at least we are hoping it will bring luck. sands sent this lucky cabojohn to my daughter who started ball this year. she has been striking out every time she gets up to bat (except 1 hit last game which almost caused me to keel over). sands she was so tickled and i might have gotten a better picture to show the colors IF she would let me touch it lol. maybe after she falls asleep i can sneak it and get a better picture but for now this is the best i could get with her ready to close that hand up if i try to reach for it.  i told her i would make her a necklace and she said no that i couldn't do anything to it lol. kim |

Hey Sands and Kimmy-
Bad trick, If you're gonna post stuff like that you need a disclaimer stating "Don't not open thread around Females", I've got 2 girls that are very interested in pink stuff. LOL
What is the stone? May have to get a little batch going???
Great stone per usual

Sands-
You're too nice. My girls would die. My youngest, 3, hasn't been too interested in rocks, but when she saw the pink she perked right up. "Dad, you make one those?" "We polish some those daddy, flease??" Ha, that's too funny.
Kim-
Ya, you hit it right on the head. Pink socks, undies, hair bands, glitter for face, shirt, coat, shoes.....need I go on. How old is your ball playing daughter? My boy is 5 and just had his first game a couple of weeks ago. There is a girl on his team who has a pink mitt!!!! Does your little one have a pink mitt too????
Funny stuff,
Thanks Sands, you da man.

Sands-
Once again, thank you for your generosity. Sorry to hear that you're having such a bad time w/ that back. My dad had really bad issues w/ his and it made his life miserable. Don't over do it and don't feel you have to rush anything (except for getting a good start on some of that rock I shipped to you, LOL).
Take it easy and thanks again.
Gaetz

Sands, those are beautiful! I love the mook.
i just cant wire wrap to save my life
Well, you are one step ahead of me! You CAN do beautiful cabojohns! Not only does my wirewrapping suck, so does whatever I do on the grinder! I'm so disgusted I don't even want to try anymore! So, am turning my energies elsewhere for now.
