Zennie 0 #26 October 28, 2002 Quote Don't dwell in the past. I don't think you need some stupid hunk o' metal to remember the crap you endured. Yeah it won't be around anymore no matter what I do with it. It's a small gold band with a small diamond. Probably not worth all that much. And I'm sort of into symbolism anyway. I can keep it in an envelope in a drawer somewhere until the time is right. Liz always threatened me with divorce if I took up BASE, she hated the idea of me BASE jumping. So I'm still partial to Bridge Day. Or maybe Perrine if I get out there sooner. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pop 0 #28 October 28, 2002 Zennie, you should totaly make a nipple ring out of it. I think that would be a great excuse to show your nipples off in freefall :)7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #29 October 28, 2002 QuoteGreat googly moogly! What's up with all the constant reminders?! Get rid of that thing somehow and move on! Yeah, I agree. Sell it for jump tickets. Don't put so much power over yourself into an object.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slappie 9 #30 October 28, 2002 I don't agree with Jess very often Zennie.. So on this matter I agree get rid of it. Even if it's for a few jump tickets or like you said let it pay for a BASE jump. Whatever you do don't let it hold to much power over your life. Don't give a piece of jewelry that kinda power.. Cya round dood...

jfields 0 #31 October 28, 2002 Zennie, Keep it for now. It will come in handy when you get a friend to pawn it for your bond money when you get arrested on a BASE jump. Just kidding. I think the Bridge Day idea is a really good one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again, it's not like I'm wishing a mal on myself. I might never get rid of the damn thing if I go that route.

Cajones 0 #41 October 28, 2002 Okay... Here's the plan. Pack it in your freebag, and tell your rigger it's his as a gratuity if it's there at the next repack cycle... The laws of physics are strictly enforced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narcimund 0 #44 October 28, 2002 You said there are diamonds involved? A good friend of mine was helping me decide what to do with my old ring. He had the best suggestion for the diamonds: "Glue them to your ex's windshield wipers." In the end I gave the diamonds to a waitress as a tip.

moodyskydiver 0 #46 October 28, 2002 Personally, I'm selling my engagement ring for rig money. But I did toss something that belonged to him while in freefall on my last jump. "...just an earthbound misfit, I." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #47 October 28, 2002 oww, hopefully it wasnt anything heavy... and by belonged to him do you mean STILL his?My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moodyskydiver 0 #48 October 28, 2002 Nah, not heavy at all. It was just a ring that had special meaning to him from his past. Since he wouldnt return all my stuff after we broke up and because he left me in a world of debt, I decided I'd hang on to it for just such a reason. I watched it twinkle and spiral down from about 4K ft into some field next to the DZ. That was a good jump IMHO. "...just an earthbound misfit, I."
