WE ARE BROKEN

Archive for November, 2009

Many people hang onto broken jewelry because they feel it should still hold its original value, but in reality it is worth no actual sentimental value since it can’t be worn. Thus the broken gold necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other jewelry items get pushed to the back of the jewelry box never to be heard from again. However, if you have pieces of jewelry that are made out of gold, even though they may not be functional to you, they are still worth their weight in gold.

The reason why is because the gold market is extremely high right now, and everything you own that is made of gold, rather you think of it as valuable or not, is actually worth cash if you know where to sell it. There are many places that will offer you cash for gold depending on how many karats the gold is, its actual weight, the purity, and the amount of gold contained in the item. Therefore, if you have broken jewelry made of gold, you can resale it to make upfront cash on it.

The gold market rises whenever there is a large demand for gold reserves, because gold defines the worth of a country. Therefore, when there is a shortage of publicly owned gold, the government will pay vendors to pay you in exchange for your gold items. Believe it or not, even broken gold items are included in this figure. Say for example you own your grandfather’s commemorative gold medals from work or other events, even if they are in half, you can get cash in exchange for the item.

This means that your bracelet or other piece of jewelry may have a broken clasp, but that the broken gold is still worth something valuable to you. After all, what is more valuable than trading in a piece you can no longer use for cash which you assuredly can find a use for. This way, you find a new way to make use out of a broken object. Even if the gold jewelry was a gift, you can think of it as the gift that keeps giving since surely the person who gave it to you would want you to get a positive final use out of it.

There is no reason to let your broken gold objects sit and get dustier if you can find a way to use them to make back some of your money. After all, you wouldn’t think twice about recycling, so think of selling your old gold for cash as a way of reusing the initial cash you put into your jewelry while it was still viable. Plus, you will get much more for your jewelry if you sell it straight to a vendor of cash for gold because they are not trying to make a profit off of you, simply trying to accumulate more gold.

A pawn shop will try to make a profit off of your item, broken or not, meaning you will get less back as profits. So in conclusion, you will want to make sure you visit cash for gold with any old pieces of broken jewelry.

One of the most common problems with a laptop can be the screen, whether it be broken and cracked, it won´t power on, or it just won´t display correctly due to the LCD being damaged – any one of these can be an expensive repair, and depending on the original state of the computer and the laptop screen it doesn´t mean that your problems will disappear, there is every chance of them returning, I have found this the case with the LCD, and the not powering up troubles due to the wiring.

So how to overcome this problem with the laptop screen can be a troublesome issue, paying for a permanent repair is one thing, but to pay and worry of a reoccurrence is something that none of us should have to tolerate.

When funds are low and debts are high and the news blurts out such images of…the failing economy, uncertainty, divorce, brokenness, depression, anxiety… This is the sign of the times. People from all walks of life are searching for something and hoping to find some sense of commonality.  From every social level people are broken in one way or another. In times like this it just may be the Universe’s way of bringing humanity back together. So what better time than Valentine’s Day? Despite the circumstances whirling around us like a tornado we stand there in the midst of it all asking the question…where do I find a place of peace? Because when we get down to the basics, we aren’t that much different at all, are we? Let’s get to the heart…since we do await this holiday that Cupid designed for all of us hopeless romantics. But this year, it may be a bit different. I believe this year Valentine’s Day just could be the one day, one hour or one minute where we get back to the way we were created…to love. Here are the 10 things you can do to pull away from the chaos and celebrate…yourself, each other, spirituality and so many other beautiful things we don’t even see each day because we are so distracted away from the true beauty of life.

Music-what would this world be without music? Today, take the time to feed your soul with your favorite melody. Listen to your favorite CD or, if you’re the creative type look at the moon and write a song. Food- can be so comforting in a time of discomfort. Indulge in your favorite dish. Learn a new recipe for your lover or your loved ones…play with it, enjoy and don’t forget to savor the aroma. Nature… wherever you may be in this world, the universe has an abundance of natural beauty at your fingertips…if you live by beach bury your feet in the sand and gaze at the Sun as it sets along the horizon ,stand on a mountain peak and look to the stars and appreciate all ofGod’s gifts. Fitness… when we truly love ourselves, we love and appreciate our body…today treat your body right. Go for a long walk …take a yoga class or just breathe deeply and let the breath of life invigorate your body and soul. Creativity… every one of us has been given some sort of creativity…even if you aren’t the artsy type, dig deeper. Create something for someone or yourself. Find your passion and let it blossom. Love-true love is what we all are after…but even if you have no significant other on this special day, experience the love for yourself. Remember there is no one on this earth created just like you…so today celebrate you. Sensuality… is one of the key components to a beautiful Valentine\’s Day so if you have a lover, caress him and massage him or take a bubble bath together, and if not, put your best dress on and take a walk in a field full of wild flowers. Relaxation-is essential in keeping your mind, body, and spirit balanced…so, whatever it is that relaxes you, go for it. Spirituality -always love and appreciate the Maker of Heaven and Earth…sing praise, pray, and listen… for that quiet voice from your higher power. Let your soul soar. Gratitude -is the first step to a blessed and bountiful life. So today…really be thankful for the fact that you are alive and appreciate all the beauty around you and believe me there is an abundance of it…you just have to stop for a moment and look for it.
