FAIL THREAD!!!!

Dave, your words drew such a complete picture in my head, that I could actually see those things unfolding in my minds eye. You sure have a descriptive way of speaking of your experiences. I wish I could have been there with you when you were digging up that tourmaline. My wife has been after a piece of (preferably) "watermelon tourmaline" for some time right now, but the pcs. we've come across have been too expensive. Plus, there is nothing like digging up your own buried treasures. (would have liked to fight a 200 # tuna also). rob

I am sure I have shared this before. However, at this link you can actually see me digging out pink quartz crystal from a pocket in the rock. Pink quartz (rose quartz) is found all over the world, but it is all "massive." Pink quartz crystals are only found two places in the world.

At this link, near the bottom of the page, you can see me withn my arm buried up to my shoulder reaching into a pocket. The last picture shows a specimen I harvested from that pocket.

Here is the link
Coromoto Minerals In Maine

This is the same specimen all cleaned up and on top of my desk now (at the edge of the picture next to the sitting fairy)

Your wife is probably talking about what I would refer to as bi-color tourmaline. Bi-color tourmaline changes color as it goes down the length of the crystal. Watermelon tourmaline changes color along the width of the specimen (from the inside out). If you cut watermelon across the C axis, it actually looks like a slice of a watermelon. It is pink on the inside and has a green "rind" surrounding it.

I'll dig some out later.

Peace,
dave

Dave, thanks so much for sharing those pix. Right now my wife is looking over my shoulder at them. She LOVES the pink or rose quartz as well, & has commented that the watermelon tourmaline that you spoke of is indeed the type of tourmaline that she has told me about, & would love to see any pix of any watermelon tourmaline you might have. Thanks for going through all the hassle to dig those pix out to show to us. We both REALLY appreciated it. Please see your PM's. rob

I've had the most wonderful experiences just being in the right place at the right time, and they were free. Like I said, to each their own. Wonderful one time experiences are abound, and you dont have to pay for the privilege of being there to experiences them. I fought a 14 foot hammerhead shark in Florida with a used $30 pole, and the sun setting over Tampa bay. Being a fisherman, truly one of the best experiences I could ever have. And I didnt have to pay for plane fair, hotel, taxi, the boat, fish finders, renting gear, ect.

If you truly loved the job, than I agree with you. But if you were doing it for the money, then I have to disagree. But that's just me.

I have a professor friend who made it on Jeapordy (the TV game show).

The "Final Jeapordy" answer was (paraphrased)

"The number of dwarves that sing 'Hi Ho' in 'Snow White' ".

She wrote, "What is seven?" :crackup:

She is still getting crap over that answer, decades later :na:

If you're gonna have an epic fail -- Try not to do it on national television :evil:

Peace,

LOL She must be miserable.

So what was the question?

 

[phoenix77]

Wouldn't the answer be "what is six ?" Dave, if this is the wrong answer, please post the correct one, otherwise that silly question is gonna drive me crazy trying to think of the correct answer. I obsess over stuff like that. It's trivial I know, but it will bug me just the same. Thanks, rob

She would have liked to have you on the panel with her

The correct question for the answer was:

What is six?

Although there are seven dwarfs, Dopey is a mute (so only six of them "sing.")

Dopey stumbles along behind the others on their way to the mine, but he cannot sing (and cannot keep in step)

Peace,

Aah, I would have lost. I haven't seen that cartoon in 35 years.

 

[phoenix77]

GEE, I can't believe I got that correct. That makes the things that I have gotten correct in my life can be counted on ALL the fingers of one hand, instead of only four. If I get anything else correct, I'll have to start using my OTHER hand to keep track.......

As I was watching that clip, I got a pop-up for live nude cams. What gives Dave?

Sorry about that. I was unaware. Pop-ups are blocked on my machine.

Why would anyone want to look at a naked camera anyway? :wtf:

Peace,

Are you certain it's not malware on your machine? I didn't get anything.

There's a banner ad that I have blocked:

but as far as I saw no mention of an actual popup.

Pr0n is a fact of life on the internet. YOUR machine is the place to put in controls.

I do not endorse her website, but the facts are clear (very mildly NSFW)
