wait a second here, i get Single Woman Floozy Powers and NO ONE TOLD ME?!?! i've been doing it all wrong! or maybe because i am single AND i wear a ring on the finger, they don't work. that might be a better explanation.
i have actually been chided by older women for
wearing a ring on that finger when i am not engaged or married. i received a ring from my nana that she got from my grampa when they were married (they are divorced and have been for 'centuries' as she puts it). the only finger it fit on was my ring finger and now even though that one is no longer wearable, i feel weird without it on so i still wear one. 'but how are all those nice boys supposed to know i am not married and still eligible if i tease them by wearing it?' who said i was looking to get married?
Azrail, i think you handled yourself with a lot of grace. certainly better than i would have

but then again according to same chiding older woman, that's another reason i haven't found a 'nice boy' yet.
