'The Lounge' seems to be a thread for subjects other than marble specific content...sort of a decompression area to post subjects and questions that don't have to be marble oriented. Yes; our common interest is marbles, and we all contribute to this marblecentric universe. However, 'The Lounge' gives members the opportunity to share other things- like UFO sightings, recipes, etc. that show how multidimensional and interesting our members lives truly are. I bet that there is a lot more to your life than marbles. I'm sure that you have encountered experiences that are adventurous, fascinating, bizarre, and wonderful. If you feel so inclined, share some with us so that we may celebrate your world and your life.
