Brody and I ran up and down the beach yesterday popping them with our feet. He loved it. The dead, dried up ones will not bother you. We have been popping them for years. The live ones, different story. They hurt real bad!. The best cure when stung is to pee on the affected area!:yikes: This can be a problem if stung on your shoulder!

:lol::lol:

Just stand on your head!!!

Wow! Love the shells. I've never seen those before, and the last week or so, I haven't been on the beach, so have really been missing out. Thanks for sharing the pics and summary. Will you share the title of your shell book, please? I could use a good shell book.

I picked up a ton of these shells one time in LA. We always called them Whale's Eyes.:dunno:I had no clue of the story behind them.

That's not a problem for all of us...

...good to know. You are no longer allowed to take our son to the beach without adult supervision.

You know, the shell book that I use is one that I bought after Opal in 1995. It looks really "hokey," but I have actually used it a lot. It's an 8x12 inch book entitled "Florida's Fabulous Seashells," (and Other Seashore Life) by Winston Williams. ISBN: 0-911977-05-8. It has a photo of an orange/yellow ocean sunset on the front with a large conch shell in the foreground.

What I like is that it deals with Florida shells specifically, and it has great photos and some information about each shell /sea creature type. Not fancy, but a good resource.
