Old Retired Guy New To The Boards Says Hello

supertooth · July 31, 2005 9:49AM

Hello!! Have been lurking out there for months learning from these boards. Finally found a question that I really wanted to answer about Mr. I. Kleinman out of New York. Could not resist trying to help. Anyway, I am a 58 year old, just retired dentist from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I have been collecting off and on now for some 50 years. Started with 3 Japanese coins my dad gave me from the war when I was 8. Have collected a little of almost everything at one time or another but I especially have enjoyed collecting CC20 dollar gold [years ago] and am currently working on some nice Walkers. I hope to help whenever I can. I enjoy the young folks especially. Will always try to be respectful of others here and do my best to give more than I take away. Thanks. Bob [supertooth]

Welcome aboard!

Thanks already for the nice welcome. One of the reasons why I have lurked for soooo long was not my fear of a good conversation but I am terrible with this computer. Without my wife and kids, I would be lost. So my picture ability is not very good. I am even scared of the icons. Am afraid that I would mess up the post in some way. I know that I will get better with time and, in the meantime, I will do my best. As my free time will be better now, maybe my wife and I can learn the art of digital picture taking. As for now, I will help whenever I can----if I think that my knowledge is worthy. Again, THANKS for the warm welcome. Bob [supertooth]

Hey Bob

I'm just east of the Mason-Dixon line from you. Always been impressed with the eastern shore, seems like such a nice place.

<< <i>just retired dentist >>

So how's retired life treating you? Got enough to keep you busy? I've been off on vacation all last week ( did nothing ) and I'm ready to go back to work tonight ( 3rd shift Chrysler Plant - Newark DE ) . I get so tired of going to work all the time but I do miss it a little when I'm doing nothing. Guess I should have actually gone somewhere - like New Hampshire!

Enjoy yourself,

Bob from Delaware

Welcome Bob,,,,,,,,,,

Cockney · July 31, 2005 10:48AM

Nice too meet you mate.....

When your tired of these old farts, why not mosey along to the Open Forum..where we have a good laugh

supertooth · July 31, 2005 10:49AM

Thanks to all of you again for the welcome. To Bob from Delaware----never been more relaxed in my life than at this moment. Oh sure, nobody is without problems, but I have managed to almost get rid of the "stress" and "responsibilities" of a 30+ year dental practice. Am now out of debt for the first time since I graduated from dental school in 1973. I can now play with my coins and enjoy the quiet of my woods----no people anywhere around me. Now, if only I can get better with this computer and learn to take some decent pictures. I am so slow to learn these things. My kids just laugh at me. But I hope to offer some decent advice on these boards and hope to continue to learn from all of you. I may be inept computer-wise but I will try to get better. Bob [supertooth] P.S. I type with one finger too. It is just such a shame to have had such a "narrow" education.

Supertooth, Welcome to the boards from another retired old guy. I hooked me a Maryland gal 26 years ago and we spend a few weeks each year in Md., especially Ocean City. Glad to see you on board.

KentuckyJ · July 31, 2005 10:51AM

It's good to see you here!

It's OK, Bob. I type with 2 fingers.
