Just got engaged (again) now a question

I've been wearing the same simple 14K gold ring for nearly 34 years.

It has never caused me a problem.

I take it off from time to time, MRI's, X-Rays, auto mechanic work, etc.
 
Never been married but did have a really nice family coat of arms Ring made for myself when I first started making real money. Word of advice from a fool don’t wear one if your prone to physical discussions. I had to have the above mentioned ring cut off after breaking the finger it was on in two places in conversation with my sisters ex husband over his treatment of my nephew.
Worth it…
 
I need to figure something out. I’ve got a ring made from a shotgun barrel, but I can’t stand to wear it.

I tried one silicone ring but could get used to it either.

I’ve thought about a tattoo, but I’m really not a tattoo guy.

The problem is that my wife assumes that as soon as I leave the house women are running up and grinding on me because I don’t have a ring on.

If you want to try the tattoo idea for awhile without making it permanent draw it on with a sharpie , or better yet have he do it for you. You can call it a bonding thing , find somthing tubular like say a coin roller and trace the end then move it down your finger half an in and trace it again. Then just simply colour between the lines. Should last a couple weeks and give you a feel for how people react to it.
 
neither a solution or a problem... more of an unnecessary, but purposefully chosen adventure in our case.. (we're tattoo people.. getting a traditional polynesian tattoo, while in French Polynesia, from an internationally known artist (been written up in several trade magazines, has won awards, etc) was all part of the trip/vacation...

the fact that he was drunk as a monkey, lived in a house that didn't have a door (he used an old bed sheet), had chickens living in his den (they were actually everywhere.. the den, kitchen, hallways, etc), only took payment in cash (US dollars actually), and used traditional methods (sharpened piece of whale bone and natural inks) to apply the tattoo just made things more.... ummmmm.... interesting? or entertaining? or adventuresome? :D
Are yes the sound of Polynesia chickens didn’t mater how small the Moto is there’s always a chicken on it :ROFLMAO:

The best solution to this is to just not wear a ring. The second best solution is to wear the silicone ones when doing risky activities.

I know quite a few people have said that they wore theirs for 30+ years and never got hurt. But if you are one of them that does, or sees it happen, you aren't likely to keep taking the risk.

@Sabre - why take your wedding ring off? Whats the worst that can happen - you Lose your ring finger? So what, it’s the most USELESS of all Fingers and you’d still have “9 left”. Plus think of the Devotion that would Prove to your Wife “honey, I said I would rip my finger off before I’d stop wearing my Wedding ring”!! She will Never question your Love or commitment again….and let you Buy that nice Rifle you’ve been wanting !!!
 
I’m on this team. I don’t know any farmers that wear a ring. It’s too dangerous. Let your behavior show your commitment.
@Wyatt Smith - most Farmers I’ve met are already Missing a Finger or 2…those guys are tough & capable - can fix anything, build anything —- real Do-it-Yourself guys !!
 
We stopped wearing rings about 5 days after we got married. Still married 15 years later.

Mine is the same, then she sees me in action and realizes that I am not much of a threat.
 
@Russ16 - I’ve worn my wedding ring for 30+ years, it was My Father’s and he wore it for 25+ years before me - never even notice it’s on my finger but would feel “naked” without it. It’s a plain gold band, comfortable and gets bloody & clean - same as my hands….it’s NBD. I would think the more often you take it off the greater chance you Lose it
HAVE WORN MY DADS FOR 30+ YEARS ALSO, WHITE GOLD 5 LITTLE-BITTY DIAMONDS. CLIMBED MANY A COLUMN, HUNG WHO KNOW HOW MANY TONS OF IRON WITH IT ON, WALKED DRUNKIN DOWN MANY DARK STREETS, GUESS I'M LUCKY I STILL GOT A RING FINGER.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary
