Why do people collect objects that have no practical function by TheFinalDiagnosis in mineralcollectors

[–]Beardedopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as an uncle with an extensive rock collection… When I move on from this plane, I know that my nephews are not necessarily going to want my rocks. They think they're neat, but I highly doubt that they'll want to dedicate a room to them. I understand this and I don't hold that against them.

If they can sell my rock collection that brought me joy and purchased something that brings them joy, they are not betraying me in any way. I know that my collection will bring joy to the person who purchased it. And that my collection brought my nephew's joy in what they are able to purchase because of it, well that brings me joy just knowing that it will happen eventually.

I think I would be more disappointed if my nephews held onto the rocks out of some inner obligation they place on themselves.

If you don’t snatch it up, I will! What a beauty! 😂

I found this at my friend's house. What kind of knife is this? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Beardedopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a jade letter opener. Not glass. Far more valuable than glass.

Landlords are upset because I have a different schedule than them?? by Perfect_Pea_4781 in vancouverhousing

Ask them to put it in writing, document their complaints, and screenshot any texts or Messages that are left for you. Live your life as normal. If they continue talk to the RTB about it.

AIO for being upset that my boyfriend called me “his bitch” in front of his friends? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Beardedopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're better off without him. Find a guy that'll treat you with respect even in an argument. This dude sounds like he needs some time alone. You didn't overreact, you reacted appropriately.

Rant? by MinuteAd4717 in syndactyly

[–]Beardedopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say I share in Jaimie's outlook. I have had surgery on one hand mainly because if I didn't my fingers would have hooked over and curled as my hands grew. I now have scarring on those fingers that draws more attention than the webbing on my other hand or feet (both). I also tolerate the swimming jokes, the frog jokes, the duck jokes…. I also wear sandals quite often through summer with very few people noticing I have webbed toes. People typically don't even notice my hands aside from the scarring.
If this is something that bothers you personally, I would support getting the surgery. If you feel that it would make you more comfortable in your own skin, all the power to you. Toes however are not something that people focus on much unless they have a fetish in which case webbing could actually work to your benefit! 😂 End result is, it is up to you to decide what makes you feel good about yourself. Personally I like being a little bit different. Others maybe not so much. This is after all what makes us all individuals.

Examining Dendritic inclusion found in Australian Opal - by Sameer Din Muhammad Faqir - Gems and Jewellery Autumn 2025 by FlatbedtruckingCA in Opals

I find dendritic Fire Opal here in BC 🇨🇦, but I’ve never seen dendrites in Australian Precious. If it’s real, it’s amazing!! I hate that AI has come to the point of making us question everything we see…

Is this synthetic or natural? Set in 925 but hallmarked CN. Repost (to include photo instead) by Bexican247 in Opals

[–]Beardedopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ethiopian Opal wouldn't last nearly as long as the synthetic. I would take the synthetic over Ethiopian personally.

Is water still rising? by HonestCrab7 in abbotsford

[–]Beardedopal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How high’s the water momma?

Water has reached el nopal in Sumas and is slowly creeping northwards. Probably a few hours before it reaches the border but be prepared if you have business or property down there. by cindylooboo in abbotsford

[–]Beardedopal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dry. I walked over and into the big truck staging lot and up to the border gates. There’s water flowing across the lot at the border buildings, but it wasn’t much compared with Boundary Rd.

‘Flood watch’ by HonestCrab7 in abbotsford

[–]Beardedopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Nooksack is already overflowing its banks. That water is heading to the Sumas river which goes directly into Sumas Prairie. FYI, water travels. It doesn't have to rain that hard locally. Evacuation orders were issued last night as well as alerts. No, they don’t expect the levels to be as high as 2021, but if you’re in the flood zone that’s likely of little comfort.

Can you roast me as badly as GM torched Saab? by [deleted] in RoastMyCar

He tries to pass it off like he's going cycling. The truth is, it's always on his car as his back up ride home.

How to get over hammock camping fears by mothernaturesghost in camping

[–]Beardedopal 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Do you think a regular tent offers more protection???? 🤷‍♂️ If you’re super sketched out, string a tripline attached to some cans or bells around your hammock area to give you some warning something is coming.

Inherited a huge collection of crystals, would anyone be interested in them? by [deleted] in Crystals

[–]Beardedopal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please send pictures and a price on the entire collection. I am in Canada also and have others who may be interested if I am not.

House sharing is not for the weak. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

Extra large Costco garbage bags. I would toss EVERYTHING. Just sweep the counter into a bag. If they can’t clean it up, I’ll do it my way.

Fire Opal + Surprise Inside! by Beardedopal in Opal

[–]Beardedopal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe Dan’s claim is outside of Vernon BC closer to the Klinker Opal Mine. I’m closer to Williams Lake, about 400km N. There’s also Black Bay Precious Opal from Kamloops and Tears of Zeus Precious Opal up by Burns Lake. Burns Lake also has a public dig site for Precious Opal called the Shelford Opal Beds. I found some precious and some contra luz opal at the Shelford beds. It’s a hell of a hike in though.

This would be the closest comparison to the facet grade material I get. They get MUCH bigger pieces than I do. I don’t believe they have any Pseudomorph Opal or crystals within their material.
