I should probably take my ring off more often, but the only time is when I'm playing deck hockey.

Before I got married, my left ring finger was broken 3 separate times. Being I have a tungsten ring, I'd be a deglove candidate if it happened again.

I've never been a jewelery/watch guy. I dunno, it just feels weird to wear it. I don't need a ring to know I'm married, and I sure don't act like I'm single in public.
Kenny the kangaroo knows two married men that don't wear their rings. personally, this gentleman can't even wear a fitbit for 24 hours without habitually fiddling with it, so a wedding ring is going to be a serious challenge. ALL THE MORE REASON NOT TO GET MARRIED AMIRITE?!?!?!
Ha, i'm with you. I tried a fitbit for about a day and couldn't do it. I dunno, maybe I have a short attention span or I am a fidgiter. wearing a ring, or anything jewelry/watch/bracelet related just feels weird.

mmm, degloving.
Ah, yes..... I remember the first time I heard that phrase and the subsequent Google Images search. :?
I learned it in Iraq because I processed 9-line medevac requests. heh.

It sounds completely made up, so whatever, but we had a third country national get his 'junk' caught in a HMMWV somehow, it came across as a penile degloving. That and the guy that got shot in the balls were the two most 'OMG' inducing requests, everything else was just your average war injuries.
Did you thank them for their service...?

I never even got a wedding band. Mrs. K hasn't worn hers (or her antique engagement ring) in at least 10 years.

Did any of you Pittsburgh-area guys and gals go to the Pittsburgh Women's March? Looked like an impressive crowd. Glad to see there was one there.
What was it about?
From what I can gather, it was coordinated by mediocre crocheting women who wanted to pump up business to get rid of their crappy hat inventory.

And sanitation guys who needed overtime.
Or not... :?

You probably should have asked in the political thread...

Yeah. Never even considered it. Same with my wife. She kept her name, too. I never expected or wanted anything else.

Like mac said, my wife and I don't need that **** to know we're married.

OTOH, I dig what c2i said about looking down at the ring and smiling. I can see that. That's cool.

Makes perfect sense, but I prefer not to post in there. Sorry for the imposition (no sarcasm). Oh well, I enjoyed being a part of that day and was just curious. That's as political as I get on 5AF.

I swear, every few months I'll "remember" that Doris Day is in fact, still alive. It is crazy that she is roughly the same age as Betty White.

This is a good phone interview from last year:

What a match between Federer and Nadal :thumb: Just about everyone thought that these two would never meet again in a Slam final, but it happened with them sitting in the 17 and 9 seeds, respectively. That fifth set was amazing theater.

I received the Fidget Cube that I ordered through the Kickstarter campaign last fall. I'll have to see how it holds up, but it seems like a really high-quality product. All of the various nonfunctional doodads work smoothly and easily, and the cube is solid with a weighty heft. For example, the little joystick glides nicely and is spring loaded to self-center, and the metal ball not only rolls, but it clicks if you push it down. The side with the five buttons offers three levels of tactile goodness. Two of the buttons just have springs for silent pressing, the one in the middle clicks softly with a light press, and the other two click loudly with a hard press. I think I like the spinning wheel the best. The only downside I can see with this device is that a lot of its functions make noise (albeit not all that loudly), so use in an open office such as cubicles could lead one's coworkers to get all face-punchy after a while.

As soon as the Kickstarter took off a bunch of copycats started cranking out cheap, low-quality knockoffs. The only way to get a real one is to order directly from Antsy Labs.

Does it help with anxiety? I'm thinking about getting my grandma one, I bought her adult coloring books and she loves them

It might. It's designed to offer you something to fiddle wit as a minor distraction. It wasn't designed for anxiety, but as someone with an anxiety disorder myself, I could see it serving as a distraction so someone can divert the anxious thoughts onto something else.

I bought one because I spend a fair amount of time just staring at a monitor as I do legal research, and I noticed that I was regularly using my left hand at those times to click a pen, spin around some paperclips, etc.
