Rock Tumbling ?

Rocks, Minerals, Shiny pebbles..

Always felt people were crazy for collecting rocks,

But the Older Tp4 gets,  the more the idea has become appealing..

The colourful spiky ones look good especially if they're growing out of or inside a rock but I've never seen the attraction to smooth ones.  I've looked at the big skulls on skullis occasionally for years but never actually bought anything.

Boulder Opals are beautiful; thought about maybe getting one just for the hell of it. Don't think I can sustain another collection hobby though.

When the kids were little we got a small cheap-o tumbler and it was pretty worthless. I guess you get what you pay for.

Tumbled rocks can be very cool.
Grandiose views of self, devaluation of others, lack of empathy, gaslighting (distorting facts and insisting on blind obedience to one’s own view of reality) – all in service to the ego of the narcissist – pose clear and present dangers to relationships. A narcissist without conscience, restraints, checks or balances can easily become an authoritarian or sociopath, insisting that they are not beholden to laws or responsible to their relationships, organization, community or even country as a whole. All that matters is unbridled power and winning antagonistically against others.
