I didn't make myself clear.
What I meant by that was, rather than "No - strike that!" I think I would have just deleted it...........
Trying to be funny in print sometimes causes me to fall flat on my face.
I did not mean that the post was out of line or that I felt it should have been deleted, by me or anybody else.
Oh dang it, I'll just shut up, I seem to be making it worse!
:D :D :D :D :cool: :D :D :D :D

To get back to the subject of the thread:

Silver Threads Among The Gold

Most on this forum are probably too young to remember that song.
In factI'm almost to young to remember it!

Then there is:

Silver Threads and Golden Needles

Another old song but not nearly as old as the first one.

On Golden Pond.
Worth your weight in gold.
Edgar Allen Poe's "The Gold Bug", from whence we get our name (presumably).
There's gold in them there hills.
The streets are paved with (you-guessed-it).

gpond, good one on golden parachute or sometimes called
a golden handshake.

more include..

all that glitters is gold
golden reputation


It is interesting to me how gold is used to descibe esentially 4 things...

Wealth - as in "His business in a gold mine", "struck gold"

Victory or Accomplishment - as in "gold medal", gold label, gold ribbon.

Honesty - as in "heart of gold", golden reputation, pure as gold

Period of greatness or happiness - as in "golden age", golden years, "golden oldies".

Gold and what it represents is part of our being - even the sheeple have it in them through the language they use - we just need to do a better job of educating them.

Please add more if you'd like!
