  • System Maintenance (Completed) - old issue from Aug.2 resurfaced
    D Daniel
    Off Key - General Discussion

    I'll have to consider the pay issue.

    But come meet some 5 yrs old kids in FL home schooled by fundamentalist parents (I'm being rhetorical, to avoid any misunderstanding).

    The issue seems to be the state curriculum, and a lack of requirement evaluation, and kids who progress at at a slow pace.

    Btw,

    I've been asked to log in about 7 times in an hour.

    This is the post I tried to make in reply to Ax.

    I have some minor edits but I'll leave it. My phone won't work right with the site and I don't know when it will right itself.

    This lady is amazing.

    Anyway, I love Peridot. Green is my favorite color.
    Olivine is the same mineral:

    "Definition: Olivine is a common rock-forming mineral group (magnesium-iron silicates), while peridot is the clear, transparent, and gem-grade variety fit for jewelry. [1] (https://ajluxe.com/blogs/jewelry-guide/olivine-vs-peridot)Appearance: Most olivine is opaque, fractured, or a dull, dark green found in rocks. Peridot features a bright, transparent yellow-green hue. [1] (https://www.gia.edu/peridot)"

    Hawai'i Island has a beach with olivine in place of sand. It's beautiful.

    Papakōlea Beach

    PSA, The hike is 2 mile by foot, or you can rent a Jeep, and the rock climbing to get down to the beach itself is difficult, so you shouldn't attempt it if you have any bone, muscle, neurological, or similar limiting health conditions. Also, it is considered a sacred spot and nakedness is strictly prohibited.

    So, love peridot and honorable mention to the Victorian jewels. I think Victorian's thought it they way they thought about Siberian amethyst.

    Spinel.

    I didn't know this was an August birthstone.

    Red spinel is on my list of 5 favortite gems.

    Please post pictures.

    I just researched the Sagrada Família in some detail a few weeks ago.

    Fascinating.

    Dear citizens, Use the money to go to the dentist.

    Or start stocking your pantry for the apocalypse.

    Or donate your money to charity.

    Or, pile $500 cash in the middle of the street, light it on the fire, and roast marshmallows.

    Who "minted" this? The Donald and China? The Treasury?

    It does no justice to "coins".

    Of course the probably it would have is 0.

    Lot's of internet/ phone issues with my devices lately.

    Getting a land line account with 2 corded phones.

    Tired of trying to talk on my cellphone and hanging up on the person because my screen came in brief contact with the side of my head.

    Now I know it's "biggest".

    My guess is it will probably be demolished, at least if "city planners" need some kind of road or development.

    I'm going on a massive Bette Davis binge speaking of black and white.

    I might even follow the films in chronological order.

    With many exceptions made I'm sure.

    I'm not 20.

    Lol.

    I don't have one. I don't like horror movies. Mysteries are good.

    I've seen The Birds. No impression on me, although yesterday I did walk into plate glass and gently hit my head like a bird. 🐦 Gave me a good laugh.

    I don't need to see Psycho twice.

    BTW, compare this to The Elms, looks kind of the same (?) but isn't...

    Also French.

    It has a different look (it's too much for me not to get distracted looking at exterior.

    Rosecliff had a different vibe. Minimalist. Gleaming white marble but a dark, solemn interior.

    This is my favorite Newport mansion (although the oldest houses intrigue me and I want to know more).

    This is by Stanford White.

    The reason I like it is the rear facade.

    I'll link a picture.

    It's French.

    Surprised I like/ love it, but I do...
