How did you manage that? I tried for YEARS and the only takers I encountered is if I GAVE them away.  Literally, I couldn't sell them well below their value. 

I just let them go rather than give them away.

Congrats!  It feels like making that last car payment when you no longer have that annual bill show up right around tax day.

Yeah I was going to let then go at my next renewal but thought I'd give a shot to selling, so I put them up on PSL source at a price that was lower than anything else in my section and someone bit a couple weeks later, turned out to be a ticket broker

Speaking of bad financial investments.

moissanite.... 

natural stone

shines brighter than diamond (higher refractory index)

diamonds are one of the biggest scams known to man. Labs are a better buy, moissanite is by far the best

Moissanite is fine for me. I love the fact that it has more fire. I'm willing to sacrifice that little bit of hardness for more fire. But, as you probably know, the preponderance of women, my wife included, ain't hearing that. They gotta have diamonds. In fact, my wife has a 10ct Moissanite right now, and she gets compliments on it all the time. It has never ever failed a diamond pen tester (regardless of the brand). I mean, it has NEVER ever tested as anything other than diamond. But, whenever she'd tell another woman that it was Moissanite, they'd be like, "Oh," and move on. I've seen it myself. Well, the picture is of a 10.81ct diamond certified and inscribed by the IGI. It is lab grown, but I still had to cough up several thousand for it.

Yes, I know, the diamond industry is a racket, but it ain't going anywhere. But, to be honest, Moissanite has become a racket now also, just to a lesser degree. But as long as we have women, we're gonna have to play the game.

I will say that though I know I've been snookered, I still feel as though I got a good deal inasmuch as these things go. It's better to go lab-grown, buy the stone and semi-mount separately and have the stone set locally.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
