Cicero: I guess that you took it off during clean-up before or after the concert. Try your bathroom.

Obvious choice: Check your entire suit again, and the floor of the area it was hung up.

I did check the pockets. I'll look again. (Anotehr performance tnoight, so I'll have it on again.)

Is there a lost and found there? You should ask around.

Don't you feel naked without it? Mine is such a part of me that if I forget it, I spent all day trying to figure out what's wrong.

Sorry you have not located your ring yet. Quick question, since I haven't been here very long and didn't know you played in concerts, what do you play?

Just a note to Ortho - hope everything turns out ok for you & your household.

Sorry to hear it's still missing. I don't have any other suggestions to add, but I hope you find it.

When I don't have my rings on, I feel sort of naked, like I forgot to get dressed. Very weird.

Thanks, Jester. Things are ok - we have heat on the main floor but not in the upstairs bedrooms this weekend, until a part for our system comes in on Monday. We still have just one computer online, but at least there's one. We'll have to sort out the network problem over the weekend.

Maybe it's time for a wireless router.

My main problem is beating the ladies off with a stick, since there are under the impression I'm available.

I will, but I seriously doubt it... I'm almost 100% sure I didn't take it off before I got home.

I play clarinet. The current engagement (5 performances in 4 days) is with a community theater group my wife conducts.

That's cool.

Side question, not intended to make you feel bad about losing it: why do you take it off at all? Is it for comfort while playing? Ours don't ever come off, they stay on through sleep/shower/everything.

Okay wait, I take it back. The one time I take mine off is when I'm kneading dough, because it's just such a pain in the ass to clean afterwards--but I feel seriously wigged out the whole time it's off, I keep elbowing my pocket to make sure I can still feel it in there.

i never take mine off.

i only lost the one i lost because i got a blister from it while paddling and moved it to my stupid assed pinky.

Ditto that. The funny thing is, the only time I'm kneading dough is on Friday night when we are making hand tossed pizza for date night. The only time I take it off it the most romantic night of the week.

Isn't it ironic, don't 'cha think?

I take all my rings off when I moisturize etc, but they go straight back on again as soon as it's all absorbed.
