  • Is thin to extremely thick girdle on diamond an issue?

    Weddings - 5 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Hi, I am very interested in purchasing this diamond as i saw it in person, and liked the measurements on it. It makes it look alot bigger than an average 2.0 cushion. My concern is the girdle, table details. Do you thin to extremely thick will be a problem for this stone? Would you not recommend getting this diamond because of this? I am getting a pretty good price on it (10k) and would like an opinion. Overall, the stone looked good when i placed it in a vintage style setting it...but i am just an amateur. Shape: Cushion Carat Weight: 2.01 Color: F Clarity: SI2 Graded By: GIA Cut Grade: Very Good Depth: 57.5% Table: 70% Girdle: Thin to Extremely Thick, Faceted Culet: None Polish: Very Good Symmetry: Good Fluorescence: None Measurements: 8.35 x 7.31 x 4.20 Length / Width Ratio: 1.14
  • should i talk to her in person or write her a letter? please help?

    Friends - 5 hours ago

    Additional Details

    There's this girl who I really like and I'm pretty sure she likes me in the same way. However, I feel like things are going downhill because I haven't really expressed how much I like her. So I've decided to just tell her how I feel (and don't tell me not to, I've made up my mind). Since seeing her is getting harder and harder to do, I've thought about just writing her a letter so I wouldn't be waiting to see her one-on-one. So my question is, which would be better, in person or a letter? I'm a somewhat shy guy so I feel more confident about expressing how much I like her on paper, but not sure if it would be as powerful if I say her in person. Thanks to everyone who answers, I'll really appreciate it. Plus I'll give 10 points to best answer.
  • Is it fair for my friend to hate me because I didn't tell her this?

    Friends - 5 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Okay, before I say anything I do not want people to judge me because of how stupid my Mom is, because it isn't my fault. So my Mom has been to jail over 20 times, (She has got serious issues with identity theft, stealing, bla bla bla) and has cheated on my Dad. My Dad didn't want people to think bad of him so he was a bit stupid and went to the gas station, only to see my friend's aunt there. He told her the whole story, and she seemed like she was okay with it. She said, "Oh yeah yeah we don't hate you, it's Brenda (my Mom) we don't like." Of course she didn't know about the jail and everything until my dad had told her. Anyway, my friend is always asking to hang out, to go out together for Halloween, she is always texting me, whatever. Now I'm the on who has to text HER, and whenever I do she hardly ever responds, and when she does she just says all that she absolutely has to, like when I ask her something. The conversation always stops short. She used to always be hyper and show emotion in her texts, and put smiley faces and all, but not any more. She is never busy. Oh, and did I mention that I didn't tell her about my Mom? She is mad at me about that. I didn't ask her, I just know because I did nothing else and as I said, she is never busy. Please don't tell me to make sure first, because I KNOW. This isn't like her. Is it fair for her to be mad at me over this? Because first of all, it's embarrassing. Second, I've only known her for a year. I think that conversation should be brought up at a more appropriate time. Not within a year. Do you think this is fair? Sorry it's so long.
