About one year ago, my brother Matthew wanted some people he knew barely to stay at my house while they were in town for a funeral. I did not know them at all. I agreed to let them stay and hid a little musical ring box that contained a couple of rings and some other jewelry, just to be on the safe side. They ended up not staying here and I forgot all about the jewelry box until several months later. I started looking for it. I have been back several places more than once. Today, I became focused, once again, on finding the darn thing. So, I started looking, with a flashlight this time. I revisited some of my earlier places with no luck. I had been looking up high. Today, with flashlight in hand, I decided to look low. Low is where I found it. It was on the floor of the hall closet under a sleeping bag that Jerry has stowed there. What a joy to find something you didn't think you would ever see again. It is pretty bad when you hide something so well you can't find it! Thanks to St. Jude for answering my prayer.

Mom, I'm glad you finally found your rings...congratulations!
Posted by: Jfer at October 13, 2002 04:35 PMI too am glad you found your jewelry. There's nothing more niggling than the thought of something you've hidden and then can't find it again--you know where it is--in your house--but you can't put your finger on it. That can be so irritating! Am very proud of your tenacity in searching. Well done.

The downsides are gold jewelry legion, of course. First of all,
man
I'm just not inclined to talk to strangers in the first place. Having
