Sorry if this thread has been hijacked, but I'll carry on with the conversation anyway.
Many years ago when I joined the forces I wanted to get a trade as a carpenter/joiner or plumber.
Now I know the forces have their quota of trades positions that need filling, but, due to my colour perception deficency I was refused carpenter/joiner or plumber.
BUT I was offered aircraft technician, ammunition technician, electrician or radio tech.
Go figure on those then. ;D ;D ;D

It's not contagious but it is hereditary    A person is color blind if all his or her X chromosomes have the defective gene. A man has one X chromosome, and a woman has two. Thus: If only the father is color blind - The probability that the son is color blind is 0% - The probability that the daughter is color blind is 0% - The probability that the daughter is a bearer of the defective gene is 100% If the mother is a bearer of the defective gene, but is not color blind, and the father is not color blind - The probability that the son is color blind is 50% - The probability that the daughter is color blind is 0% - The probability that the daughter is a bearer of the defective gene is 50% If the mother is a bearer of the defective gene but not color blind, and the father is color blind - The probability that the son is color blind is 50% - The probability that the daughter is color blind is 50% - The probability that the daughter is a bearer of the defective gene is 100% If the mother is color blind and the father is not - The probability that the son is color blind is 100% - The probability that the daughter is color blind is 0% - The probability that the daughter is a bearer of the defective gene is 100% If both parents are color blind - The probability that the child, regardless of gender, is color blind is 100% See Randy, it's in yer jeans or pink assless chaps if that is yer thing. Sorry I couldn't resist the temptation ;D ;D ;D

At 150 per hour, that means you filled your vibe in under 4 hours. Is that starting with slabs, with the forms drawn on them? Even THAT is hard for me to imagine. I'm guessing it would take me a whole day to cut slabs, maybe mark the forms that night, then the entire following day to cut them out. I'd luv to see a video of you cutting these!
How long does it take you to epoxy the bells on?

More beer means more, or less pendants/hour? ;D I especially like the cobra tiger. Adrian Is that Cobra Tiger Jasper/Agate or Cobra Tiger Beer?  Haha, Rogue, I know you Englishmen have lots and lots of delicious beer brands but I never heard about "Cobra tiger". Is it blonde or dark? Or maybe I shouldn't ask you about its color, better ask you about its taste? ;D Adrian PS. Randy, you still didn't tell me if the beer is gearing up your cutting or if it brakes it. I got to know it, I'm a bit slow I think ;D |

Harry, after how many glasses of beer do you see it this way?
I suppose it also starts roaring if you drink enough ;D

LOL, Whenever I ask my husband for a suggestion on a color for something, he riddles off that same "mauve, fuschia etc. list just to irritate me because we both know he isnt sure what shade any of them are.
Great pendants by the way...........Ive got a vibe and have always wanted to try some of those but I just never get around to cutting any material for them.

Amazing tumbles and awesome shine. You rock with the tumbles and I remember how you set up to cap them off. Are you going to take a pick of that also. would love to see 500 all in neat rows just waiting.
Good info about color blindness too. I thought only guy could be colorblind and that women could only be carriers.

Randy - That's Bulico jasper from Mexico. Sorry for not speakin' up when you first posted it. Also my first cab-o-gone.  Can't complain though, only had one other.  |

Ah yes, seems to me that I remember being told that it is indeed Bulico. I wish I could remember who gave it to me. It was either Harley (agatemaggot) or 58vette.
