whomper Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I was at a playoff fantasy draft with 6 guys last night . 5 of us are married yet im the only one that had a wedding band on. One of them noticed that and we had a conversation about it. I know these guys and they dont not wear it because they are up to no good they just said its lost or they dont wear any type of jewelery. Just curious to see who wears theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I've been married 20+ years now. I have always worn my ring until just about 6 months ago. I was wearing it while sparring and took a kick to the hand. The finger swelled up and the ring had to be cut off lest I lose my finger.

T_bone65 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I got married in Nov of 04 I told my wife that I would always wear my ring. In my first marriage I never wore because I used to work on computers alot and played alot of softball. I never wore my ring to play sports and I used to travel alot to play softball so I just got into the habit of never wearing it. Â I never owned a watch before August of last year but have worn that all of the time since as well. I never used to like wearing any type of jewlery but now wear my wedding ring and watch all of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylive5 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I still wear mine. Been on my hand for just about 39 years now. Wore it even when working on electronics equipment in the Navy and wore it when I used to build computers. Probably not very smart when doing that kind of stuff.... but I don't take it off.

Front Row Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Wore mine for the first 10 yrs. or so. It was getting really beat up , and would interfere with my work on occasion so i put it away. Funny thing to me is I noticed the ladies don't seem to flirt as much as they did when I was wearing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefjay Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) I wear mine always although last summer I was jumping off a boat to help it dock on a small island on a local inland lake; well the water was a bit deeper then I thought and I panicked and grabbed the bar around the boat as I was decending and bent the ring and cracked it a bit, not to mention I had a nice gash but nothing to serious. Â Other then that, softball, basketball, working out, whatever I have no problem with it granted it's just a gold band.

I took a gander at your ring when we went to the ball game last year. Furd can probably confirm it. Here's a pic.  Jay's ring   Here's a pic of ChiefJay sporting his ring at the party we attended after the game. He's quite an entertainer after a couple beers.

rocknrobn26 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Had one when we got married, then about 4 years later one of my students stole it. I couldn't prove it though. I didn't get another until about 6-7 years ago. Now I only take it off at bed time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqualung Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I worked as a machinist for over 30 years. That is a very bad occupation for wearing rings (a lot of missing fingers). Never wore mine until I retired. Less than a year later lost it. Don't know where, I think it was during a hike in the woods. My wife wears hers doesn't mind that I don't sport one. Nice lady.

Brewer Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Don't wear mine. I do a lot of work around the house and at our farms on the weekends, and the ring would give me some nasty callous/blisters. My wife doesn't mind though, as people can tell that I'm married just by looking at my posture and glazed eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSab Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I wear it except when working on machinery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
