  • When making beaded jewelry to sell, what metal holds up best without tarnishing? For charms,wire,findings etc ?

    Hello,

    So I haven’t sold my jewelry in a while, i put everything on hold for a while and Im trying to pick everything back up to make Some extra income. a lot of my earrings and necklaces i made a couple years ago have changed colors and need swapped out such as clasps, wires,pendants etc. i usually buy my supplies from a jewelry expo and the findings aren’t labeled so I need to be more careful and know what im buying.  I know the obvious of course-925 Sterling silver and gold. (Which i will definitely use down the road when i have the money, but it’s too pricey to do everything in that unfortunately) so... i would like to know what other metals are good and will hold up over time. I use very nice semi precious gemstones i have put a lot of money into over the years so i would like my jewelry to hold up over time as the beads do. I Would appreciate any advice and also if you know of places to order good quality supplies at good prices that would be helpful as well. Thanks so much!

  • My pharmacist gave me the wrong medication, can/should I sue?

    My pharmacist, which is part of my hmo health insurance, called to tell me I’ve been taking the wrong medication. The label is written as the dr wrote my script but its the wrong pain medicine. I had been emailing my dr saying that I dont feel like the medicine is lasting long enough because Ive been in a lot of pain and can’t sleep. Both the medications are in the same class of drugs. But the one i was taking works for me and the other one barely works for a short period, it also makes my legs hurt more and makes me itchy. Im not sure if thats enough grounds to sue or not.

  • Itty bitty baby snapping turtle questions?

    When I got home about 3 or 4 days ago I realized there was this baby turtle in my fish tank! My genius boyfriend and our roommate found a baby snapper its 3" at most.they found it under a car IN their mechanic shop.So they decided to bring it home and let it live with my fish and critters. I don't believe anyone should take a wild animal home to stick into a tank, and I don't think turtles can just live in water bc their shells get soft???so i put him in a glass tank half land half water tonight but im still really unsure,does it grow according to the size of its captivity?but most of all should i let it go? somewhere near a creek? I don't know where it came from bc there isn't much around there but businesses. with it being so young would it even survive with out a mother? and we have had him for 4 days so would he go into shock and not be able to be a normal and catch food to survive,especially without a mom or fellow turtle to help him?and we live in va and the weather just went from hot to cold in a week,so my concern is if he will still survive?or should we keep him til it gets warmer outside and let him go then.Any good advice would be grateful!thank you

  • strip club phobia/anxiety?

    It started about 5-6 yrs ago. I was in a long term relationship, when his sister was getting married my boyfriend went to the strip club just like all guys do. when i knew he was going i felt sick and had anxiety attack,and i cried the whole time,when he got home he told me he had a lap dance! i didnt want to touch him for days thats not ok to me, just because its inside a club its ok in society, if there was a girl in our house doing it i would break it off. eventually after a week maybe i was calmer about it....my next boyfriend also long term had never been and doesnt want to even if he had a bachlor party. Im Now w/a different guy-long term, now years later...today. Im faced again. this time im invited to go w my boyfriend and his coworkers, then next week is a bachlor party. So now im kind of overwhelmed. I dont like any of those girls **** and whatever in his face,and him staring at them,i dont know what to do, and i think 99% of my responses will say im being ridiculous. he always says he's broke and cant pay the tab or help me with anything,no flowers,bday gifts,NADA, but he's going to give $ to a bunch of strippers? 2 weeks in a row. I havent seen him very much either,we live together but he has been going to work then stays there for his own project so i dont see him from 7am til 2 am? so i want to spend time together but cant bc of his project but he will drop anything to go to a strip club. ok here is my issue, should i........... #1 try to distract myself at home freaking out or #2 face it and go check it out so maybe i would feel better and take my anxiety pills, but maybe it will be as bad as i thought? should i stay or should i go? have only like 4-5 hrs to make a decision,help! please

  • boyfriend's ex keeps calling/texting him?

    sorry this is so- longg but if you have an opinion please help me! here's the issue...my boyfriend's ex has been calling and texting him. I have been dating my current bf for almost a year. he knows it bothers me that she calls and leaves texts. he said he didnt want anything to do with her and never talks to her. I have talked to her SEVERAL times on how uncomfortable it made me feel. I have been pretty nice about it, asking her to stop call and texting my bf's for years, but she continues to do it. she is very sleezy and has slept with EVERY guy in town, and i live in a large population area. i have had been in about 5 relationships that were all serious long term. 4 out of 5 of the guys i have been with have all slept with her (which i had no idea of until later on in my relationships) her messages i feel are disrespectful, asking my bf to go out to dinner,movie,drinks. of course i am never invited. and as far as i know he doesnt see her and has no interest to b/c he knows i dont like her or trust her. she has no girlfriends because she sneaks around flirting with every girl's boyfriend. i have explained her way too many times how she needs to take a step back and realize what she's doing is wrong and that every girl i know has had the same issues with her flirting or trying to get with unavailable guys. my biggest concern is that a few years ago she had come to my (now ex boyfriend) house where i lived as well, for a party. of course she was his first and only girlfriend before me. i didnt like her at all but i get along with everyone and give them the benefit of the doubt. i then realized my bf and her were talking alone seperate from the party,when i approached them she walked away and not past me but through the back door where nobody goes to avoid me. i later found out that she was confessing her love for him and trying to beg him to get back with her, and found out that she kissed my (ex)boyfriend. in my house. She just split up with her boyfriend and texted my boyfriend yesterday saying "im in deep need of having drinks,what are you doing?im single now." she knows we live together and i think she does it just to make me upset and then the other day i answered when she called and finally blew up on her (which i have never done before, its just not my nature) i have no idea what to do, she caused so many problems with my ex and i's relationship. im not sure what to do about it anymore. I started to take anxiety medications about 5 years ago because everytime i am in a relationship she tries to wreck it and makes me so upset. i dont trust her at all, she does this to every girl i know.PLEASE help :(
