I have a custom-made wedding band with 4 little diamonds set into it and one larger one. It always flips around so the diamonds aren't lined up with the engagement ring so I've been meaning to have em fused together. Well, the other day I looked down at my finger and the larger diamond was GONE! :crying: Just a big hole where it used to be. I'm SO upset every time I look at my finger now... I could just cry.

I'm so sorry that happened too... ugh.. that is terrible..

What is it with diamonds going missing anyway??

My mother lost an heirloom ring that was a combo of her diamond that my dad gave her (he's deceased), a diamond that was my grandmother's (given to her by her 1st husband that was shot down of germany).. she changed from a summer purse to a winter one and forgot the ring in one of the pockets and threw the summer purse away.. :(

I took my old engagement ring from my 1st marriage and had it re-set in a necklace.. then I promptly lost it in the washing machine.. i felt sick for about 20 minutes.. then i realized who gave it to me.. :whistle:

UGH..

UGH..

That is horrible about your mother's ring. That would make me so sick... Sounds like it was such a special ring... gosh :(

The diamonds in my band were actually out of my mom's old wedding ring from my dad (they're divorced now) so I'm a little sad about that part too. It was funny 'cause when my mom saw the band she noticed that my engagement diamond is twice the size as the diamond in my band (the one I lost) and she said "Man your father was cheap" haha. maybe the diamond had a bad energy or something. hmmm

I am a freaking DUMB A$$! :cry: I finally go on a interview for a job that I am qualified for and they recognized that my qualifications were what they were looking for on the phone, so I didn't have to play the stupid overqualified game again. I was so nervous, because it was a job that I actually really really wanted and it seemed like such a great company to work for and I completely botched it!!!

I rambled on forever about everything they asked! And I all of a sudden developed a freaking stutter while being interviewed! I NEVER STUTTER! :angry: I feel like one big fat disappointment! :crying: Seriously people. I suck!

Not to worry, Modano. Most companies recognize that an interview situation makes people nervous.

My girlfriend, Wendy, came over the night before she was going for an interview. Our old boss, Gord, was on the committee. We talked about how hot Gord was and I said "I'd do him." Well, the next day she's getting grilled by the committee when all of a sudden that popped into her head and she giggled at a serious question, realized her faux pas, then stumbled and stuttered her way through the rest of the interview. Needless to say, she didn't get the job. But I'm sure you weren't thinking about "doing" one of the members of the panel so you should be okay. :lol:

Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much, they might see that you are human and appreciate it! If not, just means there is a better job around the corner (and I mean that, not just saying it for effect :) )

51 in a 35.. such a trap she was sitting on the other side of the sign where the limit drops and she asked me why i pulled her over and I even said speeding, thinking she would give me a warning... no dice. I have no clue how much it is either, you have to check online but its not in there yet.
