Door Knob has something funny to share...it is a whopper! Hope you are strapped in!

[DiamanteBlu]

I''m not sure if I should laugh or cry for you. Somehow, this story seems appropriate:

Wisdom of an elderly woman ...

Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road.

As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride.

With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.

Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.

''What in bag? '' asked the old woman.

Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, ''It''s a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband.''

The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two.

Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said:

''Good trade.....''

Oh my gosh, DKS... I can''t believe you are taking this so well and even labeled it funny. You are a legend in my book. Your husband had better have a little sparkler up his sleeve for Christmas now!

 

[iwannaprettyone]

Call insurance company (house or renters policy) and say....

DKS- "I''ve been robbed"
Ins Agent- "What''s missing?"
DKS-" My door knob and my husband."

LOL, I know this is no time for humor my friend...my heart bleeds for you. I hope this all works out.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Seriously though, could you say that it went missing during the whirlygig crisis? Would someone have been able to get into your house then? I know this is wrong on so many different levels, but could you say you didn''t realize it was missing until now and that that time was the only time the house has been unsecure?

 

[KimberlyH]

DKS, I kept waiting for a punchline, please say there's more to the story...

 

[Catmom]

OH DKS,

, I''m SO, SO sorry! I can''t even begin to imagine how you are feeling right now. Please know that my most positive thoughts are with you right now that you some how find the knob or a new knob that can help ease the pain!

 

[mercoledi]

Oh how awful!

Quick- if we can get you up to 10,000 posts you can have a mini sparkler to keep you warm in the winter.

Gosh, I''m just so sorry. That''s exactly the kind of thing my DH would do, so I saw your ending comming. Some people just "clean up" perpetually. That''s so sad.

But please don''t leave us!

HI:

Total bummer.

[mela lu]

I''m laughing through your tears. This is TERRIBLE!! Any updates?

What are you ''thinking'' you''ll do?

Oh my goodness. I''m speachless.

PS. You should be a profesh writer (if you''re not already). I''ll call Oprah and set up your time-slot.

DKS 4 evah.

It''s a sad story that illustrates the different types of focus different people put on things. For some folks, focus on the stone would have meant insuring it to the hilt & glancing at it a million times a day. For others, focus means years spent pursing the ideal setting & not settling for less. (You''re certainly not the only one around here!!

)

I''d venture to guess from all your stories & your wonderful outlook that your TRUE focus is on your relationships. Which is more important than any material thing ... as, of course, you''d agree. Give ''Mud'' a hug & some puppy dog eyes. He''s a man who wants you to have a Door Knob. Maybe he''ll strike again!

I agree w/the above. I am so sorry! I will pray it can be found.

 

[Maisie]

If it helps I have a 1/4 carat princess cut diamond.... it has huge sentimental meaning to me .... you could have it ... seriously.... its not a door knob, more a keyhole but its pretty

 

[robbie3982]

OMG! That''s awful!!!

I really hope you find it somewhere in the house

 

[VegasAngel]

oh no!

 

[Aloros]

Oh no! That''s HORRIBLE! I really hope you guys find it somewhere. Sending all my luck your way...

 

[aljdewey]

I''m SO sorry for you, DKS, and hope that hubby is working on a replacement for you.

 

[somethingshiny]

Oh, DKS. OR NODKS, I am so sorry! I''ve been waiting and waiting to see this screen-name-worthy diamond.

I know it''s of no consolation, but, with the story of this rock, it seems a bit like the black pearl to me.

 

[lyra]

I''m so sorry. I''m just sick for you.

I''m sending prayers that if it is somehow still in the house, that you will find it. I almost threw out my own ring yesterday. It was in a papertowel drying, I forgot, and went to throw it in the trash...

 

[Rhea]

Wow, that really sucks. You seem to be ok though. Are you ok? Or just laughing to stop from crying?

 

[TravelingGal]

DKS, hope you check in soon. I''m concerned that the oven may have gotten the better of ya.

 

[partgypsy]

I am so sorry. If it makes you feel any better it totally sounds like something my husband would do (brief check, oh this is just an empty envelope, throw away, verbal instructions/etc forgotten).
All I can say, though I know it won''t replace the sentimentality of it, I hope it was insured.

 

[lumpkin]

OMG. I am sooooooo sorry.

I hope that somehow, you find it in a pocket or a drawer or some other really weird place that you never look.

I know you are probably just sick over having it lost, but PLEASE! How could you think that having a diamond -- huge, medium or need a magnifying glass to see -- has anything to do with your worth on this board. Your wry sense of humor is something I look forward to every time I come and see what''s going on.

Please check back soon!

 

[DaniGirl]

i am so sorry dks...

 

[Mara]

DK that is just the saddest thing. Seriously. I love how you have a sense of humor about it. How much groveling has Mr. NoDKS been doing?

And I think I missed this somewhere but how large was the DKS anyway?

ROFLMAO.

I was starting to wonder if I pi$$ed someone off...haha

 

[littlelysser]

Oh DKS...I''m so sorry.

That is awful stuff.

 

[movie zombie]

if he''s not working on a replacement, his head should go back in the oven.......

i think you''re handling this very very well.....better than i would, that''s for sure.

[DMBsGirl]

Oh my goodness I am so sorry! You are a better woman that I, if FF had done something like that i might have strangled him!

 

[FireGoddess]

The fact that you wrote the post as you did, with a funny twist to it, instead of a string of expletives (which I admit, would have been my first response no matter how much I love my hubby) is why we love you and you will always remain DKS no matter what size S you have!!

I hope you either find the door knob or can replace it some time soon...

 

[katebar]

DKS this simply is not fair *Stamps foot*.
Hugs to you and firngers crossed you can find it or insurance cancome to the party!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Oh noes, DKS! This is simply awful to hear!

However, I loved your clever sense of humour about it - your story had me completely involved, but when I got the awful part, I kept hoping there was some sort of "Surprise, late (or early) April Fool''s!" at the end.

I hope, by some miracle, it is still somewhere in your house.
