Way down at the center of the Earth, the core as it is called, the pull is intense. The rest of it, what I see every day, endlessly revolves, but down there it is all held in tight. I want to be that close, leave the cycle, become random. I am a part of the pattern and I know that is why I feel this way. So much of it is polluted.
There is the challenge.
I tried to dig it up once. I wanted to know if it would pull my soul out and then would it also find a place in rotation? Follow me around batting at the back of my head? But, my palms blistered before I made it. I would like to say I did not give up, but I did.
Yesterday, I read in the news that someone had finally reached it. Once they arrived, they made legal claim of the core of the Earth. Stuck a flag in it and gave it a proper name, in a proper way...I hate proper. So, now I want it even more. The rest of it can float off for all I care.
Well, not all of it.
I will try again. This time, a bigger shovel and a pair of gloves might do the trick, save my hands. I will not quit; it is worthy work. When I get there, I will release it. I no longer wish to be a part of its rotation. Instead, I wish for the whole of it to become the rest of it.
p.s. each day the same way and then look at it again if its there, focus.

Hi again mel anon.
Hello all. I am annoyed. I bought new shorts today. Came home put them on and while getting dinner on the table the side pocket got caught on a cabinet handle! >_<
Now,I have to try and sew the pocket and make it look like new. Sitting here in my undies sewing.
What a sight!
Congrats Ergo! Hi mel anon

Pick Up Lines
Will you play army men with me.. so I can blow the hell out of you !
Your daddy must have been a baker, 'cause you've got a nice set of buns.
Is it cold in here, or are you just happy to see me.
Do you sleep on your stomach? No. Can I?
Wow! Are those real?
There must be a keg in your pants, cuz I want to tap that ass.
I want to melt in your mouth, not in your hand.
Excuse me, miss, do you give head to strangers? No. Well, then, allow me to introduce myself.
True, there are a lot of fish in the sea, but you're the only one I'd like to catch and mount back at my place.
Why do I have a pierced tongue? You'll soon find out.
Hey baby, will you be my love buffet so I can lay you on the table and take what I want?
How about you sit on my lap and we'll see what pops up?
I'd like to kiss you passionately on the lips, then move up to your belly button.
You must work at Subway, 'cause you just gave me a footlong
I am forever getting my pockets caught on handles.
If not my pockets then my knees, hips etc. I don't think i have ever had a week in my life without having a bruise somewhere.
Here ya go, button-pushing anon. A joke for you.
A Choctaw guy went to Chinatown in San Francisco. While there he found a bronze rat at a thrift store. "How much do you want for the rat?" he asked.
"$3 for the rat and $1000 for the story that goes with it" said the shopkeeper.
Just give me the rat," the Choctaw said, and then he left with it.
As he walked down the street he noticed a couple of rats following him. As he walked further, more and more rats started chasing him. By the time he got to the bay, there were thousands of rats chasing him. So he climbed up a pole and threw the bronze rat into the water.
To his amazement, all the rats jumped into the water.
The Choctaw then returned to the thrift store. "Ahh" the shopkeeper said. "Now you would like to hear the story?"
"No" said the Choctaw, "I just came back to see if you had any bronze white men."
what do a gynecologist and a pizza boy have in common?
they can smell it, but they cant eat it!
Hmmmmmm not sure any of those lines would work on me.
I'd be slowly backing away from someone who talks like that.
LOL.
Oh yuck anon. LOL.
8:46, I don't know what to say
*shakes head*
20 questions with little johnny
One day in school, the teacher decides to play 20 questions.
So the teacher says "OK kids, I am thinking of something round, and red"
Little Suzy pipes up "I know, it's a tomato".
"No but you're thinking, it's an apple" replies the teacher.
So Little Johnny stands up, places his hand in his pocket and says "I am holding onto something that is round, hard, and has a head on it"
"Go to the principals office" says the teacher.
"No but you're thinking", say Johnny, "It's a quarter"
Touche K, LOL.

June 8, 2008 8:45 PM
Oh no. I am sure I will have ripe bruise tomorrow.
The sucky part is that I can't see as good as I used to up close and I hate it. I am so not used to wearing glasses either.
lol that's nasty 8:46.
I am not a joke person. I can never remember the punch lines.
8:06 LOL, poor Johnny.
...think I much prefer Kapunua's I rest my ass line
Thanks, I'm so glad someone noticed that. ^_^
why doesn't a chicken wear pants?
because his pecker is on his head!
My ass is cool but the british my arse just sounds so much more offensive.
Really? 'Cause when we were little we were allowed to say "arse" because it wasn't vulgar, but "ass" was still vulgar. Funny how it means the same thing, but it all depends on where you're from.
Yeah, strange that.
You guys don't think fanny is so rude but we think it's as rude as anything.
It means round the back to you guys but it means round the front to us.
I know, how funny is that? I wonder how that came about.
One section done. Hopefully I can get these shorts back on my arse soon. :)
When you guys say fanny pack on a TV show, I almost wet myself laughing.
Ooooooooo cover your arse mel. Someone might be looking.
You know you like what you see! Don't deny it.Have undies on anyway.
I am not ashamed of my body. I dont care.
Wow, its weird to type with one hand.
Haha anon. Seriously, I think we need more funny anons like you here, as long as the jokes are not offensive.
Ooooooo blimey mel.
Nope I don't like when jokes become personal attacks on someone. I do not think that is right. I did not post those jokes BTW. Just thought I'd put that out there.
Peace. I am a Lennon fan ya know. ;)
OMG, I just found the new c'mon advert.
This can't be for real
I take credit for what I say and what I write (and my farts too) don't mean to be crude but we all do it. Except my Mom. She said she never farted till she came to this country. That was the funniest joke in the family for years.
So, I said, oh, thanks for saving it all up for us! :)
Guess you had to be there.
LOL mel.
Well, it is bedtime for me so i am gonna wish you all goodnight.
It was funny. Hope I didn't kill the blog. :(
D'nite MissT. Sweet dreams.
So quiet and still
Goodnight Miss T, sweet dreams.
G'nite I meant to say Misst. I told you I can't type with one hand.
Kind of lake the waters in your mind's favorite view or what it's like right before the sky starts crying.
Hey again, guys. :)
Mayo,
*sigh*
How did your day go? Did you do all that you wanted? None of what you wanted? Some of what you wanted or just plain nothing? Either way, I hope you got at least some satisfaction out of Sinday(credit to Ergo), I mean Sunday. SUNday was damn sure right on the mark here. What did I do? Hmmmm, I sweated a lot. Nah, I wasn't doing anything like that. It's so hot here that you sweat when you are sitting still. Uh huh, I kid you not. Gross really, but that's summertime in the south. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Which is completely silly to say because it's not like I have a choice, like I can control the weather. Ooooh, I have never tried. What if I could? It would still be hot. Just sayin...
Mayo, it's almost officialy summertime. Only like what? 2 weeks away or less? Got any big vacation plans? The gas prices got ya in a money crunch? Is there anywhere in the world you'd like to visit? Me? Well, I like being home. I'm a creature of habit and that both scares me and comforts me. I guess it's because I have never really been anywhere that maybe I can't think of somewhere else I would rather be. I am going to take a week off work soon. If I don't do anything, but nothing that will be okay. We all deserve a break, dude. I seriously hope you let yourself have one.
Because....I am slowly, but surely learning that if you don't remember to take care of yourself and by that, I mean your inner self, your soul, your mind, your heart, then who will?
Oh yeah, I know who! It's that person, I keep searching for to do it for me.
I wonder if I will find them while I am on vacation.
Say what? Yeah, I'm a hopeless romantic.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Just can't help it.
Hi mustard. It's pretty quiet in here
Nite, BlogBelieve.
I hope you guys have the sweetest of dreams.
Mustard,
I am predicting that I will ♥ you more tomorrow than I did today.
G'nite, my buddy!
Night, Sdock!
Hey, BC!
I'm lost in old words. This is either really good or really bad. The jury's hanging.
Are you okay mustard? Night night sd10, sweet dreams.
I missed some things. Nice words sdock.
My shorts are sewn and all they are back on my body. All is right with the world again. ;)
I hope I didn't kill the blog again.
Mustard is better! ;)
Hi BC again
I'm glad you got your shorts fixed Mel. Hi again
*pokes blog*
Iz you dead?
Mayo,
Where do we go from here, right where we're at, all of us?
Why weren't we born equipped with detailed maps, magnifying glasses, flashlights, and an 'X marks the spot' location?
Thought about maybe calling in sick on the world tomorrow. Stay in bed.
Keep still enough and you may feel the Earth do its pirouette.
"It's a shame that the days that are glorified are the ones I just wish would fade."
Isn't that the way it always is? Big scale -- victorious wars. Small scale -- wars inside my head. To be okay with being okay. To let it go, to realize, to question, to not.
I hope no one ever pulls the plug. Years and years gone in a flash. Countless nights of shaky hands, bloodshot eyes, nervous laughter, salty cheeks -- forgotten forever and no one will ever look back.
Save for two of us.
Night, dude.
SS,
What are you doing, dude?! Taking dance lessons? Muwhahaha. Made me laugh so hard.
You know how kids always want to have a Rubix cube? And you're the shit if you can get all the blocks back where they should be without pulling the stickers off (I'm so guilty)?
Yeah, I was never the shit. :)
Night!
BlogBelieve,
Have a lovely rest of the night, everybody! Rest up for Monday! I hear it's going to be just as sucky as the last one, and the one before that, and the one before that.
Whistles and roams the castle. Echoes alot in here. Looks at skid marks left on the floor from someone riding through the castle and up the stairs.
I said my clothes are on!
Oh, ouch hello RW.
Hullo, Mel :)
Hullo & goodnight, Mustard :)
so, according to all the anons, gerard way is mad, bad, and dangerous to know?
cool. :)
and it was wonderful to see more poetry by my favorites...whoever you are and whoever your "you" is, i'm reaping the benefits of it. walt whitman is one of those poets that has always made me swoon.
reading him is the equivilant of laying out under the stars until you fall asleep (which i went back outside and did, last night, btw).
thank you, poetry anon. *raises glass in tribute*
and hello there bloglodytes!
Hi, TJ :)
Mustard, feel better. You never know what tomorrow holds. Thats why I get out of bed everyday cause ya just never know. A new challenge. A smile from a stranger. A kind word from or to someone to make them feel good about themselves.
A joke may strike your funny bone. The trees, the birds all sing for you too.
We all have sucky days, but ya never know what tomorrow will hold.
Goodnight. ^_^
Goodnight mustard, sweet dreams. Hi TJ, RW *big squeeze*
Hi, BC :)
*squeeze!*
Hello TJ. Why do those people hate Gerard? Is it just old enemies, someone he slighted? I don't know why. Why did you say cool?
If ya don't wanna get into it, thats fine. I was wondering.
I kinda walked in as it was ending. I was totally confused. Intrigued, but none the less didn't understand what they are getting out of doing that?
helo resurrected wreck, bc, and mel anon -- how's tricks tonight?
(pardon me if i'm very slow tonight...still on the mucked-up machine.)
mel, i said cool because that was a reference to byron i made. gerard = 21st century byron?
cool. :)
I'm good, TJ :) Just lacquering up my talons.
How's your evening going?
I see.
Goodnight RW, BC,Mayo, Johnboy, MaryEllen, etc..
Hubby wants me to watch a movie with him. Have a good Monday everyone.
Have a good night, Mel :)
I see, said the blind man, as he stuck his wooden leg out the window to see if it was raining.
Goodnight mel, sweet dreams
Gerard the next Byron? Maybe to a huge delusional fangirl. Really he's just a douche rock star who fucks over everyone in his life and who thinks he's the king shit even though he's not, he just got lucky enough to get into a band with real musicians.
I see, said the blind man, as he picked up his hammer and saw.
Well, go him in having good taste in friends.
Gotta hand it to the guy, though. Whatever you think of him, he's quite the frontman.
Oh sorry, other anon, exhausted myself with that one blind man thing. My parents used to say it.
"I see," said the blind man, pissing in the wind. "It's all coming back to me now."
Ha!! 11:06, you rule.
Promised my mom a phone call.
Have a good night, guys :)
World's Shortest Fairy Tale
for men
Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl, "Will you marry me?"
The girl said, "NO!"
And the guy lived happily ever after and went fishing, played poker with the guys whenever he wanted, played golf a lot, had a different girl every week, drank beer and farted whenever he wanted to.
The end.
Who's Byron?
Goodnight RW, sweet dreams. What a great, short fairy tale *sarcasm*
She Walks In Beauty by Lord Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
Is broked?
Yeah, that's Byron, BC, he was the shit. Also, educate yourself, please?
Sorry anon, but I don't like poetry.
Lord Byron?
He was a womanizer, poet.
Wrote librettos for operas. Was Bi-sexual. Had orgy parties. IMO was narcissitic.
Go read about him.
I see, says me.
You tire us.
Hand in mine, into your icy blues
And then I'd say to you we could take to the highway
With this trunk of ammunition too
I'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know just how much you mean to me
And after all the things we put each other through and
I would drive on to the end with you
A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full
And I feel like there's nothing left to do
But prove myself to you and we'll keep it running
But this time, I mean it
I'll let you know just how much you mean to me
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of everything
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
Until the end, until this pool of blood
Until this, I mean this, I mean this
Until the end of...
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
But this time, we'll show them
We'll show them all how much we mean
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of every...
All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this
All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this
All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this
All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this
As lead rains, we'll pass on through our phantoms
Forever, forever
Like scarecrows that fuel this flame we're burning
Forever, and ever
Know how much I want to show you you're the only one
Like a bed of roses there's a dozen reasons in this gun
And as we're falling down, and in this pool of blood
And as we're touching hands, and as we're falling down
And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down
I'll see your eyes, and in this pool of blood
I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever
hey sorry I left we had visitors
Oh ha!! Gee is Lord Byron with the reincarnation and such.
Still broked?
Oh double ha, I was writing my comment while you were commenting with the song lyrics. Great minds and all.
Sorry, no. GWay is no Lord Byron.
What's wrong with google, Google?
Hi Ergo
Lord Byron was also accused of incest. Never proven, but rumors exist.
Was a very good writer, but that was about it.
Don't make fun of someone because they don't know who someone is. Don't you "see"? That is just ignorance. Teach, educate others.
Really think all people are stupid..Makes me rethink the term narcissist.

Mel, I thought you left?
I am sorry, I just think that anyone with a high school education should have at least heard of Lord Byron. Excuse me and all.
In our own way, we are all Lord Byrons in some field or another.

I did went to high school and college, but unfortunately, at the time I was in high school, I went to one where there wasn't that many good resources to discover poetry and such.
The school barely had enough money to fund for supplies, and new teachers, and it was too overcrowded.
Some of the high schools here are shitty as hell, and most of the teachers didn't really bother getting interested in helping the students.
We each have things we love to do, to express ourselves with.
Even if we never become master of those things, the very act of doing is what is truly important.

Uf that were true anon, then why do guys WANT to enter a monogamous relationship?
I had more guys than girls buying engagement rings when I worked for a jeweler.
They were all doing it because they loved their women.
Well?

Hiya Amy, how are you?
Could you tell by her diction?
Hurry, look it up now.
There are those that would pshaw at the fact one doesn't know who Kip Thorne is, those would be aghast one doesn't know David Lynch.
You cannot judge others by what they simply have never been exposed to, what they don't have interest in.

Me, I prefer reading and writing. It helped me so much when I had developing speech problems earlier on in my life, and it gave me confidence to overcome it.
...and he grew old with his poker buddies. Still played more golf, fished even more, farted even more. Picked up a new girl every week. Started having erectile dysfunction and needed viagra. Girls started getting bored as he either couldn't get it up, or he had premature ejaculation. Watched life go by as everyone had kids and families of their own.
The end.
And some are simply not readers.
I am certainly not an athlete, I barely know the names of any and my ignorance is of my own free will. It does not interest me.
Just as football is for those excited by the physical, poetry is for those with a literary bent.
Each of our minds is triggered by different forms of beauty.

Even the shitiest of cities and towns have libraries and mobile ones too. Wake up!
You were right. They are quite amusing at times
I did went to high school
Is the best thing.
Your tallons are so worn you couldn't even scratch your own ass
Oooo. That was a good one!
11:39
I moved a couple of years ago, and over here there is a library, and yes, I go there a lot. And I go to the bookstore numerous times as well.
I'm not sure Amy. Some went to bed already, Ergo was here, and well, it's been quiet all day
Okay, I can accept that, but I did went to high school made me laugh, c'mon you're human!
Rather, let us celebrate what each of us does know.
It is fruitless to dwell on what a person doesn't know.
I have never met anyone who didn't have something to teach me.
This is actually fascinating to watch.
-A
BC, I understand you may not appreciate some of the way language was expressed in classic poetry, but do bear in mind that most songwriters and lyricists are poets on a different scale.
Songs are comparable to poetry in motion.
Okay, I apologize.
11:42
Read my answer at 11:44. Aww, are you asking me questions because you might think I'm illiterate?
I have never talked to a person that didn't have some precious gift of knowledge to give me.
I certainly know each and everyone of you do. ^_^
11:46
I understand. Anyone who writes poetry, more power to them. I'm not going to trash someone just because they write it or enjoy it. Everyone has different interests, likes, and dislikes, and I admire that.
Let us make a feast of the information we keep inside our minds.
Let us soar together to new heights of comprehension and understanding about the gift of the world we have been given.
Someone should start and tell a fun or weird fact or some craft they like to do in their spare time.

Facinating indeed. Especially when others try to use another's diction. or what they think is. Trying to fool the masses.
Nice try, but anyone can write like someone else. If you read them enough.

I'm addicted to Wikipedia.
I just decide to look something up to find out what it is, and keep clicking little blue links to everywhere. It's kinda scary, but I went from HATING bees, to loving them. I actually would love to have an Apiary in my backyard, and I'm co-ordinating my garden around what will attract bees the most.

Hey Ergo!
Hallo Teej and Ergo!

That sounds good 11:50
A fact about me:
I was actually considering applying to the FBI at one point in my life. I'm old enough to apply, but there's too many requirements an applicant has to meet.
I still might be interested. I find the criminal justice system to be quite fascinating, do I do have a relative who's a PO so I think it kinda runs in the family.
hello TJ
I am currently trying to google some images to decide upon a colour scheme for our house, we are rebuilding our front veranda and thinking of re cladding the house with corrugated iron, and apparently "walling" is a word!
I learned that sloths in the wild only sleep nine hours a day!
I used to cross stitch all the time.
I know how to edit a movie.
But I want you guys to enlighten me! I am so friggin' ignorant about everything.
So they can clean theyselves
Crochet dishrags.
That's incredible. I always love looking at the different patterns people crochet dishrags into.
I bow to your ability to redecorate your home, Ergo.
Wikipedia is either an angel from above in web form or a demon that eats time. Maybe both.
The FBI would be intense.
any suggestions?
our home is single story but on stumps surrounded by pasture, currently has a "classic cream" roof and I was thinking maybe woodland grey, plantation or blue ridge
11:57 there is nothing wrong with professing ignorance, an open mind leaves all their preconceptions behind and is more open to new things.
Only when they the game is afoot
11:53
Don't presume everyone has sad lives. Mine is actually going pretty well right now.
Hiya Ergo, TJ
I like the blue ridge best, I think.
thanks anon at 12:00, our current veranda has rotted in places so we can't use it
Am I playing this game you speak of correctly?
A sapphire and a ruby are the exact same stone.
A sapphire is a blue ruby, and a ruby is a red sapphire.
Because they were found in two different countries, they ended up with different names, but the composition of the stones are exactly the same.
Also, Sapphires, Topaz, Quartz and Diamonds are the only four stones that come in every color of the rainbow.
-A
LOLZ!
I have a feeling toujours has lots of cool facts she keeps to herself.
"Taste the rainbow."
I agree with the anons saying there is always much to learn, finding out about things you may not have experienced before is always interesting, even if you decide it isn't something you will like long term
and I think I like blue ridge too, then again perhaps a lighter colour would be good, I like ironstone but I think it'd be too dark
Ergo, anything but the salmony color, my house is that and I hate hate hate it. I want blue.
Ergo, Blue Ridge. Plantation might work too.

Amyranth,
I too recently found out that the same stone came in multiple colors.
It makes me wonder how they then can tell it's the same sort of stone.
Way it 'grows', perhaps....

A sapphire and a ruby are the exact same stone.
A sapphire is a blue ruby, and a ruby is a red sapphire.
Because they were found in two different countries, they ended up with different names, but the composition of the stones are exactly the same.
Also, Sapphires, Topaz, Quartz and Diamonds are the only four stones that come in every color of the rainbow.
The stones change color by heat
Wikipedia can be good, but it sucks how editing the information posted there can be super easy that anyone could do it :/
It probably is anon 12:00 but it's really interesting to read up on how it got started, especially on so many crimes they get involved with; white-collar, racketeering, organized crime, fraud, etc etc
I was considering interning there too.
12:05 enlighten me
I thought I was pretty intelligent until a friend of mine tried teaching me the rules of American football.
I was severely humbled that evening.
amy out west of us is a huge area known for it's sapphires, I fossicked a green sapphire which I had cut and set in a ring, they tend not to get red sapphires there but have beautiful garnets (which I have a deep blood red one of)
they also get parti sapphires which are multicoloured, I found some small ones, no good to cut though.
It is so much fun.
Sapphire is also the second hardest stone, and you should never ever store emerald jewellery loose with other stones as it will get scratched, it being one of the softest
Is the game afoot?
On your mark, get ready
GO....

Hello angel. Lovely to see you here and beautiful poem. As always.
I also love meeting the domestically minded.
I am utterly helpless when it comes to keeping a home, making it comfortable, cozy, decorating, etc.
All I know is how to keep the thing clean.
ignorant I absolutely agree I cannot grasp that game at all
Ergo, I like the blue ridge and deep ocean colors
Where's angel?
Amy, I was given the most exquisite set of emerald cut, aquamarine earrings recently.
The color is so clear, soft and transparent.

You cannot judge others by what they simply have never been exposed to, what they don't have interest in.

Yes, that would be the norm. We are not in the normal world here. These people truly believe they are superior to others.
They will never understand reality
A waste of time and energy
oh, are we doing trivia? (i'm hopping back and forth, so excuse my lateness)
hmmm...i know how to make a button like they did in the 13th century.
and i know why we throw pennies into wells, ponds, fountains, etc.
and when i was in jr. high i went on a survivalist kick and made my family eat the dandelion greens i picked from the yard.
i should really apologize to them... :/
I held a breakfast party for eight a few weeks ago and I loved it, I love planning parties, etc.
But I definitely called up a few of my older housewife friends to help me know when to cook what, how to set up the table......
Hello everyone.
A lovely storm went through earlier and now I have no power at home. I'm at the store so I can check my book orders. Thought I would pop in to see what's going on.
You know how to make a button like they did in the 13th century????
*bows down*
*lights candles*
That. Is. So. Awesome!!!!
Elena,
I love when you write those beautiful little vignettes.
Ignorant anon, I would recommend you subscribe to Martha Stewart Living. You learn so much from it, if domestically inclined, or you just love being surrounded by nice things.
Anon, I find Angel's poems to be quite beautiful and descriptive, what can I say.
Ignorant anon, it's much easier to keep the house clean than to decorate it, isn't it? ^_^
Way it 'grows', perhaps....
Exactly that. The structure of the stone itself has one thing that changes like replacing a small part of your DNA, and that's what changes the color.
Black Diamonds have a high carbon factor in them. Red Diamonds have a single hydrogen molecule trapped inside that changes the color.
Ergo, I've got a green sapphire as well! I love it more than my real birthstone.
Anon, some stones can change color by heat, but not all. You can't really heat stones like Opal, but you can heat stones like Sapphire. Heating really only intensifies the present color though, it can't change it completely.
Also, please keep any Opal stones hydrated in water when you don't wear them. Opal is actually a Silicate, and once it dries out, it's beyond repair. One firm tap and that pretty little stone will shatter and be gone forever.

Hallo Elena!
Anon with the earrings, don't make me jealous!
I love aquamarine, but it's so FREAKING expensive.

Don't presume everyone has sad lives. Mine is actually going pretty well right now.

Why do you answer them then? Ignore them and they will go away,hopefully.
Amy, what's your birthstone?
Oh something I found out a couple of weeks ago
the expression "Balls to the wall":
came from dog-fighting pilots in the war as the throttle was a stick with a rubber ball as a hand grip so to go as fast as you can due to danger was to push them as far forwards as possible - hence "Balls to the wall"
I always wondered as I would think anatomically it would be a very awkward position for anything
and thanks for all the suggestions, I'll let you know :)

Angel left. She won't be returning anytime soon.
Hi Elena

Astronauts cannot burp in space.
Amy, I received them as a gift for my birthday. It's my birthstone.
Amyranth,
Thank you so much.
I love opals. Of course, I don't own any because they're so expensive but if I ever do, I now know how to keep them happy and healthy.
That's a good idea. I'll see if my next paycheck has enough for me to afford a subscription to Martha Stewart.
To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.

I find many of the anons quite amusing. And honestly, they don't really bother me. Most of the time.

Maggots will only eat flesh if it is dead. For this reason, they are often used to remove the burnt skin from severe burn patients.
