Upset about losing earring - Page 4

Nope, no bonus. We got along great other those months until she got over it.

Fact today is her "Heavenly Birthday", she would have been 96 years old. She died exactly 1 month before her 91st birthday, July 13, 2016. Very sad day for my wife today! I miss her also for many reasons.

I went out to lunch with friends today. Only the second time we got together since the quarantine. Was so happy to get together.

Wore a pair of really nice peridot and white gold earrings. Finally got to wear some of my better attire.

After lunch I passed a Sam's Club. Decided to stop because we needed a few items. When I entered they recommended that masks be worn. I wore my mask.

About an hour ago I realized I was missing my left earring. Looked all over the house. No earring. I am quite sure that I lost the earring when I put my mask on or off. I had put it on and it slipped off my left ear so I had to slip the elastic around the left ear again.

There is alot going on around my ears. I wear glasses and over the ear hearing aids. And then add the elastic for masks.

So please be mindful of earrings when taking masks on and off. I wish I had.

I almost lost my hearing aid like that. Luckly, it was on the floor of my vehicle. Now I check my ear every time i have to take a mask off.

@drizzellla I'm sorry that happened. Did you look everywhere in your car? That's where I would look.

ETA: For fancier earrings, I'd recommend choosing the kind with screwbacks. You could also consider locking earring backs.

Yes, I looked in the car. Since it was the left earring I only had to look around the drivers seat. I did not have to worry about the center console.

When I worked I was always losing my earrings. I would be on the phone and then latter I would notice that I was missing an earring. Sometimes I found it sometimes not. I now have a dish of single earrings. I like the earrings too much to throw out and many are gold or silver.

I wish that I bought locking earring backs many years ago. My collection of singles wouldn't be as large.

I completely relate! They are like socks. I have so many lonely single studs I can't bear to part with either.

Darn! Since wearing masks, I only wear lever back earrings. I figure I have a pretty good chance of keeping them on.

Oh, do I know that feeling. When I first started wearing hearing aids, I would send them flying across the bedroom.

Every time I took off a top over my head. Off the hearing aid would fly. I am getting better and not doing that as often.

I know the feeling. Around 6 years ago, I took my dog for a short walk - then I went to my mailbox, which is a community mailbox on the side of my house.

A while later, I realized that I lost one of my favorite 18KT gold 1-1/4" round hoop earrings with the snap bar that I purchased from the Q several years prior..

I then went to the 2 areas I walked - no earring.

Around 3 years later, I saw the same earrings on Costco's website - except they're 14KT gold. I ordered it immediately and they're identical in size and width - except they're not 18KT.

I'm still trying to figure out how it fell out of my ear.

Desertdi, is there a place to purchase the silicone backs in quantity? They always come with earrings with a hook (shepherd’s hook, etc.), on a card. Have bought hundreds at local art and wine events over the years. Silly me, I thought they were just there to keep the earrings attached to the cards, and I threw them all away as I wore the earrings!! What was I thinking? I have packages of the plastic disk backs, but no silicone “pillows.”

I feel your pain @drizzellla I dropped an earring because of the mask but I was still at home. I only wear hoop earrings, different sizes but lately, I rarely wear earrings for that reason.
