My big scare this AM- I forgot to share!

Of course I have a usual routine on getting ready.
I dont sleep with my ring on and i take it up to the bathroom with me and leave it on the counter, far away on the corner.
I went to place it on this morning and the ring bounced, & bounced all the way to the sink...fell in, circled the sink.... AND.........
At this point I jumped in the sink, threw my arms in and SAVED my ring from going down the drain.
The sink also happens to not have a cover on drain so just has a hole. (not my house, I dont ask) so it would of went all the way down.

I grabbed it,placed it on my finger and my heart was racing like crazy and had toothpaste all over my arms (just finished brushing my teeth).

I would of BUGGED!!!!

My ring is safe on my finger! Phew!

Thats why when I take it off, I always put it in the same place.

Thank god you saved your ring!
That's a terrible way to start your day. What ever you do do not bring your ring back in that bathroom unless it's on your finger. That was too close and you definitely don't want that to ever happen again.
I'm glad you saved it. Great save!

Good save! I too do not sleep with my ring on... So I leave it in the same box FH proposed with on my night stand and I place it in there every night and that is the last thing I put on before I leave the house. It has become such a standard routine that I have never forgotten to wear it once!

I don't sleep with my ring on either and I had a scare like that so now I don't put on my ring until I am about to leave the house cuz I don't want another heart attack

OMG, that must've been so scary!!! I NEVER take it off and leave it on the sink in the bathroom or the kitchen, even with a plug. I only take it off to shower and then it goes in its box on my nightstand. I'm really glad you saved it tho, good for you!!!

Oh my lord...I don't know what I would've done. I do know me though....I would have to have it NOW. I could see a hammer in hand and me breaking the pipes until I freed it. Thank God you caught it!

I never post but I just feel the need to share this with you ladies. I had a similar experience, not with my engagement ring but with my grandmothers diamond earring. It actually fell in the sink, bounced around.... I couldn't catch it and down the drain it went. My advice is - do not panic if this happens to you. As long as the water is not running, the pipes are shaped so that it may settle underneath your sink before being lost forever. You can take off the pipe and there is a chance that it will just be at the bottom of the pipe. I had a heart attack (the earrings are very sentimental) and i took the pipes off with my bare hands. Thank god i was able to get it back. The key is to stay calm and do not put on the water!!! Or better yet - never put valuable jewelry anywhere near the bathroom or kitchen sink!

I am so glad you did not lose your ring...I had the same sink with no drain and I was able to catch it too before it went into the abyss. Now I know Lulu I know what to do and only hope I do not panic, Thanks LuLu
