Can this be true?

[DNo]

I don't know the word but the power of certain minds? Is it real?

3 years ago I had a week's horrible unexpected hospital stay. I swelled up so much I took my engagement ring off (not my wedding ring).

When I came home I put it somewhere "safe" as I was still bloated and since then I haven't found it. I'm almost certain it was in the kitchen but to this day I haven't found it.

It's a beautiful ring, not massively expensive (cost £375 18 years ago). It was designed based on Monica's ring from Friends but opposite settings - emerald cut sapphire, with a small diamond either side on a white gold plain band.

Can anyone help me find it please? 🙈 I'm not spiritual but willing to try this ridiculous plea to being my lovely eing back to me.

I second the prayer to St Anthony. Works for me.

Under the microwave.

Knicker/sock drawers

Shelf in wardrobe within a container

I was also thinking behind bookcase - nod to @shrunkenhead but actually behind some seven inch singles. You got any vinyl? Good luck! Ring, get working too and find your owner!

[Lesserspotteddogfish]

In or under bedroom chest of drawers.

It's fallen under the bed

Unused teapot?
Decorative jug?

Oh you are all so lovely!

So far today I have looked:
On top of my kitchen units got all cups out and looked inside each one
In my sewing box
In my two dressing gowns as well as ny husband's one
In every egg cup (I keep finding them in different cupboards!)
Got my built in cutlery drawer out (hideously filthy)
All wash bags
My little travel suitcase I take with me for hospital visits
My travel document folder thing
My shoes that I haven't worn for ages in the bottom of my bed
My bookcase

Nothing. Apart from realising my house needs a good deep clean and wondering whether to claim on my house insurance.

Thank you all so much though, been really nice to read through all of these following what was in effect, a slightly drunken post last night. 😂 I promise to come back if I ever find it and tell you where it was!

[Hillsmakeyoustrong]

Could it be somewhere safe say in your bathroom? Have you looked in other rooms or have you mainly concentrated on the kitchen?

[LookItsMeAgain]

Sorry @DNo I do hope you find your ring.

I would be thinking that you may have put it up high, if you stack mugs or cups and you may have put it in one on the bottom of the stack?
If you have the little containers that you can put dried food like pasta in for example or loose rice, could you have hidden it in one of them?
If you had an old medicine (as in tablets) bottle from the pharmacy, the ones that the pharmacist would attach the dispensing sticker to, could you have put it in that?
If you have a cutlery tray in the cutlery drawer, is it under the tray (most people wouldn't take that out of the drawer).

Are you sure it's in the kitchen and not in your bedside table?

I'm such a twat. When I lose things I pray out loud 3 times to St Christopher. Reading this thread I discover it should be St Anthony!!!

However I recommend giving St Christopher a try as he is always very helpful. Maybe as he gets less requests than Anthony 🤣

I hierarchy of saints to help you..

"Hello this is the Saint help line. If you're looking for something that is lost, press 1 for St. Anthony. When he goes on a break or his line is busy, St. Christopher steps in.
Press 2 for St. Patrick - he is always getting rid of things...like snakes out of Ireland, but get's particularly busy in March
Press 3 for St. Stephen - he likes a good bank holiday the day after Christmas Day
Press 4 for St Jude - he likes lost causes
Or stay on the line and God or one of the holy Trinity will be with you shortly!"

Inside the finger of a glove.

St Christopher's your man OP! He's probably sitting there going "FGS! Anthony's rushed off his feet and I'm RIGHT HERE."

Poor St Christopher though, "No missus I can't find your house keys but I'll make sure when you get in the car that you'll be fine!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is fantastic 😂😂😂

[SummerHouse]

Its inside your "Friends" DVD case. You knew that you would remember coz it's based on Monica's ring.

Do you use those scented drawer liners? If so lift them out to check. I use one of those retractable metal tape measures to rake under the fridge for lost small items.

[millymog11]

have you contacted the hospital (are you sure you did bring it home?) have you looked through all the luggage bags you used for your hospital stay? Have you checked your washing machine (if you put it in a pocket?) coat pocket of the coat you were wearing?

Failing that, get/borrow a metal detector?

[heathspeedwell]

When I lost my engagement ring it was in the bathroom cabinet. Good luck with your hunting, hope it turns up soon.

[TheWolves]

Put another ring on and see where it occurs to you to put it.

It'll be in a 'safe place'.

[chocorabbit]

Did you put it in a kitchen or bedroom drawer? Remove all drawers and check underneath.

[ThatCheeseIsMine]

What the St Anthony stuff?

I don't think it is, even if you don't believe in saints/supernatural help, it probably works in a similar way to the other methods. You take on board that St Anthony will help you find lost things and that idea probably helps to unlock your actual subconscious knowledge of where it is or is likely to be.

Also, it's nice to think of him helping you (I say that as a total atheist!) and that improves your positivity and frame of mind.

[LetMeSpeak]

What a load of absolutely gobwash.

St Anthony Prayer

[Vegetablesupreme]

Have you got a jar or pot with Emery board, nail scissors, handcream etc? It could be in there
