Yes.  It just sort of collects around me like junk around a black hole.

I suppose as emergency food.  I usually keep some of those protein bars 
around for the purpose.

Can he soak the bad one at least, sometimes?  Or would that take more

Oh well.  The minis came later; I'm talking Kennedy era stuff.  Us plus-
sized types had a tough time finding nice clothes back when, and we still 
tend to wear it out rather than keep looking for something new that's not
on 
the rack.  I did almost luck into a dress today in a charity store, but it 
was cut "down to there" and for a miracle the sleeves were too long.  I
thin 
it was made for someone six feet tall. If it had fit better I might have 
tried messing with that crazy modal knit or whatever it was, but no such 
luck.

-> I think it was a lady's head but yes, a red/orange background.

That's either a shell cameo or a simulant.  No way to be sure without
seeing 
it.

-> 
-> OK, what is eilat stone? One piece taken was a 6 armed silver menorah

-> That's where I picked up an Israeli cook book too. (G)

Dark green and black, chrysocolla family. Also called Solomon's Stone. 
It's 
mined out in Israel although there are deposits of similar stone elsewhere.  
Are you sure, btw, that it was a six-armed menorah and not seven? Seven is 
the standard for a Temple lamp. A Hanukkah candle holder has nine - eight 
and the "helper". The Widow's Mite pieces and Roman Glass jewelry are both 
available in the US if you know where to look, but I've never seen a
double-
sided pendant.  Not that I've looked.  Israeli candy and snack food yes, 
Roman glass pendants with coins on the back not so much.
