here is my ring story (and yes...it was even funny at the time...more so now)
So, my sociopathic 2nd ex-husband (because I do marriage well..eyeroll) gave me a cheapish little ring for an engagement ring...
I am not a real jewelry wearer and expensive things make me nervous...even so, it was pretty, I thought but semi-fake (well...very fake)
anyway
when it was revealed that he had a torrid affair with the then youngster (like 18ish young)I took my engagement ring and wedding ring off and set it by the bed
he came over at some point and took the engagement ring and GAVE IT TO THE YOUNGSTER!!!!
she ran into me and flashed her fake ring that was my fake ring and said
look what your husband gave me? it was yours but it's mine now
or something to that affect....
little did she know that it was a fake ring and turned my finger green...she was welcome to it
long may it turn her finger green!!!!!!
Donna...I did not know you had birdcages and butterflies around your house but it does seem very fitting for you!!!! Wen I was a little tyke, my grnadmother kept canaries and I would always let them out of the cage...it hurt my heart that they were stuck in there
