My wife's and mine are platinum which we knew was soft going in, but we liked the idea of how it can get scuffs and dings and get that 'lived in' look.

keykey posted:I bought my wife a custom designed wedding ring. After 13 years, it went into the shop a couple weeks ago because a prong broke. We got a call on Saturday that they'd have to send it to a jeweler down in LA that specializes in repairing super weird fractures with a "laser." Not even sure what that's gonna cost yet, but it sounds super loving expensive. Apparently, if it was anything other than platinum, it would have been unsalvageable. A friend of mine is a laser welder. It's a real thing.

Time for more ring chat. Wife's is my own design with a moisanite center stone and blue diamonds along the side made from 14k white gold, while mine's a stainless ring that I overpaid for.  Overall really happy with them. The stones are really well protected in my wife's so I don't expect any issues with them in the future.

My Wedding band was going to be Cobalt, as I like the look of White Gold but I wanted something durable that didn't need to be Rhodium Plated. I actually inherited my late Grandfather's Ring which is a plain 18k Gold band.

This is what I wanted with the painted titanium. I thought after a few years the paint would wear off and it'd have some character. It got that way after about nine months. Ah well. We're coming up on six years this year, looks awesome to me anyway and I regret nothing I suppose.

Sorry to interrupt your regulary scheduled ring chat, but I wish to make a public service announcement: CLEAN THE SOAP TRAY ON YOUR WASHING MACHINE   The part of the tray I could normally access without taking apart half the washing machine did not show the signs of what lurked beneath. The part in the second picture was completely covered and where it's still black in that picture it looks coffee-stained. I've never seen so much black mould in one place and am now seriously considering disassembling the entire washer. Hooray for finding out why my clothes always smell musty.  E: This is after 3 years since the last time I cleaned it (when I moved) and the last time it was just a bunch of dried out soap and no mould.

My missus told me if I ever got down on one knee in front of her to expect a trip to the dentist- she's violently anti marriage. Said she would rather spend the money for a wedding in on the house or the 4wd or a holiday so I'm not complaining in the slightest. And because of Australia's de facto laws, we basically have the same legal rights as a married couple without the paperwork!

Fermented Tinal posted:Sorry to interrupt your regulary scheduled ring chat, but I wish to make a public service announcement: I have been trying to figure out how to remove the soap tray from my LG dishwasher ever since I first got it. This is a good incentive to actually do the job, because the previous owners of my place were absolutely god drat disgusting and it took several months just to keep it from reeking of mould and wet dog when it was sitting idle with the door open.

DJ Commie posted:All this wedding ring chat and I'm getting divorced. Whhhhaaaaaaa? That sucks. I've been divorced for so long I dont remember what the wedding band was. I know it was cheap and I lost it about a year after the divorce. Kinda amused people here saying married for 6-10 years, I've been divorced for 12. Fermented Tinal posted:Sorry to interrupt your regulary scheduled ring chat, but I wish to make a public service announcement: Last time I cleared the tray was because I was half asleep and poured in deck cleaner rather than fabric softener.... and then realised the mistake about five seconds later.

Seriously, I never expected it to be as bad as it was. I had figured I'd just do a wipedown with javex and then I gazed deep into the abyss... Right now all the parts are soaking in my secret "KILL ALL THE THINGS" cleaning forumla.

I think it's mostly from the fabric softener. That plate I said was completely covered is the water inlet for the individual trays, and by far the worst of mould was growing above the softener cup and through the drain hole for the softener. It's actually been staying full of water for awhile and one of the reasons I took it apart was to solve that problem. At the very least, I'm switching back to Fleecy.

Every month or two, run a super-hot load with vinegar in the soap plate thingy. Keeps it from getting as scuzzy.

Missed the first round of congratulations, so I'll start the second round! Enjoy it. It's often prohibitively tiring, but they are only babies for like 15 minutes... then they're kids. And they're kids for a long, long time.
