I have been home for 3 days and I have noticed that this site has stagnated.
Markn and PP have a perfectly good server in place for our use, Why not take advantage of that.
So come on you "soft shells" get out in the sun " Harden Up"and post away and shine :).
make this place rock with ideas,concepts,facts and good old debates (Ya gotta love a good in depth debate), Or simply just post your own numismatic ideals and thoughts.
Never let "Fear" get in the way of a post, There may be a few "Experts" on this site but don't let that deter/phase you.
This is an Australian site and the concept of Aussies not having an opinion or a say (right or wrong) is completely alian to me.
So come on you Buggers post away and keep this site alive
I know with Xmas and all the madness I have had to wait till late to log on- love catching up with all the news (any news). !
We're all still alive and kicking, :shok: it's just a quiet time of year and many people have lots of other things to do. :whistle2: :winkextra: Be patient Little Grasshopper. :blum3:
So far today, 14 members have already visited, and yesterday in addition to those 14, (who I assume all visited yesterday as well), there were 29 others who logged on, so our heartbeat is quite strong. :yahoo:
I agree it is a quiet time of year. I'm not watching eBay this year but the numbers of active listings always takes a huge dive this time of year. Everyone is sitting back and relaxing with their families and it's the time of year to get off the computer and out into the Aussie sun (albeit covered in sunscreen).
I check in on a regular basis, haven't bought anything lately.
Usually don't this time of year.
Well I've got a question which I might as well ask here: aside from imperial half sovereigns and sovereigns and coins for New Guinea by the Melbourne Mint, did the Sydney, Melbourne or Perth mints strike any coins for other countries?
I try and visit most days and I have been busy on EBay with one sale under my belt and two up for grabs as I type.
Both coins are RAM error coins, a 2000 Mule and a 2001 COF Upset.
Go for it.
I'll do what I want, see :big_boss:
I'll swap my troubles for any ones..keep in mind I'm up the duff again :laugh2: I see some of you looking a little like this :shock: and others like this :huh: as yes I'm a bloke, but no I'm not really having a baby :mocking:
I say that 'cause they say having kidney stones is the closest pain a bloke will have to what the ladies go through when giving birth..so yes girls I know what it's like :winkextra:
So that's my excuse and I'm stickin to it :)
Hey, I've done both of those things, had babies, and had a kidney stone - Give me childbirth any day!! :yahoo:
A stone approx 2mm x 7mm put me in hospital 3 times as it was passing through the ureter sideways, and took over 3 mths to finally exit my system, but it must have eventually flipped end on, fortunately for me, as I never felt it go. I was told at the time that Renal Colic is the most severe pain the body can generate/tolerate. Pethidine rocks!!
Nancy, no wonder you have so much patience with us- waiting 3 months for an annoyance to disappear and 9 months for an annoyance to arrive.!!:idea:
:laugh2: not that it's funny but thanks nancy as I hear ya mate..loud and clear. I got it for my first one but down here they don't give pethidine any more, apparently it's too good, believe it or not..what a joke :cray: But my second one was the best so far as I passed a 12mm .400 grams (half the size of a five cent and shaped like a teardrop) and everyone at the hospital here were very impressed to say the least :laugh2: so I take my hat of to you nancy :hi: Sorry for going :off_topic: but I appreciate that other can understand what it's like..thank you :thank_you:
littefish and nancy....all I can say is OUCH. My eyes are watering.
:shock:
:give_rose: Get well soon little buddy :friends:
HAHAHAHA, you think it brings a tear to yours mark..try passing the bloody thing :heat: you sort of feel like this poor horse :dead_horse: but as soon as it goes ya like :yahoo: you little ripper
Thanks AC :give_heart: it's ok until they move around and then it's lay down and rest til they settle, but I'm feeling a bit better so I thought I'd come stir you lot up, and check your post box in a few days mate, I posted yesterday arvo :winkextra: actually better give it a week as it is auspost :mocking:
Ouch guys - you have understanding too as i get the same problem- the only thing that seems to have helped prevent them is reducing salt and keeping up the fluid intake - water of course.
I have never had this problem (must be all the beer I drink).
I imagine these little buggers would bring a tear to supermans eyes, ouch.
I had a baby without pain relief so I reckon I understand.
