Just realize you need to make a new one of these every year to house your Secret Santa offerings. You can treat them as shrines and kneel before them every day to admire the wonders. Your paint job is spectacular, the display looks great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 David in Japan, I wonder if you will have another package from Alberta waiting for you upon your return from France. We will want pictures of course! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max-fossils Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I believe that a few of the received packages haven't been shown yet... I know that the person that received mine still hasn't posted anything about it! Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

caldigger Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Max, that seems to happen every year. There are always people that just get lazy about posting. You just have to take it in stride and let it go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about, entertaining your fellow members with/during a fossil hunt?

caldigger Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Well Adam, with as much as we hear you mention anything about your wife, we're beginning to think you're actually married to Tidgy! (That would make for an interesting ceremony) Just get the little lady to join the Forum, then you can spend time with your wife and entertain a member at the same time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 If there were fossil shoes, handbags and dresses she'd sign up like a shot. As it is I've been tying to teach her the periods of the Palaeozoic for 20 years and so far she's got as far as the Cambrian. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Frankly, it is very annoying. wifey finds this much more interesting, though. Perhaps if I started a thread here about FOSSIL accessories.................. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

It's so annoying to see their leather articles pop up every time... Especially when you are in a city you don't know and try to find a fossil store, it will always give you these FOSSIL shops instead... I wanna look at old stuff, not new stuff! 1 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

caldigger Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 That's why I include the "s" to make it FOSSILS. That tends to clear the search (for the most part at least) of that annoying brand name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I do that too, but I noticed that you sometimes lose relevant results too unfortunately (say something with a picture is labeled "fossil Megalodon tooth", and the word fossils is not present anywhere on that part of the website, that result will very likely be lost). Apparently there is also a music band called Fossils? Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Wrangellian Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Soon there will be a brand called Megalodon, and Trilobite, etc... and then we'll really be $^#%&'d. At least ebay has everything in categories, so long as people list things in the right category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
