Sun, 21 Aug 2005 18:13:18 +0000 http://paranoidagnostic.net/2005/08/10/lost-my-wedding-ring#comment-33 [...] My left hand feels right again because today I experienced a truly happy ending to a lost and found story. A week and a half ago I lost my wedding ring while mowing the lawn. Today my wife found my wedding ring, also while mowing the lawn, and now it is back on my left hand where it belongs. For the entire time that my ring was lost my hand felt wrong. I even went out and bought a cheap mood ring (and a matching one for my wife!) so I would have something to wear on my ring finger so I would not be distracted by the absence of the “ring feeling.” [...] [...] My left hand feels right again because today I experienced a truly happy ending to a lost and found story.

I raked the lawn itself after mowing in the hopes of finding the ring. There is a chance that the ring is buried in a pile of pine needles (ouch) or in the flowerbed or the small bean garden we have in the front. This is, of course, assuming that my theory is correct about where I lost it. We will spare the munchkins the task of searching the lawn. I am less upset now and getting prepared to accept that it is gone. Kim and I will use this as an excuse to get new rings on our anniversary I think. Indeed I have raked up the clippings.

Hopefully the grass won't have grown too much in that time. Burhan and I will split the sugary reward. :) Have you thought of just raking up the clippings? well, I can volunteer our munchkins next weekend to come over and look for the ring.

Have you thought of just raking up the clippings?

However, I DID tell Kim. I told phoned her from the front lawn just minutes after realizing I lost my ring. Sadly, I have made many attempts to find the ring and none were succesful and none really seem that interesting now. OK, OK, so I wasn’t thinking straight for a few days. However, I DID tell Kim.

Or you could 'borrow' a goat for a few days (herd of sheep?) then sift through the leavings. or the next scout bottle drive tell them you don't have bottles but you might do a small cash donation in return for letting them rummange around on your lawn. perhaps a frat kegger with extra free beer to the ring finder? greek lamb roast on the front lawn? tell the neighbourhood kids that a gold elf left something special on your lawn (or start a rumour that *you* are a gold elf) and will give a reward to the one who finds it (cookies or similar sugar gift should work). YOu get the idea. it's times like this when you should let your creativity go wild. just don't tell kim, this will provide some stressful impetous to your idea generating (necessity, mother, invention thingie). of course if you are successful, you will have to blog the unsuccessful attempts that lead up to the success. hmm? now, really, isn’t this the time to come up with some wacky, crazy idea, like mulching the whole lawn, and carrying it out? without telling kim what has happened? when confronted with the internet evidence, you can then plead temporary insanity while having the fun of some seeminly useful destruction along the way.
