My parents got married in 1959 and my dad has always worn a wedding band. His father, however, I don't think did. I always chalked that up to the fact that he was a farmer and jewelry + machinery is often a bad combination.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
I've been without internet for two weeks. I didn't realise how much I missed it until I got back on. I'm almost tempted to waste class and just surf lj.
Love the new Natter title. I think it's my favorite one yet.

What is even happening?
My parents married in 1961, and both had rings (and my mother had an engagemetn ring as well, but the stone fell out one Christmas day, and we never found it, despite picking through the trash, etc.). My father was a carpenter, so he didn't wear his ring all the time, but he wore it fairly often, especially if they were going somewhere.

My parents married in '58, and Dad has a wedding ring that I've never seen him wear (on account metal and his skin failing to play nicely, plus him being a large old man now instead of a skinny young one).

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
What's the confusion? You give $30K+ plus worth of diamond to your girl. Later, she tags your finger with a G, you tag hers with another G, and you get to buy everthing.
Seems plain to me.

My dad has his grandfather's wedding ring. If it's his maternal grandfather, it's from 1920ish sweden, since they only got around to getting married because they were immigrating. It is unlikely that it's from the other side, since they were hardscrabble dirt (tundra?) farmers with very little sentimentality. That much gold totally would have been hocked for a cow or plow.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday DebetEsse!
Sheesh, now I feel bad for having a diamond engagement ring that wasn't an heirloom.(I told G I didn't need a diamond in my ring, but he wanted to be traditional. Nevermind that the tradition is only 100 years old .) My mom's engagement ring I think got reworked into a different ring for her. The stone from my paternal grandmother's ring was turned into a pendant and given to me on my 16th birthday.(Grandmom died when I was 11)

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.
It's "invisibling", Gus. Get it right.
