1357.0. "CAN'T FIND MY RING" by WJOUSM::CASH () Thu Sep 13 1990 13:50

    A few weeks ago, I lost a ring.  It's very special and I can't find it
    anywhere.  I've lost it a couple of other times, but it always turned
    up.  Not this time...yet.  It's a 14KT gold anniversary ring (size 8) 
    with five small inlaid diamonds.  
    
    A friend of mine suggested I post this topic here.  Is it strange to
    ask if someone could suggest a way of "tuning-in" to the ring and
    possibly know where it's located?
    
    I've been praying to St. Jude to give me guidance or direction to
    located the ring.  I still don't have a clue.
    
    Ideas, suggestions, comments, thoughts?
    
    Please reply,

    Isn't it ST. Anthony you should be praying to? Sometimes it helps if
    you can defocus your attention on the ring,and,it might suddenly come
    to you,where to look.

1357.3Could be St. AnthonyWJOUSM::CASHThu Sep 13 1990 14:1615
    Maybe it is St. Anthony, but I always thought it was St. Jude.  I
    haven't been spending every waking moment or anything like that on this
    ring, but I do think about it almost every day.  
    
    I've retraced my steps from the time I remember seeing it on my desk to
    the time I realized I didn't have it, which was less than 24 hours.  I
    have no idea where it is.  I just wish I knew whether or not I can ever
    find it again.  I mean, if I knew I dropped it in the ocean somewhere,
    it's highly likely that I won't be seeing it again!  Or if I knew
    someone else was wearing it with no intent of finding it's rightful
    owner.
    
    Thanks for your reply.

1357.4BTW, it is St. AnthonyATSE::FLAHERTYThe Hug TherapistThu Sep 13 1990 14:3518
T,

Your story reminds me of a ring I 'lost' many years ago.  The ring was 
very special to me as it was an engagement ring.  My fiance and I were 
in an automobile accident when I was 19 and he was killed, therefore 
the ring had significance to me more than words can say.  Later, when 
I eventually married someone else, the ring disappeared.  I think I 
might have hidden it, although it could have been stolen as our 
apartment at the time was broken in to.

I firmly believe that the ring will 'materialize' when I have removed 
the psychological blocks I have around its disappearance, when I able 
to 'let go' of whatever prevents me from finding it.

Just some thoughts...

    Digging far back into long term memory, St. Anthony was the saint
    you prayed to if you lost something; St. Jude was the Patron Saint
    of hopeless things?

1357.6then St. Anthony IT ISWJOUSM::CASHThu Sep 13 1990 14:5220
    It is St. Anthony?  Then who or what is St. Jude the saint of?  Could
    this be my problem?
    
    Ro - I'm sorry to hear about your loss (es).  I do believe that the
    mind has a way of eliminating things, but hopefully your ring will
    eventually materialize when you, and it's, ready to.  
    
    My ring was given to me by someone from a past relationship who has
    since married, and we've remained friends.  And I also happen to really
    like the ring.  I don't wear a lot of rings, but I always had this one
    on.  I just liked it.  
    
    Once in a while, when I think about the ring, a picture will come in to
    my mind of where the ring might be located.  But I think those are just
    places where I haven't thought of looking yet, and really isn't of any
    significance :-).

    re: .7 (T-bone)
    
        The "cosmic anchovy" was a name John Mitchell gave himself
    in these files once.  He has since left Digital and is supposedly
    living somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area (to which he moved
    from Seattle last year.)  John Mitchell was the resident wise-guy
    skeptic (very smart and also funny) who was an enigma from time
    to time and a great foil (to me.)  This is my opinion.

	T -- Have you followed through on these pictures?  You might want
	to.  The ring may be talking to you, trying to tell you where to
	look.  You might find the ring or you might find something
	else that is lost and needs to be "found" -- hence the reason
	for losing the ring in the first place  <:-).

	Just a thought....good luck.

1357.10I follow them all...WJOUSM::CASHThu Sep 13 1990 19:1510
    Thanks for the idea Sue.  Yes, I have followed through on EVERY picture
    or thought that I get about the ring.  There aren't too many of them,
    and some of them are 'repeats', but I always look, no matter how
    many times.  (I've torn apart the top drawer of my desk at least four
    times already, everything else around it!)

    RE: .8 Frederick
    
    Actually, it was I who suggested the name "Cosmic Anchovy" to John
    Mitchell.  He liked it, so he used it.  This came to be after a
    note where he said he was the anchovy on our pizza!

1357.12St. Anthony works wonders!AKOV14::GALVINALPHA.......works for meFri Sep 14 1990 12:4319
    When I was a young girl I lost something (I can't remember what), so my
    grandmother told me to pray to St. Anthony to help me find it.  This is
    the prayer she told me to say:
    
    	St. Anthony, St. Anthony, please come around
    	My ______________ is lost and has to be found.
    
    She said to keep repeating this as often as necessary.  I have not been
    a young girl in quite a long time, but I still to this day use that
    prayer.
    
    I have a friend who does not believe in saints but when she lost her
    diamond ring, I told her to say the prayer.  She found the ring and she
    swears that she looked in that place before and it wasn't there.  Now
    she is a firm believer in St. Anthony.
    
    Good luck and Hugs,

1357.13St. Jude for the hopelessAKOV14::GALVINALPHA.......works for meFri Sep 14 1990 12:5321
    RE:  6
    
    T,
    
    St. Jude is the saint of the impossible, when you feel that nothing in
    the world can help you, that is the time to pray to St. Jude.
    The prayer for St. Jude goes like this:
    
    	St. Jude, glorious apostle, faithful servant and friend of Jesus...
    the name of the traitor has caused you to be forgotten by many, but the
    true church invokes you universally as the patron of things despaired
    of.  Pray for me who am so miserable, pray for me that finally I may
    receive the consolations and succor of Heaven in all my necessities,
    tribulations and suffering, particularly ___________________________
    And I will bless God with the elect throughout eternity, Amen.
    
    Hugs,

1357.14Found lost keys!!!XLIB::JACKSONCollis JacksonFri Sep 14 1990 14:1412
My wife lost *all* her keys about a week ago.  Since some of them were
the only copies and others were quite important, this was a very serious
loss.

We prayed faithfully (to God, in case your wondering) over the days and,
sure enough, they turned up late last night.

Praise God!!!

Hope that God shows you where you ring is as well.

    In our house, when we lost something, we were told to repeat
    "Jesus was lost and was found."
    
    Another thing I've found to work was to ask my Higher Self 
    help me locate something.  Well, I ask my Higher Self then
    go around repeating the above phrase.  Never fails.

    re: .15
    
    Thanks for your suggestion.  Maybe combining yours with some of the
    others will get me closer to finding the ring.  I'm even using a little
    reverse psychology on the ring, and thinking about replacing it.  Maybe
    then it will show itself!
1357.17looking toward the future ...CLUSTA::GLANTZMike @TAY Littleton MA, 227-4299Tue Sep 18 1990 19:345
  Maybe as interesting as how you might go about finding the ring, would
  be techniques you might employ in hanging onto it once you do find it
  again. Does anyone have any interesting experience or suggestions in
  this regard? Are there any approaches which could help to "bind" the
  ring to its owner?

1357.19it's in your pocket!!!!!!!!!!SHRFAC::ADAMSMon Sep 24 1990 23:3524
    Hey T ! Sorry to hear about your plight. Reminds me of my Mother
    searching for her engagement ring a few years ago. After looking
    for several days, she blurted out "Mom...where's my ring??! Can
    you find it for me?!" I should note that my grandmother had been
    dead a couple of years at this point. 
    Anyway, my mom goes into her bedroom and finds the ring on the 
    table by her bed. 
    Now, my take is that her mind was not allowing her to see the ring,
    even though it was there all the time. She wanted to believe that
    my grandmother would find it for her. Once she got to the point
    where she couldn't look any longer, she asked for help. Once she
    did that, her mind allowed her to see it. 
    My suggestion to you (unless the ring got ripped) is to exhaust
    all possibilities, get to a point where you NEED help finding it
    and ask. It can be God, a saint, a departed relative or even a 
    cosmic sardine. If the ring is still around, you'll find it as 
    soon as you stop looking for it. It will pop up in a most obvious
    place. 
    Well, that's my opinion anyway. As a long time reader of this
    conference, I'm sure you'll get as many suggestions on finding 
    your ring as there are cures for hiccups. 
    
                                peace -

    Well, I lost my ring sometime on the 22nd and decided to give Dejavu
    a try to find it; imagine my surprize to already find this very topic!
    
    I'm am absolutely sick over the loss of my ring given to me by my
    husband; I was wondering if there is a pysic, or seer, or someone 
    I could seek out to help me locate it?
    
    Any advise/help would be much appreciated!
    
    thanks.

1357.21additional request ...SFCPMO::CABANYAThu Sep 27 1990 16:028
    Another thought, can any of you recommend a psychic who might be able
    to help me via phone?  I live in Colorado and have been unable to
    locate anyone here.
    
    Thanks.
    
    Mary
    
1357.22WILL IT ALL RELATE?WJOUSM::CASHFri Sep 28 1990 16:0327
    I took some earlier advice, and stopped thinking about the ring.  I
    haven't even been in this conference for a while.  I opened up the
    conference this morning, and was reading through some old topics for
    quite a bit before I remembered about this note!
    
    I have not found the ring.  Yet.  But I did see one I liked very much,
    and placed an order for it.  I should have it in about two weeks.  
    
    Something interesting about writing today.  The person that gave me the
    ring flew in to town from California last night, and is visiting for a 
    few days.  (They don't know I lost the ring :-(.)  And last night I
    asked about the date for when I should expect the new ring to be
    delivered.  And this morning I decide to read DEJAVU.  It seems that
    some things are going to "come together" at some time, and I don't know
    when, and I don't know what, but I'm looking forward to it.
    
    And I will start thinking about visioning a place or a home for the
    ring, when and if it appears.  Or yelling at the top of my lungs for
    help when I need it the most.
    
    Thanks for your reply "M".  Let me know if you "hear" anything about
    the ring.  I hope it didn't get ripped....
    
    T
    
    don't know I lost the ring.
    
1357.23interesting title in .19WJOUSM::CASHFri Sep 28 1990 16:0815
    RE .19
    
    Hi M - I also wanted to say (just to add to the chain of interesting
    events) that I took particular notice to your title "it's in your
    pocket" because that's precisely where I thought I had put the ring
    when I first noticed it missing!!  
    
    When I'm not at home, and I take off my jewelry, I always put it in my
    pants or shirt pocket.  If I remember that day correctly, my jewelry
    was in my pants pocket when I got home and unpacked my bags.  But not
    my ring.
    
    Anyway - interesting that you should use that title.....

    That's funny because that's the first thing that popped into  my
    mind when I read your note. Then after rambling on about my Mom
    I didn't want to play psychic and pretend to KNOW where it was.
    I added the title as a subtle indication of my thoughts, wondering
    if you'd pick up on it. Now, I'm convinced we're on to something
    here......
    
1357.25I'll look again...WJOUSM::CASHFri Sep 28 1990 18:0110
    OK now...work with me M...
    
    "It's in the hamper" reminds me of my room-mate who lost her diamond
    earrings about two months ago.  She found them in her hamper.  I too
    have thought about my hamper.  It's at the bottom of my closet, next to
    my shoes.  I tore it apart, took out all the shoes, checked the insides
    of all the shoes, and everything around them.  This was about two weeks
    ago, but I will look again tonight.

1357.27a suggestion.IJSAPL::ELSENAARFractal of the universeSun Sep 30 1990 17:2010
M and T: you seem to be sensitive to each other. Now if you, M, are really
capable of "picking up" knowledge about the ring, then it could equally well
be T's knowledge of the ring, and T's ideas of where it could have been
left, as it could be the knowledge of the ring's *real* location.

So if you *are* working together, I would suggest to try and devise a way
where M will not be "side-tracked" by T's "imagination".

1357.28new bait perhapsWJOUSM::CASHMon Oct 01 1990 11:2916
    RE:  .26 - I have not considered thoroughly searching my car (actually,
    I own a JEEP), but I will today since you mentioned it.
    
    As for you 'M', I went with the hamper idea as soon as I got home.  As
    I mentioned, my hamper is usually at the bottom of my closet with all
    my shoes.  I got in the closet, and started taking out my shoes again
    to see if it had fallen inside on of them.  GET THIS.  The brand name
    of one of the first pairs of shoes I pick up, is "De-Ja-Voo".  (Made in
    Brazil.)  Kinda coincidental, wouldn't_cha_say?  BTW, these were not the
    shoes I had on the day I lost the ring.   
    
    The hamper wasn't in the closet, but downstairs in the laundry room. 
    So I searched the room, and the washer and dryer inside and out. 
    No bites.  Not even a nibble.  Maybe I should try different bait?

    It's come to me T.....Two places i keep "seeing" your ring: 
    
    Primary place (big vibes on this) - take the cover off your agitator
    in your washing machine (most just pop off) loosen the agitator
    and remove. 
    
    Secondary place (inconsistant vibes) - I keep seeing a desk on a
    deep pile carpet...beige, brown...near a closet door with slats
    ----if this describes your place, try pulling the desk away from
    the wall . 
    
                                 I'll keep trying!

1357.33there's a connectionWJOUSM::CASHThu Oct 11 1990 17:3522
    Hey M - my hair is still standingafter your description about my desk!
    
    First of all, I did pull the agitator out the other day and looked all
    over the washer.  I had a sense about it, but found nothing.  But I
    will look again.
    
    As for the desk.....well, I have a beige pile carpet in my bedroom. 
    And I have a small dark-wood desk in there, with a closet on the
    adjacent wall having slats in the door.  Metal (off-white colored)
    slats.  
    
    HEY!  When were you in my bedroom!!!!! ;-)))))
    
    Anyway - the same night I looked under the agitator, I also looked
    around my desk.  This was about 3 nights ago.  Were you thinking about
    telling me this 3 nights ago?  Or maybe you were getting "vibes" about
    these two places because of me looking there for the ring?
    
    I'm beginning to think that you and I have some kind of connection 
    going here...but I will look again in both places tonight.

    I turned up nothing under the agitator, or behind the desk.  -M-, I
    still wonder if you got those "vibes" because I had recently looked
    in those places....hmmmm
    
    Last night, I picked up the new ring I ordered.  It's beautiful, but
    it's just not the same as the one I've "misplaced".  I will continue to
    search as I get new signals or visions.

    We must be on to something here although maybe these are abstract
    clues. Have you looked in your office at work, a place where there's
    a desk, possibly a beige carpet and undoubtedly a place you'd get
    agitated....? 
    
    Sorry for the long time responses but I've been out of work with
