whens it gonna end?

[Still in Limbo]

Quoting My Father and Quite a Few Older Folks: "If You watch Your Pennies, the Dollars will take Care of Themselves"! Even though that is a Very Good Comment, I have been trying to Deal as Much Local with the Smaller Merchants in My Area, hoping it Helps if even in a Small Way! There is Only a Few Left, I live in a Very Small Town, Flanked on all 4 Sides with a Walmart within 25 Minutes in any Direction!! I went Shopping with the Wife Yesterday, and We went to K-Mart, had to Stop at a Walmart, (Against My Better Judgment, but We could Only Find an Item We Needed There), and a Local Jeweler. I bought My Mother a Beautiful Sterling Silver Cross with a Nice Sterling Chain, and the Stones are Natural, they are Aquamarine in Color, but I can't Remember the Name of the Stone. If You are looking to Buy Jewelery this Year for Gifts, Silver is Down Price Wise, I got 30% Off on My Purchase. and the Shops are Buying Gold, so Maybe if You have Old Gold You don't Wear Anymore, You can Make a Few Bucks by Selling Some. Just a Thought, but I think if We All just Tighten Our Belts, (w/c Surely Taught Me how to do That:rolleyes We Can All get By!!!
