pulling the pin

ausjack · October 10, 2013, 03:26:49 PM

well I've been thinking about pulling the pin on collecting for a while now as it's only costing me money that I can't afford any more as there's bills to pay and thing I'd like to do but can't as my money is tied up and with no one wanting to buy anything and the fact that there's not any money in it unless you can play big time and this I can't keep up with so it's really starting to depress me..maybe I just need a few years away again but it does break the boardom..I'm a lost soul, due to the liberal government

you don't really have to have money to collect circulating coins so if you do need a break from it just collect the circulating ones but I suppose its all up to you.

Jesus AJ you are down in the dumps Mate.
Don't worry about what everyone else is doing and just stick to collecting what YOU like.
the possibility of making a quid collecting (For Me) is simply a Pipe Dream and I suspect many other collectors know the reality that collecting isn't a good investment model, There are FAR better avenues of investment than coins.
Most of us collect simply because we get immense pleasure out of it and when it comes time for us to sell some of our "Babies" breaking even is about the best we can wish for :ok:

So cheer up old Mate, Go down the street and kick the crap out of that annoying barking dog that has been giving you the willies That will put a smile on your dial :diablo::laugh2:

ausjack · October 10, 2013, 04:02:59 PM

thank you both, it's the fact that I am on DSP now and that's sweet FA and when you take that I get say like today where I got $200 in 50's and $100 in 20's but now I have about a 1/4 of most forntnightly incomes to try and get it sorted and cashed in so I can live so I have to try and do it quick and just having so much money sitting here isn't good even though most didn't cost me anything as they're from circulation so it's all been taking it toll and being in a bit of pain doesn't help either sorry but I'll be alright..and for christ sake don't tempt me trout as I get in enough trouble as it is..haven't had a visit from the boys in blue for ages :laugh2: and happy not to get any for a while either

cool, I could really do with that thanks Kel so I best be gettin the spare room ready

Sorry all I'm just sick of being kicked around for the last ten years and treated like a bit of dirt and to think I signed up to protect this country but it's not the same place any more

keldaw · October 10, 2013, 07:19:02 PM

A J , spare room , ok , I can come down in the camery , or I can come down in my ute with the slide on camper no problems ,or just for fun I can come down on the greyhound bus or even by train it does not matter , we just like to try difference ways of getting around as long as we are well enough to get away . it,s all good ,in December we are going to port douglas on the dawn princess ,. but the way we are now we are not planning anything for next year yet .if we come down mid week then we can all go to the markets on the sunday at coff,s if you like , we will work it out when we get there .

take care and I will contact you again to give you dates and see if they are suitable for you and your mum .. ,, kel ,,

ah aj if we go fishing and stuff your not bringing your mummy are ya :/

robbiegal · October 10, 2013, 08:27:59 PM

when a person has been sick and in considerable pain for well over a month

well, it's natural to feel like crap and quite acceptable to be a downright miserable sod

your visitors will cheer you up and this will be something to look forward to as well (esp. the fishing trip without mum *giggle*)

ausjack · October 10, 2013, 09:09:20 PM

:give_heart: you lot are bad but I love you so much and thank you all very much for tolerating me, I really do appreciate it :hi:

:laugh2: I think I just wet my self laughing so hard..nah no mum AC, we live in the same house but I've always done my own thing even as a kid..so yes I've been called a bastard child..then just got bigger..one aunty still says she should have drowned me at birth :mocking: and my nick name Jack come from when I was really little and I think it might have been my third nick name as the first two were fly feet be cause I use to escape all the time and lockness monster but Jack come from Jack the ripper and apparently I seen some show and started running around saying I was Jack the rippy and that one has stuck for over 40 years..and they are just a few names I've been called..before ya start, shut ya face belly and trout

PM AJ in a minute

robbiegal · October 10, 2013, 09:24:38 PM

"fly feet"

I like that one the best

Basil · October 10, 2013, 09:27:33 PM

I don't think kicking the dog is a good idea.

Perhaps a bit of bird watching to soothe the soul.

Then again a nice walk in the bush is probaly best.

All the best AJ,you'll bounce back.

ausjack · October 10, 2013, 09:45:28 PM

HAHA thanks Basil :winkextra:

oh and don't worry about the old girl Kel, she'll do asshe's told..hold on a sec, yes mummy..no mummy..ok mummy..all good now that she's been told today :laugh2:

I'll have to make a list one day as I've had so many nick names it's not funny, beau, aussie, mossie, Joc, ding, big bird, seal so there's a few so if anyone calls me Jayson I know they either don't know me or I'm in big trouble :winkextra:

ausjack · October 10, 2013, 10:50:35 PM

HAHA no worries there Kel as they're about the size of a finger nail at the moment and I wouldn't be able to get them to trout due to the stupid customs and not sure if AC eats them but I know belly does as he's had an order in for a while now haven't ya mate :winkextra:

I think you'll get here before AC and I'll take you up on that offer 'cause I want to get up there real soon and would like to catch up with some others from up that way as well :good:
