    I mean come on, is everyone dripping in disposable entertainment/dining

    Value is not a pejorative.

    One of those meat pies you lot like is always a good thing.

    All nice, but a 6"-high fresh hamburger tops all. With meat, bacon,
    lettuce, onion, beetroot, sauce, garlic, tomato, pepper,
    capsicum,lottsa salt, with buns properly toasted, and beer to wash it
    down.

    After work long ago at 1am we would get this at "Hamburger Max" a
    sleazy joint with Max making the burgers from a huge pile of ground
    beef. Lottsa low life in the joint, hazy with cigarette smoke. Then
    repair to the car, with a CB radio and proceed to insult all truck
    drivers within range. Ahhh them were the nights!

    Nope.


    everything on the home shopping channels tends to be silver/gold overlay, rather than decent quality gold.

    I don't think I've seen anything gold unless really expensive in a very
    long time.

    Some of the companies have closed their doors or added non-jewelry items to inventory that they never sold before.

    They are always a good measure of how the economy is doing
