    I thought your dad was leaving emop?

    Red when I cooked boiled dinner I use slat beef or salt pork, boil that, than boil all the veggies Sunny mentioned and toss it all together. Real Newfoundland or Cape Breton style would be to cook a duck or partridge with it. Mmmm

    I don't know if this is too late or not, but I have a few stones that might help.

    Pyrite, Ruby, Tourmaline (Green), Lapis Lazuli are all good for your brain.

    Hematite, Howlite, Rhodonite , Unakite are all good for your memory.

    Just carry one, or wear it if it's in jewelry. Keep it on the desk with you while you take the test. They'll help even more if you keep them nearby while you study.

    Amber, Bloodstone, Charoite, Citrine, Peridot, Green Amber, Jade, Jet, 
Malachite, Moss Agate, Pyrite/Marcasite, Silver, Tiger Eye, Turquoise can all help draw money to you. Basically, most green, gold, and yellow stones are good for drawing money.

    If you have a business, then place a citrine over the door and in or on the cash register. You can also keep a piece of citrine in your wallet or purse.

    If you can find them as stone beads, then you can string them as a necklace or bracelet. Just be warned, most of the stone beads they sell in craft stores are either not what they're labeled as, or are altered. Also, there are some general care tips to keep in mind.

    Amber melts when exposed to strong heat, so you shouldn't wear it while cooking or near a fire.

    Charoite will change color if exposed to heat or moisture. It doesn't hurt the stone any, just darkens in color.

    Malachite and pyrite shouldn't be exposed to excess moisture. They'll both tarnish.

    Amber, jet, malachite, and turquoise are all relatively 'soft' stones and can become scratched or broken.

    Some things to look out for with fake or altered stones:

    You can tell real amber by heating a pin and placing it on the piece. It should smell like warm honey. Fakes will smell like burning plastic. You can also try placing a piece in water overnight. It should turn into a jelly-like mass. It doesn't always work, and will ruin the piece, though.

    Stones sold as turquoise are sometimes really dyed howlite. Howlite is a white stone with black veining similar to turquoise. Dyed howlite, and color-enhanced turquoise, will 'bleed' color if placed in water. You'll end up with a cup of blue water with stones at the bottom.

    There's also a stone called turquinite that's often sold as turquoise. It's softer than real turquoise and lacks the distinctive banding, though.

    I don't think I have any of those stones. I mostly have Amethyst, Amber, Jade, and onyx. I would love to get a turquoise stone. My jade is a really dark, almost black. I also have a Jade stone cat, but it's supposed to bring on fertility, so I try not to touch it lol.

    Hey everyone, No don't know if anyone is around. I don't even know if there is still anyone around that remembers me. I missed this place and it always has a way of drawing me around.

    OK, the amethyst could help. It's not the best choice, but it's not the worst.

    Hematite is that black-silver stone that's often used to make magnetic beads.

    Edit:

    Azurite, beryl (which includes emerald and aquamarine), optical calcite, and apatite are good stones to use while studying.

    If you can get a hold of a good piece of optical calcite, then you can actually read through it. Read the harder to remember pieces of information through the stone. When you take the test, hold the stone or look through it to help trigger your memory.

    Hey Bella, I used to be here everyday all day long but then I just slowly faded away. I'm surprised I was ever brought up since then.
