Re: Nothing But the Best

We have a family owned Vintage Jewelry Store with Rare Coins & Bullion (Gold, Silver, Platinum investments)
I will just go grab a couple of Gold one ounce American Eagles and stick them where the sun don't shine- That should do the trick
sorry- couldn't resist
Think I will send him this one.... and change where I was gonna put them

Re: Nothing But the Best
Hum - I think a lot of folks around here have invested in some platinum more expensive (and perhaps valuable) than the metal itself! If you have some platinum, maybe I can teach you how to make your own Oxaliplatin?

Re: Nothing But the Best
Bring it on GrouseMan.....I will share with my friends! 
I dare say the COST of OUR OXI will beat the Pharmacies FDA issued stuff!!!!
I am still holding off sending that one to hubby with my suggestion
He usually sends me some snake oil crap that gets sent to him (as a private joke) about "we have the CURE to CANCER, the GOVT & FDA doesn't' want YOU to know about"
So I will save this as a response. We have to find something to keep our spirits UP
cheers!

If you want to keep your spirits up, you can send me some of that platinum, and I can invest in some good Texas property for a garden
We could grow wild onions
