IBTP and yes - except right now - finger is bandaged up

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:12:59 PM EDT

[#14]

I do, but not when I'm at home. I've never been one to wear it 24/7.

He's never taken his off though unless it's a safety hazard with whatever he's working on.

When I was married yes, it was my wife who had trouble wearing hers.

This however my ring did save my hand once from being crushed while moving furniture!

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:13:55 PM EDT

[#17]

Nope.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:14:52 PM EDT

[#18]

No, I like my fingers.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:16:20 PM EDT

[#20]

Only take it off to be cleaned.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:16:44 PM EDT

[#21]

Boating accident.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:17:23 PM EDT

[#22]

Yes, but I take it off at work. Also wear a Master Mason's ring.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:18:16 PM EDT

[#23]

I only take it off when I am working with my hands, mixing foods with my hands (meatloaf, hand-making burgers, etc.), or need to be wearing gloves (shooting, hunting, butchering a deer) or doing some sort of exercise that requires my hand on a bar (pull-ups, weightlifting).

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:18:36 PM EDT

[#24]

Almost 24/7 except when doing work that involves mechanic work.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:18:37 PM EDT

[#25]

Nope, why bother.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:19:45 PM EDT

[#26]

Yes now that I have a desk job, but No when I was an AC Mechanic

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:20:09 PM EDT

I was particular about my ring. I wanted a copy of my father's wedding ring. That's what a man's ring should look like in my mind, because that's what I grew up looking at.

Had to have it cobbled up all custom-like, and the result was everything I hoped for. I wear it with pleasure.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:21:00 PM EDT

Google "finger degloving injury" on images.google.com for reasons why not to.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:21:44 PM EDT

[#32]

No. Well, I should say occasionally. Special nights out I wear it on my ring finger. Usually I have it on a chain around my neck. Otherwise the ring falls off during the winter months and my fingers swell during the summer...makes it rather uncomfortable all the dang time.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:22:06 PM EDT

[#33]

i keep it on my old dog tag chain, cant ware it at work, have a guy at work missing a finger because of his

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:22:21 PM EDT

[#34]

I voted sometimes....when working around the Bradley's and other armor, I take it off, I like having fingers attached to my body...other than that, I always wear it, its a symbol of a commitment/Oath I made to my wife....

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:23:07 PM EDT

[#35]

I used to, but then I was constantly taking it off out of necessity while I was working, at the gym, working on stuff, etc that I began to get paranoid about losing it. Plus sometimes I have to deal with shitbirds, and I don't necessarily want to advertise that I have a family.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:23:47 PM EDT

[#36]

Yes. Always.

ETA - will remove for safety or to clean greasy hands after working on a car or whatever.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:24:22 PM EDT

[#37]

I had one cut off due to a smash at work (hammer related injury) many years ago (actually, two marriages ago)

I still wear mine every day.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:24:33 PM EDT

[#38]

I voted yes, but I don't. But I did when I was married.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:24:35 PM EDT

[#39]

I wear mine with the exception of when I'm at the gym to lift. The bar would wear down the soft gold too much.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:25:24 PM EDT

[#40]

Yes. Except when I sleep, work out or play golf/playsports.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:26:15 PM EDT

[#41]

No, for safety reasons. I'm a mechanic, too much of a chance to get cruhed or having

hot metal from welding or torching land on and sticking to it.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:26:32 PM EDT

[#42]

Yes

I don't care for jewelry, but also I do WAY too much stuff that would be dangerous (if you've never seen a "deglove" injury from a ring, google it, as mentioned above). My wife didn't bother buying one for this reason. I have one from my practice wife, but I only wore it for a month or two, then put it back in the box.

The most important thing is this: I do not need a ring to remind me of my wonderful, beautiful wife, and I don't need a ring to keep other women at bay (not that they would want my sorry self), as I would never do ANYTHING to cause my wife the least discomfort or concern. I absolutely "avoid the very appearance of evil" and a ring wouldn't help this in the least.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:28:13 PM EDT

[#44]

I have taken mine off when working on high voltage or in possible entrapment situations, but otherwise it stays on.

Lost 50 lbs., the ring falls off, so no.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:30:14 PM EDT

[#47]

Everyday for the past 13 years (even though there were a couple of times I wanted to shove it...down her throat

)

Besides my grandfathers wristwatch my dad gave me (and no, he didn't need to sneak it out of a POW camp) it's the only piece of jewelry I even own.

First one wouldnt slip over my arthritic knuckles so wifey got me another one after 10 years. She'd always bitch because I'd take it off at work where I was sticking my hands into moving machinery, she could not comprehend the saftey aspect of not wearing one. Then I'd forget to put it on at home and i would get reminded again, even while I'm just doing yard work. I was doing some painting at home one week and wearing latex gloves and didnt want to wear it under gloves I told her. Well, one time I pulled off my gloves while I was wearing it and the ring must of slipped right off with the gloves adn got tossed in the trash. Never saw that ring again and havent had a ring for 2 years now.

Posted: 9/13/2010 7:33:09 PM EDT

[#49]

I wear mine all the time. With the exceptions of When I am washing my hands at work (dont want to drop it down the drain) and working on a machine. It is titanium so i can do some things with it just dont want to get my finger ripped off
