Turned a profit after melting the rest.  $90 between the two sales, and got 
back $135 in gold etc.  I'm probably going to eat the money on the brocades 
I bought, but one of these centuries they may make a heckuva quilt.

and

-> So is unsmoked, especially if you have the same type in smoked &

Then again any old cheese beats no cheese, except process cheese "food" of 
course.  Or string cheese.

In the meantime, off of your feet dude, at least when it starts to hurt.

Could be nothing, could be something.  Our clothes closet setup was today.  
I checked for anything good and ended up with some scrap fleece.  Found a 
really nice vintage cocktail dress, but it was a green that looks good on 
maybe 10% of the population if that.  Seriously nice lace, but a small size 
and no label.  I hope someone finds it and wears it out.

It did and I did.  I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a second batch if needed.  
It sounds like they did a number on Steve's tie stuff. Why anyone would
walk 
off with costume tie bars I have no idea.
