Hey all! Just got proposed to recently and now I’m looking to get the ring insured. This is all new to me so I’m trying to figure out where to go to get it appraised, or at least some trusted options to choose from.
I live in Hyattsville so any recommendations on DC or MD are welcomed! 🙏🏾
Hi all!
I just got engaged last week so not only am I new to wearing an engagement ring, I’m also new to rings in general.
So just looking for general advice/tips/suggestions on things I should avoid or should try to do now that I’m wearing this big ol expensive rock everyday lol. No tip can be too obvious I promise.
Some details in the ring incase it needs special care:
- 2.5 ct princess cut
- 1.5mm (maybe 2mm?) platinum band with diamonds
- tulip basket
Also any specific tips on keeping it from spinning would be great too. I’m pretty sure it’s my size because I have to put in effort to take it off (unless my hand is wet) BUT it does spin pretty freely while on my finger.
Do people typically make lunch and dinner reservations while on vacation here? Or at least pic out where they want to eat in advance? Or do you just go with the flow??
I ask because from what I’m reading it seems to be different then the many places I’ve been to in Europe where (at least for us) always making dinner and usually lunch reservations was a standard.
But I find here not only is it harder to make reservations, but there are also much more options in a small area; and again, it just feels like most people don’t do this here.
Just curious to see how most people planned out their meals when visiting Tokyo and Osaka.
Me and my bf share a couples account. Thus far I’ve kept it only on my phone and done everything there. But now I want him to get more involved in posting videos as well
Might it cause us some problems if we log into the same account from two different phones? We live together so the main location would be the same, but we do work in different areas though.
Would it make a difference if we made sure we were never using it at the same time?
I see lots of posts of people getting shadow banned or denied from joining creator programs so just wanna make sure we’re not doing anything that could hurt us in the long run.
I'm trying to find a few places to get drinks after dinner that have an outdoor rooftop view in Tokyo or Osaka but every place I've found seems to require a reservation, some that are already booked up for next month.
Any recommendations for nice rooftops to grab a drink in the evening (or any time of day at this point) in Tokyo or Osaka where I don't need to make a reservation in advance?
Made this account almost exactly a week ago, and minus the one outlier (LOL idk) melt of my videos are getting views in the 100s-low 1000 range. I get a decent amount of likes relative to views.. I think? But I don’t feel like I’m getting many followers.
Just curious if this is a normal start in regard to views, likes, follows, etc. Or am I moving slower than expected for being a week in?
They even had the real power rangers show up!!

I used to play Maple Story heavy around 2010 for a few years and then stopped and never went back. I recently got the urge to start playing again randomly but after some quick research it seems like the game is VERY different from what it used to be.. and I still cant tell if it’s for better or for worse lol. But then I also saw some reports that theres a Classic version supposedly coming out that is supposed to be very similar to probably the version I was most familiar with.
So I’m debating whether I should just wait for the Classic version to release… at some point, or should I just jump in and try this new current version? I’m just afraid this new version is gonna be TOO different from what I remember and it’s gonna turn me off, and then I wont even be interested anymore when Classic comes out.
How big is the difference between this current version and the old school, and would an OG player be able to adapt, or even enjoy it?
Anyone know somewhere in the DMV where I can get traditional Indian attire for a wedding, particularly a two piece lehenga?
My bf is doing a beast boy cosplay but the bodysuit is pretty tight and revealing in the private area lol. What types of shorts do men typically wear with these types of cosplays to hide themselves a bit? Or are there options better than just shorts?
Hello!
I work in an outpatient clinic and have been asked by my department chair to start keeping track of the patients I see in clinic. I wasn’t given any specific parameters to include but I assume something along the lines of: reason for visit, clinical interventions, and main indications would be sufficient.
I wanted to see if anyone has an excel (or other) template that they have been using that they could share with me? I’m not too great (aka horrible) with excel and i’m actually months behind on patients lol so any help or advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks :(
I’m looking to start a TikTok and IG account for anime/gaming/travel. I already have old accounts that I used for investing/finance education that have a few followers but little interaction because I stopped using them a good while ago.
Should I just rename these account so I start with at least a tiny following, even though the content is different? Or is it better to start from scratch?
Hello all!
Reddit has been super helpful to me thus far in planning this trip, but hopefully this is the last time I'll have to post about it lol. I finally feel good enough about my itinerary as a whole to post on here asking for some final tips and suggestions on it as a whole. I’m doing this trip with my boyfriend (early 30s) and we’ve both been dying to come to Japan forever since we’re huge anime and gaming fans. I also really love to eat and shop.
I’m looking for general suggestions on improving my itinerary. Activities or areas that are essentially duplicates I can get rid of? Days that are too packed or days that can maybe fit something else? Day layouts that just don’t make sense? Things I’m missing that I should try to fit in?

I have narrowed down 1 trillion great hotels to 4… but now I’m stuck lol.
It will be 2 people per room. We would like a hotel that’s very close in walking distance to not only the train but also a short trip to bars, restaurants, shops, etc… basically near the liveliness. Room size matters in a sense, but as long as it’s not a literal closet size, I’ll be okay.
The final 4 hotels feel very similar to me, even within price so if anyone could share personal experiences or opinions that would be super helpful so I can finally book 🙂
- Bridge Hotel Shinsaibashi
- Fairfield by Marriott Osaka Namba
- Hotel the Flag Shinsaibashi
- Dotonbori Crystal Exe Hotel
Also… separate, but kind of related? Any recommendations for restaurants in/near Namba or Shinsaibashi that actually take reservations lol?
I love bottomless brunch, but sometimes I’m not in the mood for loud music, dancing, and party vibes. Sometimes I just wanna drink and eat alot while having a conversation where I don’t have to yell. Im more than fine with music, just not at a deafening level or in a party atmosphere lol.
So Any recommendations for places like that in/near Hyattsville?
I’m wearing this dress to a formal wedding next weekend which is dark blue with sliver / light blue shimmery trimmings throughout. I’m doing silver/white gold jewelry as well as some with baby blue stones. My heels are a satin light blue.
I don’t wear makeup but I do wear lipstick and never shy from a bright color. I’m really struggling with what color lips to do with this though.
Navy blue? Might be too dark as it’s a summer daytime wedding.
Baby blue? Might not look good on my lips
Neutral? Dark or light? Kinda boring but maybe a dark blue lip lined? Idk.
Something else I didn’t think of?

Going to Japan (Tokyo & Osaka) in August and working on my itinerary. My Tokyo itinerary is coming along nicely but I feel like I'm struggling a lot more with Osaka so looking for some opinions/guidance. Would also appreciate any recommendations on hotels (or at least neighborhood to look at) based on this itinerary.
My and my bf are early 30s and are very big into anime and gaming, and also want to go out to some clubs/bars while there. I'm also a big shopper and we of course love to eat.
This is what I have so far:
August 12^(th)
Arrive in Osaka early AM via train
Day -- Umeda/ Nakazakicho --
Evening
August 13^(th)
August 14^(th)
Evening
August 15^(th)
Sunday August 16^(th)
I recently posted my Tokyo itinerary in r/japantravel and got some helpful feedback that took me back to the drawing board a bit. So before I finalize that and get started on the Osaka part of my trip, I wanted to ask some question to help me out a bit.
Oops this ended up being more questions than I anticipated lol, but even just answering one would helpful. So thanks in advance!
