Disinfectants are a girl’s best friend. Pity about her name getting out, though. (snicker)
I wondered what the wedding would cost…
Oh, she’ll still wear it alright! (If her fiance hasn’t taken it back by now after that brilliant move).
(Oh, bother — think the gal needs the ring sized or a lil’ thing called a ring-guard — very cheap, very effective. No need for disinfectant!)
I think the bigger story is how does society get hoodwinked into thinking a rock is worth more than a working toilet, perfectly functioning drain lines,a concrete slab floor and several man hours of labor.
LOL! DeBeers marketing, of course.
Always nice to have access to a skilled technician.
Looks like they have some money to throw around, too.
The moral of the story (that you all seems to miss!) is : when in trouble, don’t call city services! Turn to a private contractor.
Or, in immortal, on so many levels, words: the state is not your friend.
… and all I got was this crappy ring!
At least they are generous with their tips, and don’t seem to demand that others kow-tow to their whims.
Reminds me of the beginning to “Bread and Tulips”. Of course that turned out completely different.
I would hope she would still wear it! My labrador retriever ate EVERYTHING in sight, including jewelry. Including my diamond earring studs. One pair of rubber gloves, one set of chopsticks, one old toothbrush and a whole bunch of rubbing alcohol later, I had my earrings back and have worn them ever since with nary a worry.
A magpie in lab retriever clothes!
$78,000 for a ring? Good God.
What I want to know is with that kind of jack why they were eating in a diner. Of course could be after buying the diamond it’s all he could afford.

Actually the ring was only $100.00
The other $77,900.00 is shout money….which is of course the opposite of hush money.
For $78K that had to be some rock. They made the smart move hiring the plumber contractor.
Score one for the private sector. This story would make Joe the Plumber smile.
Funny thing is, she’s from a town about 12 miles from here, and no one knows who she is. There aren’t that many wealthy people here, so that’s curious.
Sheryl,
The rubber gloves, the alcohol, even the tooth brush I understand, but I gotta ask – what the heck were the chopsticks for?
if you like diamond earrings, you can look on the internet for other designs that would suit you ,~’
