RickB: I thought the dryer was shrinking my clothes...
Turns out it was the refrigerator all along. May 6, 2024 19:31:44 GMT -5

werejen: I need opinions on rocks that cannot safely be tumbled. I have found a lot of quartz/mix with nice edges that I do not want to lose. Some have told me to use lacquer on them, and others have said a clear coat nail polish. Thoughts? May 6, 2024 21:22:55 GMT -5 *
