I called cash for gold this afternoon. I wanted to know if they could handle 400 ounces of silver…read morein 10 ounce bars incased in a handmade wooden box, never opened. Of course they said yes, even as prices for silver are tipping $100 an ounce. They said I could walk out with a check with a seven day hold. That tells me they feel it's going above $100 / oz. and they're given themselves a seven day window.. I've sold silver before leaving with a check. It's not comfortable. They have your silver and you have a piece of paper. A promissory note. It's always worked out for me in the past.

Two decades ago when I used to tell my parents to that "I go to a lot of pawn shops" upon answering…read moretheir "so what do you do in the south"? question, the receiver goes into dead silence mode. "You go to porn shops"?! now both mouths shouting into the corded single handled analog phone. "No Ma - no Pa, it's Pawwwwnn, with an A and a W, like the root beer". The more I spin my talk the quicker I'm gonna lose them then they quit trying to figure out just what the hell their son is saying and ask about the weather, again. In my family, when there's sudden confusion, it's time to ask about the weather, were the best at it - true professionals because we're so sincere every time and we never have any intentions of it meaning anything at all. Sockets for ratchets are the coolest manual hand tools ever. You can crank and twist without even fixing anything, just make that sound and you'll get backyard mechanics respect, but eventually you'll need to fix something. For me it's my right rear tail light -- Again! -- that I keep slamming into stuff in reverse. And then it/they break(s) them like some OddLot summer squirt gun clearance sale fashioned around a pinata filled with cheap corded linkage I couldn't choke a squirrel with without it failing me. This whole reverse gear smash up derby is costing me a lot of money and time and here in poe dunk FL, it's causing me greif. I say this because I know danggummit, jumpinJohosophatz that sheriff is dying to nail my NYC arse to the wall of another cell. They're really cute when you talk to them, they're like that kid in the back of the class whose range always seemed in question but you never asked about him or her. They're continuing along you, around you and on the side of you - passively aggressively I'd say. You just smile politely and carry your concern quickly away with you because now that kid has a badge and flashing lights and no supervision. Dan had great stuff, Snap On (rocking the bumper sticker) MAC but I'm early in the rebuild of tools so I wanted to pull the trigger and buy, buy, buy but I just couldn't. Instead, I bought this nice Srixon staff bag. It's a beauty and will sit nicely with my other 7 staff bags. From electronics to jewelry, gunz and ammo - I definitely recommend Money Man.

Dwight and Dwight, Jr. are two of the nicest people that you will ever meet. Not only are they good…read morejewelers, but good people. While driving to Gold Designs to have a battery replaced in my husband's watch and my pearl bracelet repaired, I got a flat tire, a few yards away from their shop. I pulled in, jumped out and looked at my tire.(My husband recently had shoulder replacement surgery and I never have changed a flat before.) I went into the store and Dwight Jr. asked if he could help me? I explained that I had a flat tire. Without a moments hesitation, he said he would change it for me. Remember, this is Florida and the heat and humidity were high. While Dwight Jr. and Mike were outside, (Mike watching), Dwight Sr. changed the battery and looked at my bracelet. We talked and I told him how we had come into his store a few times before and what beautiful jewelry he has and how nice of his son to help us. About 20 minutes later Dwight Jr. came in his nice, clean, shirt covered with sweat and his hands full of grease and dirt. I thanked him and gave him the biggest hug in the world. He refused to accept any money for his good deed. When I attempted to pay Dwight Sr. for the battery and bracelet repair ( I was hooking it wrong, that is why is fell off my wrist) he showed me the right way to hook the safety clasp, Dwight said, "You have had a pretty bad day so far today, the battery is no charge." Gold Designs will have a customer for life in me and I will tell my family, friends and everyone that I know, not only do they have beautiful jewelry, are experts in their field, but are truly amazing human beings.

But the older stuff is still in play with a handheld video game is the '80s ilk - maybe a musical instrument to fiddle upon for hours before a single clean note breaks the din of distorted rackets. And as I'm now into the whole he health kick thing - eating organic - supplements - resistance bands and a farm job, I figure - at my age - it's one last shit at the gold of fitness before I crash land back to my couch with cheeseburgers and beer. So I bought another bicycle, it's almost as if I need to buy one in a different state and attach it to my vehicle and drive around with it and ride it twice then store it then repeat. But this sweet little honey of a dualie grabbed me immediately upon first sight and my man Dillan was feeding me as much information as was available to be had - previous owner by a real deal trail rider, my man modified away, stripping much of the identity away which I thought was quite cool.
