I'm enjoying my home made eggplant parmigiana right now and have no one to share it with.

I wish. I am waiting to find out the results of how the town's council meeting went. I'm a bit of a rabble rouser especially when it involves companies and government lying to people.

In the past few minutes Ive been wizzing around this site making slightly inapropriate posts, perhaps I should stay here a while.
Does anyone want some extremely thick home-made orange flavour hot chocolate? I can't seem to finish it off.

I have managed, at least in WRITTEN word, to replace nearly ALL of my cursing with curses from either the Wheel of Time, or the Malazan Book of the Fallen!

From the "Its too good to be even remotely believable" Department: I was on eBay looking at fossils, when I came across this beauty:  Purportedly a dragonfly caught in Baltic Amber. Considering that even tiny bugs in cloudy amber go for rather large sums of money, something like this should be worth thousands, yes? Heck, a large piece of amber that clear even without the bug is worth quite a bit. Their asking price: 99 cents. Wait, it gets better. Now it's painfully obvious that it's fake. I added it to my watch list, thinking I may get it anyway just for the novelty. Resumed my search... oh, look, there's another one! Same picture, same description, being sold by a different vendor but from the same part of China. Oo, another one! Again, same picture, same description, being sold by yet another vendor from the same part of China. Finally I did a search for "amber Dragonfly Ball", and got about thirty hits. All with the same picture. All from the same town in China. Some of them had bids on them; I honestly hope those bidders had the same realization i did, and don't think they're getting something fabulously valuable here. |

I was a paleontology nut when I was a kid and actually got a rubber ball on birthday that looked exactly like that, even the size. I loved that thing. |

I think I had something like that when i was a kid, too. So looooooong ago.... I decided to pass on the obvious fakes today, and instead got a nice polished piece of coprolite. I can't wait to see the looks on my daughters' faces when I tell them what it is. |

If you look up Cabela's, I think you can still get a genuine, gold-plated cow patty!
