    Is there a way to add your own icon picture instead of the one's in that list when you sign up? They all seem to belong to other people already.

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    <<"Wow! I didn't know there were so many computer geeks in coin collecting!">>

    Actually its just that a lot of coin collectors like computer stuff.

    For me I am a hands on synthetic chemist; I make lots of neat chemicals, but no recreational pharmaceuticals.

    BTW, whenever I feel like working I lie down until the feeling goes away.

    I would think the typical coin collector, would be the typical american.
    Someone who works a mundane job, pays their bills, and saves every new Statehood Quarter that comes out.
    Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
    Forbid it, Almighty God!
    I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
