Hahaha! I remember her! I always wondered why she was willing to give out winning Lotto numbers for the price of a toll call. Wonder if she's based out of Nigerial? grin

The value of gold is just a shared illusion. Unlike a bushel of wheat, you can't eat it. Unlike a rifle you can't hunt with it. You can't power your tractor with it. If SHTF I'd rather have a basement full of freeze dried food, stabilized fuel and ammo than gold bars.
