i've been distressed lately cause i can't find my opal ring
1:42 am
hurshy
speaking of opals
1:42 am
sprite
sorry to hear it
1:43 am
hurshy
i REALLY hope it did not fall into the trash and is gone forever
1:43 am
hurshy
it was so special
1:44 am
hurshy
but, mentioning things i can't find in the chat usually helps me find them - if it works with words, maybe it can work with my ring too
1:44 am
sprite
who knows... good thinking!
1:45 am
grannyrose
hurshy, my mother lost both of my grandmothers engagement rings. we found them in a bag of tomatos in the fridge. they had fallen off when she got a tomato out of the bag, but she didn't notice for some hours.
1:46 am
grannyrose
it was bedlam for a while i can tell you. my poor father had to go out and go through the compost bin...
1:46 am
hurshy
unfortunately, for me it's been weeks
1:47 am
sprite
I lost my wedding ring once. It never surfaced. I am very lucky my beloved was willing to give me another one.
1:47 am
grannyrose
and i absolutely know that sinking feeling in your gut.
1:51 am
sprite
less apropos, christmas is in the grid too, lol
1:59 am
sprite
I must get ready, I have a friend coming over for a visit. She wants my advice on something... always makes me nervous, not at all sure about giving advice. Much rather facilitate her finding her own answers. She is the expert on her situation, not me, right?
2:00 am
grannyrose
okay honey. and yes, she must supply her own answers. you can guide her thoughts though.
2:00 am
grannyrose
encourage her to voice exactly how she feels about whatever.
2:01 am
sprite
yeah, that suits me much better. Will do :D
Have a lovely evening, darling *hugssss*
I hope you'll find back your ring, hursh.
And to you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.
