Good Day!!

Went to the Turkey dinner church raffle this afternoon... won a $450.00 gold cross with diamonds!!!! (put 10.00 in raffle)....

Yipee!! Gotta pawn it for truck parts... Or maybe let the wife buy it from me????


(Yeah right... it has already been tried on and since it is "simply wonderful"... I lost custody rather quickly)

Flip congrats, but you have a wife and it has diamonds, you will never be able to pawn it. Diamonds are a girls bestfriend. HAHAHA. Good job Flip.

Congrats dude! That is awesome, too bad you couldn't have kept it a secret from the wife till the baby was born, and give it as a baby gift to your wife.

You would think so, but I'm behind on truck parts because the wife has bought jewelry and I didn't get truck stuff. LOL

She is only supposed to buy the stuff if I get a new project. I haven't had one in a couple of years now, but there is still new baubles.

She bought some pearls at a rummage sale for a few bucks about 10 years ago that turned out to be worth $1200. I said, let's sell them, but she took them in and had them restrung to give to my daughters. I cost me about $80-$100 to have them restrung.

Welcome to the real world Flip.

You should have said something. I have some Dental Floss. I would have done it for half that price.
