Hi guys! How is everyone? I haven't been on in AGES, but I thought I'd drop by and say hi. :)

I'll be at the FUN show in a few days and this time of year gets me thinking 'bout coins again. Anyway, blah blah...I hope everyone from "back in the day" is doing well! :)

    Welcome back! There's a few of us still lurking around these days. Sadly, a few of our forum legends from that time have since passed on to the big bourse in the sky.

    I am not from the past but in the last ten days went in for an MRI went into shock, died, spent 2 days in ICU going in and out of shock. Came home. cooked some bacon and went back to Er. No memory of that but will never cook bacon again. home again now. Yes. Life goes on. Perhaps we will get to know each other. James
