Day 275- lack of reading skills


1 October 2012- When I first saw this, I thought it said " mike hunt scars" and I was puzzled, then i interpreted it to mean that mike enjoyed hunting cars.  then I read it outloud and NSFW.  If your surname is hunt, do not name your child Michael,  and especially don't shorten it to Mike.  Mick is less likely to cause problems. And I know that he is a car sales person, but really, did no one actually look at it? read it alound?

Day 272- Back where it belongs


28 September 2012- My seond engagement rign went missing for a month or so (and a move in between).  Once found it was taken to the jewelers for a resize and an appraisal.  Very happy to have it back.  We bought it in Japan, and it fits better with the wedding ring than the original engagement ring.
