people gripe cause they can, they gripe about this or that, just part of human nature to gripe about things out of our control
always remember opinions are just words they are harmless unless you make them harmful to you
trust me I have heard all sorts of opinions from A-Z and then some, I take what opinions I see as useful to me and use them, then the ones that I find not useful I discard

AlanSki, get a grip man. Because of being in the hospital for week and now recovering at home for the last 10 days, I practically live on the forum. 24/7. I read all the posts. I haven't noticed any animosity directed your way. Maybe the meds are clouding my mind (they are) but I'm not seeing it. Post whatever you want. Who cares what others think? Have fun!
Glad you are feeling better! Was it the Covid man?
No. I was bitten by a rattlesnake. I'm lucky to be here today. I want to thank the forum and all the members. As you probably know, no visitors are allowed in hospitals now because of covid. My connection to the outside was this forum. This forum gave me comfort. I can't explain it but......thanks guys. And to AlanSki........nobody is purposely giving you a hard time here. This place really is like a family of sorts. Just enjoy the back and fourth and the comradery. As Ricko would say......CHEERS!
It's all just forum banter. Nobody hates anybody here. You have to become a "Shellback" after enduring some trials as a "Wog".
Some stuff I posted here has been called "Baloney" or 'Rubbish"....................or whatever. You gotta expect some criticism or negativity to roost here.
I like roosting with the Big Birds. I just shuck it off.

I love you AlanSki in a coin collecting bro way! People complain about me also and I get a bunch of nastygrams. I think the forum has a bunch of complainers who don't like change or new members. I'm pretty sure this image sums up the majority of older members here:
I once had a meeting with the guys I supervised and dubbed it “The Voluntelling” so they knew what they were on for. I thanked them for their willingness before I ever got around to letting them know what the projects were.
Glad you’re getting a freshish start with the new position.

You gonna reveal the grade on that reverse-only shared OGH Antitem? ..... 🤔😆
By the way, I checked your stats — that’s a lot of agrees, likes and lol’s for someone that just got here at the end of August! So kudos to you. Hopefully you’re feeling some more love now. 🤓

It has a green CAC now. I believe the color on it + the OGH + the CAC could bring a bit more than what 67's from PC are selling for if multiple interested people wanted it. That's a big if though.
I think you have some great coins, and appreciate your GTG threads. Please keep posting! Like any forum, there are some prickly folks here too and best to just ignore them.

I love the wrist brace and what's the deal with the knife in front of the keyboard? LOL

You never know when you might need to stab someone or something.

Carpal tunnel? Knives are just plain useful.
I watched the whole episode again and they never do explain the purpose of the knife. It's just there.

Think of all the members - like me - who have no complaints. Don't let a vocal minority get you down!
Smitten with DBLCs.

Today is a good day. It was my last day at my job position. Start a new one Monday after being "voluntold" to stay in my last position since July 6.
I once had a meeting with the guys I supervised and dubbed it “The Voluntelling” so they knew what they were on for. I thanked them for their willingness before I ever got around to letting them know what the projects were.
Glad you’re getting a freshish start with the new position.
I had to do it!

A follow up to this thread.
I wonder if restoration services can fix damage.
Because .... I can't get a sticker without a grade.
