No problemo  I just had to comment >:D ;D   I was hoping someone with a saw would pipe in and offer to slab it for a share.I'd hate to lose any of it if it can be avoided. I have been thinking for a long time I wanted to try some coral and how I was going to go about gettin' some. Waa Laa   salvation army.  (never underestimate that place)
 Take care  '  Frank

     Frank, pay no attention to Mullet, he's just spouting some of that mining stuff.  Just remember the Wright Brothers, everyone told them man couldn't fly!  ;) Ok, I will give you three dollars for that alien communication stone.  Those are not limestone veins, they are alien radio waves, caught on the screen of an ancient transceiver! ;D

                                        P.S. Did you ask where it came from?  Hey, put some tinfoil in the shape of a pyramid on your head, and sit in the lotus position, and talk to the stone, and see what happens......earth calling Venus, earth calling Venus, do you copy? ;D

Stickbender, you must be in contact with the same space aliens with  which I communicate.  I've found that I  get much better reception if I stop taking my Haldol and Thorazine.  These drugs somehow block my reception of alien radio waves, even if I'm wearing my triangular aluminum foil transcranial reception gear.  Give it a try, you'll see what I mean.

     Xin, try massaging the little crystal at the base of your neck.  Works for me. ;D

You, like myself, must have undergone an alien abduction if you have a crystal implanted at the base of your neck.  Those implanted crystals are great for both sending and receiving interstellar messages.  Even the power of the alien crystals is diminished by those fun killing antipsychotic medications.  Even by stroking the crystal I can hardly get a message out and can't get any messages in when I've got those pills in me.  How are we ever going to establish an interstellar federation without communication?

     Xin, communication is always a key ingredient.  Perhaps, some coat hangers...... ;D  Or some Nar Can......That will clear the chemical interference. ;)
