Q: If you recovered the ring from your ex and want to sell it, you should know that you won't get what you paid for it originally. It's unlikely that the store you purchased it from will take it backmost jewelry retailers charge up to 70% above market value, so they only make final salesbut you should still try to find the receipt in order to establish how much you or your ex paid for it in the first place. Even if you purchased the ring from a store that permits returns, you might not be able to take advantage of the policy If you've had the ring for over a year or made a unique engraving on it. If you've ransacked your house and can't find the receipt, don't despair yet! If you remember the store where you got it, you can try calling or visiting the store and seeing if they keep records of past transactions. They should be able to look up your ring by the credit card you used or a serial number carved into it. If you've retained the ring which your ex gave to you, you likely don't have access to the original receipt. You can still get it appraised, though, in order to determine its value. The appraiser won't be able to tell you exactly what your ex paid for the ring, but they can give you an idea of what you can expect to earn from its sale. Stay away from appraisers who offer rock-bottom rates or determine fees based on a percentage of their appraisal value. Go instead for a reputable appraiser that charges by the hour or a single, flat fee. If your ring can't be returned to the original store, you can explore your options at pawn shops and jewelry stores which accept secondhand items. Just make sure not to jump at the first offer: take the ring to several different shops and sellers in order to make sure you get the best price for your piece. Some pawnshops thrive off of dodgy business practices and cheating customers, so make sure you frequent only those places with good customer reviews and Better Business Bureau ratings. The secondhand buyer will only pay a fraction of what was originally spent on the ring, but you can try haggling with the store clerk in order to get a better price. Such clerks are professional deal-makers and are trying to give you as little as possible, so their first offer will probably not be their highest. If you're squeamish about selling in person and don't feel comfortable haggling, you can try selling your ring through auction websites, such as eBay. List a low starting bid but make sure you set a reserve price. This reserve price represents the lowest possible bid you're willing to accept and protects you from a rock-bottom offer getting through. The most important thing to do to make your online auction item look appealing is to provide a good photograph and detailed product description. A dark, grainy picture or skimpy description will make prospective buyers reluctant to take the plunge and make a bid. Also be sure to clean your ring so that it looks its best in photos. Use a solution of warm water and dish soap, soak it for 20-40 minutes, and scrub with a toothbrush. If you can't find a buyer anywhere else, your last resort is to sell it for scrap. You won't get any money for the cut or craftsmanship of the ring, and you'll only receive about 70-80% of its melt value, but the process is extremely simple and and requires minimal effort. Many buyers offer mail-in services to make the process maximally low-effort. Simply order a pre-addressed and paid envelope from the company's website online and then drop it in the mailbox.
A: Find the receipt. Get the ring appraised. Compare offers from secondhand shops which purchase used jewelry. Consider selling online. Send the ring to a wholesale gold buyer.

Q: You can buy a hernia truss or belt at a medical supply store or pharmacy. Your doctor should recommend a specific type of support based on your hernia. In general, these supports are elastic bands or elastic underwear designed to keep the area around the hernia flat. Your doctor should also teach you how to put on the truss, patch or belt. A hernia belt will wrap around your waist, supporting the hernia. A hernia truss is an undergarment that helps keep the hernia in place. Lay on your back so gravity helps push the hernia down. If you're using a belt, be sure to lay down on the belt so you can wrap it around your waist and the hernia. If you're putting on a tress, you can either pull it on while you lay down or stand up if it's easier for you. Wash your hands before you put on the hernia support and make sure the support is clean and dry. Depending on your hernia, you should be able to use your hands and gently push the hernia into your stomach, groin, or belly button. This won't require much maneuvering and it shouldn't hurt. If it hurts when you apply pressure to the hernia, stop and contact your doctor. You don't want to force the hernia into place which could cause more damage to your abdominal muscles. If you're using a band, carefully bring one side of the wrap over your abdomen. Remember, you should be laying on top of it. Bring the other side of the wrap across your abdomen so that it gives snug pressure. This keeps your hernia in place. If you're using a hernia truss, simply pull the undergarment on to keep the hernia situated. Since you should only be using the support with your doctor's recommendation, wear the support for as long as advised. You should understand that pushing the hernia back in will cause temporary relief, but is not a permanent treatment. Your doctor may recommend using a hernia support until you're able to get corrective surgery.
A: Get your supplies. Lay down. Use your hands to reposition the hernia. Apply the support. Wear the support.

Q: Most chairs are made to fit around 90 percent of people but those on the ends of the spectrum may not fit. Since there is no "average" person chairs are made in sizes that can be fully adjustable so that they can be made to fit most people. However, if you are very tall or very short then you may need a custom-made chair. Unless you get a custom-made chair, you should get a fully adjustable chair so that you can adjust it properly for your body. Choosing a chair with controls that are easy to operate while sitting will allow you to adjust your chair completely to your body. You can put yourself in the chair and then adjust all the pieces directly onto your body. Height is a very important factor when adjusting a chair so it is very important that the height of the chair can be adjusted according to your body and needs. Tilt is also important for allowing correct posture while sitting. The curve along the edge will provide more space for your knees and comfort on the backs of your thighs. Additionally, the seat should not put pressure on the back of thighs or knees. You don't want to get all sweaty while working at your desk nor do you want to slide around too much so these factors are important when choosing a chair. Adjusting the backrest to completely support your lower back will allow your to remain pain and injury free. The base should be a five-point system that provides balance and stability while sitting on the chair. The base should be on casters or wheels depending on your preferences. You should be able to easily get in and out of the chair but the armrests should be as close as possible while sitting. The closer your elbows stay to your body while sitting, the more comfortable you will be. Armrests should never hamper your movement while working or typing. Adjustable armrests will allow you to customize their height for your body size and arm length.
A:
Choose the chair made for your body size. Choose a chair with controls that can be easily operated while sitting. Choose a chair with a seat that can be adjusted for height and tilt. Choose a comfortable seat that curves towards the floor at the front edge. Choose a chair with breathable, non-slippery fabric. Choose a chair with a backrest that is shaped to support the lower back and adjustable in height and angle. Choose a chair with a stable five-point base. Choose a chair with armrests that are the right distance apart. Choose a chair with adjustable armrests.
