    Here lies a numismatic "bloke'"
    His coin endeavors drove him broke.
    The friends he made have surly grown,
    There're the ones who bought this stone.

    That's the truth. My poor grandpa went into the hospital for only two days and I got all his stuff before he was released! Turns out that he didn't mind, better me than Grandma. LOL

    Will someone tell the computer challenge souls how to get the tombstone? As I posted, I went to the link, typed "test" on the stone, copied the image and all this computer code filled my reply box - so much it ran out of room! I thought I had imported a virus or shut down the entire CU site. :(

    It's there on the tombstone:

    www.tombstonebuilder.com

    You put in your stuff on the blank tombstone, hit the "download" button on the site, and it's in your download file on your computer.

    Thanks for posting your picture ricko. It's nice to put a face to someone who I think I know and would like hanging out with. It is you isn't it? You're almost as good looking, but not by a long shot, as, well......I'll leave the final decision to Mrs. Hydrant.
