OK, my second batch is finished. Looks like poo poo. Llanas batch ready for pre polish looks about the same, but mine is cracked up. I cheated and used turtle wax and it didn't help. And I'm out of coarse grit so I can't start a new batch. Have to wait till my day off to go get some grit and visit "my new best friend". AAAHHHRRG Is there a 12 step program foe rockaholics? Oh, nevermind That would mean I'd have to quit. I DON"T have a rock problem. cookie

CONGRATULATIONS! You Go! No more stinky hair, you can smell again, save $$$! Yeah, I'm a smoker. I feel your pain. Though giving up smoking would be more difficult than this. Gotta do it though. It will be the death of me if I don't. I'm ashamed that my late husband died of lung cancer and I still smoke. We both quit 3 months before his diagnosis. Irony sure is ironic. Stress is my trigger. Got any helpful hints?

Are you sure you don't have a rock "problem", you can deny it but the truth will come out eventually. Did you have the plastic pellets or some other cushioning material in with the rock?

Keep trying. I'm sure you next batch will be better. My first batch looked like crapola too.

Two points that might help:
1) Quitting smoking is said to be as hard as quitting cocaine.
2) You don't have to wait until you can get some more coarse grit. I did a day-long tumbling demo; just amethyst and water as I didn't want to worry about the barrel freezing up in transport. By the end of the day the amethyst was significantly rounded. Quite surprising. Give it a try.

quit before for 6 months with welbutrin. it's like zyban but the insurance covers it. but this time i used the patch. just got tired of coughing and not feeling good. it was feb 26 at 11:45 PM. went out for my last smoke before bed "never smoke in the house" and i was about half way done when i just said to my self what an ass " that is what my wife calls me most of the time" so i threw out my smokes and any thing else that went with them and thats that. it is hard. i think about it all day how good a smoke would be "work with two smokers" but i take a deep breath and don't cough any more so that makes me last another day

I think I'll try the rocks in water and just see what they will do. At least I'll feel like I was doing something. And I'd be holding my rocks, that allways makes me feel better. I've quit smoking I don't know how many times. Patch, welbutrin, patch again, even hypnosis. That actually worked better than anything else. I get up coughing every morning. Gotta set my mind to it. Once I get some rocks running that I'm excited about I spend a lot of time with them and keep my mind (and hands) busy. Right now, smoking more, enjoying it less. Come on Thursday!
