That first one just begs for a "goose that lays the golden egg" comment .... too bad my head is flu-ish and I can't think of a good one.

How about Kokomo?

I have a Sunshine Rippled Wheat bag with glowers. The bags which might be from 1938-ish which say Marble King but were Pelts ....

Yeah, I'd say that's what's called opalescent. The glow is uncommon for lutzes?

Happy sorting!

Shiny!

Anyone remember the patent someone showed -- I think it was Winnie -- for a machine to convert preformed rods into marbles. ... if I recall correctly ..... I guess the machine heated the rods up up somehow and then cut them. I think it was a German patent so it wouldn't necessarily apply to guineas. Just mentioning it because it's not such an odd idea to mix canes and machines.

haha. Very funny. When I put King of the Hill (1993) on my official wishlist my husband threatened to bring me home a season of that. You guys are sooooo cute. lol

Makes sense that it would be possible. Sounds like Brian Graham's specialty.

I had a fruitful discussion with law enforcement in Bob C's area. I don't want to go into the details on the open board but if you were the recipient of one of Bob's threatening messages and would like to learn more Bob's current status and your options, we can talk it over in PM.

pssst, don't look at the next one. I couldn't fix the spelling .......

Still hoping to see that movie some day.

Done. Just in case.

Jeroen and Galen, I found something which I hope is at least a temporary fix. If the threatening messages continue, please make Lou or me aware of them. (Edit: Lou took care of it. Thx, Lou.) William, the name which comes to my mind on CallBob's avi is "Pennsylvania Dutch". I'm not sure though. Gonna try to look that up now.

I'm sending a message to Lou. I used to be able to put members on moderation so we could screen their posts at least. I'm not sure I have that ability anymore. Sending message to Lou right now.

It was kinda hard finding the way to change the password but it's done. Thanks. Hope that fixes it. While I was running the antivirus, I realized that more would probably be needed. Unless someone had turned on Alan's computer the problem couldn't have come from there.

The left appears to be a sloppy imitation of the one on the right. William's layout is quite illuminating.

Which is not after midnight. (And it was posted at 11:43 Eastern Time) Now, you've been given fair warning about the name calling. If you don't back off from the insults on your own, we'll have to take action on our end.

That is a wonderful illustration, William.

Running an antivirus now ....

Oh great. What Sue said. How do I clear it?!!

Well, here is a comparison with a marble Sue posted once. Not a scenic obviously. But a good way to contrast the craftsmanship in the pinwheel design.
