If it was mine and I found out it wasn't worth anything, the way I am, I would be finding me a saw and I would be cutting it in half just to see what it looked like inside!!!!

Bert, when ever I waved at them, they always waved back at me or shot me the bird!!!!!
haha. That would be interesting. I can tell you one of the reasons I knew it was a fossil left by a what was one time a living animal is that there is what looks like a channel or cord for nerves running through it. You might find something interesting inside.
Mr.Rooster, remember the line about the walrus from 50,first dates and Dan Ackroyd?
I might try that Rooster. One of my big regrets in the fossil collecting world is when I was in my early 20s I worked a pipeline job on the Montana-North Dakota border, outside the town of Wibaux, Mt., and the ditching crew cut right through a patch of petrified trees from the dinosaur (Jurassic) period.
I set aside a big chunk that weighed about 50 pounds, that had brilliant reds and greens and yellows running through it. I had planned to cut and polish that, but ended up leaving it out in a garden of a woman's home when a relationship ended.
I like his version of push ups!
I saw a bunch of those units when I lived in IL!
I've been over that bridge a couple of times. It's one of those where I get over to the railing and squeeze REAL tight!!! You look down at the river and wonder, what are those little dots moving down the river...then you realize they're rafts! 😦Haven't gone over the new bridge yet...have the old one.
Have gone over this one twice. First time as a kid. Don't drive....you walk. For about 70 years it was the highest bridge in the world. Still remember that first time. 1,000 feet below you. Royal Gorge in Colorado.....
Much, much easier to believe in my God creating the heavens and the earth than to think ALL of this splendor and wonder that is this world alone came to be from a "Big Bang".... (Imagine how we are presently conversing was created per chance out of a Big Bang that happened "millions or billions" of years ago.) Nah, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
For me, "Big Bang" is a starting point beginning we cannot comprehend. Math, physics and chemistry tools of this creation. I have zero evidence it was by chance. And a universe of evidence to explore. For me, time is a perspective and my frame of reference, to my chagrin, somewhat limited. I've always suspected the stars were so distant because we're just deplorable Neanderthals and not supposed to go. Glad your house is not a democracy. Neither is mine. All life is sacred, Humans aspire to be divine. Civility is expected. And the Lord is served with pride.

You mean just the people living in Mississippi and Texas, and other states who don't have a mask mandate?

Great news. Prayers sent.
I enjoy the plane you speak from. A Unique perspective that is enjoyable to me. Thanks
John Calipari here: “you people are crazy”! Couldn’t resist. Y’all throwing out a lot of stuff last few days, and I can’t keep up. Dropping by to wish the best to all. Still tied up trying to get my mom back healthy and happy. Will keep reading when I can and try to check in from time to time, liking the fossil/ rock discussion. I’m in a very interesting geological area with very diverse findings.
I have to say, I don't give a damn about the British Royal Family. Is it just me? Lost interest the day Princess Di passed away.
Excellent! I hope he stays with it.
Hello all,
I was contacted a couple hours ago asking me to meet the Senior Administrator for the organization I interviewed for last week. (That is motivation in itself for me.) I am thankful. Who knows what tomorrow holds and I ask that your prayer, if you pray for me, is that God places me where he wants me and no more. For that I will be thankful. I can do no better than to be within the will of God. I know that now and that is what I strive to achieve. (I cannot be happier. Been there and done that. Focusing on God and his will is joy. One day I may actually succeed.)
My reasoning to try getting ahead is to do my best. It keeps me on my toes and engaged to where I can perform for my current leadership AND my family. It takes continuous motivation to perform consistently over a long period of time. I use many avenues to keep myself motivated. My new found friends here are part of my joy.
In any event, thanks!

Mine is scheduled for Friday
Your testicle? 😲
We're scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.Mine is scheduled for Friday
Armed with newly acquired knowledge of some 20 ARW vets in the tree, I certainly agree with that sentiment. As a descendant of Augustine Warner, I expect the royalists to be loyalists and dissenting opinions respected with civility so I'm paying more attention than I used to.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 57°F and cloudy. Today's high looks like 76°F. Wife gonna run that air conditioner. Bah.
Pardon me, but for some reason, my brain has not yet engaged this morning.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

I have a diverse finding for you...
Oh, I hope this day brings you all satisfaction. Nothing better than knowing something you've done has a good impact on someone else. Have a great day! God Bless you all...
Had a reminder on faceBook this morning I sent to my children several years ago... (From the Cowboys...)

Morning Legionnaires!
Looking for a high of around 71° today. and possible 80's a day or 2 this week.
Royals? Never cared about that. Most on the left seem to almost worship them. Odd really.
I was born and raised in Kentucky USA. I am American and don't care what my lineage says. Besides, my family never kept records on that. I don't even know who my grandparents or their names on the fathers side are (he left when I was 7). On my mothers side I only knew my grandfather and he had no records of anything. My brother went on one of these sites that you type your name in and they give you the names common to your spelling and where you might have come from but, not sure how accurate that is.
I do like reading about some of your past histories and do wish mine had kept records but, alas, we are the wretched refuse.
Oh and for you RR guys, my grandfather used to ride the rails in hobo fashion as a young man according to my mother.

Brother Sir, I am almost with you. I had my parents and knew my maternal grandparents while I was younger, (My Maternal Grandma (Nancy Ross) lived in a half-way house in Detroit. Later Ole Smiling Jimmy thought that degrading and inhuman for people to live like that and he preceded to create the homeless population.) have a slew of cousins and relatives but, they never did anything, never gave anything, never had anything, and never became anything. I am the baby of my family by seven years.
I grew up nearly an only child, my parents were in the decision-making times of their lives that ended in a divorce when I was 17 or so after "only" 28 or 29 years of marriage but I was already on my own by that time as I had my own apartment the day I turned 16. (I don't mention this much but my Dad borrowed a hundred dollars from me the day I moved on my own. I had money then as I was welding on boxcars making $11.42 an hour. God provided for me even back then as that was huge dough. I only had to go to school a half day my last two years of High School as I had all my credits to graduate as a Sophomore.)(My shop teacher; David M. Falik got me that job at Whitehead and Kales in Michigan.)(He knew I needed it and I was a worker.) He was in his late 50's then but liked me for some reason.
Only my brother is something I ever aspired to be like or make him proud. I am thankful for my family and also thankful for my life.

Good morning D-League. Cool and clear outside the nation's capital.
I saw some discussion here about the Royal Family of Great Britain's scandal. As with some others, I couldn't care less.
But one part of it did catch my attention -- and I hope will lead to a useful backlash: Charging the Royal Family, aging queen and all, with being "racist" and with being afraid the grandkid was going to come out too dark.
I HOPE that's the kind of ridiculous playing of the race card -- by a woman who was plucked from obscurity as a C-List actress and given a life of overwhelming privilege, only to whine that it was never enough, and drag her P-Whipped husband into an ugly estrangement from his family -- that will help turn off even lefties to the use of that tactic.
That said, it probably won't. There appears to be no bottom to the idea of Woke Entitlement for people like her.

Yep, she is the racist.
