Box didn't get here today, I kind of expected that. I am anxious for it to arrive on Monday.
Mark, sorry to hear about your friend's health issues. I know it's hard to deal with health issues when there isn't really a good solution. I'll say a prayer for your friend and for you that you will have the strength and energy to be supportive for him in this time.

Hey Mark, I share your pain bro.. I currently know of two people close to me with congestive heart failure, but they are trying to keep going and neither is too far gone . yet, I only say yet because they are both in the mid 80's and the other turned 90 last year and has been fighting bouts of pneumonia and senility. I figure one of them is not going to make the year out, so I try to talk to him as I can whenever he is around, the other I see out for a beer on Saturday nights and we talk then.
Hang in there, and be strong for your friend when he cannot.

Hi guys, sorry about not posting everything in the box. I just figured since it was in the prev posts it didn't need to be redone. Marinedad, you are right I forgot to take pics of your cabs and preforms, so am adding them also. I did take a couple of tumbles, they are in the bottom left of the picture. The coprolite is self collected from down in southern Utah. Thanks and here are pics to show everything else in the box. The slabs The stuff in the smfr inside the lfrb, including marinedad's preforms and cabs The stuff in gingerkid's envelope and the hand2mouth obsidian The rest of the great stuff

Thanks Diane! A lot of times, posts pile up on the thread, so it's way easier to see if each person posts a pix of the full contents, then the removes, then the adds each time.
Mark (and you) apparently didn't take enough out. I hope the CD's elementary put in for everyone to copy and forward on to the next person to copy are still there too, but you both seem to have put in more than you took out, so maybe you need to take some more stuff out too.

Oh no, it is happening again. One page of take outs and two pages of put ins. This is where it all went wrong last time. If you have trouble choosing take it all. An easy way to do it would be to make a take out pile and a put in pile next to each other and if one is bigger than the other make adjustments.
Just my 47 cents worth while hiding under the table. Jim

Oh boy, Marinedad & Diane added some excellent materials to the box!!! I never imagined seeing such a nice variety and rare materials in the box. Totally confirmed, RTH members are innately generous!
I think if I’m lucky I will be getting the box around Saturday/Monday, I have a lot of goodies to place so I might start to prepare them and take photographs in the next days to have them ready.
Blackout5783 and I already communicated and the label will be ready very soon for fast shipping, everything’s running perfectly!
Well, what else can I say… I’m soooo Glad that I will be receiving the box next!!! :cheesy:

Jim, I was advised by Helen it was ok to leave the box as a LFRB. I didn't read your post until I got back from the post office a few minutes ago. I'm sure someone further down the line will be able to get it back to a MFRB since it wasn't 'stuffed to the gills' or particularly heavy. Anyway here is one more pic for Helen, so she knows that Jim's cd is safe and has a pic of the box before I taped it shut. The delivery confirmation number is 0311 3260 0001 7062 0781.
