wedding rings.

Recommended Posts

Just got to work and almost vomited on my keyboard. Yeah I will definitely be giving my ring to my wife when I gear up.

Woah.

My grandfather was missing a finger and had 2 stumps on his other hand. Not sure how it happened but he was a carpenter so I'm assuming it had something to do with a band saw.

Not sure why I told that story but I like my fingers and it would suck trying to reach for toggles without them! hahaha

The only time I wore a ring while I jumped was when I, after my divorce, wore my engagement ring on a solo (have to check my logbook as I don't think I had my A license just yet) and started pulling to get it off to chuck it to the blue sky. I let it go at about 10K or so. It felt goood to get that out of my life.

That was in 2008. I was at Cross Keys and I was over the golf course. I wonder if anyone ever found it? :D

How much was it worth? Should have sold it and use the money toward jumps, gear, etc. :P

Let's just say I could've paid for the 16 x 32 inground pool I had installed and the 6' solid vinyl fence around my entire backyard. Mucho. My Dad told me I was stupid but to me it was a jinxed piece of jewelry that no one else should have.

I think the best thing was a couple of years ago my xH asked me if I still had it. Told him what I did with it. Priceless. :)

I always tell girls when they're talking about wanting "a rock" from their boyfriend that the size of the diamond he gets for you has nothing to do with the amount of love in his heart for you. As evidenced by my ring vs. getting fucked over. I don't even care if I ever get another engagement ring one day. I'd be thrilled with a plain, gold wedding band (that's what I had when I was married. I picked it out.).

I'm reminded of a line from an Everything But The Girl song about a relationship gone sour: 'the ring that cost more than the car'.

As for letting yours go over a golf course - I wonder if you got a hole in one? :)

The way I golf my bet is a sand trap or a water hazard. :P

If I happened to be a good math/science person I'd try to figure out where it ended up. Altitude, wind speed/direction, weight of the ring, etc. Oh well. At least it's not jinxing someone else's life. :|
