In your first photo, 3rd rock over is what looks like a 100 pound Caribenia agate worth thousands of dollars. I would have stolen it. Can't believe you left it behind. Happy Bday Mel.

The big rock in the middle of your second photo looks pretty impressive too. I would paid excess baggage to have hauled that home!
A belated happy B!

I don't think Scott meant posting well wishes for Mel's birthday made you a flirt. Nuthin' wrong with birthday threads.
Sorry, captbob , I have to say I agree with @shotgunner on this one. Before Mel left for her cruise, there were times when the two of you were having verbal intercourse, thread answering thread, back and forth like a ping pong match. I kept thinking to myself, "Where is rockjunquie ? Now is a totally appropriate time for her to say GET A ROOM!" A flirt? No, that's not quite strong enough. If you were female, I'd say you are a shameless hussy. LOL

I was noticing the "friendly banter", too. I decided to bite my tongue- or, I didn't have enough to drink. But, yeah the boys get a little goofy when a pretty new girl shows up. LOL!

Sorry i missed it. I'm not as big a flirt as captbob ... Huh? Posting a B-day thread is flirting? I hope that when I did a B-day thread for Glenn a couple years ago that he didn't think I was flirting with him! Welcome back Mel. Sounds like good times were had. Looking forward to tumbler, saw and cruise trip stories. poolside pictures optional <--that's flirting!Just between us...shhhh I've always preferred knee slapping, witty, sometimes intellectual (yalls math equations), friends to friends (all that has jumped in to lighten a stressful day with whimsical comments) banter Over Catty comments But that may be just me ๐๐๐๐

Wow Mel, you ain't just whistlin' Dixie about catty comments! And no, it's not just you. I just went through back 35 pages of my posts -to early February- (yes, that took over half an hour) to try to figure these two posts out I don't think Scott meant posting well wishes for Mel's birthday made you a flirt. Nuthin' wrong with birthday threads.

If you were female, I'd say you are a shameless hussy. LOL
This next isn't even in the same league as the above, but now just having fun chatting back & forth means I'm getting goofy because Mel is "a pretty new girl"? That's pretty shallow. I talk the same way with James (and he ain't 'zactly what I consider "pretty" sorry James) so?? I was noticing the "friendly banter", too. I decided to bite my tongue- or, I didn't have enough to drink. But, yeah the boys get a little goofy when a pretty new girl shows up. LOL! My back to early February search went well before you had posted any pictures of yourself, so who could have called you a "pretty (new) girl" at that point. Which, is actually not a point at all ... In my curiosity satisfying search of old posts, there are two instances where I casually called you "my dear" and one post when you were leaving on your recent cruise where I said: So yeah... I can see where two "my dear"(s) - as exampled in the following quote - My intent is usually to amuse, but I'll take what I can get! Thank you my dear. Figured if it worked for the Egyptians building the pyramids and those Druids doing their Stonehenge thing it should work for me. You should see the pool that I built for my dogs where that piece of plywood is out in front of the saw. Now THAT was amazing. Shouldn't you be driving to Florida? and a "We, on the other hand, will miss your exuberance" qualifies verbal intercourse and is sufficient to label one (me) a shameless hussy. I would love to see any other examples to validate such a crass and baseless comment as this -go ahead... I'll wait. And no, LOL does not negate or excuse. Need to look up aspersion? Actually, I see no need to defend my comments here, and that is not the intent of this post, because IDGAF what anyone thinks; but searched anyway just to try and figure out WTF was being yapped about. I still have no idea. It's actually a pleasure to have a new member so enthusiastic and with the ability to dish out and run with a "witty banter" type conversation. I enjoy such, so I will take 'em where I can get 'em. Guess I can joke and tease and give a hard time to the likes of Jim, but if I do the exact same with the "pretty new girl" it's down right scandalous. F' it if some want to make more of my posts than are there. I'd say I'm surprised, but I'm not. And leave it at that. The searching did pay off in that I did find a picture of a rather large Rio that I am tumbling solo. Thought I had taken such a pic, but couldn't find it. Bonus! Now, I'm also waiting to hear what went wrong with your blue tumbler while you were away. And for pictures of your new saw!

captbob, My blue tumbler... it was those wonderful inexpensive O-ring I purchased ๐๐ with me not being home to oil it just a dot I might add, it sluffed off a lot of the rubber and hindered traction. It's cleaned now, expensive o-ring put back on and rolling like it's ass is on fire. As far as the unveiling of my saw I'm almost at the end of my first cup of coffee Mind You my cups weren't made in Europe Working on opening this bigger than me box! I will present the unveiling in a new appropriate thread to keep the Fun Police at bay IT IS GREAT TO BE HOME!!!

Jeez, captbob, don't get your panties in a bunch. We're playing with you. And, I mentioned a pretty new girl in the general sense, whether she posted a picture or not. (Not that she isn't, though.) Just playing with you. But, hey if I offended you or melhill1659 then please accept my humble apologies. But, I do think it is cute how you protest.

Ditto what rockjunquie said! It was all in fun, did not mean to cause a meltdown, LOL. I don't have a catty bone in my body. Sorry that you took my comments that way, I never intended to cast aspersions on your upstanding character. captbob , melhill1659 - Please accept my humble apologies as well. Nothing wrong will a bit of Joie de Vivre, and having fun!

Sorry for my outburst guys I'm a little on edge from my cruise. Even though I had an amazing time with my sis and daughter, my daughter's best friend's mother had my feathers ruffled throughout the week more than a few times with her Catty Comments. I was probably projecting.

Since y'all kinda brought it up... @captnbob, this is one of the stories about my trip. We are on the beautiful island and perfect beach of St Thomas, said mother pissed me off so bad that day (I pride myself on learning to deal with my over the top sometimes anger management issues btw) that I smoked pot for my 3rd time in my life ๐๐ Figured my odds were better taking chances on the local skunk weed than dragging her and her mouth to the deep end of the ocean and drowning her.

captbob melhill1659Bob, I don't think harmless flirting is a problem. And you do it better than me. That was the point of my post. I didn't pursue it further, cuz i thought a quick tease to you was enough. As long as the recipient is cool with it, then flirt away! Mel, Open that danged box!
