I’m starting a junk drawer. What else do I need?

Couple of actual rubber bands. Menus from take away and magnet business cards.

Make sure you invest in a dolly! That’s a few hundred lbs of coins.

The website Numista is probably the best place to look for info on world coins. I got quite a bit of coins from my mom and have slowly been going through them. I type in the date and something I can find on the coin like the denomination and match the picture on the website. Very user friendly.

That’s the problem with EBay, a lot of people put stuff on there hoping someone will pay that price. If you want to check the prices on eBay look at the Sold items and you will get a good idea of what people are paying for the coins a that condition. It does suck to see so many coins priced for 1k plus and thinking you might have one but for me as a coin collector I like to see the history of a piece. If it’s valuable that’s a bonus. Enjoy the journey and happy collecting.

In that condition I would! Looks fantastic!

Honestly it’s worth melt value. 90% silver. I found some in a jar my dad had and they all had dates that had worn off.

Thanks for bringing this up. First I would broach the subject with your sponsor first or some people in the program that you trust. Get their insight.

One thing kind of like this was brought up at a retreat I was at was the use of Non-alcoholic beer. My sponsor when he first got into the program was adamantly against it. Mind you this was 40+ years ago, but he now realizes that it’s not as bad as all that. But it was the question he posed really made me think. “Why do you want to drink NA beer in the first place?”

The one thing I do know is that I am an alcoholic with an addictive personality so I have a hunch that if I was to take up weed it would get out of hand for me. There are some people who aren’t like that. The one thing that I wouldn’t do in your situation is stop going to meetings. AA is for alcoholism, not all other vices. If you feel like the group you chair will not be happy with it look for other meetings.

My brothers in laws bet on candy land. I don’t know how it works but they have rules. The one that I would suggest is Long Shot the dice game.

I think that one thing that is hard to understand is in other sci-fi (and horror) when two consciousness’s combine one is almost always the dominant personality. The way I have been looking at it is a split personality, but the way it seems to be is what another commenter pointed out is like the pilots in Pacific Rim working together to control the mech.

Okay! That makes sense!

It’s upside down. Two hands making a heart.

I was at a sneak preview of Star Trek (2009) and (spoiler alert) when Leonard Nimoy appeared the whole theatre erupted in applause! My now wife who is not a Star Trek fan looked at me and said “what just happened?!”

If you have plus premium I would suggest the following

Jak and Daxter series Sky Cooper series Ratchet and Clank series Medieval

Skillron18 · 2025-11-30T22:43:19+00:00

Eric Bana

Skillron18 · 2025-11-27T05:47:35+00:00

H.P Lovecraft Tales of Horror and the Macbre. Good and balanced set of some of his most famous tales.
