The topic: Well, that was fun
----------------------------------------------

We found out the serving dish that Brian's aunt and uncle gave us for our wedding was only silver plating (this guy has money coming out of his butt). Last night I pulled it out of its hidey spot and started cleaning it, gave up. I told Brian "I'm not spending all of that time cleaning the silver for $25.00". So, he cleaned it up. And we find out it's not worth anything as far as silver content. We laughed. Anyway, with all the gold, silver and gems, we walked out of there with $3,300. I was actually happy with that, I was figuring around $2,500. So, I've got the bank deposit ready and the catfund will be getting an infusion within the next hour. Lorelei will be getting a dental next week.

I'm finally ready to do something with my mom's jewelry. Like sell it. We have an appointment at ten this morning at a jewelry place in San Diego. All proceeds will go into the catfund. I do not want being caught short like we were with Spot earlier this year. Here's some of the stuff we're taking.
Dad's wedding band
One of mom's wedding bands I've also got some stuff of mine to get rid of, like a gold panther link bracelet and matching earrings. I won't wear any of it, the only place I go is to CostCo and Walmart. Sometimes Disneyland. No place that fancy schmancy bling is appropriate. Besides, I'm more into fun type of jewelry, the crap that takes batteries and blinks or sparkles. And nothing that I'll get really upset if it gets lost or stolen. I'd much rather have a cushion for feline emergencies. (And no, the money isn't going to property taxes or a house payment, just in case you're wondering. It's going into the bank account we've got set up just for the cats. And, yes, we do have a bank account for the cats, so put that in your pipe and smoke it. *lol*)
