I LOST MY ENGAGEMENT RING

Question:

Tamara….I lost my engagement ring too.  I consulted a hypnotist who helped me retrace my steps and I found my ring.  As it turns out, I had a dream the night before that I was being commited to an insane asylum.  I hid the ring between my matress and boxspring in my sleep to "protect" it from unscrupulos employees at the asylum.  I hadn’t remembered this dream until the hypnotist walked me thru the whole thing.  I went home and found my ring, just where I had put it. SO, my advice to you is to consult a hypnotist to see if they can help you remember where you put it. Mary

ACK! I wasn’t the one that lost the ring…please don’t scare my fiance! <laughing> I think that was Tara. Tamara …the ring is safe and sound and smiling at me now.

        One very good reason to get a separate rider on your insurance to cover things like engagement rings!  Mine is covered against loss, theft, you-name-it (for around $60/year). Ericka

Good idea! >I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. And to those >guys out there, can you tell me what you would do in this situation

I bought my girlfriend a (inexpensive) ring sometime ago… She lost it in less than 1 day!  :) I’ve just bought the engagement ring, but haven’t given it to her (so don’t tell!). I guess this time I will use SUPER GLUE to avoid any problem.  :) >And if anyone knows a good phycic i’d appreciate that also. >  Tara and Bill   Aug 13, 94

It is behind the old table in the living room!   Hope you can find it!   Ed

This reminds me of the time a buddy in choir got asked why he didn’t wear a wedding ring, even though he was happily married. Turned out he had lost it in the washing machine. . . Pixie

If you are really sure that it is in your apartment, I suggest you throw a "let’s find my diamond" party and invite your most trusted friends and have them help you look.  Right before I went to Europe, I was foolishly playing with my opal and diamond ring–a family heirloom.  It went flying into what I thought was an area about 6 feet square.  I searched like crazy, but couldn’t find it.  Since I knew that my brothers would be home while I was gone, I left a note about the missing ring, hoping someone would look for it.  During one of their parties, someone found it, though I never did know who. Obviously, if and when you find it, get it insured! Good luck! –Nancy Reynolds

Eeek! What a horrible thing to happen! But it didn’t happen to me (scared me for a sec, though…I had to look at my hand twice). Sorry, I don’t mean to make light of a not-so-fun situation, Tara. I like the idea that Michal suggests of a metal detector, though. Tamara (& John) September 3, 1994

Tamara, My husband has lost his wedding ring twice.  No, three times.  One hiking in the desert, once gardening, and once in a storm gutter. Same ring.  We found it all 3 times.  How?  We rented a metal detector from a local rock-hound shop.  They’re easy to use and cheap. If you’re sure it’s in your apartment, then it should be easy to find. Just make sure no-one vacuumes until you’ve had a chance to get a metal detector and search it out! BTW, we had my husband’s ring re-sized so to fit more snuggly and he hasn’t lost it since. —  Michal
