Really liked your point re: you’re never too good to work retail. Yes to that. Some of the most fun jobs I have had were retail (and some of the most wretched, sure). Years ago I took a part time job renting movies for a small indie company, and really enjoyed most of it. It was just interesting and busy enough, and

Customers who are venting, or over the top with their drama, or just...angry can sometimes get a grip if you are calm, attentive, and a higher authority than the clerk they’ve already raked over. I really liked the point that their anger may have nothing to do with you, or even their experience in your store. It has

A few years back, I took my older Mercedes sedan in to get new tires- and when I picked it up, the hubcaps were missing. As in, certainly not on the car, and apparently not in the shop, either. It took a few days for the shop to replace them, but replace them they did.

Yes, especially to your second point- a ticked off customer. Listen, and then say “I’m sorry that happened.” It deflates about 98% of them, they just want to be heard- without in any way locking you into fixing their problem, which may not be fixable.

Metro PCS is running off of T Mobile- they can handle the customers.

Yes, rubies are red sapphires. They are both corundum- any color other than red is a sapphire.

You could go for a non blue sapphire...some Ceylon sapphires have a truly lovely blue lavender color. There are also yellows, and pinks in great tones- and green, but it always looks a bit muddy to me. Red sapphires are rubies, though.

In all honesty, you will not get back your investment on any stone under one carat, ever.

People used to think it was bad luck, to buy a used ring. (Hah)

Yes to this...mine is an aquamarine, with side set sapphires.

They are very possibly old European cut diamonds. You could clean them up...soak them in a glass with a bit of dishwashing detergent, warm water, and a dash of ammonia. Then gently but throughly brush them clean with a soft toothbrush. You want to be gentle because of the settings more than the stones, settings can

I think Amazon- on the non warehouse level, warehouse sucks- is very difficult for people because no one will tell you to work 60 hours. It is a *very* self directed workplace. No one will tell you to work 60 hours, and no one will tell you not to. There is no whistle to send you to lunch, or recess, or home...but

They like Trump because they want to BE Trump. They want to say racist, sexist horrible stuff...and have a reality TV show for it. They want to be in a universe where a white guy who inherited money and bankrupted repeatedly, is the most winner guy ever.

Or, Mr Fist Billionaire in Rap.

When he says “impacted” he doesn’t mean *his* face.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” ...To impose means to force something

I am continually amazed by candidates who promise something that a President -by himself- cannot possibly deliver. You know who really changed things, really delivered on change? LBJ. And he was never elected, but became President after JFK’s assassination. LBJ steamrollered both the House and the Senate for votes,

Yes. I personally roll my eyes at the “But I will do more for you than any other candidate!” It is both totally vague and condescending. This is what-mostly- older white male candidates have been saying my whole life- that any decisions about race should *naturally* be made by them. And as a woman, I can see how that
