adobero1 Valued Member United States 363 Posts	Posted 07/16/2006 8:37 pm Adobero in Spanish means "adobe maker". I've been building with adobe (mixture of clay, sand, and straw) off and on for about 25 years. It's a long, slow, laborious process. If you haven't developed patience when you start building with adobe, you will as time goes on! Report this Post to the Staff

coolg35748 Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 07/17/2006 10:03 pm When I was eight or so years old a newly discovering the internet I would play on nick.com and I just thought up the original coolg357 then later on it evolved into coolg35748. It's just simple and easy for me to remember. Report this Post to the Staff

I was thinking of "fencing geek" and decided to morph it together. Probably didn't turn out too great, but I tried. Rachel: it's "dialysis" if I'm not too mistaken. But then again, I've grown up around medical terms all my life, with parents that are both doctors. Have you ever heard the Australian bush song about the fencer that went to the Melbourne olympics? You might enjoy it. Report this Post to the Staff

Shiny Di New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 07/17/2006 10:43 pm My husband collected coins long before I got bit by the 'world coin' bug - so when he would, in my mind, 'rattle' on and on about mint marks and ms grades and key dates I would feel my eyes glaze over then just look down at the coin and respond 'shiny' .. that usually made him hush. Now I am very enthusiastic about the world coins and will do the same, talk on and on about them and he will tease me and call me 'Shiny Di'. Report this Post to the Staff

A wide overhanging roof helps too. Report this Post to the Staff
ichirensha Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 07/19/2006 12:19 am They fare extremely well as there are still examples from the mid 19th century still standing on the plains of America. Yep, a nice overhang and good plaster on the outside will definately do the trick. They are resistant to fire and pests and are supper energy efficient. Report this Post to the Staff
