<div class="IPBDescription">Muchos Stuff bought and to be bought!</div> Incase You've missed me for the past 3 weeks for some reason, I was on holiday, to America, where I hope to end up moving to. Anyway, I spent 6 days in Minnesota, 6 days in Kalamazoo Michigan with one of my friends, and then 10 days back in Minnesota.
It was one of the best holidays I've ever had, pictures of what I saw and bought will be up soon <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->. Incase you are wondering what I saw, here is a quick list:

*Wolves, lots of (big surprise) and many other animals o.o
*Lake superior
*Many lakes in Kalamazoo
*Sears tower (from a distance, but still XP)
*The only ever made two seater SR-71 Blackbird :o (no pics, sorry <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
*Multiple fighter jets up close o.o (also no pics XP)
*A lighthouse o.o
*How the US roads don't suck (as opposed to British roads (one word: roundabouts))
*Several of my friends

And a list of what I got:
*Hand carved staue from egypt from solid bassault (sp?) of Anubis on a box
*Big Garnet crystal
*Peice of jet
*Some lapis lasu..thingy (no idea on spelling)
*A Big statue of a Wolf/pup
*A "Powerstone"
*Music CDs
*Wolf "Spirit stone"
*Another wolf statue from a friend
*Art from friends
*Numerous mosquito bites! yay!! (no pictues, luckily)

Anyways, two questions here:
#1 For me to move to America, My family needs to sell the house we are currently living in. I need ideas and tips to help a house sell and such.

#2 Should I buy the 6800gt or the x800 pro? [edit]Update: I'm going to get the x800 pro, not the 6800 gt[/edit]

    Kalamazoo Michigan!!!!!!!

    The seats in the auditorium at my old school were made in Kalamazoo, I'm guessing auditorium seating is that city's main export. And if I were you, I wouldn't go quite that far west. Stick to places like Ohio, nerd capitol of the world.

    I suggest you turn that Lapis Lazuli into some sort of wolf statue....unless it is a horridly small piece (smaller than 1/2 of your fist FYI)

    You're lucky with that Wolf Spirit Stone though. WE NEED PICTARS!

    Jet is a form of coal I beleive. It's black. Very. (hense phrase "jet black")
    As for the powerstone.. er.. It provides energy/power, in the sorta spiritual sense.
  • BeastBeast Armonkyi Join Date: 2003-04-21 Member: 15731Members, Constellation

    <a href='http://www.haxgames.com/americaholiday/items.jpg' target='_blank'>My stuff!</a>
    Labels for stuff:
    1: Wolf spirit stone - Supposed to enhance spiritual connection to the animal (wolves in this case)
    2: Powerstone: This was given to me by a friend, it was found in a riverbed under a willow tree.
    3: A bigish chunk of garnet
    4: Lapis Lazuli
    5: Peice of jet
    6: Small wolf pendant, My mother found me thi on ebay, pure silver, hallmarked, at least 50 years old o.o. VERY detailed.
    7: Anubis pendant - Linked to another pendant of the same design owned by a friend of mine <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    8: Amethyst point
    9: A silver Ankh
    10: Talisman made by one of my friend's friends for me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> It also helps spiritual connection to wolves, quite a bit really.

    And this is a more artistic peice:

    Talisman is pretty cool, I'm slowly forgetting how to make that stuff... kinda forgetting my heritage I guess. :/

    Woah.

    Usually when I see pieces of jet they're usually not so shiny and chunky.And sort of rough on the surface.... but the one you have looks nicely cut.

    I take it's a polished piece of jet o_O

    On a side-note, that Amethyst point would look cool as a spear head XD

    EDIT : And that Anubis statue si teh pwn.
