So if you see no more posts from Tradedollarnut, Coinguy1, STEWARTBLYNUMIS, Legend and Homerunhall... you'll know that I finally shut my trolling accounts down.
..............to complete three sets i'm working on, get one other to 50% and save more money!! i know those sound like mutually exclusive goals, but they're doable!!
A quote from Blaise Pascal that was brought in today by a member of my cancer support group that is amazingly on topic here.
"We never care for the present moment.
We are so foolish we wander in times that are not ours and never think of the only time that belongs to us; we are so frivolous that we dream of the days that are not, and thoughtlessly pass over the only one that exists.
We never live but hope to live, and since we are always preparing to be happy, it is inevitable that we shall never be so."
I have actually already started my new year's resolutions... I'm exercising to gain back the strength I used to have. I've cut back drastically my coin expenditures and focusing on coins that are fun, affordable, and not demanding on my resources. I'm growing in my discipleship in Christianity and my depth of theology. And one that I have not yet started, but intend to try for next year. That is to finally start the search for a Mrs.
I will buy the coins I want the first time I see them at auction, not later from the high-bidder dealer who will charge me 30% more than he paid (and collect it from me before he pays the auction house).
I have a few numismatic resolutions for next year. In 2004 I resolve to become a smarter collector through:
Taking the ANA's course "Grading US Coins" View auction lots of current and potential collecting interests Have the local coin collecting crowd over again once or twice Submit some of my better world coins to test my abilities
I will only buy PCGS coins because they make the best coins...and all the other services are #$@*, and any raw coin must have a problem, because if it didn't have a problem, it would be in a PCGS slab. (Said with tongue planted firmly in cheek)
I will come back to the states late next year (unless they suprise me and send me to another overseas base) and I resolve to learn ALOT bout coins and try to interest others in the hobby.
Mine would be to complete a first draft of my clipped cent book. There are lots of little milestones to hit between today and that goal, though, so I reserve the right to revise that one.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

I will buy only high end key date Morgans, SLQ's, Walkers,--alright---ANY & ALL coins. Take the ANA grading course. Complete the hookup of my Coolpix camera to my virus infected puter when its returned. Catalog all coins. Advise Ebay on a regular basis, they STILL promote fraud and scams.
I resolve to join Saint Feldolini in his Righteous Dinghy of Truth, and help rid the rancid waters of the Bay of Eee of scoundrels, gypsies, tramps and thieves.

I generated a thread like this one in the open forum. However, here are my goals/resolutions for 2004:
1. Lose 15 pounds (using low carb diet) 2. Complete Morgan PCGS registry set 3. Complete Peace PCGS registry set 4. Complete Ike MS with varieties PCGS registry set (only 1 left)
I spoke with my stepbrother, a doctor (internal medicine, or "adult" doctor) with his OWN practice who is VERY sharp, and he said the low carb diet works in the real world as far as his patients are concerned. He said this was the only diet that worked where they could lose weight and lower their cholesterol.
Happy new year to all

Cosmos66 - yours are ambitious.
Baccaruda - yours is commendable.
Wondo - yours is smart.
Carl - yours are serious
MDWoods - yours is impossible! Edited to add - so is mine.
Stman - grumpier? Hmmm, that might be another one of those impossible ones.

I'll make that pesky 1964 PCGS Acct Hair PR69 Cameo before someone else does.
I'll sell all of my duplicates.
I won't stay on the forums all day at work.
