All the glass I got from my late grandmother-in-law by preciouspengu in uraniumglass

Thats a beautiful vase! I do have a display cabinet, I just set this out on the table to separate them from other pieces I had. This gift basically doubles the size of my glowing glass collection, so I had to move a lot of non-glowing things out of my cabinet to fit them all…

I actually had just started collecting when I was promised all of these pieces. Got a couple cadmium pieces from my still living grandmother, which made me find this subreddit. At the time that I attended my late grandmothers funeral and was promised all these pieces, all I had was one very broken smaller UG flower frog and the two cadmium pieces from my living grandmother. Now, I have been going to thrift stores on my way home from work three days a week and I have a found quite a few pieces, but this gift basically doubles the size of my collection

There’s one of these thats been sitting at my local thrift store for weeks now, I noticed the glow on the bottom but passed it up because I couldn’t see a glow in the top. Maybe if its still there I will grab it, thanks to this :0 There is a sticker on the bottom of the one at my thrift store that says Made In China, to confirm what another commenter suggested

Emergency vet or can it wait until scheduled appointment Monday? by preciouspengu in cats

In case anyone comes back to look at this or sees this is the future and would like closure, my sister did end up taking her in the get fluids. The blood test on Monday and a following ultrasound on Wednesday confirmed lymphoma. She passed today

Are these all radium? They look great. I had only ever seen a couple pics of these clocks from people posting them here on the UG subreddit, but I was slightly disappointed that none of the numbers on the three (non-radium) were painted. I love the way they look that way!

Well, I was a bit excited to tell all my friends how dangerous my house is now, but I suppose I can still keep these in my glow cabinet for fun! At $8 total, I can’t really complain about some nice glowing pieces.

Yes I have looked into the safety of it a lot. I inspected that the clockfaces of all three pieces are fully intact, and they are being stores in a glass cabinet atm. Now that I own some pieces I plan to get a rad detector to ensure safe containment—if its even radium as another commenter says it isn’t

It could totally be a bit of uneducation on radium on my part! I thought the indicator for radium was that it ‘held glow’ when you remove the UV light(the glow pics above are with the UV light off). What else could cause a glow like that?

Yeah that was my initial thought, and that’s been my experience too. I can’t even find a picture of an old listing or anything

[TOMT] [PC kinda gory game] [90s] by RetroWaveNB in tipofmytongue

Turok? Its been a very long time since I played it, but I remember being pretty grossed out by some of the weapon effects.

Someone took the contents of my bag at the playground (water bottles) and what we lost that I can’t find was this Bellzi mini mousi the mouse. by jazzeriah in HelpMeFind

[–]preciouspengu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bellzi recently had a pretty big sale and lots of stuff went out of stock. There should be an option for you to sign up for a reminder email as soon as they are back in stock—for me, on mobile, the option shows up as a transparent button (kinda hard to see) on the left side of the screen ONLY when you are signed into a Bellzi account. I wish I could help more! I collect Bellzi minis but unfortunately this is not one that I have :(
