Jewelers trying on MY ring?
My boyfriend bought me a beautiful Engagement Ring. He took it to a professional jeweler to get an appraisal. The girl at the counter tried it on, on her left ring finger and said “Oh what a gorgeous stone!” Then a few days later, he took it to a different, still professional jeweler to get it sized down for me. Again, a counter girl put it on her left ring finger and said “That’s a beautiful ring!” Ok. They’re complimenting the ring. Great. BUT, does anyone else believe this is HIGHLY tacky and VERY VERY unprofessional? I wasn’t there either time but when my boyfriend told me, I was ticked. I once worked in a jewelry store and I would never have dained to try on someone else’s jewelry.
Anyone else think it’s unprofessional?
Also, I haven’t even gotten to see or try on the ring myself. So maybe that’s my bone of contention? Lol
yep …. very unprofessional .. i would get the shits as well
especially since engagement and Wedding Rings are very personal and hold a lot of meaning to the owner!

Find A Good Roof Companyto Get Tax Credits
A Roof Agency Can Do So Much More Than Simple Repairs
I own a downtown Los Angeles commercial building that has been changed into lots of apartments. Many of my tenants in the past had just one complaint about living there, and that was the fact that there were not many places to hang out with nature. Until, that is, I got this roof company to redesign the roof space into a gorgeous green roof.
Those residing in southern California know about many of the great loft spaces that can be rented in Los Angeles. I used to constantly have one or two people interested in leasing one of my studio apartments, but now I have got at least thirty people just waiting in line to rent from me. This is mainly because of the green roof I had a roof agency retrofit my building with.
Those of you who are unfamiliar with what a green roof is could be astonished that you can actually put what amounts to a mini park on the roof of a building. Thats right, this roof agency I called merely for a simple roof repair was telling me about how a green roof would not only save on utility expenses, but would also permit me to take advantage of tax credits.
Recently the Federal Government passed many economic stimulus packages and there was this tax credit that building owners could get for doing environmentally appealing remodeling that conforms to Energy Star rules. This tax credit went a long way toward paying for the entire remodeling project, but with the utility savings the whole project is going to be paid for in no time anyway.
With the supplementary space to the building I now have a better appraisal and I can charge more for rent. Between the cash savings and the added revenue, the roof company that did the green roof has helped me out so much that I think I’m going to redesign the other building I have before the tax credit expires.
A green roof cannot simply be designed for buildings with flat commercial roofs; they can also be designed for residential applications. If you wish to find a roof agency to design a green roof for you then it shouldn’t be that hard, particularly in Southern California.
When you are looking for a roof company I suggest that you go to the State of Californians website. They offer tips on how to get a competent state licensed general contractor. There are recommendations on there that can help people protect themselves from dishonest con men that may try to take your cash and not even do any work for you.
If you decide to use environmentally helpful materials to take advantage of the Federal Governments tax credits, I propose you talk to your tax company about the details. A few of the tax credits demand that the project be certified to be eligible.
I could not be more pleased with the roof company I got to do the green roof, and I’m sure with just minimal research you’ll find the best roof company for you as well.
