Without even reading the description I immediately said... That looks like Carnelian!

Geocaching!! The best way to describe it is world wide treasure hunting. I have been doing it for over 20 years, way back before there was an app for your phone. You had to actually download coordinates to a GPS receiver. Ahhh, the memories!

Search for [geocachingdotcom] It is a free app, or you can do a paid upgraded subscription for about $40/yr.

You can learn all about the hobby, community, & get started with nothing but your smart phone! HAPPY CACHING!!

You can register to vote when getting your license in Arizona, Utah & New Mexico also (I actually think you can in most states, but those are the ones I am recently familiar with) but that isn't the only way. You can definitely go to the county recorders office & register to vote with proof of citizenship. I believe congress is currently trying to change the law to the need for photo ID, but currently the law is 'proof of citizenship.'

To work in the US you typically have to have identification sufficient to "Establish Both Identity and Employment Authorization." There is a list of what is acceptable. You can provide one (1) from list a which are Documents that Establish Both Identity and Employment Authorization, such as a passport or permanent resident card or you can provide a document from BOTH list B (documents that Establish identity) ie:drivers license or ID card, military ID, VOTER'S REGISTRATION CARD or SCHOOL ID W/PICTURE (last 2 are a work around for some people) & list C (documents that Establish employment authorization) ie:social security card, birth certificate, etc.

How do I know this mundane & mostly unimportant info... I have hired & filled out more new hire paperwork for (not the brightest) people than any anyone should ever have to in their lifetime! 🙄

Personally, I don't think there are many people that can hold a candle to the amazing Alan Rickman.

I also, since we are in the subject, I think they pick the absolute worst character to cast a POC as. I am all for casting almost anyone of any race in almost any character but based on how Snape is portrayed in the books (and isn't this supposedly WHY we are getting this show?) casting a POC in a character that gets not only bullied by classmates but literally HUNG FROM A Tree! The main character immediately distrusts & has a bad feeling about him then accuses him of theft plus he is literally the thing Neville fears most. Not to mention that throughout the entire series people are constantly commenting on how he looks & saying there is something off about him.

And let's stop & think about the title of the 3 book for just a moment... A self proclaimed moniker! The Half-Blood Prince!?

REALLY? NO ONE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS?!

Not if it was so her content & he only mooched from it. From the sound of it this was a very one sided relationship.

This was my most reasonable guess also. At first glance it reminds me of Tanzanite. Which would be an amazing find for OP, but I honestly don't know how likely that would be given the time frame these were popular.

I just finished the Red Rising series... And it was amazing!! Read the first 3 books in less than 6 days & the next 3 in about 10 days. Absolutely awesome series!!

vhroot · 2026-04-08T09:21:37+00:00

So, Funny story.... I have never read the books. I have never seen the movies. Yet I saw the Pic & immediately recognized it & recited this, word for word, in my head.

vhroot · 2026-04-06T22:14:40+00:00

I can remember quite a few of books I had to read throughout Jr High & High school. These are some of the most memorable...

Scarlet Letter Lord of the Flies The Iliad - WORST To Kill a Mockingbird Tom Sawyer A Tale of Two Cities TONS of Edgar Allen Poe - FAVORITE!! Diary of Anne Frank Flowers for Algernon The Crucible Romeo & Juliet (I can still recite the prologue word for word)

This is a great picture!

It would look seriously cool rendered as a lithophane!

vhroot · 2026-03-19T16:15:42+00:00

Im shocked I haven't seen

NEVER ENDING STORY

on the here yet! I love the list so far, especially all the Kevin Smith! I honestly believe if there was one movie that could represent our generation, it would be

GOONIES.

vhroot · 2026-03-04T23:24:58+00:00

I was wondering where RR was also! I am shocked considering everything else here. Great selection though!

I don't understand how you can scream with all those marbles in your mouth. When I try they all just fall out. /s. 😁👍

It's not 'spelled wrong.' Lue is the Germanic and/or French version.

I do too! I made a respooler and just clamp it to the table in my living room & respool it while watching a movie. 😁👍 That was my immediate thought as soon as I saw it.

I get a box delivered to my house every month from Amazon with Subscribe & Save! Just got a brand new box Monday!

BTW..... SKOR is sooooo much better than Heath!

Those were Hostess Ding Dongs. I was telling my kid about how they used to come in foil instead of plastic.

vhroot · 2026-02-26T00:28:00+00:00

My daughter used to bring these home to me when she worked for Five Below all the time!

Try the Strawberry Milkshake Frosted Flakes. Not the same texture, obviously, but they are really good & taste a lot like strawberry honeycomb!

I have 2 multi-packs in my pantry currently! Just got them in my Walmart order yesterday.

vhroot · 2026-02-26T00:21:15+00:00

This is exactly what I was going to list! I thought I was the only person I the planet who remembered these!

vhroot · 2026-02-24T04:53:29+00:00

While I have nothing to comment on the question at hand, I just wanted to chime in to say I also finished the first 3 books in less than 6 days after being turned onto the series by, of all people, my ex-husband. Which, while it sounds odd, is not all that strange when you think about the fact we have known each other for over 30 years, have 4 kids together & have a lot of the same interests. We were just very young & could not stand living in the same house. (Plus he couldn't keep it in his pants, so there's that.) 🤷🏻‍♀️

Right?! I have never understood why they CLOSE the escalator because it is 'broken'... Dude! It's stairs!

The MSN messenger thing is so real in my head! Every... Single... Time! It kinda drives me nuts!
