“Thou doth protest too much”-you have a beautiful family and you are beautiful from the inside-out!

Yes, we should all marble on and be done with this. Thank you to all for the kindness.

Thank you.

Life is much too short! I hadn’t seen what she wrote on the other post about the group, who would say that? The moderators are wonderful and so are each and every one of you. I am delighted to be a part of this group.

Speaking of fishing I had a fishing buddy who I used to go with, he passed at 53 yrs and was a purebred Cherokee and he loved catfish. His secret to catching them was tobacco worms. Otherwise, she indeed lost out on a great group of people and although it upset me at first, I was in college at fifteen so, I am not stupid.

I love them!

What is this machine?

Wow!

I look forward to seeing more.

Same here, I haven't touched mine in weeks.

I forgot I’ve had kitties since I was born, not allergic, thank God for that.

Thank you Joep, usually you’d see a big teethy grin but my eye still hurts a bit. I was happy to see you with your lovely wife and see you, who has been so nice to me since I joined the group.

I love the victrola with the dog!

I’m Gina, I’m mostly Scandinavian. I’ve lived all over, however I was born in Richmond, Va. I’ve collected rocks since I was 5. I’ve had asthma since birth and now in addition, bronchiectasis and a host of other delightful ailments, but I always have a smile on my face. I love riding horses more than just about anything, trouble is I have to have the handler bring them out to me because I’m allergic to hay! I love music and playing the piano and singing. I also am a birdwatcher and take ornithology classes online at Cornell University. I am old (61) and still like adventureI I started collecting marbles because my beloved older brother used to have his bag of marbles and when the Crow I feed shelled peanuts to every day, left me one that looked like blue lace agate, I took it to be a sign. I hate posting my photo and please don’t be horrified-I just had surgery-this is me, no makeup, just an old lady.

That made me spray the water I was drinking across the room, I was laughing so hard picturing it, Steph! It is addicting though!

I bought one of these and have been in the land of glowies for days- I even found some in the cullet from Pennsboro. So much fun, that’s the great thing about marbles they take you back, because I was back in my lavender bedroom circa 1973 with black lights and posters listening to Pink Floyd, “Us and Them.” Lava lamp too! I was a young child and thought I was so cool trying to emulate my older sister! You all have a great rest of your day. The husband will be home soon so I have to be resting.

WOW!

She wouldn’t lay still but I tried to get into the Americat theme!

Chippewa Chad! I like that! “The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down……”, they are also known as Ojibwa or Ojibway it means something like puckered moccasin ones, one of my dearest friends was Chippewa. Now I have another! William, I have collected rocks since I was five years old. I am so happy to be a part of this group. You all make me smile and quite happy!

I could eat that spot right now, my mother used to fry them up for me, I love fresh fish. Here, rockfish(that’s what they’re called colloquially-not sure if it’s striped bass or what), are my fave, but no one can cook like your mother. We still have to go to Florida just for a weekend so my husband can eat his mother’s food! He’s lucky to still have her. I would be right there fishing with you William-you’d have to bait the hook though!

Well, I have fretted over my post all morning because I called her a child, young lady should have been used. I am sorry. Thank you both for your support Steph and Chad!

Dank je Joep, I have missed seeing your posts!

Boy those photos are bad, only carpet I had was on the cat’s climbing tree which has clearly seen better days! Many cats have played on it though and my husband built it so I have to keep it!

It's a $2 unsigned contemporary I paid $35 for plus shipping! Live and learn. The smaller I paid a reasonable $5. I've learned so much on this forum. I cannot thank all of you enough.

I missed you William! I see you’re “In a gada da vida” -in a garden of eden!
