Garage sales I'm always amazed at the people we encounter at our garage sales. Two Saturday's ago, my neighbor and friend had a garage sale.

With a total weight of about five ounces, that places the melt value around $300. But the athletes probably realize that there are faster and...
- Braclets - Old and New Bracelet popularity dates back to the Roman times and continues today. Roman bracelets shared many of the design patterns of necklaces and earrings from that era.

Now my fast food is mostly limited to a chicken sandwich at Chick-Fil-A, so I'll pick on them for a moment. When I get it to go, they...
- Incredible Presentation by Dean Hunt...

Gold has been used since earliest human history as a form of currency. Gold's recognition as a...- Personal Finance Review - Egg on My Face Edition Sometimes there's just not enough wood in the world to knock on. I found this out the hard way earlier this week. It took less than a week for my post about the 2001 Patriots to come back and haunt me. For those living in closet, or not interested in...
