  1. If they have fire, they were probably Aces. If they have some milky but no fire, then probably Moss Agates. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! ... And thanks for making my brain click too. I hadn't thought about Aces being in the group which get called Ringers, but they certainly could be.
  2. I like! Now I'm going to use that name for clownfishes and sunsets and always make sure to give credit to you, Galen.
  3. A couple of my facebook friends said it was nothing so I stopped worrying. Didn't think about glass jumping off of shelves. Glad you're okay.
  4. Dave!!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
  5. Hi Chris. Welcome. The marbles in this jar look modern to me, with many made in the last 10 or so years. Made in Mexico and China, some still available for purchase new. My advice based on these views would be to pass.
  6. The clump of melted marbles from the Chicago Fire of 1871
  7. I'm not sure I'm picturing this right, but here goes: http://www.mamasmiles.com/global-games-playing-marbles-in-france/
  8. By the way, it is my opinion, which I think several share, that the marbles which some think of as Ringers were versions of that. One color moss agate corks, which could sometimes have enough clear to seem like they were more related to the Popeyes than to the Mosses.
  9. Limbless amphibians. These guys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caecilian
  10. Kewl! p.s., everyone, they can be magnified if you follow the link to photobucket
  11. Really pretty and you show them off so nicely. The gypsy display makes a rich background.

    Dr. Who

    A new season with a new doctor premieres sometime in the next few days. I haven't paid attention to the dates because I don't have cable so I have to wait for PBS or DVD. But you have a chance to get in on the ground floor with the newest regeneration, played by Peter Capaldi.
  13. I still look forward to almost all marble books I hear about. They're labors of love. I can't afford every new book of course. Wish I could.
  14. lol ... yeah, I look JUST like that! Yep. I'm alive. Only bleeding a little. Some kids were calling out to me, asking me if I like skating and if I'm any good at it. Yes, I say, and not very ...that's why I need to keep my eyes on the *splat*. So there were children running into the street hollering at oncoming traffic not to kill me. *eep*
  15. If you never hear from me again, that's why.
  16. lol @ "old crap" What a wonderful dollhouse, if that's what it would be called. I've never seen anything quite like it. Never realized before how roofs and doors take away from what you can do with the interior.
