Yippee!!! New ring!!! Possibly the record for the largest

[door knob solitaire]

Hubby is feeling remorse...and the sweetheart went out on his own and surprised me with this New RING!!!!

Only the best for me! Pictured is actually the lower quality cut...I got the premium!!!

This is not exactly the post I was hoping to make, as in a NEW RING announcement type. Nor the subject I wanted for my 2000th post...but it is a ring. And a ring I will use it everyday with sincere appreciation. For those of you who don''t know what it is...it provides a water proof seal used for your toity. So all things leave your space and go far away into neverland. If you don''t have this...you get to see the stuff again along the base of the toity-and of course all over you floor.

Yes...I would say this has been an action packed knee deep in KA KA week.

Please...not one hand request!!!

Sorry to trick you...really. Meant no harm...just wanted to share my joy!

DKS, what is a toity?

 

[Jypsie]

LOL! Grats DKS!! I can totally understand your level of appreciation for this ring - honestly, it''s one of those things that you just have to have faith in it working... and when it doesn''t... oh boy!! Not a pretty site at all!!

Harriet - toity is slang for a toilet

 

[Haven]

That''s it! There is no more stalling this situation--we need to get you new bling and FAST!

I''m going to arrange something with a beloved PS vendor--DKS, which is your favorite? I''m sending him my little 0.22 RB, and fast.

Not kidding, here.

 

[Green with Envy]

It sounds like your Thanksgiving was stuffed! And not in a good way!

 

[Steel]

DKS,

Get a hot water bottle and go straight to bed. I fear you are feverous with mourning for the Door Knob and dare I say out loud - nay - I will whisper ''near madness''?

Now lets have no more of this ''potty mouth'' talk.

 

[Skippy123]

I will play along

Congrats, it is sooooo beautiful!

You must be so proud and excited, yay

Stinker. I knew it was a trick before I ever read your post. I''m ON to you lady.

p.s. Congrats.

 

[door knob solitaire]

Glad to get some giggles...sorry to confuse you Harriet-just having some fun.

Yes Skip I am most proud. A replacement ring...and so quick. That should have been my thread title. Drats.

Ellen...I am

and don't you forget it!!

Green and Steel...ha ha.

HAVEN>>> you are not to do that!! NOT KIDDING!! You sweet wonderful little cupcake!!

Really...I am well covered in bling...just not well covered in knob insurance. Ha Ha. Really darlin...don't worry about me. I am dripping in blessings...honest. Your gesture is once again a priceless generous thoughtful one. But you build yourself something special...and think of all your buddies here when you wear it! It is an honor to have a such a great friend! Told you I have an abundance of blessings...and a NEW RING!!!

[Blenheim]

Hahaha. Ok, I''m TOTALLY not making this up, but the one thing* that my hubby actually bought for me on my b-day was almost the same ring!! He went for the lower quality cut though to save a few $$. I sincerely appreciate his thoughtfulness, as we now have a working "toity" (haven''t heard that word before) on our first floor. We just have the best husbands.

*This is an exaggeration; he also bought a cut-off valve and a couple of bolts.

 

[door knob solitaire]

Blenheim, Apparently...I rank a little higher as I got the reinforced model.

Let me take that back...mine is still in the box...yours is installed. Ok, you win!

Hmm,

Re: The highlighted quote, two interpretations spring to mind:

1. Must I congratulate you DKS on bringing this reputable forum, which created for the connoisseur’s appreciation of the exquisite delights of that which goes 'bling' in the night to a new low? Actually, no scratch that, it’s just my dirty mind.

2. Should we worry for Mr DKS? Should your household consider taking out such Insurance? Sure he messed up, but give a guy a second chance?

 

[Harriet]

Now that I know what a toity is, what is a toity ring?

 

[ang3199]

Hehehe. DKS : Thanks for making me laugh! You are such a light hearted happy spirit!

 

[Kaleigh]

Hehe DKS, you always make me smile!!!!

 

[fansynancy]

Too funny! Congrats on the new ring.

[DiamanteBlu]

Lol!

 

[door knob solitaire]

aljdewey...you don''t follow instructions well...I asked for not ONE single hand shot requests in my OP. Oh well.

Harriet, darling...it is obvious that you lead a very pampered life...not having to concern yourself with menial little people tasks. But those of us who live on the other side of the tracks...know that THAT toity ring is a large glop of semi soft wax. (Similar to say an imported mild Guyere). It is placed on the hole in your floor, and then you sit/place your toity...(toilet, tolert, commode, stool, Grecian urn, porcelain potty...or in your case gilded gold throne) directly on top making a gentle press to ensure a great air tight seal...viola.

All the ka ka goes down the hole and away from you and yours. Wax rings loose their hold in time. And when that happens...Katy bar the ka ka door. Water erupt-us from below the toilert...and anything else you may have discarded of. That is why the wax ring is such a thoughtful continual giving gift. One without appreciates it more than sterling or gold...or in your case platinum! Under $5 makes a wonderful holiday gift for those who have everything.

Steel...can''t get your post. I tried. Too slow I guess. (or could it be I really am a

) Yes I do apologize for bringing a toilet wax ring into the daily conversation. Away with me into the fiery furnace!

[Harriet]

Ah, thanks for enlightening me. Btw, what is ka ka?

 

[door knob solitaire]

Oh Harriet...women at the club doen''t say Ka Ka do they? (kaw kaw is poo poo)

You and I need to get together. I have much to teach you. You really shouldn''t venture out alone!!

[snlee]

LOL! This thread is cracking me up! Thanks for a good laugh DKS.

Congrats on 2000 posts too!

 

[Phoenix]

I think I understand this..... lol!

DKS just think about the word Knob for a minute... could it perhaps have another meaning? It does over this side of the pond. And if said Knob did mean something else.... perhaps connected with your husband..... should we worry about the need for it to be insured? Steel means that your husband messed up but would he deserve to be perhaps injured in such a way as repayment....

Get it now?

 

[angel_nieves]

Dks!! I thought there and been an improvement of your situation concerning your diamond, and then I see it’s a wax ring. I have just recently read your saga about the lost diamond, and feel so sorry that it was lost.

 

[Fly Girl]

I hate plumbing problems!!!

Properly working plumbing is such a blessing.

We recently sold a cabin that was out in the country (septic system) and bought one with city sewer. I was soooooo happy!

We just had Roto Rooter here last week for the second time this month to clean out tree roots in the drain. I was doing laundry and ended up with a basement full of water and suds. Ugh.

Good luck installing your new toilet ring. Worth every penny IMHO.

 

[tberube]

verry nice.

 

[Linda W]

DKS, you are toooooooooooooooooooooo funny!!!

[risingsun]

Congrats!! You''ve gone from the CAD to the wax...you must be thrilled

Keep on keeping on...your ring will be finished in no time
