I don't think I've ever heard anything about CA's motivation for making the guineas.

Can you imagine being a kid and having one of those?

lol -- good story.

Anybody here checked their ballot balls to see if they could be MFC?

Cool, Bo. I wish I had the MFC book. I borrowed a copy and read it twice though.

Simple can be sweet.

Thanks for giving it another shot! Not that I didn't trust you .... (:

Great pic of a fantastic marble

Here is the box of Persian Turquoise Hansel posted in the calendar thread:

I don't think I got to see the natural light photo before. It's lovely.

We need a good MFC thread.

This evening's culinary adventure: I started with a hunt to find something to eat with a tomato. Ended with a passable sweet and sour chicken. ... and I ate the tomato while waiting for the rice to cook.

Wow! Separated at birth and reunited!

Hi Keith. Welcome. Love hearing from people who were good at the game. And would love to see your medal if you ever find it. Hope your grandkids can help! Windows Paint is what I use to crop and resize pics so that they're small enough to upload. Also, if you upload them to the gallery, the gallery software will automatically resize them. If all else fails you can email the pix to me and I can help you post them.

What a great picture! keeperthread
