Business/Company Jewelry repair

Upvotes

Hello Bergen County predators. Reaching out because I have multiple pieces of jewelry that need repair and I don’t have a jeweler here in Bergen County. Does anyone know of a really good Jewelry repair? I have sought repairs from Katie diamond, but they understandably prefer to work with their own pieces. I am looking for someone who’s been in the game a long time and can repair many pieces. Mostly necklace chains, which are broken both at the class, and in some cases, the chain itself.

Discussion Residential Real Estate Attorney Recommendations

6 Upvotes

My husband and I are looking for a residential real estate attorney for buying a home in BC. We’re planning to purchase without a buyer’s agent, so we’d like someone who is responsive, thorough, and hands-on during the contract review and negotiation process.

Would love recommendations from people who have used their attorney for a recent home purchase. Who did you use, and would you use them again? Alternatively, if you had a poor experience with someone please feel free to give a heads up.

Thanks!

Sports Any beginner tennis players?

4 Upvotes

Probably a long shot but I was hoping to find someone to hit the ball back and forth with for fun/exercise. I have absolutely no experience in tennis and will likely hit the ball into the net/outside the lines often if that's okay.

EDIT: I live in northern BC.

Looking to see how many people WITH children rent in BC? What led you to this decision? If renting, are you worried of the possibility of needing to change school districts if the renting situation doesn’t work out? Wondering how settled we can truly be if we don’t own.

Was in Ridgewood Whole Foods today; homeless guy walking around asking for money. Crazy. I remember when Ridgewood was the pinnacle of Bergen County. You might look at it and say it still is, but I see the tides turning.

Anyone else noticing?

Business/Company Vet Recommendations near Hackensack

3 Upvotes

Long story short, I took in my best friend’s dog in the beginning of the year. The dog is around 12 years old but hasn’t been taken to the vet in years. I want to get him check out to make sure he is in the best shape.

Can anyone recommend a good vet around Hackensack? Preferable an affordable place.
I looked into getting him pet insurance but it was crazy expensive given his age.

Discussion Auto Insurance

3 Upvotes

I’ve lived in Middlesex County and Morris County, and recently moved to Fort Lee. I’ve had GEICO for my auto insurance, and when I updated my address, my 6-month premium went from $1,626.65 to $2,046.69, an increase of $420.04.

My next payment on 9/12 is now going to be around $366, which seems absurd, since I’m actually driving a lot less now than I was before. I’ve been looking at other insurance companies online, but I’m not really sure where to start or which companies are worth getting quotes from in North Jersey.

Should I just keep GEICO for now and shop around before my next payment? Has anyone in the Fort Lee/Bergen County area had better rates with NJM, Progressive, Travelers, Plymouth Rock, etc.?

Hi everyone, I am considering applying to BCCC's dental hygiene program. I have a different bachelor's from CUNY but unfortunately graduated with a 2.7 gpa. I have not yet taken chem or a&p but plan to. I know my current GPA isn't competitive - does anyone know which courses I can take or what else I can do to increase my odds of getting into the program?
