Well, my 10x loupe I got from spinaker2000 (And the only one I had) died today. He was around 3 months old. He was made by the folks at compass. I always had him in my wallet, but recently when I checked my wallet he had fallen apart, with one of his lens split. It happened to be the first gift I ever got from any forum member, so it means alot to me. May you Rest In Peace, funeral plans will be arranged soon. Poem coming soon..

    Yeah, loupes are not made to go in your wallet and be sat upon....... hey GCL, do us a little favor... when you go off to Reality Ranch... please... grow up a little bit and learn some common sense. I have friends younger than you, that act a whole lot more mature than you seem to on these forums...

    I never sat on it. I was trying to put some humor in my posts for once, I guess I shouldn't do that..

    A bit melodramatic, aren't we? Well, boot camp will likely stomp out that sissy attitude. image

    I have a few loupes and one is certainly my favorite. I purchased it from a fellow collector/friend who passed away last year. One of the finest men that I have had the opportunity to meet in my years online. He had heart surgery and never woke up. So this loupe and a few books that I purchased from him are near and dear to my heart. I use the loupe daily and when it goes to loupe heaven I will be a sad collector. I could save it and not use it but I like using it. It makes me think of Larry daily image

    Here, Here Russ. "Cheers" The boy has got to get a set and grow up. Reality Camp, I believe, was the proper place for his parents to send him this summer. It should provide him with a life long education.

    I am not capping on this kid, but as I lurk and here the whinney little attitude from an immature 16 year old, it makes me sick. 2 months after I turned 17, a rifle was thrown into my chess and at will was ordered to kill people.

    We have soldiers just a few years older than this sissy dying daily for our freedom.

    My suggestion to you young man is:
    #1, spend some time OFF the computer, Get some sunlight,
    #2 Appreciate what your parent are trying to do for you, which is all to obvious.
    #3 Stop your complaining and start appreciating what you do have.
    #4 And most importantly - Grow Up, you sound like a little snoot nosed punk.

    I'd rather scoop up a bag of popcorn and watch Walt put GCL through the paces.........whooo-rah style instead of this wanna-be camp.

    Well, let's have a vote.......what are you looking MORE forward to?
    a) not reading GCL's posts for 6 weeks
    b) reading GCL's posts when he gets back from reality school

    Hmmmmmm...maybe B? That's a tough one........ image

    What did you do, throw a tantrum and fling at your mother?
