Longacre · March 11, 2009 2:31AM

Great idea! I'd like to whine that The Man is working me like a dog and I cannot post as much as I'd like to.

zeebob · March 11, 2009 2:34AM

I'd like to complain about something to, but I can't remember what it was...

zeebob · March 11, 2009 2:35AM

Oh, I remember... I ran across some of those darn Ikes (proofs mostly), and I don't know what the heck to do with them. Grrr.... Ikes...

Dunno if that was intentional or not but it was genius either way!

Stop whining already, Lee!

RYK · March 11, 2009 2:38AM

I am going to whine about the suggestion that we have to limit whining to Wednesdays, only.

Walmann · March 11, 2009 2:38AM

Okay but who is bringing the women and song?

RyGuy · March 11, 2009 2:41AM

This thread is awesome, haha.

I'm with Longacre, too. This man he talks about is working me too dang hard.

Coinlearner · March 11, 2009 2:41AM

...Error on PCGS account log-in.........Maybe they took some parts from it,and used them here, to fix the log-in on the forum, yesterday

........................Two other threads,could have posted but this seemed a good choice.

19Lyds · March 11, 2009 2:43AM

<< Okay but who is bringing the women and song? >>

Oh puh-lease!

Don't bring any whining women!

Now somebody please whine about that!

I'm sick of seeing the same whiners on the UHR thread whine over 25 times a day about the same thing. That thread can die anytime and 95%+ of the Board members could care less!!!

IrishMike · March 11, 2009 2:45AM

I was going to whine today about the spring cleaning I had to do, but having found these while cleaning I promise not to whine.

eyoung429 · March 11, 2009 2:47AM

Whining?? Yep, I'll whine. Was picking my daughter up from school last Wednesday and was rear-ended by a Suburban and have been bed ridden since with damage to my l4 and l5.

There.

gecko109 · March 11, 2009 2:48AM

Yesterday, my wife bought a vacuum cleaner from a door to door salesman. The price? $1,789!

Fortunately there is a 3 day cancellation period. Im expecting the doorbell to ring any moment now.

Walmann · March 11, 2009 2:49AM

The whining so far hasn't really been very whiney. That's somewhat irritating .

CoinJunkie · March 11, 2009 2:50AM

I'll post at dinner as I enjoy whining and dining...

Meltdown · March 11, 2009 2:51AM

I just talked with blu62vette and he is attending an all day morgan variety class here in town and I'm stuck working my arse off.

She bought a Kirby? Good luck with that refund.

I want to complain that all of my pants apparently shrank in the wash. A bunch of shirts, too. The socks still fit, though.

atarian · March 11, 2009 2:59AM

I would like to file a complaint . My gold $2.50 was slabbed a while back as a 62 and i feel it should have been a 63. Ive debated regrading but not sure right now i want to wait the time. but my heart says its a 63.

Complaint # 2 I think some one of my friends walked off with my $1 2001series F 0000 0034 C note and im displeased about it.

Doogy · March 11, 2009 3:01AM

I had to sit too long at the DMV today; there is my whine for the day.

My wife is still at the auto repair place but it doesn't sound good. I was taken from the accident in an ambulance with a concussion, strained neck and re-injured my previous back injury.

we were in a 2003 Ford Explorer, she was driving a 1989 Suburban and there was a newer Chevy Cobalt that had stopped in front of us. We stopped and my wife yelled, I turned my head to look at her when we were hit at about 35 mph, my head hit the roof and the rest of my body went forward. The impact drove our truck forward and impacted the chevy that was stopped in front of us.

had a ct scan and thankfully nothing fractured or broken but will be bedridden for approx 3wks.

front end of the suburban was totalled and will find out about our truck today. But seeing as the rear doors don't close properly...doesn't look promising.

imron · March 11, 2009 3:06AM

Since many of you have probably stopped reading the UHR thread, understandably so, and since this thread is a great opportunity to let more peole know what I found out earlier today, I present to you my Whine, no cheese, just Whine:

THIS IS AMAZING!

Based on my understanding of a conversation I had with an employee at the Mint in D.C., whose name I will not reveal to prevent any retaliation against her, I was provided the following information.

ALLEGEDLY, the Mint has known all this time which orders were going to be shipped and which orders were NOT going to be shipped for at least the last two weeks.

ALLEGEDLY, more than two weeks ago, the Mint had finished preparing certain orders for shipping. These prepared orders are the orders that the Mint has been shipping over the past two weeks. The Mint knew that only these prepared orders would be shipped through today.

So, ALLEGEDLY, if you have called the Mint over the past two weeks to check the status of your order, the Mint knew at that time whether or not your order was going to ship and DID NOT tell you.

ALLEGEDLY, the Mint has NOT prepared ANY additional orders for shipping other than those prepared orders mentioned above.

ALLEGEDLY, the Mint actually stopped shipping ANY additional orders.

ALLEGEDLY, the Mint will resume shipping additional orders this Friday, March 13, 2009.

ALLEGEDLY, the Mint knew that their FIFO shipping policy that their customers relied on had been completely disregarded and is sufficiently ready and willing to blame PBGS for this critical error.

If the abovementioned information is true, and I have no reason to believe it is not since it was told to me so 'matter of fact', then the Mint has lost the trust and respect of an entire generation of numismatists, if not more. The actions and the behavior by the Mint is deplorable, profoundly disturbing, and inexcusable. Even a public apology seems inadequate at best. Nevertheless, numismatists and citizens should know the truth. This is your government; these are your tax dollars. These people are supposedly required to report to you, the people. Demand the truth. Demand a remedy.

Casman · March 11, 2009 3:07AM

So...I got a free kitchen Island when they accidentially delivered 2 at my sisters house, we told the delivery guy and he said "Well it's too heavy to load it back on the truck you weren't charged for it, So you keep it"...So I then gotta haul this FREE Island over to my place and "All" it needed was a top! I then got a deal on a slab of granite, except they cut it wrong, they forgot the rounded part for the bar stools...They then offered to throw that slab in for free, if I redid the rest of the kitchen counter tops...All free stuff...Cost me $6,000 for the rest of the granite, then of course the backsplash needed to be tiled + $1,500 for that mess, and of course we couldn't keep the old sink case it'd look funny, so my wife buys a 400lb cast iron double deep sink on sale for $399.00, plus installation was gonna be FREE cause I can Plumb, Had to reframe the cabinet cause it was so heavy, reconfigure the drain and venting + new garbage disposer, and some kind of Platinum Fancy man faucet sprayer thing +$575.00, but everyone keeps telling me ya but the Island was free.............

Funny thing is my wife still thinks I can do plumbing even after I blew up the bathroom a few years back, I was in the basement and she was walking with our baby girl right near the first floor bathroom when I blew it up, literally. The company edited my story to make it more appealing for the readers took out the cuss words, but I did receive a $500 check for the grand prize in the contest...here's how not to unplug a drain...Link

GRANDAM · March 11, 2009 3:07AM

Can we "WHINE" about eBay sales here as well?

I ain't sold hardly nothin' in 2 weeks.

Shameless link to my eBay Store in my signature line below.

dsessom · March 11, 2009 3:10AM

Lightning struck my house last fall during a thunderstorm, which caused about $10,000 in damage. The lightning struck the top of the chimney, blew out bricks, melted flashing, fried wiring in that part of the house, and finally grounded through a copper water pipe causing a water leak in the foundation. This happened a mere 12 months after we bought the house.

My gripe is that as a result, my mortgage just went up a hundered bucks a month due to a insurance premium increase (and increased taxes too). I think that BS!

Ok, I feel much better now... NOT

There's a coin I want, but I shouldn't buy it because I don't really have the money....but I really want the coin....but I don't really have the money....but I really want the coin. You can see where this is going.

MikeInFL · March 11, 2009 3:54AM

I've yet to visit an internet forum where whining doesn't comprise a significant portion of the posts.

Sometimes I think they should have called it the Whinernet.

Gemineye · March 11, 2009 4:00AM

No it's not.....

That's ME TOO! LMAO. But, coins are one of my few sources of joy in life and I work my a$$ off to pay the bills. So I feel I deserve it.

How is that for justification? LOL

TwoSides2aCoin · March 11, 2009 4:16AM

I just knew this would cause severe whining.

GRANDAM · March 11, 2009 4:19AM

I wasn't going to "WHINE" about this but I deceided to go ahead and do it:

It's 2:00PM here and the grades link is STILL down.

Heck, I'm expecting grades and I can't even check them.

It's deadline day for UHR 1st Strike and I can't check to see if my submission that was received yesterday per the USPS site has been logged in or not.

My True-View photos are gone!!!

This is just alot of undue and unneeded stress

All this happening on UHR 1st Strike Deadline day,,,, ?????? A mere consequence you say,,,,, I think not

I believe someone working on behalf of "ANOTHER" TPG company has hacked into The PCGS Site to to wreck havock upon us on this the day of UHR 1st Strike deadline!!!!!

JMHO, GrandAm

AUandAG · March 11, 2009 5:06AM

My rant is how the mint does not take care of the coins they hold in their valuts for decades and longer.

The GSA sales were wonderful and there were some lovely, high grades that came out of the sale but
most were just bag marked yukkies! Why did they not take care of them??

This is akin to a car dealer who's lot got hit by a hail storm and then selling the cars as mint condition.
Heck the mint made a bundle on those dollars that were sold way above face value.

My latest coin in a GSA, I posted here last week, is covered with verdigris. Improper storage. Nevermind
the bagmarks and rough handling but stored in a damp or wet environment for years! Ugggggggh

thanks,
bob
