  Where can I find garnet gauges?

  1 0 I'd try Etsy, with so many custom/handmade jewelers on the site, I'm sure you could find someone to make some. TKN answered in Other - Style & Beauty 2 months ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  Gifts for European couchsurfing hosts?

  2 0 I did some couchsurfing when I was in France and Germany in 2011. I didn't bring gifts from the US, instead I would do something like take them out for a meal. I was backpacking, so I didn't have the space to bring things along! For my host in Paris, after a long evening talking I found out that she was in the US for one year a few decades ago. I asked her if there was anything that she would eat in the US that she wasn't able to get in Paris and missed. She said cheesecake! So I made her a cheesecake the next day and she was elated when she came home to find it in her fridge. I hope you have a good experience with couchsurfing! I've had a wonderful time hosting and while staying with other people. There is nothing as wonderful as having a local to show you around the city they live in.

  0 0 Thank you for all the helpful links! (I had found a couple of those sites on my own, but they did seem terribly out of date, as you noted) TKN commented 3 months ago

  2 0 Also, I think I might ask my doctor the next time I'm in for a prescription for a back up to keep at home. I'm fairly sure it would be free with a prescription and my health insurance. Even if I don't end up needing it, I do have two teenage sisters and plenty of single friends. TKN commented 3 months ago

  1 0 Sorry my initial question was so short and incomplete, it was done on a cell phone in a hurry. I'm not a minor, and I have health insurance, so I feel somewhat bad about using planned parenthood. I'm happy to pay for it, I just didn't want to pay a company a ridiculous mark up so they could make tons of money because a condom failed! So, I called around to 8 local places to see if they carried it and how much it costs. Here is a list that I hope saves someone time in the future! However different areas of the city or state might have different results, but hopefully this can be a guideline for where to look first for affordable Plan B or the generic version. These prices were quoted by a pharmacy employee over the phone, the only one I actually checked in person was QFC. QFC - $22(generic) Safeway - $36.99(generic) $43.99(Plan B) Rite aid - $39.99(generic) $49.99(Plan B) Top food & Drug - $47.19(Plan B) Target - $48.99(Plan B) Fred Meyer - $50(Plan B) Walgreens - $50(generic) $55(Plan B) Bartells - $54.74(Plan B) I appreciate everyone who took the time to answer, Thank you!
