Weekend loading, driving, unloading, setting up art tent and tables, jabbering with locals, jabbering with locals again, taking down tent etc, loading, driving back to Bamalama went well with maximum burliness and well-spaced drugs. Now I go to regular Doc visit, maybe she knows what this ping-pong ball growin on my elbow is.

Gold bug / silver bug / numismatic / metals thread

Same strip mall, second floor guy closed down. "New" (10 years?) store is on ground floor, it's the bullion shark's friend as he monitors local prices and prides himself on beating everybody both buying and selling. Agree on Clanton WB. I eat there then recommit my life to Jesus thanks to the bombardment of Christian Rock. -

The #1 hoarder rule is to store your gold and silver where you can see it from your bedroom. #2 hoarder rule is to build a castle out of National Geographics. -
Don't forget the basics, boys. Yesterday a break in routine interrupted my breakfast. By afternoon I was a raving stroke victim. Wife got a sammich and a 10mg Hydrocortisone in me, 30 minutes later, healed.

I had a student (basic English composition, so we could talk about anything) who admitted he'd thrown away a gold bracelet because it was broken. He'd already caught hell from his dad (Who throws away GOLD?) so we made it a learning experience-- showed em how karats worked, estimated weights compared to 5g nickels, taught a bunch of Juco kids what they'd get for it at the coin store in Pelham vs the pawn shop in Clanton. We estimated he'd made a $50 mistake (bracelet must have been spun air.) It was still a dumb mistake, but who hasn't made a dumb 50 dollar mistake? He was able to move on from it and I doubt he'll ever toss anything again. I knew a woman in DC with wealthy parents. Mom was crazy and would regularly dump trays of jewelry in the garbage. Dad, in theory, would fish them out and pass them on the Daughter, who may have gotten top dollar for them but I kinda doubt it. She was into leaving family jewelry buried in the dirt to "cleanse" it. If you are a landlord with witchy tenants, maybe get a metal detector. Back to the Juco, I had another student who would carry around collectible coins in this wince-inducing home-made copper chain. He monitored Kitco every day, worked his ass off in the hot sun at a plant nursery. I hope he held onto his loot until now. -

Nahgonnalie, kinda cool having a pile of shiny coins double in value. Be great if/when I sell it all to get $ for something else. At the same time, sorta kills the fun of collecting it at the old price. -
I wasn't aware that I was being videotaped! But everybody's had 8-pint vision one time or another.

Hope I don't jinx it, but a guy reached out to me that I did more than 200 drawings for in the 90s. Most fun I ever had working on commission. He said they need more, and implied they had more money now. I mean hell I made a decent rate on the old pay scale, but if you felt bad about that, I mean, I don't want you to feel bad.

I didn't know we wuz usin' code hieroglyphs... Basically all my arm woes bored the Oncology Nurse and she told me to hike my weak ass over to some regular doctor. So my wife (PhD Chemistry) hit the Googles and it says the main cure is rest. So I guess when I look at porn I'll become a Leftist.

wut. Oncology nurse was supremely uninterested in my elbow booboo. Something about "wrap it up until the swelling goes down." Compared to some of the truly suffering people I see going in and out of there, I kinda came across like Ben Stiller giving a little cough and thinking he had black lung. Nurse said "Check with your regular doc, maybe your shoulder hurts because of the rotator cuff." Science Wife found a diagnostic checklist for shoulder pain and thinks my Tater cuff is fine, but my biceps tendon is injured. Really only hurts when I'm pushing up the center pole of a tent, or flangin a banana peel out the passenger window. So maybe I need to imitate a sorority girl, and ask some nice boy to do all the heavy work, and drop the banana peel somewhere for the maid to pick up.

A few years back I sat on the front stoop drankin wine, and recording the best price per year of gold and silver since 1973 when Nixon pulled out the chock blocks. I also estimated average price per year. Then I had some more wine and adjusted numbers for inflation. Then I looked at all the numbers. What I saw was that if you bought gold at the average price every year, and sold it at average a year later, you'd hardly make any money. But if you waited 5 years to sell, you'd almost always get a worthwhile profit. (Obviously in RL if you could hold on and avoid a loss you would, but I didn't give my little theoretical guy the option, he had to sell 5-year-old stuff every year. Still did ok overall.) In fact, IIRC, even having the guy buy at the highest price each year, and waiting to sell 5 years later at the average, he turned some profit. I didn't try this with 100 different stocks, so maybe they'd do better, or not. I can only drink so much wine. I have not figured up how the recent crazy run-ups add in, obviously they're good for those who bought in the past. If I eat me a sandwich and go down to the gold shop to get an ounce today, no idea if it'll be worth more in 5 years. -
Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
RDCanecutter replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
Give copies of the keys to people you know who need shelter. They pay a "convenience fee" to "work" as cleaners, security, whatever inside the buildings for a set period of time each day. Maybe while sleeping. Their performance is assumed to be satisfactory, no reason to follow up and inspect. -
2nd Atlanta Show, mixed success. In a busy park but most people seemed surprised there was an art show there. Made some sales anyway, even had one pair of repeat customers. On home turf (Birmingham) I have lots of repeats. If I can get close to the same in Atlanta, that would be more. Coolest part was having a beverage and watching some football with @baboso The second day I wore a dirty shirt because my clean one mentioned the state of Alabama. I didn't need any jug-eared Dawgs fans coming over my table like Santa Anna's troops at the Alamo. Yeah it woulda been funny, but I was there to get their money.

So less than a month later, my $100 mini-stack of silver is worth about $13 more. I am such a dummy I didn't invest 100 million. -
