I am selling everything I own that relates to the rock hobby. My Pixie, supplies and all rock. I only have the best. I high graded everything a couple of years ago and only kept the best. The rest got sold. I will be taking pics and posting prices as I go along. I wanted to let ya'll know first since I have been here for 11 years. If you are local, let me know and you can come up and look through stuff when I get it ready.

I'm really sorry that you are giving it up. If it is a temporary demand on your time, can you just pack it away for awhile? I had to do that for awhile once.

Sheri, it breaks my heart to hear you are giving up on the hobby. I'm so sorry your hands are getting worse. I know you have high-grade stuff and good equipment so someone is going to be getting some good stuff when they buy from you. Keep me updated and know you are in my prayers.

Sorry to hear about the RA. I'm getting it a little worse and worry about how it will affect me in the future. I have an acquaintance who might be interested in your Pixie when you're ready.

If we were able to carry the love and tolerance shown here into the world as a whole and get anyone to follow the example set, who knows what could be born from that?

RA is a bacterial triggered autoimmune disorder. It was linked primarily to mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and also involves adrenal gland dysfunction, which is what actually leads to the over production of low affinity (nonspecific) antibodies also referred to as "asutoantibodies". Here is my write up on autoimmunity that provides more specific details:
