Should I leave my beautiful fiancée Megan (Mee-Gun, NOT May-Gun) for her poor text messaging skills?

I will be at an important business function in Seattle, and she will be at my family’s estate in New York. As she tries to give me a crucial message via text on my cell phone, I will often not be able to fully understand her point! My goodness, I graduated with a 4.0 and I feel very compelled NOT to dumb myself down for these silly text message shortcuts!

I’m sorry, I laugh out loud, and I do not “LOL”. My goodness.

Did you realize that many of our most esteemed authors only a few hundred years ago put their prose to paper under the threat of persecution? The Queen’s English was only to be used by the elite! Now that it has been brought with great sacrifice to the masses, it is being mauled! I am absolutely unable to forgive my beloved Megan for this egregious offense!

Would I be within my rights to request a temporary trial separation while she perhaps takes an advanced English course at the Local University? I do NOT wish to lose this valued treasure of a woman. By my conservative estimates, she is 35.5% to 39.2% better than most women I meet on a daily basis in the United States are. The number drops to about 13.5% when I travel to France, but my point remains, she is a special diva.

Value of 1903 Mining, Milling and Development Stock Certificate?

I bought a stock certificate for $17 from an estate sale; the owners died and their family was selling everything in the house.
The certificate is of El Fuerte Mining, Milling and Development Company bought in 1903 for 500 $1 shares. I know already that El Fuerte used to be part of Mexico before being sold to the U.S and later became part of Tucson, Arizona. I think in that region, El Fuerte was a silver mining town with gold prospects. Other than that, I cant find the company or who to ask about the stock or even if it still has value. Any suggestions?

Lost Movie Title between 1970-1984?

There’s flashbacks from about 1800s to present day about 1975-1984? w/ shootout between 2 men over gold at either a mansion or wealthy estate. The parents are killed in the shoot out & they still didn’t find the gold. There’s 1 remaining family member, a little girl. One of them tries to force the “truth” out of her at gunpoint. There’s a secret passage in her home (the mansion). He takes her there thinking there’s gold. She looses her footing & falls to her death but not before the bad guy has a change of heart & tries to help her but only catches her necklace. I think it’s a heart shaped pendant. The bad guy kind of feels bad, doesn’t know what to do, but ultimately leaves. Fast forward to the present to what I think is between 1970-1984? There’s a family camping out in the woods. I think it was a family of a mom, dad & 4 or 5 kids? They find a map to some alleged gold. Just for fun they decided to look for it. Again, there’s 2 bad guys w/ guns who overhear them & force them to do all the work & find the treasure at gun point. There’s a point in the movie where the family & the bad guys are in a cabin. The dad has a little notebook. The map has been lost. One of the bad guys forces the dad to rewrite the map at gunpoint. I remember a cowboy shotgun pointed at the dad while hesitantly & nervously tries to remember the map. In the end, they somehow figure out what happened to the little girl. They all find the secret passage way & the remains of the little girl. I want to say the necklace is down there w/ her. I want to say the dad’s daughter spots it & says something like “Look, there she is” yadayadayada…Does anybody out there know the year & the title of this movie? I remember seeing it at the same time as Savannah Smiles (1982) was out. That’s what makes me think of the years 1970-1984. Please help. I’ve been searching for about 16 years…
