Every manufacturer has a top of the line premium ball that is priced right about where ProVs are. Nike Platinum, Bridgestone B330, Calloway HX Tour etc

1. Platinum or whiteish blonde color?

You will need a packet of bleach powder(sold in 1oz packets) And sold in the hair dye section of your box brand retailer. (It's best to pick up one that specifically states "blue" or "violet" because it helps reduce the yellowing of the hair lift) Your favorite shampoo Mixing utensil Metal free mixing bowl Latex gloves, shower cap(Or a plastic bag works as well) and an old shirt&towel. Basically with 1oz of the bleach powder, mix it in well with 2oz of shampoo. Then place into your hair and after you are done place in a shower cap. Leave it on for 15-25 minutes but no longer than 30 minutes. If you desire more lifting you can add the 1oz packet with 2oz of shampoo and 1oz of 10-20 volume developer.

2. If you were to get an engagement ring, would you get white gold or platinum?

Okay Sweetie, I am a 54 year young woman with a fine jewelry collection of many different pieces so it's from the experience of ownership that I speak from. I prefer white metals as they look better on me....and I love all white metals. Platinum has a faint gray-white look to it...it's expensive, yes but worth it for wear and looks...like any fine metal it will over time scratch but unless the scratches are deep they get a lovely satiny patina over time however, if you like super shiney then there's upkeep on that so be prepared to have it professionally buffed, cleaned & polished. White gold is yellow gold that has been whitend by the addition of either nickle or palladium...sometimes platinum but only a very experienced goldsmith is the one able to do that...alloy means its a pure mix of metals thru and thru, not covered over or plated. Now white gold with palladium tends to have a slight yellowish cast-hence the use of rhodium. Nickle alloy white gold has a feint gray-white cast to it, it's harder than the palladium alloy white gold thus more difficult to work with. Another reason why rhodium plating is used-even the whitest, highest quality white gold is not as shiny bright white as sterling silver, which is the whitest and brightest of metals, so the rhodium plating adds the bright shine that white gold lacks. Now, if you can find a solid rhodium ring setting-go for it, But it's even more expensive than platinum because rhodium is not as readily available as platinum, which is why rings are plated with it and not often made with it.... Now I own pieces in both white gold, sterling silver and platinum and I love 'em all...if I had to choose tho, I would pick 14 k yellow gold only because 95% of all my good pieces are white metal, and I want my wedding/engagement rings to stand out from the crowd....which they do because my original bridal set is yellow gold....buy my fancy wedding band is a custom made platinum band with three rows of gem stones....my BD stone, peridot, as the middle row flanked on each side by a row of white topaz...and my hubby recently gave me for x-mas a 4 carat green amethyst (prasiolite) solitaire set in white gold to wear with it....can not really tell the dif between the platinum and the white gold, truely.... so which ever you pick is fine...and all precious metal must be cared for and will scratch over time...how shiny you keep it depends solely on how 'anal' you are...Good Luck!

3. Should I trash Copper or Silver with Mine?

The decision boils down to a few things, at least for me...If I have a lot of copper, I mine the copper into silver. If I have a lot of silver, I mine the silver into gold.If I have a remodel, and am near the top of the VP race, having the gold to remodel into a province trumps having more silver.Another consideration is whether or not there's platinum in play. If platinum is available, moving the silver to gold is more valuable in that it gives me gold to mine into platinum.
