I can't do thumb rings. If it fits over the wide part of the thumb, it'll just spin around the lower part.
I guess they don't have much demand for a size 5.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Aurelia, is 5 your largest finger? Dang, you're tiny! I wear a 5.25 on my ring fingers, and that's hard enough to find. Can't imagine trying to stock up on smaller things, considering the smallest you can usually find is a 4.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Wow, I think 4 fits my index (???) toe. Or something around there. I don't like the open rings so I find toe rings in the wee finger ring section instead.

My ring finger is 4.5. My fingers are wee.

I wonder what size my toes are. I don't wear toe rings, and don't know.

I have no idea what size my fingers are. I mean, aside from short and kinda pudgy.
In only slightly related news, how difficult would it be for someone to learn how to drive a stick shift after they've been driving an automatic for longer than they'd care to admit?

It's not easy, but it's doable. For me, it was terribly hard for a few days, but once I started to get it it was easy. The learning isn't so hard, that is, it's the feeling it. Of course, I learned on a car that was practically a truck. I hear it's much easier on a decent car.

It's not that bad, Kristen, but you should definitely plan on some serious parking lot time to practice first gear. (I know that sounds weird.)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I think it depends on the person. A friend of mine spent an hour trying to teach me in an empty parking lot without success several years ago. On the flipside, I seem to recall my mother was able to figure out how to drive my dad's manual Camero on her own well enough when she couldn't get the station wagon to start and absolutely had to drive somewhere when we were kids, though she said it wasn't the smoothest ride.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
It would depend on the car, I think Kristen.
When I got my truck it didn't take too long to get it down, once I found a nice open parking lot to practice in. A few hours and I had the basics of not killing the engine every time I shifted gears, though I was still a wee bit nervous for the next few weeks till I had enough coordination to not grind the gears OR kill the engine.
