Memento Mori

in #steemsilvergold6 years ago (edited)

Ok Steemit, it is almost midnight where I live and dammit I AM gonna post today!

I have really fallen off the wagon lately. What can I say? Lazy... busy... nothing to say... tired... Probably all four.


So what has been happening?

Today work was kind of killing me. What I do is not complex nor is it brain surgery. However, some days the details are such that you really have to concentrate to keep everything moving along. Today was some kind of combo of juggling and piecing together a puzzle. So no steeming from #thecube for me.

At about 5:00 my office emptied out for the day. Instead of going home like the rest of the crew, I put up Halloween decorations. Somehow I have hosted the office Halloween Party for the past five years. It is fun, but time consuming. We have a big potluck. I go mad with decorations. There are costumes and prizes for various things like best themed food. Tomorrow night there will be more decorating.

Silver

After work I was excited to see a package had arrived for me from APMEX. It contained SEVEN pieces of silver (though only three were for me). The other four are for a buddy. One of these was a Memento Mori 2oz silver round.

How ridiculously hot is this round? Like I said, it is 2oz and 6mm thick with a reeded edge. The round was produced by Intaglio Mint.

Wanna see some close ups?

Look at the skull above the skull!

That skeleton’s weapon looks fierce!

Look at that phat reeded edge!


After the silver porn, it was time to start baking cake and making soup from scratch. At 9pm.... 😐

What?!!

I have to bring something edible to my office potluck. My husband’s work is also having a Halloween potluck. So, tonight was food prep night.

Red velvet cake that will become a brain cake and butternut squash soup.

And now it is almost 12:30. Waaaaaaaay past my bedtime. I need to sleep so I can wake up again in 5 hours.... 😑

Sweet dreams friends!

That's a fierce piece there! Very nice!

Thanks @khamen! It’s no cute little koala or Disney coin that’s for sure! 😊

Now that's a sweet piece 😍

With integrated life lessons/reminders too !

I just got a message this morning my salary has arrived, so once I get back to Bordeaux I'll be able to plan out November's silver buy 😆

Best new round i’ve seen!

That’s Hawt!

I like the ledgends too:

Remember Death

&

Seize the Day

🤟🤩

Yeah, I like the legends a lot too. This little sweetie is much cooler than I expected. Good times. ☺️

Awesome piece Dfinney

Thanks @silverd510! When I ordered it I had no clue how chunky it was gonna be. I love a chunky bit o silver.

Nice piece @dfinney! Love it. Don't work too hard, take a lesson from my cat and take naps as often as possible.

OMG. Cat.... yes. I need.... a....😑🤤...😐.... nap😑😑 😴 💤

I put the Latin into Google translate and apparently it means; YOLO.
Now I need to look up YOLO.

😄😄😄
You only live once @mattclarke.

Despite the skulls the round is very life affirming! ☺️

2 ounce rounds are my favorite, and 2 skulls for the price of one! That is an awesome round.
What a nice buddy you have that let's you order silver for them. Sounds like a real winner.

Hey buddy, thanks for stopping by. 😐
😁

It’s not just TWO SKULLS.... There are FIVE on this round! Four on the big skull side and one on the other. I just spotted the extra ones this morning. ☺️ 💀 ☠️💀☠️💀

Sold! Now, if I just had a bro-ham that knew where to get one of these....

🤔...... 😯 💡 🙋🏻‍♀️

Coin is stunning !

Thank you @steemed-open. Who ever came up with this design was quite the artist!

Lovely Silver rounds, I'm still looking for a Canadian Retailer to carry these in stock, but the window is closing so I may have to resort to eBay. I'm ready with My Lolita Ninja Outfit. Yes, the Ninjato sword is real.

In Canada are you able to order from APMEX, JM Bullion etc? It is the cost plus shipping prohibitive?

Yes it boils down to Shipping expense and I would have to buy in volume to make it cost effective. My Limited income can only afford small orders at a time. I have a friend living a few Kms away from me that we often combine our orders but he's rather a Vanilla styled Stacker to meet free shipping requirements from Canadian retailers.

Love that Memento Mori round! Congrats getting them!
A brain cake... don't forget to show us the finished product, my friend! Take care.

The brain cake is in my post this morning. It probably tastes meh but it looks creepy! 😂😄🤣
