    You know something? I take the time and effort to make a thread about some very cool cards. Then a few idiots, for whatever reasons (but im pretty sure exactly why), decide to start throwing unwarranted jabs at me. I then get accused of having alts, and am ridiculed because im a fireman? Wow, simply WOW! Many thanks to those who saw my post and enjoyed the cards, and left positive comments. The other 2 or 3 of you need to really look in the mirror and try to find out why you are SO unhappy that you would rather fight over petty crap than to talk about the hobby itself.

    You took the thread in another direction. And why are you so unhappy that you have to bring an alt to the thread to bring up your income? Nobody thinks any different of you because you make 170-something/year total household.

    He kid, I seem to remember a few months ago that you also "called me out". It was about the amount of calls we received each day. Remember? Cuz if you dont, i'd be more than happy to post your apology to me via PM shortly after you were put in your place on that one. You are wrong here yet again....when should I expect the PRIVATE apology for the PUBLIC bashing?

    Gecko, I was enjoying your cards which Geordie was nice enough to crop. And your occupation is a noble one.

    But, I think you adding commentary about your household income really is irrelevant to your original topic, which I had assumed was to discuss your acquired cards and why you really enjoy them. People can see by the cards you purchased that you spent some money. Why not leave it at that?

    Yeah I don't know anything about the amount of calls you get, but I am pretty sure most of what you say is stretched truth. Max a credit card to get those cards eh?

    I agree with ThunderDan. It was an enjoyable thread for the most part until you started throwing your wallet around. Then it just ended up being tacky and classless.

    Was that before or after I was ridiculed by cardgoddess? My response to her was perfectly appropriate. And we wouldnt even be talking about my wallet had he/she/it not posted that idiotic comment....true or false?

    << <i>86K for a physical therapist? What activities exactly are included in those sessions? >>




    What do physical therapists make where you live.....in Chicago its from $75-$90k WITHOUT any overtime. If we didnt have a kid, my wife would make enough money for me to be too embarrassed to even talk about! She turns down well over $400/week just in overtime alone so she can spend more time with us. Thats a decision I encouraged her to make. Nothing more important than time with family. >>

    Fireman Salary

    My guess is that he can't work solely as a fireman if he makes that kind of money.

    Most Chicago firemen I have know (and I have known many) make a average salary but they all have something going on the side. What is your deal? anything on the side that maybe doesnt get reported like many of the firemen I know??? Besides...why do you always bring up your salary???

    It's not a national average, but done by zip code. I had to look up Chicago zips just to get to the information.

    Finally, we are back on track and talking about cards!!!! Its so nice to be able to discuss cards without the haters jumping in to question me every step of the way!

    All 3 Mitchells have serious creases that have caused the paper to break in places. The surfaces arent too bad, if you dont mind an occassional inch long scratch here and there. The corners are VERY sharp...when compared to a typical T206 card, and the color is excellent. They were left on the window sill for 3 weeks last August to try to dull some of that obnoxious orange color where his name appears! Interested in them?

    Again, someone who wants to focus on financial issues rather than the cards themselves. If you'd like to discuss cards, lets do so. If you want to discuss money, there are other forums for that....go find one.image

    That photograph was taken in Sept of 2006...notice the 3/4 coat and the hip boots? In December of '06 we were the last major department to make the switch to "bunker pants" and had to turn in all our old gear. Incidentally, we bought that house in August of '06. Gee, I wonder why its not yet filled with furniture a whole month after we moved in??? Would you like photos of my current house WITH furniture, or is that still not persuasive enough? What would it take for you to go back to your very unhappy life and leave me alone?

    He did the same thing on the Net54 board this week to. Just causing drama and trying to look better than others.

    and it looks like hes trying to move some more stuff there.
    Good Luck

    Now that you are selling them just days after completion what was the reason for of all of these pointless threads?

    I don't usually jump in to the middle of these but I will state that cardgoddess is not gekko.

    Unless gekko is an alt for a reg here.

    This goes to both sides of this argument:

    Learn to ignore people and let them make a fool of themselves all on their own.
    By fanning the flames and participating in the back and forth, in the end, you look just as foolish.
