Socks?Cold nose. Cold toes.
My cousin died. Most likely a heroin OD. Goddamnit :-/
It's no surprise, I've been expecting something like this for years, but it's so fucking sad. That side of the family has had some terrible luck.
...and thanks all for your love. Caught up with a lot of the family today and we talked about things. My aunt and uncle (not his parents; they're both dead) tried so hard to help him for years, but I'm not sure he ever really wanted the kind of help that was on offer.

Sad rather than pissed off.
I am wearing one of my mother's wedding rings today, above mine. The oppression feels almost encased in the metal. For a particular, mainly practical reason I am trying to see if I can get used to wearing it, but the oppression might be too much.

I wear yellow gold. I give nothing for fashion. Wear a fara ring or two to play with; pretty ones that you can replace if the occasion ever arises in the future, that you choose yourself. Representing you.

I miss my wedding and engagement rings.
Not being married. Not the symbolism.
Just the rings. I played with them all the time.
I liked them. Unfashionable yellow gold. My wedding ring matched his and had etchings on it, so if it got banged up it wouldn't show. Almost a utility ring.
My engagement ring was a 1.3 carat round with diamond chips on the side. He picked it out.
I miss them on my hand. I miss twisting them. I also used to take them on and off.
I don't know what to do with them now.
Far, I like Elle's idea. You need a ring that's just yours. Something you pick out.
What was that thing Churchill once said?WPMOT: people who ruin democracy by not bothering to inform their opinions.

On re-purposing rings and things: my mother had some stones separated from some rings and had the bands melted down to make new jewelry for her daughters-in-law. Earrings, as I recall.
WPMOT: when I go outside in weather this cold, my neuropathy flares up worse than normal. Can't stay inside all day every day, though. Life's a bitch and then your body becomes an enemy.![]()
I never wore a ring prior to getting married. Now, it feels weird if I take it off so I know what you mean. I wear his ring now, his fingers swelled up too much to wear. I like his almost more than mine - I can feel it there. I like that.

"Well Bob, it's pretty tacky already but you know what would push it over the edge? Testicles."
This is something I'd expect to find on the DD/lg thread.
You craaaaaaaay.
