Rocks? Really? Just random rocks only, or including mineral specimens, agates, fossils, etc.?

Indeed, jade is considered rock. Per Wikipedia...

Jade is an umbrella term for two different types of decorative rocks used for jewelry or ornaments. Jade is often referred to by either of two different silicate mineral names: nephrite (a silicate of calcium and magnesium in the amphibole group of minerals), or jadeite (a silicate of sodium and aluminum in the pyroxene group of minerals).

Casino slot machines have been good to me over the decades, for others.... maybe not so much. I agree w/ the old poker adage.... "I'd rather be lucky than good."

sounds like a rant but the most worthless hobby o all time is stamp collecting, right behind comic books.

OP, do you want to know a worse hobby? Try buying a fishing boat, all the gear, fuel, insurance, electronics, wharfage, etc...Only to find out that the fish you get to keep costs $1000 per pound.

Sounds like the inheritance, was a bit watered down from expectations ... I hate to see the unhappiness of an individual, directed at others ... I'll Pray for him.

Casino slot machines are more of an obsession than a 'hobby'

Just sitting there praying that the next pull of the arm will bring in the big win (over and over, and over again.)

It seems the OP was ill informed on what constitutes a valuable error, then had their rant and left ... all in the same day, not heard from since.

We had one like that at the club I go to. He turned up, looked impatient, demanded to know why none of us wanted to buy his coins off him (well you wouldn't if he had a bad attitude, would you?) slung a few insults about and left. Not seen him since.
