..Stiglitz Forcepts.Silver Points..?…….what are you some kind of closet dentist?…

..shaking my head here ……

respiring playwright

lol.  Is there something wrong with my computer, or have there been no responses?  An effort like that deserves acknowledgement!  Are you an aspiring playwright, or do you just have too much time on your hands this eve <g>.  Off  to bed…

you didnt understand, with all his postings on Goldtent, how he got any work done.  I have often wondered the same thing.  I have tried to imagine what it might be like for a patient to be in a dentist’s office when the dentist is a keen day-long participant in the marketplace, specifically the markets related to PMs.  One imaginary visit to such a dentist is sketched out below with a dialogue between Dr. D, the dentist, (lets call him D. for short)  and a patient who is,  let’s say, He’s Unexpecting and Innocent, so lets call him HUI for short.

D - Good morning.  How are things today?

HUI –    Good morning, Doc.  Just great.

D – That’s a very sore-looking thumb you have there.  What happened?

HUI – It’s a sliver infection.

D - That’s strange.  I never heard of a silver infection before.  In fact some people use silver as an antiseptic.

HUI – I said sliver, not silver.

D – Well, I hope it gets better soon.  Speaking of silver, did I ever tell you about silver as an investment?  And by the way, what are we to look at here today?

HUI – Nothing much, I just need you to give some extra spacing between these two teeth so I can floss there.

D – No sweat.  We’ll have you on your way in a few minutes.  Let’s get started here.  First, I just have to check my computer for a minute.

                D returns after quite a few minutes 

D –  Are you into investing?

HUI – No, except just a bit in Amalgamated Mutual Fund.

D.  Amalgamated, eh?    That reminds me of amalgam.  I suppose you heard that there is some controversy now about getting rid of old amalgam fillings, because some people are worried about their mercury content.  But in my opinion people shouldn’t knock mercury.  Did you know that mercury is used in the gold and silver mining industry because of the ease with which mercury will amalgamate with gold and silver?  So I wouldn’t be so critical of mercury.

HUI – Instead of all this mining stuff, could we just talk about my teeth?

D – Right. Now what was it we were going to look at this morning?   Just one minute, I heard there was an incoming IM or e-mail on my computer.  Be right back.

               D returns after a few minutes

D – First let me have a quick look at all of your teeth.  I see you’ve had a root canal done on one-seven.  We’ll keep an eye on that one because we don’t want you with a silver point obdurated tooth.  But if we have to do remedial action I’ve got this expensive silver-coated pair of Steiglitz forceps to help remove the silver points.  But not to worry for now, I think you silver points are OK for some time.  I told you that silver is good, but not forever.

D – I also see that we have two candidates here for a crown. Both four-seven and four-six are going to give you trouble unless we do something.

HUI – So what are the choices?  Two crowns versus yanking them out and putting in a bridge to replace four-seven and four-six?   Do you see a bridge?

D  - Did you say Seabridge?  Yeah, I like Seabridge.  Did you know that Seabridge increased its ownership of gold resources in the ground, on a per share basis, for each of the last six years?

HUI – No I didn’t know that.  Is more gold in the ground per share better than more gold bars in the vault per share?

D – I don’t know, but I sure like Seabridge.  Now where were we here?  You just reminded me, I just have to check something about Seabridge on my computer.

                 D returns after considerable delay, obviously agitated and muttering about   something being down again.   HUI looks confused

D - So if we don’t do a bridge we could do two crowns.  I have to warn you that there are some cheaper gold-content crowns that are only about 10 carat.  We use only the best here, which is JVRT gold with a grain size of 22 microns that allows precise casting.  Our JVRT is 78 % gold which is over 18 carat and it ensures superior biocompatibility.

HUI - 
Superior biocompatibility sounds good.

D – So that’s about it for today.

HUI – Did you fix the space between these two teeth so I can floss them?

D – Oh, thanks for reminding me, I just about forgot.

               D checks computer and returns to send HUI on his way.

D – So that’s it for now.

HUI – How do I pay, cheque or credit card?

D -  You have three ways to pay – by Gold Maple Leafs when we do your gold crowns or a bridge, by Engelhardt 10-ounce or 20-ounce silver bars when we do smaller jobs, or Johnson& Mathey silver bars for various sized jobs.

HUI – But I don’t have any gold or silver to pay you with.

D – That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.  You need to get some gold and silver.

HUI -  Thanks, Doc.  See you again sometime.

D – Great.  Anytime you need investment advice for gold and silver just book a time with me through my receptionist.  And remember we do teeth too.  Have a good day.  And take good care of that silver in your thumb.

Not my article, something another guy wrote.

Probably in Vegas. He strays from there to Seattle and back.

So, I’d put him Seattle/Vegas

Jeezzzeee, and I thought it was my computer. Turned on TaskManager, nope, no biggie CPU count there.

So I went to GE, and damned if it isn’t back in operation. Thought, did that Dirty Dr V throw some kinda’ HEX over the Tent in retaliation?

The “Glo-Bull W0rming” is one of my favorite subjects to ‘Bash.”
Just the other day, had one Mag take my input (finally) and publish it along with a bunch of other “Letters to the Editor.” Some ‘Strongly’ believe that Crap, and then there was me and a few other types giving them some FAX.

Later on, will try to dig out that paper, and post the link here.
[Since we have PLENTY of BANDWIDTH and STORAGE now]

That’s Great. Wish I knew how to get into that animated stuff.
