;D Cute, are you the Santa?

Cher

PS
Dear Santa,
Please look at my list for Christmas, I don't want much
and I've been a good girl all year. I've tried to make it
easy for you, you can get all my presents in one place.

A Lortone QT66 tumbler with an extra 12 lb barrel
A Lortone LSS-14P Panther
A Lortone Model LU6X-130
Plus a few extra diamond blades and wheels, 20#'s
each of the different grits and 50 #'s of Mexican Lace
to play with.
Thank you Santa ;D

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone
said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm
just not close enough to get the job done.

Santa, I really wish for a machinist to help me make the faceter I posted plans for. Most of my life I have struggled and when the top of the mountain was in sight, I got served divorce papers! It all fell down. Over and over.
I am doing ok now. I even help people step from their darkness in lapidary. I show people who are really interested how to accomplish what they want. I ask nothing and I recieve everything unsolicited!
Today, I went across the isle at the fleamarket and there was a vendor. He was selling an estate auction he purchased. He did not know what he had!!!!! I showed and interest in three bottles of green stones. I told him I would come back later. He had the bottles of green stones and sold them to me for 12$!!!! They were corzin emeralds!!!! I now have three pounds of inclusion free, T-1 transparent emeralds, 40cts and over each one!
Please Santa. I want a machine capable of cutting these stones with the quality of cut these stones are in raw form.
Santa, if you can not help me find a machineist, could you send me someone I can show what I know? Maybe in time, they can facet these gems and maybe they can know the independance I have come to enjoy.
Life used to be full of sarcasm, contempt, drudgery. Today, life is full of holding treasures, feeling their substance and showing others what they are.
Santa, maybe I have enough. Maybe it is my turn to be there. Maybe you have given me enough time, I am ok, maybe I can show someone something new.
Santa, maybe you can send me someone with a question I can help them answer.
To everyone else. May your dreams come true, and may they be what you hope them to be.
May your pillow be without guilt, and your heart be full of hope, enough to flow to another.

In the beginning was the Floyd, and the Floyd was with Him, and He was with the Floyd. Syd Barret just disappeared, right after the happening. Lita Ford drives a suburban! Big Hair Heavy Metal is dead. Oh weeping and gnashing of teeth, the end is near. The answer is 42. 42! BING! BIG BING!

I bought myself a new desktop computer. I know what I am getting from my mother, daddy, and grandaddy, it is an embroidary stand that has a light, a magnifying glass, a light and if I remember right another arm that holds the pattern, and a round table that has holes in it to put your embroidary floss in it.
It is usually pretty easy to buy for me, I like just about anything fantasy and anything arts and crafts.

A warmer climate to live in, ( for rock hunting), a beach real close by, ( for rock hunting), a lot of money, ( so I don't have to rock hunt)! ;D

The photo is really cute and brought a great chuckle to me.
