Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 8200603, member: 22331"]Like you I'm just old, and old-fashioned loving'beautiful settings". I have everything I ever wanted, with the "crown-jewel" being a perfect woman. After enjoying many "more flawed" (as I) beautiful ladies, but knowing my diamond in the rough "farm-girl" for years, I let my, then current gem, free for her to find a husband. The treasure of my life was casually dating my contiguous neighbor. She came to me, asking if she could be THE "replacement". In our years together we bought her 5 secluded wooded acres backed up to the St. Croix river. We built her a home and out-buildings of her design. She now has enough money for life, and a guaranteed "buy-back" certified coin collection in excess of 6 figures. She never asked for anything, or objected. We got her 40+ Y.O. Son to live with her, driving ~75 miles each direction to work at beginning/end of week. We recently shared 30 years of peaceful (i.e. never an argument, only "discussions") shared companionship. I asked if she would like a better ring than the common commitment band she originally selected. She selected a small heart shaped diamond ring at Walmart. I also believe the setting is important, but maybe not Paramount, as the "mounting". JMHO[/QUOTE]
