Wedding rings

ouch

ouch

I could tell you about the time i was working on my car and my watch touched the hot wire on the altenator. After I picked the watch out of my burnt skin I decided not to wear these kind of things anymore. By the way $10 timex from wal mart still works amazing.

Don't wear it. Married 20 yrs. I have had it catch on things when working around the house (non-electric work. Decided I don't like the odds in those situations either. Never thought about the auto electric issues.

Anyone have a titanium or tungsten ring?- After we bought my ring I was told that my ring couldn't be cut off if my finger were to swell up and need medical attention. So I take mine off whenever I play basketball, work with anything that could smash my hand, and if I do hurt that finger the first thing to come off is that ring. (Of course I might be overly conscious of my hands since the kitchen hood gave me 15 stitches in 2 fingers... the wife saw that and never says anything to me about no ring)

not sure if i just did this right?

i have two wedding rings, from the same woman/marriage. the original one was platinum, and it seems to be a pretty soft metal. it bent to the shape of my finger after working. it now is attached to my keychain. the new one, got it for an anniversary, is titanium. after bending the first one, im scared as hell to think of what would happen if i did manage to bend the new one.

so, i never wear one.....not sure she likes that

Even though I am not married, I did cast a "take it off" vote, since I had worn my class ring for many years, and have also worn a ring given to me by my late father.

Several years ago I had a broken wrist, and had external fixation rig with four stainless steel pins into the bones for a month. And of course that month was the time I had the highest average of electrical repairs to do...:roll:

ZOG,

Back when I was in apprenticeship training, I remember seeing a photo of a wedding ring and a wrench, that formerly belonged to a lineman, welded together.

From what I remember, he was wearing linemans gloves and the ring chafed the rubber.

Hopefully, we're a little more conscientious in this day and age.

Thats why rings are not allowed to be worn in rubber gloves.
