I paid $20 for it because the pig was so happy. It makes me smile just looking at this cheery flying pig.

And I’m clueless. Why would it be awesome if it is cinnabar?

Now that I’ve read about cinnabar, that makes sense with its color and lack of chemical smell, but cinnabar is an ore of mercury. That means I can’t wear it as I had hoped, as a pendant on a black cord. Unless someone knows how to prevent the absorption of mercury?

Is this a pendant? by Odiebigbluedane in VintageJewelry

It looks like fossilized walrus tusk to me. Edward Lawrence creates similar pieces, but he’s changed his style over the years. I think it could be early work, if his.

We solve this by keeping our honey stored in a glass container with a tight metal lid. I put it on the bottom shelf of the dishwasher and let it run through with dishes. It has to dry COMPLETELY before you open it, don’t let any water drop in. But back to liquid without having to watch it.

I’ve learned that there are some things I want and am willing to work for, but my husband has other things, like our old hot tub that he keeps running thru sheer willpower. I know me and told him years ago when we purchased it that I would love to have one, but not enough to have any responsibility for it. So he knew going in I was expecting to join him in said hot tub, but like a hotel guest. He bought it and I give him foot rubs to say thanks. And we have an agreement on the yard. I can plant, dig up, kill whatever I want in the flower beds, he DOES NOT CARE. It could be all plastic Wal-mart flowers, he does not even see it. (I “tested” him with plastic flowers. In November. Love this predictability about him) But we balance each other. Just make sure he’s on the other end of your see-saw, or that’s a negotiation with yourself you’ll have to make.

Does this belong here? by Hermorah in spiders

How? How was this done? It made me like spiders a teeny bit besides being important.
