I was dropping them into the pocket of his shorts, never realizing that those tiny colorful things were ALIVE and were dying and starting to smell in his pants! It was pretty funny but the smell from 2 handfuls of tiny shells was bad enough. I'm so glad you can't SMELL those pictures!!!BetteJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650981249204116251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-43954051395654471542008-02-17T15:49:00.000-05:002008-02-17T15:49:00.000-05:00"Dad" won't be able to get any info on the terribl..."Dad" won't be able to get any info on the terrible weather until after the 18th due to the 2 wk shutdown with Chinese New Year. However, he did get in touch with his Yiwu crew only because they are indoors due to the unusual freezing cold weather. The bad weather will likely impact the spring harvest and possibly impact the industry in the next five years.The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-21141460634662210472008-02-17T15:33:00.000-05:002008-02-17T15:33:00.000-05:00Really well written - has "Dad" given any info on ...Really well written - has "Dad" given any info on the storms and if the pearl farms are coming back? <BR/><BR/>Robyn Hawk<BR/>Tucson Gem Show - Live <BR/>http://tucsongemshow.blogspot.com/AFlyOnTheWallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069069753221042520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-43539423382506010082008-02-17T08:10:00.000-05:002008-02-17T08:10:00.000-05:00It's comments like yours that keep me going!
