Emily Yoffe: Good afternoon, everyone. Let's get to it.

I know this is unusual, but I've worn my wedding ring even after the divorce. It's a reminder of the short period of happiness I had, my two great kids who resulted from my marriage, and the many life lessons I learnt from both the marriage and divorce. I am now about to embark on my second marriage in my 40s and I want to continue wearing my ring. My fiance doesn't understand this and thinks I should take it off. He isn't enthusiastic about the idea of me wearing two wedding bands on my fourth finger. We've had a lot of debates over this. He thinks I should respect his wishes, I think he should respect mine.

Slate staffers weren't the only ones missing messages. We received an outpouring of responses from readers who reported lost messages from friends, employers, and—just as in Elizabeth's case—good Samaritans looking to return lost possessions.

"I lost my wallet a month ago, and as soon as I read this, went to my 'Other' folder and lo and behold, there was a message from over a month ago saying that someone had found my wallet," wrote Michael Stafford Gelberg. "UN FREAKING BELIEVABLE. I just hope he had the heart to hold on to it for this long." At least two other readers discovered similar messages, one after losing an iPod Touch, and the other after losing a work-issued laptop last April.

Melissa Zentgraf, a professional recruiter, wrote that she missed around ten messages from friends of friends who were interested in positions she was recruiting for. "So not only do I lose business, I look like a beyotch to the friends who referred them to me," she said. "Actually explains why one person has been giving me the cold shoulder lately."
