I believe the big C is Cancer...
And congrats on 20 years! Do you still find yourself reaching for one out of the blue? Some triggers are still there...but I gag to smell it on my DHs clothes when he comes home from bowling. ICK!
I quit when I was shocked to find myself preggers after we thought we were done and docs said no way..no more are possible. Hmph! Showed them...we even had another after him!
And no...not a knife handle. tho it may be made of the same material.

I shoulda known what the big C was, tried it myself, didn't care much for it. :D

I found things came in 3's, 3 days were real rough, an edgy 3 weeks, the first 3 months I almost broke many a time, but then it got slowly, slowly easier. After 3 years it never really was an issue again, I was too determined by that point to ever turn back.

[Skrim17]

thumb drive?

[Mom27andblessed]

Nope.
the object is made of natural material. with a touch of added paint/ink

[jr#8]

Excuse the ignorance, but what is The big C?

Yup cancer free for 3 years. 2 more and I beat it, which will be no problem at all.
One of my 2 big gifts to myself after the cutting was the 20D.The other a 42" plasma TV
As for the image I'm clueless

[Lawrie B]

Printer Cartridge?

[Mom27andblessed]

[Miniflash]

Flexy thingie on a cable or p lug in?

[Mom27andblessed]

nope...the item is 99% natural material (one)

[Miniflash]

[Chet]

Looks like wood painted gray with some bite marks in it. Not sure of the goldie color yet.

[jr#8]

pencil

[archaeoman]

Ceramic?

[cedm]

spires of an electric motor..?

[Mom27andblessed]

Ceramic?

[SnowManZ]

alright, I am going to say a wooden figurine.

We know it's wood, and it's carved, and painted.

[Miniflash]

a honey thingiema bob

[Mom27andblessed]

It is wood, sorta carved (probably stamped) and painted...but not a figure.

not a honey thingiemabob.

think...small

[Miniflash]

A toothpick?

[SingingSabre]

Wooden nickel? Don't take it!

[SingingSabre]

Is it a building block?

[Skrim17]

[Mom27andblessed]

Is it a building block?

ding ding ding ding ding!!!!

[ABrownPhoto]

Very nice macro!!

[Mom27andblessed]

Thanks!

[ABrownPhoto]

Alrighty..... whats next???

I am ready to guess! I have about 30min. before my engagement shoot followed by a maternity shoot.

C'MON PEOPLE!!!! hehe

[SingingSabre]

It's a small one, but here it is.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/SingingSabre/POTN%20stuff/SMGG/SMGG4708crop1.jpg

[SnowManZ]

well it looks like meat, but I'm not sure what the black an white part is.

so I will say a delicious steak.

[SingingSabre]

Mmmm...delicious steak...

Nope, not steak, delicious, or delicious steak!

[SnowManZ]

Im drinkin beer and cooking a couple T-Bones right now. God I love grilled steaks.

[SingingSabre]

Steak is great...sounds really good right now.

My macro does have something to do with the grill, however.

[Skrim17]

wire brush

[Mom27andblessed]

spatula or scraper?

[SingingSabre]

Not a wire brush or a spatula.

This of what the grill uses to perform its primary function. This relates directly to that. A bit of an odd clue, but I'm hoping for a gaseous exchange !

[SolidxSnake]

Propane? Burner?

[Mom27andblessed]

charcoal
or maybe one of those long charcoal lighters

the white part...is that what we are looking at? or the brownish/blackish part above it?

[Skrim17]

mesquite chips?

[SingingSabre]

charcoal

The brownish/blackish part.

Not a charcoal lighter. So terribly close.

Propane? Burner?

Nay.

[ekleverich]

grease

[webcrawlur]

I think it's time for a better crop or at the very least, a better clue.:D

[DanteCaspian]

I think it's time for a better crop or at the very least, a better clue.:D

Oh yes, please!

[jr#8]

igniter

[AlphaChicken]

i think Jr#8 has it. i am pretty sure that the end of the ignigter that sparks has a ceramic element to it somewhere?

[SingingSabre]

Sorry for the delay, Sundays are my busiest days.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/SingingSabre/POTN%20stuff/SMGG/SMGG4708crop2.jpg

If this doesn't give it away...

No to all of the above answers. :)

[webcrawlur]

Yes, this does certainly give it away, I have nothing so I won't guess.;)

[AlphaChicken]

:-p i'm going to go out on a limb here.... why hasnt anyone said matches?

[SingingSabre]

Because no one wanted to guess the correct answer, Alpha!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y208/SingingSabre/POTN%20stuff/SMGG/SMGG4708full0.jpg

Note: this was taken for the purpose of the game, not stock or product, hence the awful framing.

[AlphaChicken]

oh... wasss i not supposed to guess? :-\

ill post one up in just a sec here.

[AlphaChicken]

Alrighty here we go guys. This has been a long time since I have been in this game. :D hope it doesn't go too fast. Best of luck! and...let the guessing begin!

[SingingSabre]

Looks like solder.

[Chandler.]

A gilded bell pepper?

[ABrownPhoto]

-battery?

[Daniel2000]

some transistor?

[AlphaChicken]

No transistor or battery. nothing to do with a pepper. not solder. keep guessing. :)

[Mom27andblessed]

is this something that is man-made or does this occur in nature?

If natural...animal, vegetable or mineral?

[tomd]

earing?

[AlphaChicken]

I wasnt aware this was 20 questions. :D But ill be nice. Its man made. Thats the only hint for a while.

And no its not an earing. :)

[GSansoucie]

It is a hammer and a flattened nail head.

[AlphaChicken]

lol. I can kinda see that. But no sorry. :)

[Apollo11]

Caramel Apple, or a sucker handle going into a sucker?

[AlphaChicken]

nope. time for another hint i guess. its nothing you would eat or eat with. :)

and a repost for the new page:

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=262646&stc=1&d=1208151863

[<AkulA>]

part of a stove?

[AlphaChicken]

nope no part of a stove.

[Daniel2000]

It's not some kind of electronic circuitry? thats what I tought at first and said transistor

[AlphaChicken]

nope nothing to do with electronics. :)

[<AkulA>]

is it a paintbrush painting something?

[AlphaChicken]

nope not a paintbrush. you are a little closer in a small vague sense though.

[Apollo11]

Q-tip?

[BearLeeAlive]

and a repost for the new page:

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=262646&stc=1&d=1208151863
Another repost for the 50 posts/page folks

How about a firecracker/smoke bomb.

Anything fused?

[Mom27andblessed]

spider web attached to something...maybe in your grill?

[archaeoman]

Doesn't look like a web, looks more like fiberglass attached to copper.

[AlphaChicken]

nothing with a fuse. and no spiderweb. no q-tip

its not anything expendable. a paintbrush was the closest so far. ;-)

[Mom27andblessed]

part of a paint gun or air brush?

[AlphaChicken]

it was closest because it matched in the same VERY general category as paintbrush. not an airbrush or paint gun though.

[Mom27andblessed]

a handle of something....?

[AlphaChicken]

I think its time for a slightly bigger crop. Along with a hint. Myabe I made it a little too obscure.

Hint: its a type of handheld tool

[<AkulA>]

Hmmm, prod of some sort? like on a tazer?

[SnowManZ]

my initial thought was a messed up welding tip. but this crop ruins that guess.

[<AkulA>]

a bell or lock?

[Mom27andblessed]

a whisk...or maybe some type of BBQ utensil?

[RandyMN]

Looks like solder on the end but this would make a very strange soldering tip.

[AlphaChicken]

no to all those. this might give it away somewhat, but its a tool used for a type of art.

[Mom27andblessed]

is it a clay sculpting tool?

[Mom27andblessed]

or maybe some type of iron....like maybe for doing stained glass windows?

[qtaran111]

palette knife?

[Miniflash]

is it a handle on a gardening tool

[<AkulA>]

Some part of a musical insturment?

[AlphaChicken]

is it a clay sculpting tool?

indeed it is. :) thats close enough for me. Its a very small loop tool or wire tool. Here is full picture.

Congrats you're up Mom27! :)

[Mom27andblessed]

Ah!! OK well, since I'm leaving for Michigan tomorrow morning for 5 days, and will be busy helping my daughter birth my new granddaughter (labor coach...who'da thunk it ;)) I will pass the torch to someone who will be able to monitor guesses.

Enjoy! and that, Alpha, was a GREAT macro!

[tomd]

I'll give it a shot:

[Kim Shaw]

Looks like a gob stopper to me!!!

[tomd]

Looks like a gob stopper to me!!!

Nope. not a gob stopper.

[Skrim17]

inside of a hard boiled dyed easter egg.

[tomd]

[<AkulA>]

Yuuuuk, that thing is SICK lookin, lol

[tomd]

Yuuuuk, that thing is SICK lookin, lol

Yes, but it tasted ohhh so good with a little salt and pepper!

[Skrim17]

I'm at work and have nothing at the moment so it is up for grabs!

[ABrownPhoto]

[ABrownPhoto]

Plastic engraved writing on some sort of deviceYes, but what is the device? ;)

[tomd]

[AlphaChicken]

[SingingSabre]
