I cannot believe that as I was such a city mouse, and now give me the country mouse person...

Good Afternoon all, I would like to start a thread for my own learning on Fossicking. I do not know if this post should be here or in craft, but here goes if this is the wrong place someone will tell me. I am not near a Lapidary club so am not able to attend classes to learn what to do or not to do. With the wealt...

In light of Ken being banned from his local Coles supermarket, a friend sent me this, and I thought you might like to know how to really 'get things going'! 1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down. 2. On all your cheque stu...
