Raffling off 8 total tickets sold in pairs of 2 — so 4 total sets.
Please add your favorite golf memory or why you’d like them and I’ll DM my favorite responses at 12PM today.
Update: all claimed
I got a CAD done with my partner involved. It’s essentially exactly what they want. However, the setting cost seems exuberantly high considering it’s a relatively simple design with only one center stone.
For further context, I think I messed up in my understanding of the engagement ring process. Basically, I thought that I had to put a deposit down on the stone in order for them to mock up a CAD to get an accurate quote. I guess I should have just told them to wait if I wasn’t sure of their in-store quote? In-store, they estimated $ 2.1k for the setting, but once I got the cad back it was actually 2.5k for the setting.
I think that I should have talked to more jewelers before putting down a deposit on the diamond.
Anyway, I don’t know what to do. I feel like the process is moving fast. I already put down a deposit on the stone, and I need to tell the current jeweler if I want to go forward and make a wax mock up or not.
The local jeweler offers a lifetime warranty, including yearly cleanings, sizing and repair.
Band = 2500 14k gold at 6.025 grams
Stone = lab grown diamond 2.56 K VVS2 E color

Ideas on how to lock my bike to this style of rack? They don’t offer any alternatives in my building
I bought a new ebike and just went for a 24 mi dusk/night ride for my second ride on my bike. I bought BMX mesh top, full face helmet, actual motorcycle pants with pads and my docs.
Is this overkill and do I look like a doofus? Maybe.
But I like to ride fast and I live in a major city. I ride in unprotected lanes next to cars who are also going the same speed as me.
All I can say is I feel very safe!!
I’ve been reading about all the shipping mishaps on here.
Y’all my label got ruined in shipping. Pray for my unbotched scratch free bike 😭
(This post is somewhat sarcasm and a joke but I am genuinely scared to see what it looks like)
Not sure if this is the right place but hopefully someone can give me some perspective.
I relocated to a “hilly” city in the PNW of USA, comparatively to the flat lands of IL and I own a regular pedal bicycle.
I LOVE to scoot around on the Lime scooters. I like that I can “keep up” with traffic better which means cars are less likely to over take me and squeeze me out.
Realistically, could I up my stamina and fitness to bike faster and get better at hills — yes. Do I have the mental willpower and time to put into that? Not really.
So this lead me to think about maybe getting an ebike, <50cc moped or full on small motorcycle. Also nowadays, a good quality e-bike can EASILY run you more than a simple moped.
Some limitations for a moped or motorcycle are:
- I’d have to rely on street parking
- we have rainy wet winters
- I’d need to train and pass a motorcycle exam (for 50cc+) but have no bike to practice on
- I’m 5ft with a 28” inseam so I’m limited to bike sizing which makes buying used more difficult
- I don’t have any riding buddies or riding friends. I’d be learning on my own so I’d have a bigger learning curve.
Curious to know what made you pull the trigger on a scooter vs e-bike or motorcycle. Thanks!
Edit: I’ve been properly educated on a moped vs scooter. So when I said moped above, I really meant a small 49cc scooter.
