Jim Whittaker is looking more and more like Bob Newhart. ${#emotions_dlg.biggrin}$

On another note, I always wonder how well this stuff sells, or if they just keep bringing it back to the few devotees each "American type" holiday.

I think it must do well enough for shows on the American holidays ... otherwise, QVC would drop it, like they've dropped everyone else.

Many people like it. I have never bought it for myself but have several pieces I have received as gifts. I don't wear it often but when I do I ALWAYS get compliments.

I missed most of the show, but that orange poppy topaz was an eye-catcher. I thought it was fire opal. I've never heard of it, but apparently it's natural? I assumed it was one of those color-coated topazes.

I have a couple of pieces of BHG silver.

This bracelet:

A silver pair of demi-hoops.

I like the new silvertone watch.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

I'm surprised they are even on anymore, no prime time shows. This used to be such a huge deal 20 years ago, does he still wear the special sox? I don't watch, since I have no intention of buying new gold unless I get it at auction.

Black Hills Gold gets limited air time on Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving. It's only about 4-hours total on air for these occasions as opposed to the monthly/every other month visits of long ago.

They must sell enough to satisfy management during these limited appearances to warrant continuing the shows. Granted, Jim Whitaker is a nice pleasant guest who is easy on my ears and knows his products, but nice guy isn't enough by itself for QVC to continue with any vendor.

I think the Black Hills trademark leaf design is lovely. I own several pieces and they have held up very well over the years. I rarely wear a watch, but often when I do I wear my Black Hills one just because it looks so much like a simple pretty bracelet.
