Excuse me if I sound silly or old fashioned but I don't like to waste things... I am all in favor of getting rid of everything related to the affair. But to throw gold in the toilet - no I wouldn't. I would take the item to a gold smith, let them melt it down, cash in the $ and give it to charity. I am not a texan as you might guess  I agree with this one........it reminds me of the that movie "Titanic", where the batty old lady throws the "priceless" necklace in the ocean then dies....I was like WTF??? Sorry, but come on....did the doo-doo head not know how much that was worth and how rich she could make her granddaughter?? Or make happy the poor bloke who spent his whole life looking for that necklace???? sheeshh..... I say melt it down, sell it and give the money to charity....or better yet, if the OM was married, send the money to the BW and let HER give it to her favorite charity..... anyway, as a plumbers daughter, don't clog your plumbing with things that DON'T belong there....even if it doesn't "resemble" crap....  not2fun

Speaking of Texas, yesterday when I needed something to hold the childrens' hair in place for a re-shoot of their Pilgrim's Progress play, I turned to.......
AQUA NET!!!

Well for those of you that have been kind enough to share your thoughts on this thread, I thought I'd let you know the epilog. The other night we sat down to purge this monster from our world. I felt so strong about having to go through this I was sick for 3 days. There was an opportunity in the conversation when I asked if she had any gifts from him. Jewerly etc. She spoke right up without hesitation and said "I have a painted coconut and a poem. I asked if she would get rid of them. She said yes, I said go get them. While she was retrieving them I fired up the grill, all 5 burners to high. I asked her to put the coconut on to "cook". She did. A bit later she was concerned that there might be some sort of explosion from this and also said that she doubted it would burn completely. My grill has a temp gage on the hood, it was so hot that it left 500 in the dust. When I got up the next morning, the first thing I did was check the grill. I was hoping to see something the size of a raisen. It wasn't much bigger and was nothing but ash. The HUGH smile on my face that was missing for soooooooooo long............PRICELESS
