it's been a long time since I've attempted to return to this site.. and I wish we could move forward..
Note to rockmanken: Yes I still have all the items you've sent me.. and have yet to do anything with them.. Thou wife is favoring the Mutton jade.. So I'l have to thing about what I want to do with it..
Note to Donnie'sTreasures: Hope your enjoying the jump rings.. Wife is busier then ever with the copper rings now.. Seems the copper chainmail is in high demand.
To anyone whom attempted to connect with me on facebook.. I found facebook.. to be.. redundant and nearly suicidal.. the lack of support, hacked accounts.. etc.. So I'm no longer on face.
There is some good news.. I was finally able to locate a dremel to replace my burned out one and I've been participating then Minerals.net forum community.. Granted it's just started.. but Things are going well.
Otherwise, My tumbling hobby has come to a halt.. Got last months electric bill and had to compete a few stages then shut the tumblers down. Because I was able to locate the dremel.. I'm now working on creating as many 8 sided Grounding stones as possible.. (high demand for these too)
So great to be back.. and btw.. I've put in a good work for you guys over at Minerals.net.. Not sure.. but they are always open for forum topic suggestions. They even created a sub cat just for me and my friends.. Metaphysical aspects to minerals & crystals..

How friggin blessed we are,is this the third, or fourth time? Gonna be the same old crap,deleted posts,highjacking threads,bad advice? This is too good a forum to put up with your bullcrap.You need to stay with all your metaphysical buddies on that other site.

Hey Snuffy, he's done the same thing on at least one more site. Every time he gets his knickers in a twist about something he's gone. Then a few months later he's back until the next time he throws a tantrum.

Yeah, I made the mistake of helping a newbie, only to find that he is a flake. WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE. Can't get any plainer than that. Of course, he was good for laughs, Snuffy.

I'm not big on that metaphysical stuff, but I love the idea of communities based around a love of rock and lapidary. So I hope it works out this time round. You do have some bridges to repair. But my world view is that there has to be paths of redemption.
Be genuine, keep advice accurate and in context, and allow for time to soften any hardened opinions. If you need to take a break, maybe don't delete everythign this time. The orphaned threads are bothersome.
good luck

Yea, I was nice before, but not this time. Posting inappropriate threads not pertaining to rocks. Ken

hmm...
I think he should just stick to his guns and stay a member. If his posts are inappropriate, let the mods sort it out. They could always perma-ban his IP addy if he really becomes a nuisance.

I really wasn't trying to scare or run him off in that Hover thread. Was just trying to help him understand as gently as possible what was going on there and minimize confusion down the line... It's kinda sad... he seems lonely or something.

Jo, it is very sad. He has a big problem bordering on paranoria. When I sent him some items a while back, he had to get his wifes permission for me to send it to him. Was giving it to him like I have done so many newbies. That is what we all do. Then he wouldn't tell me his name and had to send it to his wife at her work address. He got really upset when someone told him (to keep him out of jail) that it was illegal to have owl feathers. They were just trying to help him. He has some bad problems. I feel sorry for him, but don't want him back with his offbeat and off subject posts. Ken

Dont feel bad, dont be sad, Jo,be glad. This site runs so smooth and everybody gets along until he enters the picture,with the nonsense of his posts, offering up for trade or give aways stuff he found dumpster diving,or his thread highjackings,or his wizard stick with the owl feather that floated down from overhead in the daytime,too many to list. Too bad he didnt stay on a little longer so I could be the first to get on his dreaded ignore list multiple times. ;D ;D One more thing I cant figure out,he came on here in the beginning as a newbie, not having any supplies or equipment to speak of,Ken tried to help him out. Then,I looked on another site he was on and he discusses tumblers talking about how good the lortone is that he's been using 15 years. Something dont add up.

Jo, he's been on and off another site I belong to 4 or 5 times, and it's always the same as it is here. The guy has got a "poor me" attitude. As soon as someone says something he doesn't like, he's gone again. Don

And thus substantiating and propagating that poor me attitude....
Life's too short, and there are too many rocks out there.

You are just too nice, Jo. I think he gets off stirring up trouble. His posts are always full of blatantly wrong advise to stir controversy. If he is as kooky as he sounds then he deserves our pity. Don't get me started on his (badly done) phony Renaisance Festival Old World speak. Me thinks he pullest our chain.
