Heh. Is it that it’s an old thread?

Edit: not only that at least. There are lots of likeable old threads. Dunno. @Angie? We need our likes!

What are remotes? I just use my phone.

True, but that pops it up to the top of the "What's new" list, whereas a react doesn't do that.

Remotes were like apple watches for your tv. And TVs were like phones for your living room.

So what do you guys think about soaking a red aoto ?

 

[daveb]

Nat or synthetic?

Nat or synthetic?

Nat, I know quite a few people say soaking naturals is a no-go, but a guy earlier in the thread (a few months back) said he has soaked quite a few stones.

 

[daveb]

I would if it helped. I use an Iwaskasi (sp?) pretty regularly and dropping it in water while I gather "stuff" helps it produce mud and otherwise perform "better". I have a green and a blue aoto that a short soak doesn't seem to do anything for.

This one is red with some blue, and it is super thirsty. It definitely improves after a short soak, j just want to be careful, since I'm pretty new to naturals.

"Best" does not apply.

I would disagree. For people with a sufficiently large ability to deny reality, those stones are superb

I laid on the floor in front of the tv so I could reach up and spin the dial, skip commercials
