I guess I'm too impatient and busted a few of the smaller questionable stones up from our trip. You're right...hammers and the stone that looks fractured DON'T mix! I have crumbs to show for it! *chuckles* Live and learn...live and learn!
So, not gonna try THAT anymore.... Spent the whole day waiting for Fed Ex! *sighs* (well sorta...between doing coding, scanning ebay, haunting the forums...yada yada yada)

Yeah, Emerald, there's a prize inside, but you really need to use a saw. About 1/3 of what I busted is usable and there would have been more if it had been cut. I even tried to very lightly tap off the crumbley parts only to have a big piece of clear quartz break off. Hold off till your saw comes in. I started some of the smaller river rock today along with the good, clear crystal (some nice smokey quartz too) from busting it up. This going to be a nice batch. But I told my husband "We need a saw to really make this work." He agreed. Can we work our men or what cookie

I know what you mean! Rob stayed in Chicago to get an extra day of overtime in! He's gonna have a stroke when he sees the AmEx bill! (Though, he's semi-prepared for it...it's always worse when he sees it!)
I have to get that stuff on ebay soon to start paying for my addiction!

Of course I am not cookie, but I am responding anyway. I do not have anything to say and I even had a thought today. I forgot what it was and while remembering I forgot what I wanted to remember. In searching for the lost chord, I had a thought and I lost it. I went into the desert and got lost. The weirdiest thing, Armadillos scream! I would never have thought. There is one living under our new house. Armadillos eat ants. That is a good thing. We have Armadillos, fire ants, and an ant called a Bull Ant. He hurts! I wonder if Armadillos are good eating. I know they have four little Armadillos at a time. I know this because I read it on the internet. I just get this picture of four Armadillos standing under a full moon singing in the Armadillo quartet with one Alto soloist. I hope they do not dress like penguins and sing chorale. If they sang blues, because they have four bony plates for exoskeleton with seven bands, they could be the Bony Blues Quintet! Arrrrgh!

I used to eat Friskies, and I used to eat worms to show off for the little ladies I wanted to date. Never did figuire out why they were not totally absorbed with my greatness. Of course Ralph loves me even though he won't sleep with me. He looks at me all day long and won't let my wife play with him. Muffy is her Bengal and Muffy has trained her to be a good servant. Ralph doesn't care. I wonder, why, when a person is so tired their eyes feel like two week old underwear with all the related stains and colour, do little gritty pieces form on the eyelids? I canot even proof what I write, and I keep spelling the, teh, and what, waht. When I go back to correct, I have a fog over my eyes. How come I cannot erese previous posts where I really look like I fell off the melon wagon, HARD? Help, I am typing and I cannot turn it off. Maybe the Matrix is real after all.

My first piece of advise would be, lay off the Friskies. Youve seen what it's done to the cats. Oh, and try Visine. You'll be amazed. And then go to bed Bonzo. It's called sleep. It's a good thing. I've heard armadillo tastes like chicken.

I do not know how to express the difference a good nights sleep makes on a person's perspective. All I had to do was get up, have lots of coffee and throw mothballs in the burrow. Goodbye Armadillo. No blood, no exotic toxins, no electric shock, one whiff and bye bye. The world does not look like a Cheech and Chong movie today. My wife looks at me carefully but is more relaxed. I tell her it is the price of being an undiscovered, humble, world famous, modest, country artist near a big city. Now, if only the noise in my head was a little quieter. People are starting to look and I am attracting people who are being followed by satellites with little chips in their heads. They stare a lot also. It is unnerving.

Jerry Jeff is da MAN! Miss those days. Good job with the mothballs. Wouldn't you leave at the smell? I probably would have named them and considered them pets. Arny and Dilly and... Thank you Morpheous, for putting my head back on my shoulders. Last Sunday I slept from 12:00AM to 1:45PM the next day. I assume I must have needed that. Felt great since and will share my latest project in another post cookie
