This year was my second visit to Art Omi. The first visit was 5 years ago, right in the height of…read moreof the pandemic. (Perfect place to explore since it's all outdoors). We were very lucky to get a perfect bright sunny day and had a wonderful time exploring everything. The pieces are all very different - ranging from a giant tombstone-esque grocery list to a series of ladders that lead to an underground tunnel. Some pieces you can touch and are interactive, some aren't - so make sure to pay attention to the signage.

I've been donating platelets and plasma to the Red Cross for more than a year. I always go to the…read morecenter on Everett Road, which is generally a bit busy.There's a good size staff. They're all very capable and very nice. The donors are nice, too. Donating platelets -- and sometimes plasma too-- is a time consuming process. It takes 2-3 hours. Platelets are cell fragments needed to stop bleeding. Plasma is the liquid part of the blood. Together, they help people who are battling cancer. Having lost friends to cancer, I donate in order to help. My donations have been sent to hospitals across the country. I can track where they went through the Red Cross app. The Red Cross doesn't pay donors but they can offer $10 store coupons and fun merch. For instance, today was free beach towel day. They seem to be very popular. Regardless, I think most of the donors would give without coupons and freebies. Everyone has lost someone to cancer and it's touching to hear their stories about how they've been moved to donate.

I was stopped during the last donation without any excuse. People were staring and when my wife…read morecalled the red cross offices (we always donate together and she was accepted) and they told her that I had donated 6 times already this year. They don't accept donors to donate more than 6 times a year, but boy did i feel like a criminal, when I was told that could not donate. In addition, twice in the past the staff were not able to finish the donation due to inability to find a vain. Since then I warn the staff to get someone with experience and they comply. I don't think that the staff is very good, other than the supervisor. I guess that the capable ones work in better places. Also they lost my records from the past. I was a donor in the US Army but was stopped from donating due to mad cow disease, because I had served overseas for more than three years. S I started over. These idiots will not stop me from donating. It is bigger than them.

Paul Truman Fine Jewelers is a true gem. Paul and Debbie…read morewere very patient and kind as I needed to have 2 rings resized, one had to be cut off my finger! - how embarrassing- Safe to say, my wedding ring and the beautiful anniversary ring Paul Truman crafted, dazzle my everyday life now. This diamond and ruby 40th anniversary band is so gorgeous! It looks like a crown for my finger and I enjoy seeing it 40 times a day. My loving husband stopped into Paul's store in Albany, NY, on his lunch breaks and over a few years, gifted me some pairs of diamond, and diamond and sapphire earrings, vintage and modern. There is something for every budget, and the place is as you might expect, is dazzling. Debbie was most helpful and friendly with a quote and reworking a pair of earrings I had laying in my jewelry box for years. I love wearing them again. Thanks Paul and Debbie, for making me look and feel great!

I was visiting Albany for the day and realized my new watch needed a safety chain added. I stopped…read moreby Truman Jewelers in the hope they might be able to accommodate me on a very tight time table. Megan Olson, one of the in-house jewelers, quickly assessed my need and suggested a custom solution which could be constructed that afternoon. She showed me the materials, explained how she would connect the safety and carefully measured so it would fit securely. The price was very reasonable. The work was completed within the hour. I've been wearing the watch for almost a month since the work was done and the safety is very secure and works perfectly! I was pleasantly surprised they could accommodate an out of town walk-in customer and accept a rush job so late in the day. The watch safety provided peace of mind during the rest of my travels. My only regret is that Truman Jewelers is not located in my home state! My trusted local jeweler retired and I wish I could find a company like Truman's in my area to replace my past jeweler. I value professionalism, excellent workmanship, good value and being treated with friendly courtesy. Truman Jewelers delivered all of that and more. Even more impressive since they knew I was a visitor and wasn't a potential long term customer!
