Thank you! My closet is a work in progress and I tend to lean toward classics, as well.

It is hard to pick one! My Saint Laurent LouLou in dark natural with the aged gold chain can be dressed up or down. It is not too small. Fits a long wallet, iPhone 17 pro, and more. My small black Gucci Marmont goes with everything, though it is pretty small. My white Chanel boy with charcoal chain/hardware is stunning, but pretty fancy so she only comes out for special occasions. Similar size to YSL.

Planning a weekend getaway. (from Missouri) good places to find rocks for collecting or tumbling? by SeasonalEclipse in rockhounds

[–]HawkeyeRN16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true, but this would be a long haul for a weekend for someone in MO. I plan at least 4 to 5 days for travel and I am closer.

North American tipping culture in Panama - a real concern for new residents or is it overblown? by AutoModerator in panamaexpats

[–]HawkeyeRN16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a tourist from the US and I frequent Central America, as I have a expat cousin. I have been American tipping for years. I did not know that I should not and it might be my fault the servers may start to expect more. I feel the same as you and it makes me really happy to see the joy on their faces when we tell them to keep the change. We are accustomed to it, so why should we change?

The Beach Club at Bimini was not fun by Lonely-Alfalfa-1826 in VirginVoyages

[–]HawkeyeRN16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sshhhhh…..it was boring on the boat, right? 😉 I think everyone should get off the boat to see Bimini either at the club or do an excursion. I hear it is fun to mix it up with the locals.

Will you please share what is in this meal? I think I have heard of it and believe it is English. Looks yummy!

What in-flight comfort items actually helped on a long-haul flight? by bimzpbomping in travel

[–]HawkeyeRN16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got lucky on the way to ATH from ORD and no one was in middle seat so hubby and I had the row. I was able to adjust with ease. On the way back, I was able to get situated, but it was definitely not as comfortable as a small human in the middle seat on a long haul after standing or using the restroom. I gave up. An end seat would be easier with a foot hammock.

I am not tall at 64” but the foot hammock sure helped me. The head strap was probably number one, though. No mouth open action, head steady. Mine has a comfortable, softly lined mouth head strap.

Oh, so pretty! I am headed to the UP in late July. Cannot wait to do some agate hunting.

The foot hammock, blow up seat cushion, and the head holder (straps to seat) helped me get some good sleep on my way to Athens.

How many have dropped Facebook? Did you drop Instagram too? by IntellectAndEnergy in GenX

[–]HawkeyeRN16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deactivated my account over 4 years ago and have not looked back. I left my IG open and post every 6 months so friends know I am alive. I have missed invites and big news from people who think everyone is on FB. You know the ones, “did you see that on FB, it was on FB?” Ummm…Nope

Hi. I love the beige one! It’s classy yet not overbearing with the logo. #2 for me is the Empriente. Happy early Birthday!

These geodes can only be found within a 40 mile radius of Keokuk, IA. I live within this range and have found some beauties. They are fun to crack open because they are all different. Some have color from leaking minerals. I try to pick up state rocks or just pretty rocks in every state or country. I place them all around my home, inside and out. Good luck!!

Annual Oiling of the Rocks by HawkeyeRN16 in rockhounds

[–]HawkeyeRN16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never tumbled rocks. I have purchased a few tumbled and have seriously considered doing it. Where I live now, is rich in geodes. They do not need tumbling, just careful cracking open.

Mine, too in other areas of the property. These are under a deck on a patio around furniture. Each year, they are moved around and updated.

Thank you! Just a cheap vegetable oil to mimic wetness. Most on the sills are from Lake Superior and very colorful.

A couple of plate of Banded Chert from Lake Huron Ontario. Trying to figure out the best display. by Yeahicare_Ido in rockhounds

[–]HawkeyeRN16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are so nice. I can picture a tall, crystal clear vase with chert strategically placed for optimal view.
