Darktooth Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Just another uneventful day. Sara again came along to work. Not much to post of that as at the moment I am still making the same product. At my job we make products for infrastructure. Most of it is related to water drainage. Sewer grates, access hatches, trash racks, scuppers and a bunch of other stuff. I don't make the same thing everyday. I make different products based on what customers order. Sometimes they may only order,1 of something. Other times orders could be in the hundreds. But I do have pics of fossils I showed Sara this evening.

Darktooth Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone, just wanted to give an update on Sara's visit. When I am home from work I have been trying to keep Sara busy by letting her roam the house and look at everything. I was hoping to take Sara to Deep Springs Road today for a fossil hunt. I took my son Dylan to open house at Morrisville College which is only about 10 minutes away. But by the time we were done neither my wife nor Dylan were in the mood to go. So instead we came home and roamed the house. Here is Sara looking at my wife's sharktooth collection. Edited April 24, 2022 by Darktooth 5 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Darktooth Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Sara seemed a bit freaked out at this picture. My oldest Son, David, did this caricature of me, and gave me it as a Father's Day gift a few years ago. I love it! I did use this as my avatar for awhile. Doren told me it freaked him out as well.

Darktooth Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) I would like to apologize for going MIA, the past few days. Things got a bit hectic around here and I have been working overtime the past few days. Sara has been fine and my family has enjoyed hosting her for almost two weeks now. Sadly, Sara's time here will be coming to an end. If I remember correctly the next member to welcome Sara is @minnbuckeye. So Mike if you could send me your address I will send Sara on her way when I get a moment. Edited April 28, 2022 by Darktooth 1 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Caverat Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Based on the original list I received, some have been skipped. Did they drop out? I agree that Darktooth would send to minnbuckeye next.... Is there a place where the sequence listing is updated? And many thanks to Darktooth for a great hosting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, some people have dropped out due to the timing of Sara's visit ending up being inconvenient for them. The updated list can be found by clicking the link at the bottom of Doren's first post on this thread. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I am still waiting to here from @minnbuckeye for his address. In the meantime there are a few things that I would like to say. The anniversary of Doren's passing was just a few days ago. I am very glad to be a part of his game. This has been alot of fun for me. Going further there is something I need to discuss. When Doren first started this the idea was to send Sara to as many places as possible with a journal and a few small fossils. Each recipient takes one and replaces one. When I first got Sara I was contacted by another member and it was discussed that the size and weight of the package was getting too much compared to how it started out. This is due to the generous nature of our members. It seems nobody can leave just one small fossil. So in here are many labels with multiple fossils which say "count as one". It was decided that due to the costs of postage, especially for international this needs to be thinned out. So please folks, from here on out, only add ONE SMALL FOSSIL. I was tasked with sending out a few fossils to keep the game going and the rest will be put up for auction to support the forum. We also have to be mindful of the size and weight of the fossils that you include as there are some heavier pieces. I hope this decision does not upset or offend anyone. I have already picked what will be sent out and what will be auctioned. I will try and get the auction items ready as soon as I possibly can. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

digit Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Reasonable idea to trim the package--needs be done to continue going forward. Difficult decisions but we trust that this will make the trip continue most expeditiously. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see if I can get in touch with Doren's family and ask if they would like them or would rather donate to a local school.

I expect that Doren's family had quite enough fossils to contend with after his passing, including lots from his many friends from around the world. Would they really want any more? Would they know which local school would be most deserving and appreciative of this? I think he was only very close to his sister. He would certainly like them to go to someone who would appreciate them and care for them,. What do others think? I for one would be happier knowing these fossils had gone to a loving home.

I understand what you are saying Adam but I think I could atleast ask the family. If they don't want them then an auction could be set up. One way or the other they will wind up with someone who wants them. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
