Well, it quickly sounded fishy as soon as I read as far as volcano -- I thought you were about to suggest he throw her in as a sacrifice.

You could do that. Kiss

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Hmmm. A better gaming experience or breaking a girls heart. Difficult decision. Undecided

So I better get her the ring, insure it at twice its value, have it stolen, collect the money and buy a new ring and PC. Oh, and then confess the whole scam to her so I wouldn't be lieing. Grin

I knew I could depend on you all for some great advice! Grin

(Honestly though, she's getting a ring. Wink

Don't make a stink about it to her. Not now, not ever. Get the ring. Forget about what happened (just be sure it doesn't happen again). Never, never, lie. Certainly not to a fiance or girlfriend. It'll come back at ya someday.

You might consider going back to where you bought it and complain. Sounds like it was defective.

Personally, I can never understand the fuss about a big clonker of an engagement ring and think that they are a complete waste of money. I never bought my wife one, instead spent the cash on a custom made wedding ring. October is our 20th anniversary.............

Rings, like Valentine's day are a rather modern bit of Western culture. Before the 20th century, other types of betrothal gifts were common. (Wiki).....Before the end of the 19th century, the bride-to-be frequently received a sewing thimble rather than an engagement ring. This practice was particularly common among religious groups that shunned jewellery. Engagement rings didn't become standard in the West until the end of the 19th century, and diamond rings didn't become common until the 1930s. Now, 80% of American women are offered a diamond ring to signify engagement.

Go with the thimble, I am intrigued to know what happens Grin

I'll pass on the thimble idea, I'd end up at the proctologist to get it removed. Shocked

I really never could understand why the engagement ring is such a big deal. I never wear any rings myself.

Your right on all points Apex. I've had too much experience in these areas. Tongue

I can't return the ring as the store closed up last year.

I'd cut off her ring finger and point out that a) she won't lose the bits again as she can't wear a ring and b) she won't p*ss you off with her half-wittedness!
Use the Hungarian method, my wife and I have matching wedding rings (red, white and 18ct gold). In Hungary you wear the ring on your left hand whilst engaged and on the right once married. No change of rings Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Isn't it Haribo? I have no idea what that's got to do with this but it made me breath hard to avoid splattering my expensive drink all over the screen Grin

She'd still have seven fingers left. Plenty enough to adorn! I like the more economical Hungarian tradition though. Apparently the western nations have adopted this two ring circus during courting because one man, hundreds of years ago gave a promise ring to his Bo. I can picture the maids gathering and tittering over the first ring. And the rest is history... Cool
