Welcome to the board! Lou

Welcome! Lou

Pinned to the top of the forum we have a page of links for various marble related activities. I just went through it and found a lot of bad links. I deleted them and would like to add new ones. So, if you have a favorite marble site that would fit in, post the link in this thread and I'll add it to the list. Thanks. Lou

Okay, you all seemed to have poked the bee's nest. I just received this. Do as you may. Dear Sir, I have been advised about several posts on your site about me and my business, The Curiosity Emporium, by an associate that are very upsetting. I am referring to entry number 28 (and others) under the topic of Boy Scout marbles. This is a total fabrication and lies. Upon close inspection you will find that the link http://halloweencoll...ox-only-vintage and others do not even pertain to me in any manner whatsoever. Why this person would be so interested in what I buy and from whom borders on obsessive. I have NEVER bought wheat paste from the source he has listed or any other source, it is a flat out lie, don't you require proof from your members accusations?. I do by ink, toner and other art supplies, however if you would look at my Ebay store you will see that the bulk of my business is posters, t shirts and original ouija boards which require these supplies, but it is really none of his damn business. Someone needs to explain to him that images don't just appear on t shirts. This person is obviously trying to put me in a pigeon hole that does not exist. The fact that he has found a Planters expert that verifies authenticity, and he is still determined to find one that says other wise proves that he is purposely and deceitfully trying to create a case to fit his opinion, not the other way around. If you look long and hard you can find someone to say anything you want them to! . I am the author of the "Book of Great American Firecrackers" http://www.amazon.com/Book-Great-American-Firecrackers-1900-1965/dp/098007424X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433114576&sr=8-1&keywords=great+american+firecrackers and I deal with the same kind of issues you do. FYI: On the subject of fonts being used to date anything, which seems to be real confusing to most of your membership. Trying to match this one to that one,etc., etc. Well over 80% of the fonts we use on our computers today are not new. They were taken directly from old typeface books used by printers from days gone by, which had 1000's of what we now call fonts but used to be called typeface. In other words when your membership says blah blah blah the Arial font that was invented in 1993, what they are really saying is the Arial typeface on page 118 of the 1890 typeface catalog of a Smiths Print shop, that was converted into a digital font in 1993. If you look though an old typeface book form the 1800's, you will see most of the fonts on your computer today. Don't believe it? Get a old typface book and educate your membership! If you are going speak with such authority at least try to know what the hell you are talking about. http://www.amazon.com/Solotype-Typefaces-Lettering-Calligraphy-Typography/dp/0486271692/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433118465&sr=8-1&keywords=typefaces+solo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typeface#History Bottom line: I consider these lies and false claims to be defamation of character, slanderous and purposely and maliciously damaging to my character and my business and I will not hesitate to take any action deemed necessary to defend myself and my business. I have an excellant 16 year reputation on Ebay with almost perfect feedback. While I certainly encourage discussion and debate on a site like yours, I consider this to be a personal attack without merit or facts. As moderator, I would think that you would have a duty to make certain that any and all accusations against a person or their business are accurate. I hope that you will seriously review the posts and make the necessary changes. Sincerely, Jack D. Nash

I'll get to the other smileys this weekend. No problem on the questions. Lou

Hard news to take. Rest in Peace. Lou

Scott; We bumped heads a few times, but you are a good dude. Feel better my friend. Lou

What type of info do you need? I think I have a couple she made. Here is some info on Ashley http://mm.bglances.com/1-01-21-00%20Glass%20Artist%20-%20Ashley%20Genovini.htm

Love this thread, while I love most of them, the one's with clear rock. Too many skip the clear. Lou

Sad, sad news. Lou
