Well done. Burning it to a disk now.

Ah, is this the one?

I don't have the catalog. They sent a catalog once ... I didn't know why. Just the once, though, I think.

Do you know what the Marble King trophy sold for? Or the fancy gumball machine? Bright side -- I'm happy for the Captain at least if the prices were high.

fun colors

That article says Tinka is "one of the last surviving marble factories in Latin America". For a moment I got my hopes up about how many that might mean. It could only mean Tinka and Vacor though. Anyone with the language skills to ask them? Also, fwiw, I believe there are many factories around the world with marble making machines -- for fiber glass.

I can rest easy now.

What do you call the Noughties? Just read this in an Irish article: "mid-Noughties". Found it aesthetically pleasing. I now officially call them the Noughties too.

Pieces of me falling off. And the thermometer gave me a reading of 94-point-something a couple of days ago. I have to consider the possibility that I am a zombie.

No ... it stayed on the bandaid, and then went into the trash. A hunk of me into the trash. Then the hole was covered up by a new bandaid and I posted a whine on facebook before I eventually went back to check to see if my food was burning.

ooooooohhhh! Wonderful display. I have a lot of AMTs in the queue to post soon. Got behind.

Not familiar with Murano ...... Looking forward to the lessons from the folks who are .....

... if your first thought when you first glance at something as amazing as this is to look more closely at the bottom right panel to see if those are marbles .... well, the smaller version which first popped up on facebook looked kinda marbular ...

Ray, I found a place where you posted one which might have been it, but it was hosted at AOL and is gone now. Okay, this is Scott's pic. Is there a Tequila Sunrise in here?

*waves at Ray* Sorry I didn't get on that. Been under the weather. Does Al have the right kind? Should I still go looking. (I did a quick search and didn't come up with it, but I can try again. )

So, I'm trying to eat something substantial for the first time in days and I choose to make a hamburger. As I wash up after making the patty, the bandaid on my hand is loosened, and I figure after you handle raw meat that's probably a good time to change your bandaid anyway .... So I rip it the rest of the way off. And lose a chunk of live skin from my palm. *happy happy joy joy*

Someone pick that trophy and gumball machine up for me. Okay?

*whimper* Yeah ... that's me. Mmmmm, Nyquil. All day long!

Four ribbons? Yeah, not seeing horseshoe.
