Here's the secret way to fix that, as MomHawk used to do that too.

We were visiting some friends about 15 years ago. I'm in the garage helping him work on his ATVs, and MomHawk is in the house doing whatever it is women do in these situations.

I had placed my ring on my key chain so I wouldn't get it messed up/caught on anything while working on the ATVs, and left them laying on a towel on the trunk of our car.

MomHawk and SparrowFriend (she was about that size) decided to go to the store hopped in the car and took off. The story is they got about a mile from the house, made a sharp left and heard something scrape across the back of the car. They both went "Huh, I wonder what that was?".

Later neither one of them could remember exactly where it was, and the keys were lost forever. Fortunately it was just the car keys and my ring as it wasn't my main rat's nest of keys.

Pretty much since then I haven't worn a ring, except a titanium one I bought for something like $14 that I wear on "dress up" days. My story is that since it isn't "the ring" just "a ring" it has no meaning to me and I have no need to wear it. She felt bad enough at first she let it go, then eventually she just got used to it.
