Wow again! Especially like the amethyst, but the trilobite is also amazing.
You must have some large display cases.

That sounds really cool. I've often thought there must be at least a few songs someplace in my life, just trying to get out. Please let us know how it goes. We'll be looking at Youtube and Spotify for your first song!

So...
I do write songs (well, lyrics). I have parodied several.
In the science-fiction/fantasy community, this is known as "filk" (ask me about the origin sometime...)
For a long time I thought parody lyrics were an inferior type of creation - but on reflection of other parody artists I concluded that this is not the case.
Here is my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFaV1QzE-MOXAuBr2h0A6_V5xKsf0Ql6L
There is a whole universe of good music (some parody, some original) out there which most folks are not aware of.
With this songwriting camp I want to expand my creations to original melodies as well as lyrics.
Walked into a house full of natural gas yesterday. Already had the thirty-year-old furnace repaired once this year (replaced the igniter). Time for a new furnace. The guys were here this morning, and quotes coming later today. Wood stove heating the house for now with unusually warm temps in the Upper Midwest. Not the most fun "blow that dough" but necessary for peace of mind.

Replace it immediately. As a backstory, I worked at a small slaughterhouse in Oklahoma where my parents lived for the first two summers of college, to earn board money (I had a full tuition scholarship.) To make a long, sad story short, the foreman of the butchers went on vacation for two weeks. He was a pipe smoker. When he and his wife returned, he stopped at his doorstep, lit his pipe, opened the door and the house exploded. His wife survived because he was in front of her.
Replace it now. You might want to get a hotel in the meantime.
I would think they have turned off the gas to the house.
My story of gas.
At my cabin we smelled propane gas.
We soaped all the pipes and regulator and propane tanks but couldn't find it.
We kept the windows open.
We could smell it outside the cabin depending upon the wind.
I turned off the gas to the fridge and the smell stopped.
I moved the fridge to the porch as would have to take it to town to get fixed. But I got the propane guy over from a neighbor's house, and he hooked up his tank to it and couldn't find the leak. But we could smell it.
Finally he took out the pipes & burner from the fridge and turned on his gas and used a lighter.
BOOM... big fireball in front of our faces Found the leak.
A type of leak Not reparable, as no parts available

Bought this amazing, clear quartz crystal cluster for $1000, was asking $1800. The photo does not do it justice.

I made two recent BTD purchases: a two-week tour of Switzerland scheduled for this summer - will make a nice change from Florida weather that time of year! - and a BMW 430i. The car is two years old but had just under 6,000 miles on it and it's in pristine condition.
It is indeed beautiful. But are you sure it is quartz? It looks to me like selenite. Can you scratch it with your fingernail?
