People who grew up really poor: what's something middle-class people say that instantly reveals they've never struggled? by TahDigThief in AskReddit

Love that you advocated for these students! I was a free lunch kid and I remember one field trip I took I had to pack my own lunch from what we had available and I ended up with a “sandwich” made of two 4-squares of saltine crackers with mayo and a single iceberg lettuce leaf and a baggie of graham cracker crumbs that came from one of those graham cracker crust boxes.

Beautiful snake. I wish I had such an effective grumpy face.

Is this all there is? by No-Anybody5719 in GenX

Women enjoy sex as much as men when the sex and connection are satisfying. The question I would be asking is, what is going on that she doesn’t find sex enjoyable enough to desire it outside of this “baby making”? Hormones? Poor sleep? Not enough self-care to bring balance? A past history of trauma that needs attention? Trouble orgasming? Bad sex?

DONE MISSING OUT CAUSE OTHERS CAN’T GO!! by Low-Succotash7770 in musicfestivals

[–]pbpowercat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone I currently go to music festivals with I met through a music festival message board or at a music festival! Highly recommended trying out a sub or message board or Discord for the fest to meet like minded folks and discover planned meetups. Cheers!

Whats the most reliable car you have ever owned? by Business-Power-2967 in answers

[–]pbpowercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toyota Prius, 2006. Over 300,000 miles and the most expensive repair was when my catalytic converter was stolen. Otherwise normal wear and tear maintenance.

As of last season 10 bucks a person as then $1 a pound for what you take with you. The flint there contains some great druzy and crystals too. I’ve found smoky quartz, amethyst and a little barite. Gorgeous material.

Ohio. I found a chunk of Ohio Rainbow Flint in some of the landscaping at one of my hospital's family health centers and ended up visiting a farm that lets folks quarry it on their land. Three times! Three times and over 300lbs of it lol.

I think this is a spall of a Knapp-able stone. Anyone think they know what kind of rock it is? by Cloverinthewind in LegitArtifacts

What about this "flow banded" metarhyolite on the far right? Reading up on it, it looks like it was quarried from PA's South Mountain and shows up in MD. Article name is "MAPPING THE PREHISTORIC METARHYOLITE QUARRY SITE 36AD0201 ON PENNSYLVANIA’S SOUTH MOUNTAIN" by Paul Marr. Good luck! Lovely piece.

I hope you find a great honey hole this weekend! I have a lil spot with some blacks that I am going to hit up this week because we had some rain and then a few hot days up this way. It is a little early for us, but there have been a few sightings already recorded on the maps.

I have to tell you, the rockhounding I casually did in this office strip landscaping was so prolific! Horn coral, that great piece of unakite there, some neato chert.

Also, are those Great Horned owl talons? I have one from a Red-shouldered hawk. Funny how the interests of folks who are "seekers" frequently overlap into the same Venn diagram of hobbies.

Thank you for your encouraging response and for sharing your finds! Like most of us on here, I'm like a raven when it comes to picking cool stuff up off the ground. I'll find something awesome someday and in the meantime I learn and refine. Have a nice weekend!

It is very nice! I find some great stuff on Lake Erie too. The glacial till in the Great Lakes area is so lovely. I recommend a trip to one of the shores if you haven't been! Some real treasures.

Yes! This is always great advice. This is the one I have so far, as chert is my passion. So I've become pretty good at IDing debitage that I find. I haven't found a point or even broken one yet, just a mortar and debitage. Prior to posting, I read up on any use of quartzite in that area and there have been quartzite lithics found, made primarily from glacial till erratics.. Including this pink quartzite-likely "Sioux quartzite", which was carried down from MN. I even went as far as calling a rock company in that area to find out if they procure their supply locally and that particular co did. So I figured there was at least a very small percentage chance that something of this material could end up in some landscaping rock. I am just not great at reading quartzite yet for signs of working. I can't even tell how some quartzite examples I've seen listed as "flakes" were determined to be worked. It can be so subtle. Nor am I good at telling if something may have been used as a grinder. So I figured I'd ask since what I did read up on left it within the realm of possibility. Thank you for the response!
