Getting swabbed for covid. I think he was trying to distract me from the unpleasantness.

Last week I was at the dentist, and my dentist and her assistant were both ogling and complimenting my ring.....while drilling my teeth! I wanted to tell them to focus on my mouth because I was about to gag and drown on my own saliva, and they were too busy looking down at my rings to notice!

I got on the plane in Dubai, and as soon as I sat in my seat, the AS grabbed my hand and said “How big is your diamond?”, so I told her and she said “Wow, he must really love you”

As my husband's funeral was ending and people were starting to leave, they were coming up to me to give me a hug, tell how sorry they were, etc. I was standing there crying and accepting it all, one woman that I didn't know took my hand to say something, then she saw the rings on my finger and said "Oh, did he give you that?!? It's lovely!". I just stood there not saying anything, I wish I'd had enough wits about me to say "No, it came from the bottom of a Cracker Jack box!".

Was just putting my Black Opal and White Gold pinkie ring back on after washing my hands and a guy standing at the urinal saw it, commented on it and asked where I got it from. I said something like thanks but let's have this conversation at the bar once you're finished.

Somewhat off topic, but Jordy's comment brings this quick story to mind. I was with a group of jewelers at the Magic Castle in LA many years ago. I went into the men's room to use the urinal, when Don Knotts stepped up into the urinal next to me. I turned my head and said, "My wife and I love watching you on the TV." He looked over and smiled and thanked me. I then finished and fled the room.

I stopped where the rest of my group was waiting for two of the ladies in our group to rejoin us and I said I had just made a complete idiot of myself and told them what I had done. When they finished laughing at me, a young man stepped over to us and told me it was okay, "Grandpa loves it when people talk to him no matter where."

Mr Knotts is now long passed, and I can now laugh at two of my most embarrassing moments, only a few seconds apart...
