>Uversabound — thanks! Glad it made you happy! I thought it was a super nice story.

>Mr. K — Sheesh. I try to extricate us from the foul crud, corruption and sludge for just one moment and, BAM!, it oozes right into my fun thread. Thanks a lot!

God’s way of making sure she got the ring back, IMO.

Yeah! What a cheapskate hardscrabble 18 year old Alberta farmer in 1951. Buying his bride-to-be a measly one karat engagement ring. The nerve of that guy! He should have slaughtered a couple more cows and sold some acreage to afford a nice engagement ring.

Have a nice day.

Just incredible, isn’t it? The chances of this happening have to be close to zero.

Trumps’s fault that she lost it....
And that’s racist making that carrot have to grow in it.
Ban all diamond rings...they’re racist towards hard-working carrot types.

You’re right, SH, I totally missed it!

Apologies to Rebel Base...that was a good one! Well done. Sorry about that. How could I have not picked that up? Not enough coffee.
