It would be a horrible gift for me. I would feel so tormented about whether to eat them or not. But I like that they exist.

"Short" is short but "long" is shorter.

Beautiful! keeperthread

That's magical. Conjuring up Tolkien-esque images. A day in the shire.

Haven't figured out how to get the "new" computer running yet ... and I just saw the weather report for next week, when we'll be moving the big stuff. -3 degrees. *whimper* Well, that's during the night. In the day it will get up to 8 or 9 degrees. Well, on Friday, it will may get up to 20 degrees. So maybe we can put things off until then. *whimper*

I'm seeing Peltier Rainbo on the top right of the three featured. Vitro Buttermilk on the left. Vitro Superior on the bottom.

The "new" one is 5 or 6 years old.

I fell on the snow. Onto a box. I think my ribs are broken. But not going for an x-ray. However, if I disappear off the face of the earth, assume I'm still alive. We're about to switch our internet service over ... and I have a new computer I'll be trying to hook up. Well, not new but newer than this 11-year-old computer. Sooooo ..... what can go wrong?

So much love

Oh goodie ... it's snowing.

Fun! stocking stuffer time

Knuckle down and send the small glass planetoid straight as a crow flies

I'm puttering around my newspaper archives and seeing again how in the late 30's in Wisconsin at least, people seemed to think the Popeye Marble Set was pretty hot stuff. It made it to prize lists and wish lists. So, I don't know if the name was all about the box -- and the box being special all by itself -- or if the name made it to the marbles inside also. (Of course we know that sometimes the marbles inside were what we call Popeyes, and sometimes the marbles inside were oxbloods.)

Digging in my archives

I don't get it!

Oven brick is a good possibility.

Slick Pelts.

Hope everyone is feeling better. Thanks for the notice.

I remember Galen posted a two-color slag before, but I can't remember which country it came from.

That is beautiful.

An antique game piece. .... I might recognize it. Gonna move the thread to the main chat area to get more eyes on it.
