think diamonds as a standard is stupid and overrated, we both prefer much more colorful and comparatively cheaper gemstones like rubies and sapphires, but I’m having trouble finding a good place for that, I’ve never done this before, any ideas?

My wife found an Emerald ring she really liked from more of a boutique style jewelry store owned by a young woman. It had the vibe of a brick-and-mortar Etsy store. We went to a few old school jewelers and hated the experience. It felt like we were being scammed by some slimy diamond dealer.

I semi-regularly dream that I’m playing a video game, but it usually is a more like a hybrid between controlling a video game character, and being the actual character.

It usually manifests itself as some alternate reality version of WoW (because I’ve played that more than any other game, I assume). Sometimes I even think to myself, “it’s amazing that I’ve never seen this part of WoW before!”

This is slightly extreme. Go tell Europeans in the late 30s and early 40s that there’s no justification for going to war against Germany. There are always exceptions.

You’re being obtuse about the definition of “go to war”. If they invade your country and you fight back you’re still going to war.

Sports subs are the #1 reason I still occasionally check in on Reddit. I’ve removed every non-sports sub. Sports subs can also be sorta “reddity”, but it’s still my favorite place for news and discussion.

I have similar nightsweat problems, so I did something close to this once: www.wikihow.com/Clean-a-Bed-with-Baking-Soda

If you Google “clean mattress with baking soda” you’ll find a bunch of similar recipes. Lots suggest using essential oils, which I didn’t use.

The results were decent when I did it. Definitely de-funkified the mattress a bit, and removed some of the stains. It was hardly like new, but it was definitely better than before.

It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow somebody good.

My wife and I gave up after two episodes. Neither of us have read the books or played the games. We just think the show sucks.

That’s sort of exactly the point. People believe it to be true, and it’s sort of impossible to prove them wrong. Nature vs Nurture still isn’t proven either way, regardless of how strongly you feel one way or the other.

The simple fact that someone believes it’s possible to “make people gay”, almost necessarily leads to them believing there are people out there actively doing it.

Reading this right now, and a little over halfway through. Enjoying it, but it took a long time for me to really sink my teeth into it. It’s a very long book and a slow burn.
