  1. Great examples, Clyde. I added one more view of my sloppy zebra, so you can see (maybe) that there are a few sparkles of green av in there as well. Looks like playin' around to me, too. You don't mind if I keep staring at that precision blue galaxy, right?
  2. Awwww. . . Fritzi's beautiful too.
  3. Joseph's Coats are one of my favorite oldies. Show me more!
  4. Wow -- any idea how big it was? How many players?
  5. I wouldn't expect that kind of mention. You'd have to go to the glass formulas and look for copper oxide, etc., and then figure out if the amounts given (usually in pounds) were sufficient . . .
  6. Those are my reasons too. It's not all that rare in Pelt NLRs. I'm certain the glass people at Peltier (up to and including Sellars Peltier) knew -- through their own observations, if nothing else -- that "an overabundance of metallic oxides formed aventurine," and began playing with it. That there is no mention of it in the Peltier papers known to date does not prove the negative; there also was very little about employees, and we know a bunch of people worked there. And Ron found a chunk of gold aventurine at the Alley site. Just sayin.' I'd guess it was accidental in the few Akro patches where it shows up.
  7. Yep. With carpet reflections.
  8. Had to come back and look at this again, Winnie. Beautiful!
  9. I confess to having regularly watched George of the Jungle (George-George-George-of-the-jun-gle ) and Real Monsters, with Ikus and Oblena and all . . .
  10. Approximately how many are we talking about? Beginning to hyperventilate - - -
  11. Nope. But I know the same thing happened with the ball-point pens where you "clicked" the button at the top . . . And at least one steel roller coaster I know of deliberately added the "chain-ratcheting" noise as it dragged your stupid self up the first really really high hill for the initial freaking drop . . . because the sound added to the tension. Like there wasn't enough, what with being able to see Canada and all from the top . . .
  12. Running away screaming and running away screaming and running away screaming and . . .
  13. Whew. Yes, thanks, they helped. I'm not so much a patch girl. All I have to do now is not look back . . . pretend I didn't see those nanners . . .
  14. Last night I revisited Castle & Peterson's book on cat's-eyes, and the only date they use for the beginning of American-produced cat's-eyes is 1955. FWIW. But of course the book is old now.
  15. . . . and how quickly I move from drooling to weeping piteously . . .
  16. Totally new to me! German? Are those a couple of clays in with them?
  17. And I do so hate being made to drool in public. But I am. And that pink banana in the last row of your banana pics? Is that base glass kind of opal-y?? I may need a towel.
  18. I confess to Survivor (still). And Deadliest Catch. And River Monsters. (And no, I don't fish.) And I too need a treehouse.
  19. Just got this one from a friend - - - (in Tampa Bay)

    More Cheap Food

    Report: It was Italian White Bean & Chicken soup, and it was pretty good. I'm not a good critic of chicken soups though, because most of them -- this one included -- have entirely too much cooked celery taste for me. Just a personal eeewww. If I didn't mind that, it would have been really good! Generous amounts of beans, carrots, chicken, some kind of green (collard? kale?). Not all that much actual celery. Willing to try more flavors.
  21. Thanks. But if I figure out how to use my newfangled camera, you'll get sick of me soon enough . . .
