What the pluck!
Maybe you had a typing malfunction and meant "ones with feathers".
Off course pet parrots and such do have a habit of self plucking.
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

My out of control plant hobby,this is just one greenhouse so I've had to put some of the
larger plants on my back lawn.Selling them is a great way to get some pocketmoney to
buy coins

It\'s not about who you know it\'s about what you know

Should be corrected as ONES with feathers. Thats what happen when you rely on auto correct function on a mobile phone. Thank    you very much Jeff for proof reading my posts and correcting it. Appreciate it. :wavemulticolor:

Whenever you're heading this way you know you're always welcome. (Have the majority of my "collections" packed up for the ..... one day it will happen ..... eventual move). There are still the remaining dozen folders from DR3 though to YSDS in the bookshelf though.

:yahoo: now don't tell anyone what it was really like :winkextra: we not in public anyway :mocking:

Yes most of my collection are in big plastic tubs. I have from the first set up until about 3 or 4 years ago and there's only a couple of cards I'm missing for full sets. I do have a complete set of 2009 NRL cards so hopefully one day that might be worth a few bucks as a couple of them have retired but the cards just right up in value once the person dies.

I also like pulling wings off flies :mocking: Nah I'm just playing :D

I was thinking about filling up the patio with plants for a bit of pocket money But the Missus wouldn't have a bar of it and she recons that the coppers wouldn't be too pleased with me either :angel:

Jeez, where to start? ... Lets try chronologically perhaps.

Science-Fiction (too many paperbacks to count, and many Gb of eBooks in various formats I never have time to read)
Stamps (used to dumpster-dive at Melbourne Uni on weekends, before actual dumpsters replaced those hessian bales)
Photography (grew up in a darkroom and behind the counter)
Trains
Model aircraft, then cars, tanks, structures...
Flying (got too dear in 1974 thanks to OPEC... price went up to $24/hr from $15)
Computers (building, operating, programming, then systems and networks, long before it became IT)
Film (making, exhibiting, then much later renting out videos before that went the way of the Dodo)
Computer Games (writing, now playing, mostly old stuff like C&C Generals and Minecraft)
Motorcycles (that ended when I inherited an instant family, then the mate who borrowed my Suzy died of Leukaemia while rebuilding it)
Mud-brick building (long story)
AD&D
Trading Cards (started by selling them in my shops, went from there. Ended up in CCG's and in charge of running Tournaments in Aust/NZ for a variety of card and miniatures games)
Coins
Succulents (got my first one, oddly enough at MNS, on one of our 'any hobby other than Numismatics' nights)

Also in there somewhere are women (great fun, short term.. too old to put up with the bullshit now though) and organising stuff (latest project is this year's Confest, where I seem to be collecting jobs on a daily basis. Can you imagine me in a Chief Fire Warden hat? Nah, me neither... :dodgy:)

Oh yeah, and riding my eBike any chance I get when the weather is agreeable.

I want to get into making my own plastics, and I'm starting by collecting all the HDPE that crosses my path, since that's easiest to work with. Tried making HDPE sheets out of supermarket bags with mixed success, and I can see a heat press in my future. ;)

Oh, and tomorrow I'm going to have a go at air-layering our fig tree, just for fun. Spent today stripping leaves and wrapping it in bird netting.
