Thank you Not A Number. 
Nepenthes....I collect minerals mostly...I like some fossils. I have an addiction/weakness for fluorite. It has so many forms, colors and locations the variety is amazing and never ending. And of course some fluoresces. This past weekend I scored a superb (and expensive ) Portugese fluorite, a Washington state fluorite (ugly but cheap) and an well-priced Argentinian fluorite. I am out to get flourite from all the states (where its found). And I'm working on my English fluorite collection and other countries. I even have a small piece from Scotland. My rarest...Zarembo Island Alaska!
I also like native (wire, nugget) silver, quartz (red, yellow, green, purple, etc.), mexican opal, fire opal, Sweet Home rhodochrosite....I could go on! I DO need to start thinning out my collection and just keep my favorite stuff. I have a TON of minerals. Some real beauties too! But I need to sell off some of it. But they are just so darn beautiful!!! I even have some radioactives.
I buy rocks on eBay. I am a member (and newsletter co-editor) of the Richmond Gem & Mineral Society so I win club raffles, buy from club members who sell, rock shows and swaps, and rock shops. I go anywhere there are rocks! You can get good deals on eBay if you know what you're looking at. I've done some field collecting but not "big league" stuff...yet.

LOL Well, Joseph, that was my actual birthday. I'm a baby prodigy.

And finally Ben and Finch! AND...THE DANCING BROCCOLI!! A birthday ain't a birthday without dancing broccoli.
