You have your thing, and that’s fine. You aren’t one of the “get rich quick” wackjobs. 

Certainly not one of those. I do take what i do, what i represent, quite seriously. I just hope people get a smile out of what's still out there.

There’s more than one way to serve the interest of growing this hobby. Kissing the butts of rank newbies who know nothing does NOT need to be part of the package. Making them take responsibility, however, DOES!

No one is kissing my butt! I'm just trying to keep things light and interesting. But you are correct, i am a rank newbie who don't know nothing about nothing.

CT can bite me. Clear enough? Tell THEM I won the ANA’s Glenn Smedley Award this year. 

Crystal! That made me laugh out loud! 

Yo! CoinTalk, you know who this is. You hear that? Not only have you banned me, but you banned the @VKurtB, this years winner of the ANA's Glen Smedley award. You hear that? Glen Smedley. You messed up bra. 

I got yo back playa.

QA is dealing with some health issues - he’ll recover. A fall and a respiratory thing. 

Yes, thank you. @Quintus Arriusand i are becoming fast friends, off the forums. We go back and forth all day. He's quite the cunning linguist, as we've all seen here. Quite the way with words, that young fella. Anyway. Thank you for the update. You were mentioned on my thread over on CT! You used to be famous over here, now you're infamous over there. You're welcome .

 Mother of mercy! Is this the end of Q.A.? Who knows?

Heaven's forbid!

[Ah, it once took me a very long time to figure that out. I was advised to do the same, and refused to, until it occurred to me I was already signed out and had nothing to lose. Moving right along... ladder/ladder is of no moment however, a gaol is a gaol, a prison is a prison. One cannot serve a short gaol term in a prison. That's Penology 101. 🐓    P.S. Welcome back, Frank!]

Oh no, i welcome YOU back. Hope all is well-er.

What is it about this that got you banned on CT? 
 

Never mind. I know. It was an arbitrary and capricious decision by Doug, just like everyone else. 

Thanks for checking in. That didn't actually get me banned. It's the only coin i found on the day of my banning and didn't get to post it. Figured I'd start things off with my "banned dime", boo hoo! I'm not complaining anymore. Coming over here got me connected with you, @Quintus Arrius (where is he, btw? Haven't seen him all day), @The Neophyte Numismatist, @Just Bob, bunch of good people over here I'm happy to know. Only good things to come. 

Thanks again @charley for being my voice over there! Too cool. And I'm hardly esteemed. Steamed, maybe, but you're a far more accomplished and respected member than i ever was. Hope this finds you well.

Ah, they'll miss ya, as soon as you are banned.

That's a fact! There's only one person I'll bow down to in circulation finds, and it's @AmberLarry over on CT. That guy is unreal! I saw he asked about me over on CT, please send him my best. I watch his finds every day and am always blown away. Thanks @amberlarry! Miss you "grandpa"! Hope all that is going well!

okay, so why the heck did you get banned?

That was a joke. You remember, we've spoken on the phone, at length about the ban. I still have no idea. That's right everyone, this guy is a famous author, and we speak on the phone, a dirtbag like me. Yup. Famous. Author.

I'm glad to be back to abuse you

Pile on! Nobody likes me here, if you can believe that! I've got a few loyal fans, but other than my guys, no one says a word.

I haven't been able to see the forum for about a month.

 

It said I was signed in, but when I went to the forums, it told me to sign in.

 

and I couldn't.

 

finally -- just a bit ago,

 

I signed out.

 

Then signed in again--

It worked

Glad you're back!

Just an FYI:

1) it is latter not ladder- you climb on the second one.

2) and latter refers to the second one- paying the fine.

3) to refer to the first one: use: the former.

 

Ain't  'cha glad that I'm back?

That's my guy! I see my old thread is getting some action. Finally!

I am still here.  I have just been traveling and apparently lying low.  I like the circulated finds- keep them coming!

Just glad you are well! 

What does "days won" mean? I was checking to see how many points i have accumulated, oh boy, and i saw I've "won" 4 days. What if i don't want to win? Content has been edited so actual point total can't be seen. 

Man, someone graffito tagged my post! This neighborhood is getting worse and worse. 

Anyone know what that days won is? Thanks! 

I would like to thank @charley over on CT for updating my old thread! It's much appreciated (thank you!). And while it may have found a new temporary home over here on NGC, my heart will always be over on CT. The people over there, the site, i miss it all. While this place is allowing me to post up my finds, the membership is rather blah, other than the good friends here whom i correspond with off board and off site. some so kindly came over here to say hi, and check my new updates, thanks guys. CT is way more lively, not so crypt-like, well, museum-like, if you must. You guys know me, i think I'm a little too loud for this site. Gotta tone it down. So I miss CT dearly. I used to email them once a week to say hello, ask forgiveness. Never heard back, so i stopped. I miss the people. I miss the camaraderie. You see my thread here? Ever hear of the book The Dead Zone? Yeah, he was talking about my NGC thread (no offense! I'm starting to get used to the void). People here are super serious, which i respect, so I'm pretty sure I'm on a bunch of people's ignore button already, which i respect. But their loss. These threads will be prolific in the anals of garbage coin finding history. That's right, i said it, and I'll say it again, the anals of garbage coin finding HISTORY! Literally. Thank you. Mic drop. 

Crud. Is this the right thread? Daily finds? Well, they're both daily finds, but is this the current one? Oh boy, I'm so easily confused. Anyway, i got moved again today, but i insisted on taking a quick peek, and in that time, found this

Don't worry, it won't be on the other thread. 

That's through April 11! That's it! My hand hurts. I'm taking a break. I'm supposed to be at "work".
