As you are well aware…
In conjunction with “WinesByWives“… Tamra Barney is searching for some deserving couple to give the diamond she won on the finale of the Real Housewives of Orange County.
Tamra Barney’s engagement ring…
Here are the requirements, from “WinesByWives“:
There MAY be a SH reader who truly does need an engagement ring and DOES have a compelling story to submit…
If you DO submit your story and are selected as one of the top five, please let us at SH know! The ring winner will be chosen by voters…





I believe the ring should got to Mark dinning. When you listen to his song and see the video, you will understand why I nominated him.
Or if not Mark Dinning, then Ray Peterson should get it. Just listen to his sad tale.
MP: LOL!!! Two VERY deserving… both compelling stories! Hope they submit their story! Too funny!! TFC!! SH
Thanks SH. Mark Dinning had a great influence on me back in those days.
When I was a teenager and out on a date, I would purposely park my car on the railroad tracks and when the train was coming I would tell my date that I left my ring in the car and not once, not even once did any of my girlfriends go running back to the car to get my ring. Fortunately used cars were very cheap back then.
bahahahaha. Miles you are cracking me up.
Those old songs greatly influenced teenagers in that era, especially me. When I first heard “Tell laura I Love Her”, I secretly borrowed my Dads’ 56 Olds and took it to the Heidelberg race track. I didn’t win anything, but at least I didn’t flip it and catch on fire. However a night of racing left the car pretty banged up and when my dad finally saw it and started accusing me, I simply turned the tables on him and told him that he did it when he was out drinking. End of argument plain and simple since he never remembered anything after going on a bender. Yes, those truly were the days!
lol. My brother totalled every vehicle my stepdad left behind when he passed away. Motorcycle, Truck, his mid-life crisis mitsibitchy sports car. The only one he didnt get his hands on was the 70 chevelle that my stepdad had restored. Luckly my momma sold that one or it would be a trash heap now too.
One before he wrecked the truck, he snuck into the Bristol Motor Speedway and took it for a spin around the half mile. We didnt find out about that one till years later becuase he had videotaped himself doing it and it was in a box of home movies my momma had asked me to go thru.
Is your brother still with us? I have a brother like that, too. Never thought he would live to see 25. He is still with us and now has two teenage boys of his own. Ha! What comes around goes around. But I love them all.
Yeah he is still “with us” but “away” as in the pentatentary. Not a doubt in my mind that GOd has a plan for him or he would have been taken out several times over with all the chances he has taken and the crazy crap he has done. The thing is when or if he ever has children of his own he will be able to head them off at the past becuase their wont be one thing they will try to pull that he aint already done.
Well, first, how many carats is it? I don’t wanna be wasting my time on writing a story if it’s like, one carat, or something…….
What if it’s one of those blood diamonds????? Then what?
Then ‘no thanks’……I like very long sleeves……
Here’s another one.
How about an egg necklace instead??
This is a sweet promotion, actually. I give kudos to whoever it was who thought of this idea if it wasn’t Tamra herself. If it was, it’s generous and a warm gesture on her part.
All I could think of when they were waiting in line to have their diamond weighed is what Gretchen must have been thinking. “Oh dear God, please let mine be fake!”
Yeah I bet. She was prolly giving production the “evil eye” the whole time.
Lol, why didn’t production think to give Gretchen the real one? I would’ve loved to see the look on her face!
Too bad for Alexis, I was hoping it would have been her. Then at least she’d have 1 real diamond lol
OT… SH, is the APB still out for AOM?
Not: YES!!! Where the hell is AOM??? TFC!! SH
Who was “surprised” Tamra won the real diamond? Give me a break, some lame producer tied it into her “real” engagement to her son Eddie, their destination wedding for Bravo and if she’s willing to get it on again in a hot tub shell be asked back next year.
I should win the ring I just had to pawn mine to pay for rent and electric after being together for 21 years
