No problem Marie, I know deep down you were a good person. Lou

I was asked if there are any clubs in TN. Anyone know of any? Lou

I'm kicking myself for never getting to meet Weldon. I had several chances during Jabo marble runs but was never able to make it. Lou

Welcome to the board. Lou

Thanks all! Lou

So sad, wishing Godspeed. Lou

Wow, bad news. Lou

They look like vintage marbles....no wait, wrong thread. Look good. Lou

Hi Kevin. Lou

Has there ever been a Jabo thread that Galen doesn't piss on? Lou

Damn Bill; I think my brain exploded. Lou

Edna; I may not have posted, but I'm watching. Let me know before you decide to do the JABO post you want to do. If you are going to put a lot of time into it, I may do something special with it. Lou

Very nice! Lou

I hope to make it this year, kind of broke, but like to say hello to my friends. Lou

I'm addicted. Lou

The thread is still there, just not in the main section. If you need to chase the ambulance it is there. lou

I have a problem with the way this quote reads. I take from this quote that "true oxblood" can only be made using the MFC/Akro formulas, and that any other way is not a true oxblood. If I go to the paint store and buy green paint from 3 different suppliers, are they not green? I'm sure they all may have the same color, but I'm also sure they may have reached the final color point via different chemical makeups. Oxblood is a color term made up by marble collectors to name a certain color. If you can find any marble literature from the mid 1700's on that has the term "oxblood" used to name this color, I'd like to see it. Final colors in glass have many conditions that need to be perfect to repeat the color on a regular basis, especially reds. Who is to say that MFC/Akro didn't screw up the batch of cherry red during a run because it rained hard for a week and the red "browned" out. I'm not trying to find fault with these posts, only just like opinions, there are many ways to get to the final answer. Are all correct? Are a few correct? Are they all wrong, but decent guesses? You must decide for yourself and make an educated decision. Lou

Hey Galen; Did you just feel that aftershock? Lou

Here is Oscar in the snow.. And Haven... Lou

Yeah, we got about 16" so far, sill had about 14" on the ground from the storm on Saturday. It's heavy & wet snow. Lou

Gene.. Dennis Richardson made the marbles but they were donated by Carole. I will ship your marbles as soon as some of the snow melts and I can get there, looks like Friday. Lou

Couple of pics of the snow in my yard, the Basset Hounds have bottomed out! Lou

Kingfisher is the winner with a correct guess of 48. Gene, PM me your address and I'll send your marbles. Lou

You can never have enough marble boards. Welcome back Liz..... Lou
