    Wife's cousin's fiancé bought her a $15,000 engagement ring. What does he do for work? He fills in pot holes for the city on a middle class salary. She was telling us that he did it because he really loves her and got her the ring she really wanted. I had a beer with him in his den one night and was lamenting that he bought the thing on credit with 22.99% interest if he doesn't pay it off within a year, but wants her to be happy. Yikes.

    Every 8.63 months we have the wedding/engagement ring conversation.

    I agree that things are often out of hand with people going into silly debt for the ring. But I think it's ok to give an engagement ring. Just keep it reasonable to your circumstances and budget. I got my wife a $1500 ring, which is expensive, but doable at the time. But whether you spend $15, $150, or $1,500,000 on it, what matters is that it's not a source of stress and pain but a source of joy. So if your fiance-to-be is a righteous bitch about the ring size, probably a red flag for the rest of your life.

    Better idea: give a ring to the father of the bride and propose to him instead. If you step out of line with his daughter, he'll punch you out with the ring on. Truly the foundation of a solid marriage.

    I probably shouldn't polish off my bottle of wine tonight, right? I don't have to be at work for 11 more hours. Eh, it's probably fine.

    I never understood asking the father for permission. Is she not an adult? Or you have to work out the details for the transfer of the heads of cattle in her dowry. Then I guess it makes sense.

    Also, never propose during a sporting event. Actually, do. This shit is hilarious.

    That's what I never did understand about gay marriage. Whose dad gets the cattle?

    I had a friend who was going to propose to his girlfriend on a vacation they were taking after Christmas. During her family's Christmas get together he asked her dad for permission. Her dad told her mom. Her mom blurted it out to the whole family during dinner. Long story short, my friend got engaged on Christmas.

    I'm pretty sure my husband told/asked/whatever my mom that he was going to ask me, I don't think he asked my dad. Of course, I was mad at him the whole night until he proposed. Then I felt bad for being a jerk, a little. Actually, no. I stand by my being a jerk that night. At least he knew what he was getting into.

    Absolutely shitty driver that has zero ability and tons of luck.

    He actually initiated a Scandanavian Flick unintentionally which led him to spinning of the cliff.

    Moron should have died.

    Learn from me: if you're buying a wedding ring, insure that motherfucker!

    I spent several grand on my wife's ring. She didn't demand anything specific, but the band was custom made, a one-off thing and the 1.51 karat center stone was colorless and almost flawless (forget the exact specs). It was beautiful. I was able to pay for it in cash, not a big spender personally so I only cried for a little bit.

    What did hurt was the reason I say "was" instead of "is":

    We were getting close to our wedding and decided to lake, stopped at a fucking Dairy Queen drive thru of all places, when I looked down at my wife's hand and noticed that the center stone was missing and two of the prongs were broken. Our best guess was it fell out in a grocery store, and if that's the case, some lucky motherfucker is probably holding onto a $5,000 loose diamond right now. Fortunately, a few weeks prior, I decided against my better judgment at the time to put the ring on my homeowner's insurance (my general dislike for insurance and penny pinching ways had a hiccup, and that saved my ass).

    Unfortunately, the wedding was only 6 days away. To make matters worse, I had purchased the ring in another city. The next morning my wife and I were on a flight, en route to tearing the jeweler a new asshole. Fortunately diamond rings are always insured for more than you paid for them, so the ring she married me with is a little larger to say the least. There's also a jeweler in a certain city who is now knows me on a first name basis, and I learned a difficult lesson about insuring your valuables.

    Thank you for reminding me to get to the jewelers to clean my ring and have my prongs checked (that sounds dirty), I think it's been a few years.

    What a fucktard. He should be pulled meat strewn across the rocks.

    Beautiful view though, no denying that.

    Do not deny the nation that landed a man in the sun and returned him in 48 hours using Coleco Vision computers.

    I have no doubt they built a hydrogen bomb and tested it without notice. A bomb with a thirty-mile burn radius and a shockwave that can circle the earth is easy to hide. Never mind the fact it's impossible for them to even build the bomb since it would take years just to get their one and only nuclear plant simply up and running... They can still do it.

    This is the country that test-fired a missile at the Pacific Ocean....and missed. They are the fucking laughing stock of the entire galaxy.

    A whole bottle? Wow.

    For the office party someone got me wine bottle stoppers. My boss laughed, and we both had the same thought. "Who the fuck doesn't finish a bittle of wine once it's opened?"

    Right? I was only mentioning it because I shouldn't be drinking at all since i have to work tomorrow. Last night I stayed up too late reading and I had a hard time getting up this morning, no alcohol involved.

    Well the US did register a 5.1 magnitude event off North Korea. If it's an earthquake, so be it. If they actually did get a big boy toy, the fallout from this is gonna be hi-rarious!
