If I had actually learned the periodic table in the 1970's, how different would the present table look? How many new elements have been added since then?

Sort of a marble run .....

Of course there are these:

I used to have a folder full of pix of tri-color agate boxes. I couldn't get enough of 'em. But then one day I damaged the back-up disk with all my S folders and T folders on it. And all my beautiful Tri-Color Agates box pix were gone. *sniff* I have many back but not in a central location. This box pic came from George. And I'm sure I have more from him. Gotta gather 'em together. And if any of you have box pix I would love to see 'em. Or pix of individuals to show the details (and beauty ). Whether the patch or the cork kind ... I'm interested in both.

Gonna start a separate thread JUST for Akro Tri-Color Agates. Here's what I'm starting it with. I once had a folder full of Tri-Color Agate box photos and I damaged the back-up disk and lost 'em all. I do have more boxes than this to show. This pic came from George and I have more than just this one from him. But I gotta gather 'em together.

As to my bump, I just thought everyone would be as delighted to see the cat again as I was.

Bump. Forgot what thread I put the psychedelic cat in.

My problem with the noodles is that I start eating them when they're too hot. So by the time they get down to a good temperature for eating, I'm on my last bite. This time I let them cool while I did something else which I couldn't put off, so I was able to enjoy the bowl for longer. They did end up mushy, and had absorbed more than the usual amount of the spicy liquid (mama mia), but yum.

I moved Ron's mystery peewee over to here so that maybe more people will notice and maybe someone will recognize it: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/21618-unusual-peewee-broken-off-from-peewee-thread

It does look old but ????? Galen? That1? Craig? Someone?

Hi Jay. Welcome. That's a pretty cool set up. Be sure to post some of your runs over here: http://marbleconnection.com/forum/31-marble-runs-marble-games/ Nice to have more run makers on board. Are you in America? I wondered if Americans made runs also. Our two run-makers so far are from Europe.

LOL ... sorry ... I won't try to convert you to raisins. Well, not very hard. I didn't much like 'em as a kid. Just very much enjoying them as a cooking ingredient. Making ramen (well, udon) with bok choy right now. No raisins.

I don't remember ever knowing that Imperials came in peewee sizes. Learn something new every day!

What is the difference between a hippo and a Zippo? One is really heavy. The other is a little lighter.

Thanks guys and gals!

Now I wish I'd saved the pic from facebook where someone put Vitro cat's eyes into a glass block tile thing and turned it into a pretty light. Clearies would have looked nice in it also.

Very pretty. I love clearies. You could put them between two panes of glass and make a mosaic ..... The dragon headboard has 18,000 marbles. (From the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith.)

The raisins are soooooooo good. Only a few this time and was happy about going with less. Every bite of the burger was scrumptious. But it was still good back before I thought to add the raisins. Savoury.

I was hopeful.

Oh William, that's stunning. (And I always love Alan's trove.)

I thought Galen would have posted his eyelashes by now. *I'm looking at you, Galen*

Cilantro burger. After too much cilantro in a burrito-thingy and in a salad, I put exactly the right amount in my pound of ground beef. Plus some dried onions, terriyaki sauce, raisins and crushed red pepper. A little bit less than usual of all those things in case the cilantro was already on the too-much side. But everything was perfect. And then I froze the rest of the cilantro bundle because I've run out of things to try it in.

Yes, that's our secret.

LOL ... we're organic. The color can be "bubbles" if we want it to be.
