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.

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.
-
I can see why that would be disappointing to watch but I get it. It’s the Olympics and I’m sure they’re dealing with a lot emotionally. It’s not just a game for them, it’s all they think about every day. Personally, I’d be pretty pissed off if I lost because of my own mistake rather than not being the best. That’s way more painful.

@northsouthdenimguy exactly why I’m hesitant to poke the bear.

That's a tough way to come out of the closet

@jordanscollected I'm sure if you stress the importance of the WAYWT thread, they will understand!

I swear voice to text used to pick up the words I use all the time. Now I say Sashiko and it turns into sushi. I say Wesco boots and it changes to West Coast. I type Iron Heart with my fat thumbs and it drops letters like I’ve never written the word before.
I have corrected these terms countless times, probably in the thousands over the years, and my phone still acts like it is the first day on the job. Maybe it is time for an upgrade. Or maybe it is just user error. Either way it is mildly irritating.
