Stay Away From Silver,buy Gold

...Cuervo,that is...the clear tequila marketed as 'silver',versus cuervo gold...now i like gold,strictly medicinal purposes you understand...stressed out,it's two shots,one swallow,then a minute later the second,no chaser...headache,it's two now,small chaser,one more shot in two minutes...thats'bout it...don't really touch it for entertainment you see,it does help that the Mrs like her golden margaritas and golden sunrises...i don't like it mixed with other stuff,tequila's meant fer shooters(.02)...anyway,went to town,liquor store out of gold...bought the silver(?)...don't like it,won't buy it...much...(more .02)

...prices way up in the stores today,groceries that is,liquor came down a bit...go figure

...needless to say,costs i see are up tons...maybe i should start selling my sugar?afterall,the price i paid for a 10 lb bag a year ago have doubled...five pounds of the pigs sugar a year ago,1.78...now it's 2.78...i say this cuz adjustments are necessary,as seasonal costs this year are killin'me,it's been cold...Cold,not just cold but Cold...my hundred year old mississippi house aint made for it,wind is the downfall,a bit drafty it is when it's windy out...i've done alot of weatherizing too...1oo times better than it was when we got it...anyway the gas,light,and water bill is painful,can't wait fer warm weather...lookin' at my dwindling supply of stores,time to take stock,think restock,and try to make it to spring...

...looks like more beans,than bullets and band-aids are gettin'bought this month,and next...i mean,how much is 120 pounds of sugar?...that's how deep i'm into my stores(from a high of about180,i have twelve 10lb'ers left)...thats not all,i'm into the flour and cornmeal too,plus i only have ten cans of coffee in there,i'm literally 'in to' my stores...again...beginning to feel like ol'MotherHubbard...anything less than 'twelve of anything' in the pantry is a very bad thing,time to gather the coupons and plan a grocery trip

...but not now,it's a stressed out headache that i fight at the moment,by my math that's about five shots,give or take,properly spaced out a couple minutes of course...

...GoodLuck,GodBless...

Ken,

Stay tight. I won't tell you "Stay frosty" because I hear you already are. lol.

Spring will be coming soon. God help all those people who live near rivers and large tributaries come this spring.

Hopefully, that isn't you or any of the other members of our prepper family.

LOL, Ken- I put a Crown on my head... and they've made a 'new' version calling it "Crown Royal Dark"... kind of a Scotch flavor but smooth as oil on water.
Have to remember the medicine cabinet, for sure. ;)

...mornin'Catman,good one...lol
...yep,tight as a drum,head's on a swivel,talked about the spring melt this week with some friends,we foresee floods also...i'm on some high ground,with raised foundation,he's not...it would take a biblical event to water me down

...mornin'China,too bad i misunderstood when they said invest in gold...no one told me they were talkin'bout the metal???
...anyway Brother,give'em hell in the north country(it might warm it up some)

...hey Shy,good mornin',those folks need us in their marketing departments huh?...amazing the level of clarity,one can achieve with just a couple sips...trick is in the moderation...lol

Misleading Title.

I guess it'll garner you more traffic though.Just think the supplies you could buy if you put down "the hootch"(that is what they call it in the hills,right?)
Think 'real' gold.Take that money,and buy real precious metals.When "the stuff hits the fan" as you say,it'll be the only thing to buy anything with.

Ken said...

...wow
...o.k anon,here goes...perfectly applicable title if ya ask me.
..."hootch" "hills" really???
...you realize 'gold' is used analogously,in "the golden rule"??? gold is a rock,you throw gold at me,pound fer pound,of the bricks i throw at you,and you will see the "value" of the brick...afterall it's a 'rock' too,arguments are semantics.
...i invest heavily in "precious" metals,just in a different category,therefore it's moot...you keep doin'what yer doin'!!! i'll keep doin'what i'm doin'...don't worry,you might make it,doubtful,but you might...
...pick a side of the fence,and jump to a team,and oh yeah,put a 'handle' on it ya puss...

HermitJim said...

I'm thinking that with all the prices going up even more, time to get downright serious on stocking up!

I'll find the room somewhere!

Ken said...

...mornin'Jim,i guess if ya bought stuff every few days ya might not realize the increases,but no real shopping since before Christmas here,and the increases are dramatic...finding room is tuff,my 'pantry' was a closet,plus we use some shelves in the laundry room,and milk crates in garage...hell,if ya hafta,stack it in the corner...anyway,thanx fer visitin' i'll see ya soon

Aggie said...

I just restocked some supplies, big difference in price. At least the weather is warming up though! I'll keep the gold in mind lol.

Ken said...

When I was a much younger man, I drank tequila. I made me a much larger man after half of a fifth. I went from 5'4", 132 lbs to 6'4' 280 lbs, with the attitude to match! So now I stay away from the drunken worm and if I want something to warm me from the inside out, I drink hot chocolate or coffee. Hard stuff and me are not good friends!

Those who invest in gold buy it for those who invest in lead!

Ken said...

...lol Scout,for me it was the beer that gave me hulk like powers(so i thought...lol)
...a good barley pop buzz,and we would go lookin'fer trouble...alas,times have changed,fights have changed,we use'ta beat each other until one conceded(typical boy stuff)then shake hands and drink a beer(?)...nowadays,ya just get dead...
