Thanks to everyone's replies on this. Its been a bad few days. I keep having bad dreams and have yet to get a good night sleep.

I just found out that there was a rash of burglaries on the 4th. One town over, someone was out mowing his lawn and surprised the robbers.... and he got seriously stabbed with a knife. That could have been hubby if it was the same robbers!

I'm still not settled with all this. I miss my camera something awful. I can't secure financing to get one on a credit card. Its something I have to live without until I can find a way to afford a $400+ camera.

I've come to terms as best I can with my missing wedding ring. I am wearing a sapphire and gold band I bought many years ago. It went on just fine and feels comfortable, but there's no way I'd ever be able to remove it without losing 20 pounds. I've tried everything to get this band off. Its not budging! So I guess this "new" old band is staing put as my wedding band for a while... maybe forever~!
