Wow, 3 years later, still watching my diet and lost another 5 to 10 pounds. Feeling good and I have contolled diabetes with taking pills and ozempic. I peaked out at 95% of my former self but I think at age 66 1/2 this is as good as I will get.
I have definitely slowed down in my major coin purchases but have resisted selling any of my coin collection.
That might be more of a function of my age and attitude of " been there done that?"

Glad you're feeling better. Salt is not a good thing!
Glad to hear you're doing well !
As for salt, the lack of it is also not a good thing. You can get very, very ill and even risk brain damage.
True. But you need a blood test to determine if your sodium levels are ok. My wife stopped cooking with salt and I stopped adding it. If you look at processed food you eat, you will not have a problem keeping your sodium level up. Anyway, I didn't as I owe for many tests. I even take lasix 80mg., 2 times a day.

Bought yet another brown plastic 1942 pattern cent from Heritage FUN Auction in January. PCGS SP-66 grade (highest PCGS grade - tied with the other one which I also own) and very nice. I was going to take it to CAC for hopeful stickering but the Corona-Virus-19 thing kind of stopped me from travelling to NJ to CAC.
Last couple of weeks I started buying some old junk silver coins. Having a blast buying a bunch of 1919 and 1920 merc dimes in Fair to Good Condition from a nice fellow PCGS poster. . Splitting the purchase with my wife's cousin.

Glad that you are doing well, Oreville. Buying or not, you will always be an asset to the coin community.
Oreville, you've been--and remain--a wonderful mentor and friend to many of us here. So good to see you back!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Glad you're doing well, Oreville. Keep it up.
I am in the same frame of mind....keeping what I have but buying little else.
Very few coins that I am looking for these days.
Still going to shows, a lot, and interacting with like-minded people and learning, too.
I usually make a small show purchase, when I go, but nothing crazy.
Age and experience will catch up to you sooner or later.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

It's good to see you progressing in the right direction. I wish I could lose some weight but it's so difficult to do.
Thanks for letting us know how you are doing. Good to see you back posting.
I think the salt and sweets is going to catch up to us all someday, one way or another. Keep up the good work!
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
