I didn't think the brother was old enough to go to Thailand.

I'd think he would be by now. (The brother was where my thoughts immediately went, too.)

My mother doesn't have an engagement ring. Don't know if that's just her, or a Jamaican thing. Jamaican men rarely wear wedding rings--I didn't know men were supposed to wear them until I was pretty old. Teens at least.

They arrested someone. [link]

As guilty as the whole family seemed in the JonBenet case, I think there was physical evidence (prints and hair) found at the scene and on the body that didn't match the mother, father or brother. Hence the unsub theory. I'm interested to see who they did arrest though.

You and me brenda, great minds.

Honestly, I don't know enough about the case to have a very informed opinion (this can be said about a great many subjects as well).

Mom didn't have an engagement ring either and dad doesn't wear jewelry of any sort. I don't know when it occurred to me that it was outside US norms. I'm guessing my brother doesn't have/doesn't wear a wedding ring because it would seem weird enough to me if he did that I'd note it.

I was just reading an article on the Ramsey case a couple of weeks ago. There was a mention that new techniques might help the case. Timing is suspicious, anyway.

I missed the news that Patsy Ramsey had died back in June.

My mother didn't have an engagement ring until she had one made a few years ago. During their engagement, such as it was, she borrowed Gram's.

Yet another reason I'm irked that my least-loved cousin has the thing now.

But, anyhow.

To my surprise, I discovered that much of central Europe wears wedding rings on the right hand.

I know that if you're Orthodox (Christian, that is), that's the usual place. At least if you're Russian.

Our friends from Germany (and who now live in Holland) wear theirs on their right hands (and I seem to recall learning this was customary, from them).
