I love the bottles, very cool. My rocks looked like yours so I made a rock garden. Now my garage is much cleaner and I can see all of my rocks at once every time I walk past them, and I can brighten them up with a garden hose when I show them off to my friends. What a great idea!! |

How about saying collective hoarder? Has a nice ring to it. I agree with the others though that you are way more organized than any hoarder I've ever seen so I'm leaning more towards the collector moniker. By the way, glad you kept your marbles, I lost mine years ago...LOL.

OK ...this is scary! I've been away from my comp with a very bad virus (rootkit!). So I log in on an iPod, see your pics, and spot three boxes of rocks I sent under the marbles! YIKES!!!! I've only been plaing with rocks for less than two years and I'm identifying individual rock?! Oh, I must've caught it bad! It may be worse than the computer's virus.

You would have to see our yard, not sure what category we would fall under but you are no hoarder and your collection is so neat and tidy.......You have a ways to go before you need to worry. The marbles are awesome, I bet you have some really cool ones in there somewhere.
Thanks for sharing the pics.

Sue, I sympathize with the computer virus!! I have the flu virus. After 3 days of pain and delirum, Nyquil drugged stupidity, and inability to properly sleep as I wrack with coughing... I'd rather have the computer virus!!! LOL!
It's so bad, I can't even go look at my rocks:(.

Helen:
Sorry to hear about your flu. I've had a viral bug for the last 10 days and haven't touched my rocks other than to recharge two little barrels. However, the computer virus has been a disaster. My husband is an experienced engineer and this one almost did him in! Luckily he was able to save my data on a portable hard drive and he ordered Windows 7 (had been using XP). Our best guess is it snuck in while I was using Netscape as a browser (I know, Netscape has been 'defunct' for seven years...what can I say, old habits die hard!). So now I am a Chrome junkie until it dies...
Hope you feel better soon! And as you can see snuffy has quite a collection. You'll have to find something in glass that he can't live without as he is very generous with his rocks.
Sue

Hi Sue:). I think you'll like Windows 7, I've had fewer viruses than I did with XP, and it seems faster. Virus's are terrible things! I don't use Netscape... but I keep using IE... as you say, old habits die hard, but hey, that's where all my 'favorites' are. Chrome is arguably faster tho.
If Snuffy is interested, I'm always open to a trade:). I just have to get rid of this bug in my head before I can do much of anything. I DID get a tumbler load done today:)!
