Was just going to lurk.

Blew that didn't I!
Too many pretties and wonderful talent across the boards my fingers took control.
All complaints can be directed to Mick, he sent me the link. heheh.
Recognise some friendly faces and many more to get to know.
What am I into? Anything gorgeous.
What do I do? For now just drool.
What have I done? Hmm note to self...public forum... I'll go with jewellery, cabs and tested the water on faceting.
Where am I heading? Good question..yep.. very good question   Will see what the year brings.
Too much happening on the private side so if it's ok with you guys I'll just chime in when I can.
Just thought I'd better clear up the random poster commentary. LOL. still haven't sorted profile so I'll get onto it.

A wealth of info here will take a while to get through so that should keep me pretty quiet ;)
So I'll say up front, cheers to all that have contributed time, knowledge and PICS

Welcome aboard

Thank you both.
Talk about a kid in a candy store with ants in the pants. Jumping all over the place, so many wonderful threads.

[Buck75]

Have fun catching up on the old threads.  I was gone from the forum for almost two years, and I'm still not caught up on reading the back threads since coming back.

Good to see you on this forum Mehoose, this forum is actually responsible for getting me back into lapidary after a 20 year break. Serious eye candy here, a warning though, it may insipre you to spend many more hours grinding away more pretty stones.

Lurk!
What, in the shadows, or the sand dunes!
I couldn't imagine it.
But I've always wondered about the avatar and name and how they came about.

Welcome to the group.

[mehoose]

Thanks Mark, asianfire and southerly. Yep, does feel good being here.

LOL Pete, was a bit of a stretch thinking I could just lurk eh.
mehoose and av?
Use a Scottish accent..my house and I figured if the kids ever went back into gems they could always fit under the same banner if they wished with no name change.
Now the av, that came about by a new member accidentally calling me moohause and I figured I've always loved cows, loved their lick so why not? Might mention I love the smell too, maybe it's just as well we don't have smellavision ;)
So that's it in a nutshell, nothing earth shattering just one of those things.

Luv it!
