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 *

1dave: werejen, you are in the wrong place. (taunt012)

ThomasT: Cicadas 13- and 17-year emergence cycles align only once every 221 years... much rarer than a solar Eclipse. Next event will be in the year 2245 AD. Woohoo May 7, 2024 17:55:50 GMT -5
