Working around heavy machinery most of my life I never wore jewelry
except to go out. And living here my hands are often in the dirt so
no jewelry unless going out. I have several rings but rarely wear any
except my wedding band. And I don't need to wear a watch here because
all I need to know is daytime and nighttime. I do wear a watch when
going to a doctor appointment because I hate to be late and am curious
as to how late they are... I've always found it odd that in my
experience there's never a clock anywhere in a doctor's office, at
least none the patients can see.
