Missourian Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 - When you travel you leave room in your suitcase in case there are fossils you will need to bring back. I figured I'd just mail them back..... until I saw Fed-Ex Guy chuck that monitor over the fence..... Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdevey Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 You spot a newly started forest fire on your way home from work, so you stop to help people protect there homes. And happen to have a shovel in the trunk of your Honda,[who doesn't? ] ..you make it to the back of the house, to toss dirt on the fire and make a fire line, getting wet from the helicopters dropping buckets of water. And all your thinking is, I didn't expect this type of geology, at this height above the river. All the wile you don't here a state trooper, who has been yelling at you, to get out of there. Not as dangers as sounds, but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xonenine Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 your friends back away, apprehensive looks in their eyes when you try to hand them a rock or fossil - you realize staying in a relationship means always having someone who will HAVE to look...

Missourian Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 When people comment on how obsessed you are with the rock thing, just ask them why they are so obsessed with fishing, golf, hunting, or whatever it is they do. Then ask them to explain how that is different from hunting for fossils. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kehbe Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 The inlaws are coming over for dinner at 5:30 and you come in at 6 o'clock with mud on your collar!

Wrangellian Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 That last one doesn't sound so obsessive - I think lots of people would rather hunt fossils that visit with the inlaws!

Roz Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The first aisle you hit at the grocery is the container aisle to see if anything is 'fossil worthy'.. FYI, they have those containers now with the dial at the top to let a little air in.. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
