And my first piece of pawn, from a shop in Old Scottsdale. Nickel silver and turquoise on a wide black suede cuff (replaced), unsigned, and you can still see the placement lines centering the turquoise. Anyone have a clue as to age? When I bought it, I was told 1940s, but I've no idea.
For context, in 1982 I met my late husband in the lobby of a Times Square movie theater showing "Road Warrior" with Mel Gibson. The soundtrack was atonal, with lots of clanky mechanical sounds that fit the post-apocalyptic theme of the movie very well. Fast forward 10 years, we're finally getting married, and when I discuss my walk-down-the-aisle music with the organist, all I tell him is that I don't want "Here Comes the Bride", and other than that I'll leave it up to him. He says no worries, he's done tons of weddings, and is fine with the plan.
Day of the wedding he doesn't show when he's supposed to. My galpals and I are in the wings, my groom and his guys are at the altar waiting, and by now the wedding is 15 minutes late in starting. The priest suggests a wedding with no music. I say no. Five minutes later the organist rushes in - he was out shopping and forgot - and (I'm told, since I wasn't there), he flung some sheet music on the stand and started to play whatever landed. An usher came and got us and we walked towards the nave, and I heard some music playing that I didn't recognize, but fine, whatever. My gals walked down the aisle to it, then I appeared and suddenly the music switched to some bizarre John Cage-type of "melody"; nothing to be done but traverse the aisle to my waiting man and tie the knot.
After the service the organist yelled at me for having the audacity to wed on a Saturday night and then slammed out of the church, so I couldn't ask him what he'd been playing, but it wasn't until during the reception, when one of my guests came up to me and congratulated me for having the imagination to get married to the music from Road Warrior, that I realized how hilarious the situation was. I never did find out what he was playing and never will, and regret that when I will depart this orb I will still be clueless. But it made for a great story!
Hello, fellow keto warriors, I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer. Recently a friend gave me a bag of Elevate protein flour, said she saw it on a Keto Twins video where they talked about how great it was, and thought I might like to try it. The bag says it's high protein, low carb, keto friendly, and is a 1:1 substitute for baking flour, but I've never once seen a reference to it, pro or con, on any Reddit keto sub. Have any of you tried it? If so, thoughts? Thanks in advance -
