Bwaaa-ha-ha-ha...I will drink the coffee, then show you my Mighty Kung Fu. I will use the Mason technique, which is similar to the horse, tiger and dragon technique, but with a more level approach. Bwa-ha-ha-ha.....

he said more level approach....who said masons arent funny...LOL...King... I suggest you give either Monster ( I prefer the Blue ones) or reBull a try...that will get your day going good!!!
In order to have a constant reminder of what I should strive for on a daily basis I had a small 1" S&C tattoo placed on the inner wrist of my right hand (Mainly because I knew I'd lose a ring in no-time!). I had all intentions of having the points face me because I was getting it for me to look at and I didn’t care if it was upside down when other people saw it. Luckily my tattoo artist knew quite a bit about the subject and helped me understand why the points should face away from your body.
In retrospect I am so glad I decided to go with his advice. When I look at it every single day I don't even notice that it’s upside down anymore; I am still reminded of the lessons the Craft has taught me, which is why I got it in the first place.

I wear my ring with the two points facing me. I do so because it is the way I saw the ?????? when I was at the ?????. 
In FL digest it does not mention it.

This is how some old timers i have talked to says is the proper , unwritten way . When you are first Raised , wear it as you viewed it when you took your Obligation . And after you become a Past Master , you wear it as you viewed it from the East .I wear my ring with the two points facing me. I do so because it is the way I saw the ?????? when I was at the ?????.

The best answer I have heard came from a brother in my lodge:
My personal take on it is that It's not so much the direction of the ring, but the direction of the man that is important.
"I wear my ring with the square and compasses facing inward (towards me). Why? (1) That's how my dad and grandpa wore theirs and (2) I don't wear it to show the world I'm a Mason, but to remind myself of my obligations as a Mason. "

I couldn't agree more. I don't need a piece of jewelry to remind me of my obligations: they are written on my heart. I wear my ring proudly, because I am proud and pleased to be a Mason. Wear your Masonic jewelry proudly, too - no matter the orientation of the s&c.

Great posts, but which hand? I'm left, points towards me. I lost my wedding ring years ago and only wear my ring when I'm dressed up. I'm not much for jewelry, my ring was given to me by the widow of my next door neighbor who was in the same lodge as my father, #3 Solomon Lodge, Phila.. My Mom hocked my Dads ring before I became a Mason, and when my neighbor heard the story she gave me her husbands ring+-+++++.
It means alot to me. His name was Art Nelson, and he was a WWII paratrooper, and I think of him and my Dad everytime I wear it. You can't buy that feeling.

My instructor and I had this discussion a few years ago when I was going through the catechism. He is a 33 and said to me that it doesn't really matter. He wears his with the point facing upright when making a fist, so anyone can see it clearly. He says to me "I know I'm a Mason, and I know how to act like a Mason. This is so everyone else can see I'm a Mason." That was good enough for me.

I have found the proper way to wear a Masonic ring is on my finger .
Winter , I was at a side degree one time when a brother from Ohio sat down across from me at the dinner table and had a S & C in each ear lobe . Made me do a double take .
