Reply to Engagement ring by Critical_Whereas_186
Seriously me and my husband got both of ours on Etsy, found two great small businesses and were more than pleased. We didn’t want to spend a lot of money and wanted ethically sourced materials.

From a legal perspective, I think you're correct here but that pedestrian could choose to step into the crosswalk at any point; I think it is totally appropriate to preempt that in a car.
Even if they ARE in the crosswalk and I stop in my car, I would still be blocking the view of them from cars in other lanes; they should be driving slow enough and aware enough to perceive what is happening and react in time.
The onus should be on the folks wandering the city in multi-ton metal boxes to be as safe and cautious as possible.

Sounds like you need to take a chill pill my dude. I'm trying to understand what "the experience" is.

The way I understand it is that it legally establishes right of way to assign fault to the driver in case of an accident.

You want to go to a store and get sized for rings just for fun?

glyphosate shouldn't as sunlight breaks it down.
The big concern once again is spraying it on crops. People ignore that

NO!
From the website under FAQ:
No pets are allowed.

You have to stop if someone is in the crosswalk and not directly in front of you.
For example in Carytown if someone is crossing and in the left lane but you are in the right you can't just wizz by them, you need to stop even though you won't hit them.

Thanks- this has always been a bit confusing to me. I'm not exactly sure why there needs to be a law to stop for people in a crosswalk. If you don't stop when someone is already in the crosswalk, wouldn't you kill them? Which is already against the law. So then that leads me to assume that this law means to stop for people who are about to enter the crosswalk.
Before I get downvoted, I'm just trying to understand the purpose of the law.

that's true. And should be signs to say that.
I don't know the drying time, but it's pretty quick might be 20 minutes. I'll try to remember to test that it's relevant info. Going to be pretty much the drying time of water of course

it can travel decently, it's droplets of water so as far as that goes. But usually the applicators for something like this won't be going more than 5 feet if that. I didn't see what they were using of course, but it would be pretty obvious as there would be large swaths of dead park.
So highly highly unlikely to be an issue.

I would definitely recommend Agape. I was stunned by the quick turnaround, my vet said it could take 3 weeks for them to engrave the urn and have the ashes ready, it ended up being 4 days. After losing my cat, being able to “bring her home” so soon did really help with the grieving process.

Not sure what side of town you are- but you can call senior connections to see about help. They provide in home care, connect you to meals on wheels, and help with so much more.

Reply to Do landlords have the ability to just trash a tenants property on a designated Patio? by Zodimized
depends on lease language. Basically a lease gives you certain rights to the property. You might actually be leasing the patio, or you might have access.
And you may only be leasing certain rights to the patio. Basically, look at the lease language.
But honestly, the easiest thing will be talking to the property manager here, and see if there is even an issue, and if 10 minutes of moving flower pots will solve it

I'm guessing the experience part is getting the personal attention and looking at all the shiny things. I get it.
If you *really* want the experience, find and buy from a locally owned shop. I did that when I got my wife's engagement ring. Ended up getting a really great piece that was surprisingly within budget and left feeling like a million bucks because the buying experience was so good and personal.
