1. Hahahah!

I had one of those when i was 10sh.. Yeah it takes forever!... And the stuff used in the later cycles STINK when you open them and have to rinse them off...

Funny thing, a few weeks ago I was thinking about wasting the money and ordering one to tumble the pebbles and crap in my backyard...

2. You just took me back to my childhood in the '70s.

I think I was totally keyed up about it the first time based on what the box showed. When I how long it took, I lost interest.

But whenever my sisters announced they had a new batch ready to take out, I was there in a flash. I loved picking through and finding a favorite.

3. Yes, we have...

but we had to put the tumbler on the back porch...I couldn't take the "crrrrrrrr thud thud thud" in the house.

And it did take forever, with mediocre results.
