I’m not a jewelry loving person by any means but I noticed something today that just may change my mind. Oh I’ll never be the type of person who wears bangles and necklaces with matching ear rings but I think I may notice engagement rings a little closer now. You see I was standing around waiting for my seven year old and I happened to look down at my wedding band and of course my engagement ring. I noticed that the wedding band had pushed into the engagement ring and left an obvious indentation on the clasp holding the diamond “flake” in place. Then on a closer inspection I noticed that I could not look through the clasp. Now to clarify something we are talking about a $100 engagement ring ( I was only 18 and money was non-existent) with no depth to the diamond. So I’m used to looking straight through that clasp….just thin air and nothing more. However today it was solid. I’m a firm believer in miracles but I doubted very much that a new diamond miraculously turned up in my engagement ring. Then the truth hit me…soap! It was full of soap and the truth about the situation at hand was that there’s more soap in my ring than diamond!
Another pathetic entry. Why don’t you just say it – “My husband is so sickening he can’t even by me the rock I think I deserve. After all I sit on my ever growing ass all day. I deserve it.” You’re a patehtic excuse for a human being. Get a job – OH! That’s right. You won’t “for the kids sake.” BS! You won’t because you don’t want to miss an episode of Jerry Spring or another session with your personal trainer. We all know that he’s bang you for the money your husband brings home.
I think someone’s not getting any!
Perhaps you should wipe your chin honey because you seem to be dribbling shit. I LOVE my engagement ring and I love my husband… a little bit of humor over MY ring is not meant to offend anyone.
Danielle…thanks for the comments…have a nice day!
Hahaha! I think it’s hysterical!!!! And as for the sourpuss above, I don’t think being able to laugh at your own confusion means you are feeling unloved and entitled to something better!!! Get over yourself! This was hilarious! It’s healthy to be able to know that it doesn’t have to be the biggest and the best to mean that love is there.
OMG! Danielle! I am soooo surprised you even responded to what the first person said – so not like you, that is more like me – so I will….newtwist is it? Well, Newtwist you so don’t know Danielle at all. First of all she does not have an ever expanding ass – it is a very petite size 8 and has only ever gone above this when she was pregnant and even then it went to a size 10! Second of all – have you not paid attention? Personal Trainer? I don’t believe this is in Danielle’s vocabulary or budget! The only luxury this girl splurges on is 3 ply toilet paper! Damn straight, Danielle? As for complaining about her engagement ring because she wants a bigger one…..hahaha! That is so funny I can’t even address this one! Otherwise, I think I have addressed everything!
Oh my gosh newtwist you really are a moron but now I think you are moving into the ‘dickhead’ category! If you think that stay at home mums have ever growing arses then you not only a dickhead but stupid!
I have rocks on my fingers and I can tell you that does not prove love!
All I can say newtwist is ‘lame Millhouse…lame!’
Wake up a smell the coffee, ladies. Read between the lines in the original blog post, you idiots. How many times does this rag have
“…holding the diamond “flake” in place.”
“…we are talking about a $100 engagement ring…”
“…just thin air and nothing more.”
“I’m a firm believer in miracles but I doubted very much that a new diamond miraculously turned up in my engagement ring.”
Sheesh! Anybody with a functioning neuron or two will realize that she has a deep set, and very likely subconcious, resentment over the fact that here diamond isn’t up to her standards. There is not once description of this ring that is flattering or positive. Not once does she state how wonderful the symbolism of here ring is, or that despite being penniless when it was received a serious amount of love and affection went into it. Not once!
As always, the feminist circle encircles the one under attack. Look in the mirror ladies.
Newtwist, newtwist, newtwist… I feel sorry for you. I’m sorry you can’t see the humor in having more soap in my ring than diamond. It’s HUMOR…. not resentment or any other words you would like to use. It’s VERY obvious to me that you do not read my blog regularly otherwise you would know that you are SSSOOO way off the mark it’s not funny.
Actually Danielle, they are so far off the mark it is funny….laughable!
‘Cause that is all you can do is laugh!
Read your own words. You’re clearly in a state of denial. I feel sorry for you sad, sad husband. Surely his life could have been better.
And as for your original comment, “I think someone’s not getting any!” Another classic feminist, stay at home prostitute response.
As usual, the female comeback is on the order of, “Your life must be so sad and you must be so sad because you don’t have a blood-belching, yeast infected, fish smelling, hairball vagina stuffed in your face.”
Wow.. you have some serious problems newtwist. You should see some one about that!
Problems? No. Maybe you didn’t read my other post – I chose not to have problems…I mean, kids. Clearly the problems lie with you and your stay at home friends. Maybe you should all put down your vibrators and realize that marginalization is not the answer.
WTF! Is all I can say, while I sit here and laugh!
All you can do is sit there and laugh? Maybe your vibrator is set too high. You shouldn’t put D-size batteries in those things.
I don’t need a vibrator, honey! I’ve got me a husband and he satisfies me in every way – that is why I am not bitter and twisted! How about you?
Oh, well since your married, maybe you should retrieve the vibrator from your husband’s anus.
Did you not get the point about not needing one! huh! Noticed you decided to totally skip my question! That in itself says it all and again write what you want from now on because as stated in my previous comment – getting personal because you have been out argued in your original argument and it is now like flogging a dead horse and I like horses dead or alive so I won’t be cruel and flog them!
We have had to delete a comment from newtwist which was simply an attack on Angela and we will not have such foul language on this blog. I am happy for people to criticise/debate/argue with me about my posts but from this point forward no comments will be allowed to pass if it’s offensive or contains abusive language.
As the person who gave the ring to the woman in question I can say she is happy with it. If she isn’t… there’s always the postman.
Wow newtwist, how do you know what size batteries go into a vibrator? You’re the only one that’s referred to a vibrator everyone else seems pretty satisfied with the real deal.
Diamonds are just a whole heap of coal when you get down to it. They don’t prove anything and I know from personal experience.
I posted this message on the other blog page. The same sentiment holds here.
After much soul searching, much rage, and much disgust, I have come to the conclusion that I have been an absolute jackass. You all have been the recipients of some very serious anger/rage that I have regarding the issue of stay at home mothers and having children. Some of it may be justified or at least understandable if you knew my complete history of influences but I do not expect you to listen to my history. Nor do I expect anyone to accept this apology, but merely to realize that it has been offered. I also offer that I will not spew forth such anger in this forum or another like it in the future. I will rather try to temper my anger and participate in a more healthy debate.
My apologies to all of those involved.
After reading the comments – Newtwist is this your way of crying out for attention?? Do you like to get people all fired up and then applogise to them. Must be your way of getting off hey. You are a sad excuse for a human being. Get a life mate!
that’s hysterical. How cute.
My engagement ring was just about the same, this made me giggle because I’ve been there. For our 5 yr wedding anniversary my husband replaced it with a 3 stone anniversary ring, and I love it. Would have been happy with the original… but I love my new one. We’re saving it for my daughter’s 18th birthday.
I love your take on it and the humor with which you wrote this. It shows a lot about you and who you are
Came from stumbleupon
Wow.
I am looking at my engagement ring.
No rocks. Even my 5 years old daughter has more rocks that I do 2 -0
But I never really thought they were so important.
Newtwist, you should seek for help, but please, find a good one. Nothing worse than a bag analist. What if you turn into something worse?
My husband and I eloped to Scotland to get married because his mother would never approve of the marriage. She felt we were not well suited and that such a marriage was doomed for divorce. We were so rushed because we were emigrating to the USA the following day that my husband forgot the ring. A very nice jeweler made us a quick one out of a small thin band of gold. It has no adornments and is the smallest, thinnest band of gold one could imagine. Upon our arrival in the USA he offered to replace the ring for an upgraded model. I wouldn’t dream of it. Only another married woman would understand when I say this the “THE RING.” No other ring could replace the memories this one holds.
Recently I have put on a little weight, not much but enough to cause the ring to be uncomfortable and painful in hotter weather. My husband suggested we go to a jewelers and have it cut off, a proposition which horrified me. I told him he was the one that put it on and hence the only one who would ever take it off. So there we sat on the porch, pair of pliers and small hacksaw in hand as the poor man did his best to cut it off without causing pain. Darn near broke my finger doing it lol, but that story is for another day. Suffice to say, if you try this at home, don’t use pliers or wire cutters.
For our wedding anniversary he had it resized and returned it to me. I think that is possibly the best gift anyone has given me predominantly because after 24 years of marriage, not only does he still want me to wear his ring, he understood and knew what the original one meant to me:)
Your story was too cute! I too get soap and hand lotion and who knows what all else stuck under my stone from time to time. I rinse it under super hot water with a little dishsoap now and then and it seems to help.
TootieLizardTush, I loved your story! It sounds like your DH is just as much of a keeper as the wonderful ring he’s given you not once but twice.
I dont think that newtwists apology was the real new twist…it made too much sense based on the earlier comments they left. In anycase, my fiance only had enough money for a 25 dollar ring, a few days later, he came up with a more expensive gold band that he bought from a friend. He offered it to me and I refused. I wanted the one he had picked out for me with the red glass and celtic design made of pot metal. My choice meant alot to him and now, although we arent married yet, he wears the one he got from his friend to show the world that he is taken. a ring means nothing with out love behind the offering of it.
I thought the diamond story was very cute and uplifting. Since it seems there are too many crabby people out there, I will try to send a little of my homegrown humor your way.
I have been married to my husband for 26 years and we have 3 daughters. The following is a true story …..
One day while my husband was in a meeting he said he felt something in the sleeve of his shirt. Thinking it was a thread, he pulled on it and poof … out came one of his daughter’s thongs!! He told me he didn’t hesitate to quickly put it in his pocket after the giggles started. Now that’s a true dad!! Hope you enjoy this true story, if not oh well.
