I'm just a shale of my former self after that. I suspect it's a case of igneous fatuus, or is that just a metamorph for some other problem? Turquoise and I were discussing it the other day but I'm at loess to understand what they were saying. I think the nub of it's loaming at the edge of my mind but as long as they keep the stalagtite I'll never escape to track down the clues.
ML, I think you have a great future here. Don;t let anyone talc you into leaving!

I guess I'm an old skin-flint, but all I can think of is I wish I had practiced my Vulcan death-grip.
I suppose I'd better go down to the pebblic library and read up on rocks... I don't think I have the stones to keep up with you folks.

Leave? "Even if someone gave me the coal shoulder, I wouldn't zinc of it!" she said ironically. This is no ore-dinary message board, and my intention to mine it will not be in vein.

This may seem igneous of me, but franklinitely speaking, I find all these sediments a lode of malachitarkey! Welcome Micah68woman! May you're sparkling flakes continue to glitter to grace the wit and words which form this board's unique conglomerate! And what a specimen it is! Worthy of any true rockhound's collection!

For more on "human beans", I'd recommend reference to Roald Dahl's Big Friendly Giant (BFG). Especially if you have kids.
'As I am saying', said the Giant,'all human beans is having different flavors.Human beans from Panama is tating very strong of hats.'
'Why hats?' Sophie said.
'You is not very clever,'theGiant said, moving his great ears in and out. 'I thought all human beans is full of brains, but your head is emptierthan a bundongle.'
'Do you like vegetables?' Sophie asked. hoping to steer the conversation towards a slightly less dangerous type of food.
'You is trying to change the subject,' the Giant said sternly. 'We is having an interesting babblement about the human bean. The human bean is not a vegetable.' 'Oh, but the bean is a vegetable.' 'Not the human bean,' the Giant said. 'The human bean has two legs and a vegetable has no legs at all.'

Yeah, I think I'll barite here now that alabasters are gone. And I'm being perlite in calling them that, though some people think I should take anotehr lime.
Being here is fun because we have celebrities come in. Did you know that Saturday is going to be Kato Kaolinite? He's probblygoing to make some obsidian remarksm most of which are graphite, but I guess that's his bismuth and he gets to write off his com-pewter on his taxes. And the nice thing about Kato is we don't have to pay him because he's antimony, though we have to feed him and he has a pretty good apatite. About his humus, though, the loess said the better.
As geode is my witness, I think I'm about to diorite here. And I thought it was gonna be a marble-ous crowd. Ouch, you give tufa one and all you get's a wacke. Takes a lot of grit to keep doing this in the face of that kind of pumice-ment.

'The human bean has two legs and a vegetable has no legs bat all.'Thanks for that, Jim. A little quote that captures the essence of the whole.
