    Uh...I'm not sure how to respond to that. I took a pick of it once and since I can't post pics with my old phone, I sent it to JA to post it for me in the adult section.

    It's okay. I was making one of my rare, dry jokes. Sometimes they fall flat. :/

    Soak one of those wishbones in vinegar for a few days, it turns into a bendy rubbery kind of thing.

  • "Sure."  For example, I used to collect pictures of state line signs, city limit signs and post offices with the name of the city on the front of the building. They were for a motorcycle tour I used to take annually that required you to go to three states, five counties and one city for each letter in the slogan that they picked for that year.  e.g. - "The quick brown fox jumped over the yellow dog."

    It was a fun ride because you got to set your own route, pick your own cities and states, use your camera and you had from Jan. to Nov. to complete the tour.

    My sisters would find them at the beaches on the lake near highway 2. One of them found a small spearhead.

    I fight a "constant" battle NOT to collect "things."  I see a certain something and say "I can make

    something out of that." Those things can pop up at any time.  Currently have a very small box of

    "things" I collected one day while waiting for my car to be repaired.  When I get to making this

    small work of art it will be very different but interesting.  I should get the pieces out and start

    looking at them.  The pieces tell me what they are and where they go. At times I just need one more

    small  item to make the image of the finished product clear.  Unfortunately I gave away all my tools.  

    If I ever get another set, I'll never do that again.

    I've found more paper money than gold coins, but if I came across some gold coins, that would be rather cool.
