Wait, you lost it because it was loose? It just fell off without you realizing it? This was a fear I had after losing weight

I lost my wedding band earlier this week. Knew it was a little loose but always put off taking it in to get resized. So pissed at myself.

I think this was around 2009. I was out on the lake getting pulled behind a boat on a tube, and my ring slipped off when I was trying to climb back on after being thrown. One of the guys with us dove straight down and somehow found it on the first try. The water was super murky and it was probably 10 or 12 feet deep, so it was pretty damn impressive.
Of course, I ended up getting divorced anyway, but I still have the ring. So if anyone needs a size 10 Cartier white gold Love ring, let me know.

I think I’m just going to save it for my daughters(13/18). I don’t know. Not expecting the to use it for a future husband with the bad mojo attached, but maybe they’ll want it anyway, maybe resize it?

@northsouthdenimguy we had Laura’s engagement ring redesigned with a few smaller diamonds replaced with larger ones, yellow gold to platinum, and a anniversary band made that interlocked with the wedding band and engagement ring.
The gold of the old bands was melted down with the smaller diamonds being used and made into rings for both of our daughters.

@northsouthdenimguy @goosehd yeah that makes a lot of sense. In my family we have all sorts of stories of one person's earring becoming someone else's heirloom pendant.

I forgot my ring by the pool at a hotel in Madeira during one of our sales meetings. We went for a swim at 4am after a few drinks and I thought I should deposit the ring on a sun lounger instead of losing it in the pool.
Got up the next morning and was very relieved when the nice lady at reception told me that a member of the hotel staff had found it.

@northsouthdenimguy this gave me a good laugh tonight
Appreciate everyone letting me know I'm not alone in misplacing this. Thanks guys.
@Go-For-Chill I had it resized once when we fird bought our rings but it was still just big enough to slide down my finger with wet hands.

Very cool, that’s a great idea. My mom has done some really meaningful things with different pieces over the years. Most recently, she had necklaces made for my sister and all of her daughters in law.
“Funny” story. Back when the economy crashed(08’) and we were basically broke, my ex wife went to one of those gold parties and brought a bunch of heavy pieces, including a bracelet that was basically a solid gold Rolex Presidential style, plus several rings and necklaces with different precious gemstones. The stones were small, but still valuable and high quality.
They weigh the gold and are supposed to give you the stones back. Of course, after liquoring her up, they did not return any of the stones to my ex wife and then denied they had taken them at all. I can only imagine how many other people they did that to.

little love for Rant King:

And then he took the Saudi money.

This post is deleted!

@Xavras All those A list stand ups attending that Riyadh comedy show was a bummer but hard to hold judgment against Saudi money these days

IMO the rant king will always be this guy (no offense, Sam Kinison).
-
@mclaincausey You’re absolutely right. If only he and Sam Kinison were alive today.

I'm on the forum 99% of the time at work on downtime (2nd screen, i probably log on and off 100x a day with how my brain works). Sometime last week my work's IP address got blackballed from the forum. The crew and @goosehd have been trying to help, but to no avail. My only forum access is then my phone, which gets really slow internet reception in the office.
My only logical next step is to contact our offsite IT department which takes a managers approval, and say "my non work related clothing forum is inaccessible right now while I'm at the office, and I'm having to work instead. Can you look into it?".
rock and hard place much?

I do enjoy watching the winter Olympics, showing off what the athletes have trained for and vie for, for their endeavor. What I find disturbing is when an athlete has errors or mistakes, and then walks off the arena crying, and not acknowledging the crowd that is there to support them.
