Re: How much do 'Traveling' Gold Buyers pay for coins.
It is a business that has been around a long time. When I was a kid, there was a guy who would go from house to house asking for 'old gold' items (always dressed below average, but not shabby)... as if the gold lost value when aged. He would pay for old rings, coins, jewelry...whatever gold items he could buy for very… -

<< <i>boo boo and her family are entertaining. Entertainment is what I look for when I flip the channels. I consider them highly successful at entertaining others.

Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
Both sides getting love, no doubt about it. This might sound crazy, but I think the first quarter of the first game, will say a lot as to how this series goes. If the Spurs can stop an early onslaught of threes from the Knicks, then I think they have an excellent chance to become champs. But if the Knicks prevail in that… -

Re: WI Extra Leaf 25c How they were made - VIDEO
<< <i> I think Occam's Razor is silent on this one. I might lean toward your scenario if it weren't for the fact that the "high leaf" is growing out of a cheese wheel.

People… -

No, just because the lame stream media won't cover the real news does not mean this country is not watching. I have used the analogy of the December 7th attack on Pearl Harbor; when news of the successful attack reached his head quarters Yamamoto's junior officers cheered loudly. After the commotion died down Yamamoto said…
