Trading in for CASH

Last Saturday I gathered up my old gold bracelets that have been laying in the bottom drawer of my jewelry box. Six bracelets I had, 4 of which were broken and cost more to repair then they were worth. The other two were worn so thin I was afraid to wear them. Over the years I have lost a few gold bracelets when they broke and fell off and I had no idea where they went. So a few years ago I discovered a retailer in the Hartville Flea Market where I could buy gold plated bracelets that looked real and if I lost one I wasn't out a lot of money. So I have been wearing my faux gold for many years now. This retailer will even replace the jewelry if it starts to tarnish or show signs of wear absolutely free. Now how could anyone pass up that bargain? So, with my old gold in hand I went to Hartville Coins and Jewelry to see what I could get for my little treasure bundle. I went into shock when they offered me almost $600.00 for my old broken bracelets. We also had a couple of pieces of jewelry that had gems on them but those we were not offered very much for so we kept them. The word is GOLD gang and if you have any old moldy jewelry laying around now is the time to clean out your jewelry box.

Trivia Question for the day: Does anyone know what movie this song comes from? :)

Gold Fever lyrics

I would give the world to see How I used to be When I had no axe to grind Except for chopping wood. Day was day, and night was night Wrong, was never right Didn't matter where I went As much as where I stood. I had dreams, average size There were stars in the skies Not my eyes Then I got...Gold fever No romp 'n rollin' girl And fellow stuck' Cause your the, gold fever Nothin' can help you But the yellow stuff What! Can stop that itchin'? Ain't! Around the kitchen Gold, gold, hooked am I Susannah, go ahead and cry. Once we all did honest work Farmer, lawyer, clerk Married men, and single men And some who ain't so sure Now I look at them and see Duplicates of me Cured of what we suffered from And sufferin' from the cure Who can say, why we came? Where's the hope, where's the flame? We're the same When you've got Gold fever No romp 'n rollin' girl And fellow stuck' Cause your the gold fever Nothin' can help you But the golden stuff What! Can stop that itchin'? Ain't! Around the kitchen Gold, gold, hooked am I Susannah, go ahead and cry Gold fever Gold fever Gold fever Gold fever Gold fever Deal!

And the winner and only competitor is, Denise!! You should have asked for some of the gold BEFORE I sold it off. ;) Course the only thing you can win here is the knowledge you're the only one reading my blog that is old enough to remember that movie. Did anyone else know that Clint Eastwood could sing? ;)
