Re: Who doesn't love swallows ?

The ducks wanted outside alright, for good reason. I love Swallows and all the insect eating birds, but they are not allowed to build nests over where I regularly walk or park or you'll get a colony going.

Re: Server issues....again

Was not implying YOU had one of the cheap servers and their explanation proves it. Seems I always had to learn some weird proprietary thing and mostly just how to "use" it at that. At PP&L it was SCADA and we had to use Leading Edge Word Processor for our logs. When we'd lose the compu...

Re: Stanford researcher warns sixth mass extinction is here

I feel like a troll as I'm driven to make others understand the solar cycles. Most can not think ahead of next week because of the flack the media puts out. A short video and the longer one he refers to pretty much lays out the current change. If I had money I would definitely be looking to set up a...

Re: Server issues....again

I host virginvalleyopal.com on BluHost & they always notify me before any "scheduled" maintenance and apologize and explain any unplanned outages. If I can't get to somewhere on the internet, I don't worry as I know what a house of cards it is. Usually it is fine the next day or week. ...

Re: Forum limitations

This is me over there m. There are a bunch of groups for opals or gems already. Search for groups usually gives up all the public ones, but not the secret ones that already have memberships. I notice several are going secret instead of public for reasons I'm not sure all of, but could easily be for ...

Re: 8 Reasons Why Our Industry Needs a Chain of Custody

Yep. On the small scale. Where did that stone that guy at the show dealing for years/walk in really come from. I told people " I have at least a half a story on everything I sell." Well, mining I know the whole story on the opals here......I need a hole in the ground. At least a saw runnin...

Re: FIFA Women's World Cup Final Today

Congrats to the girls or should I gloat & go burn some random car? Naw, that's not polite. I've got A trip in me for a couple years if that & it will be the 100th running of the Indy 500. Pit passes! My friends sponsor a lap and own an antique racer they run some years for display. The Babe....

Re: Magical, Mystical, Creative And Colorful Opal Jewelry

Nice ones. Like the cuff best, but that collar might really shimmer. I'm wore out already from the answer I just made to Rizal on OA. Gonna be hot again and I have to run to town before the weekend.

Re: My best buddy, Jake.

Just get a sharpie KJ. They come in freckle brown too now. Dogs are not dumb. MY brothers pup saw the cats on the fence and he had to put up barriers because his German Shorthair would use a wood pile or whatever boost to jump up there and run along the 2x4s chasing the neighbors cats.

Nigerian Blues

I think I best get my Yogo gulch Cornflower Blue Round Brilliant graded/(proven)certified/sold before the Africans 'Wolo' the Montanas.
