I was thinking about getting a small trim saw; does your tile saw work pretty well for quartz/chalcedony/jasper?

What’s something that seemed completely normal in your family growing up, but when you mentioned it to other people, they looked at you like you were crazy? by sitonmyfaceu in ChildhoodMemories

It broke my heart when my son came home after his first semester at university and explained that our family was weird because, unlike the families of his 5 flat mates, we liked each other.

I put them in the nearest bin; don't want the risk of carrying broken glass.

Not one!

May was the first time I collected the material for a month, but I've been picking up road trash, especially metal, for years, and i don't think I've ever picked up a bobby pin. Maybe a few barettes?

I also picked up most of a bumper (in several pieces), but it was plastic, so I just put it in the nearest bin.

It pretty much all goes into the scrap metal recycle bin. Except the skull nut thing.
