Congratulations el heron on your recent acquisition. The Zimbabwe 100 Trillion dollar note is fun to own as a collectible but; the general population of Zimbabwe didn’t have much fun with it. Hopefully, human action will be permitted to restore markets as Mugabe’s reign will very soon end.

I would like to see Ford's Theater on the Lincoln reverse. It’s a more appropriate memorial.

and this....

Obama is the shepherd I did not want.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my faith in the Republican party.
He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line,
I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me..
He has anointed my income with taxes,
My expenses runneth over.
Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will live in a mortgaged home forever.
I am glad I am American,
I am glad that I am free.
But I wish I was a dog ...
And Obama was a tree.

and with that, I'll be *poofin* on outta here....g'nite

TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING,
BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP.
I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS,
I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.

THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED -
THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE,
BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION
WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.

TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION,
THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION.
SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR,
AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.
GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES,
PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.

I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,
'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.
I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY,
WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.
BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES....
HAPPY EATING TO ALL - PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.



MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY,
MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.
MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP.
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS.
MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS!!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL

i noticed the problem on thursday and it has gotten progressively worse until today when search flatlined

course with eBay you cant ever tell for sure, it could be several things happening simultaneously... eBay fixed 1 glitch which caused another that crashed the system... or eBay took auction search down altogether to try and fix it... or none of the above

del PUSCO TERRANO!

COASTAL WEATHER: Today was a really nice bright sunny
early early autumn day. No mucho viento. Very comfortable.

PAPER MONEY CHAT: Another recent acquisition is strictly
for FUN! This note is a Zimbobly note.
At top front is this;
100,000,000,000,000 RESERVE BANK OF ZIMBABWE 100,000,000,000,000. This note measures 75.5mm X 147mm.
At center is a large vignette of the famous MATAPOS ROCKS.
At left front is this;
"I promise to pay the bearer on demand ONE HUNDRED TRILLION
DOLLARS for the Reserve Bank of Zimbabe, Dr. G. Gomo,
Governor, Harare 2008".
At lower right front is serial nr AA0631602.
On back of note at top is this;
"100,000,000,000,000 RESERVE BANK OF ZIMBABE".
At center right on back is vignette of waterfall.
At right on back is vignette of Cape Bufferlo.
At lower right on back is "100,000,000,000,000".
Colors both front and back are very very dark blue-gray,
very dark blue-gray, dark blue-gray, very dark blue,
medium blue, and light blue on light orange red and
light blue underprint. Just for fun because we can!

PAPER MONEY CHAT continued: This could be a good time in
the history of the USSA to start issuing smaller denominations on paper rather than using metals.
The burrerkrats in power at any given time could use the space on a piece of paper money to set forth their views.
Of course they could print various political vignettes.
Possibly could save the taxpayers a bundle of USSA DOLLARS.
YEEHAW!

Lucky sellers.. Ebay will refund all listing and selling fees because buyers cannot search and bid on items. Past the word to the lucky sellers who have items listed during this outage. Bad news, sellers have to take the loss and cannot cancel sales that have a bid and less than 12 hours left.

I liked the reverse design with the Capitol best and then the one with the eagle. The one chosen would personally be my least favorite of the designs, but that just be me. Course, anything will be a refreshing change from the Memorial on there. 50 years is a plenty for one design. JMO

Actually, it might be a good idear to have the Cent pieces printed on heavy paper. The current Cent piece has little
value and perhaps it would be a cost savings for the
gummint to print 1 Cent pieces on paper. An opinion.

PAPER MONEY CHAT: This next billete de emergencia was
acquired recently because it is a:
"SCHUTZVERBANDFURHANDELUNDGEWERKE GUTSCHEIN".
We know this because it sayeth so across front of note
that measures 72mm X 103mm. Actually on a neat ribbon
like design in black with white lettering it sayeth:
"GUTSCHEIN d. SCHUTZVERBANDfurHANDELundGWERBEWITTENBERGE".
(This is self essplanatory, however, in a hollerday
gesture of friendship el heron offers the translation:
"ASSOCIATION for the PROTECTION of TRADE and INDUSTRY
WITTENBERGE".
This Association is somewhat similar to what we call the chamber of commerce. The WITTENBERGE is the STADT.
On front of this note at upper left is a large 50 and
at right is "No:22842" and a large PF.
At center is large vignette of STADT WAPPEN (CITY COAT OF
ARMS). This coat of arms is a neat design and printed in
colors red, medium brown, white, light yellow, medium
blue/gray, very dark gray, and reddish-orange.
On back is a vignette showing large building with the title
"LYCEUM". This note was not acquired for this vignette.
This note was acquired for the beautiful coat of arms on
front. At bottom of back is states:
50PF WITTENBERGE 50PF. This statement is in dark red on
black underprint.
On front at bottom is sayeth "GEBR. PARCUS MUNCHEN -
OFFSET DRUCKEREI". A translation: Parcus Brothers Offset
Printing Co. Munich.
This note is printed on the rippled style heavy paper
used for the REICHSBANKNOTEN prior to WWI. Another neat
coat of arms Gutschein added to the personal accumulation.
YEEHAW!

GOOD MORNING Ancien Hahonian. el heron notices that hardly
ever do anyone say good morning to Ancien Hahonian or even
make notice of his daily greeting. This is no way to treat
the possible next SABM of this chatting place. Due to the

Smokey, most of that stuff was the dreaded kudzo which is now dormant but come next Spring I'm gonna have to be Mr. Johnny on the Spot with my roundup and grubbing hoe to keep it down.. We have down here what's called (or I call it anyhow) a wire briar vine which is a very thin and very thorny vine (some folks call bamboo) that has a sweet potato looking root on it. I dug some clusters that were big as a wheel barrow!! Between it and the kudzoo I'm probably gonna have a time keeping the house away from the vines again, course, being that it has a fenced in yard, I just might buy a few goats and put in there temporarily until it all gets gone if'n I can get the city's blessings to do such..

Well, I'm off into the wild blue yonder! Supposed to be raining this weekend so gotta get done what I can while I can...bbl

“It is always important to remember that the shifting value of the comparative currency also shifts the value of gold when expressed in that currency.”

Was that some more from Merrill ???

The most important attribute of GOLD as money is that its value doesn’t “shift”. It would be foolish to believe that it does. Government’s henchmen advocate that it does. Any tangible asset will shift in value when “expressed” in any fiat currency!

We have one more territory to be released this month and then this quarter program is over.

My recent order of rolls arrived today. I’m considering the Intercept Shield Update Page A0081 to add territories to the State album but, I’m not sure how to do the install. The hardware ends are not exposed like on a Dansco. It all looks to well sealed to unhinge without damaging the product. Maybe the update page is designed to be loose?

COASTAL WEATHER: this morning we have bright sunshine,
no mucho viento, dry, comfortable temperature.

COASTAL WEATHER continued because YOUSE voted this
el SEGMENTO NUMERO UNO POR SEGURO ES VERDAD!
Yestiddy was similar to Tuesday except the temperature
was only 68F. It appears that we are now beginning early
early autumn. However, some years this will remain same
until mid Yanuwary. YEEHAW!

PAPER MONEY CHAT: As some of youse hysterianos and billetes de emergencias aficionados knows, there were billetes de
emergencias issued by authorities (self appointed and
or locally authorized either by elected officials or
self appointed officials and also self appointed war-lords).

This recently acquired GUTSCHEIN was issued by STADT
HADERSLEV (this is Danish langwich. On back of this
Gutschein it is also referred to as STADT HADERSLEBEN).
On the front of this billete de emergencia that measures
49mm X 70mm we see a large 10PF at upper left hand corner
and a large 10PF at upper right hand corner. These are in
color black. At center of note in round vignette is
a art-deco type drawring of a pier out over wasser. At
top of this vignette is "PLEBISCIT-SLESVIG".
As some of youse WWI hysterians knows, after WWI there
was a plebiscite in the Chermanian Province of Schleszwick.
The plebiscite commission broke this area into 3 divisions
and conducted a plebiscite in the northern portion and in
the central portion. This occurred 1920. In the northern
portion the folks voted to be attached to DANEMARK.
In the central portion the folks voted to remain with
CHERMANIA. There was no vote in the southern portion because
the commission figured what the outcome would be. Smart
of them burrerkrats ey?
Front of note continued: At left side is MAGISTRAT with
two signatures below. At right side is BYRAAD with two
signatures below (Chermanian and Danish).
At bottom of front is a neatly designed band in yellow
with black printing of "1920 HADERSLEV 1920".
Back of note has NO vignette. It is strictly 'business' with
this at top 'GUTSCHEIN NR. 170811'.
Below this is "der Stadt Hadersleben".
Below this at left are the terms of use in Chermanian
and at right are the terms of use in Danish.
Below the design is printers name of "Hartung & Co. Hamburg"
and el heron believes we have encountered this name on
other KRIEGSGUTSCHEIN and KRIEGSNOTGELD and GUTSCHEIN and
NOTGELD and perhaps even KREIGSOFIZIERGEFANGENENLAGERNOTEN.

This note grades UNC. A neat Danemark Gutschein por seguro!

THE MARKETING & BUSINESS STRATEGY OF OUR MOST RESPECTED
HOST: If'n youse was reading the WSJ within the past
several muntz youse would know that our Most Respected
& Gracious Host has a new marketing and business strategy.
The new strategy is to have MORE fixed pricing bizness.
In addition, the strategy includes having MORE larger
seller companies and biznesses offering fixed price
merchandise. Although our MOST GRACIOUS OF HOSTS wants
the auction biz also, the fixed pricing biz is more
desireable to the corporate management. For whatever
reasons, the management has decided to opt for more fixed
pricing format. Whether this strategy will be a winning
strategy remains to be seen. All changes in bizness
strategies have to be tried and proven. It is the
capitalistic way...!

I was a production coordinator . I did ALL by myself.. today there are coordinators for travel .. for locations .. and it goes on and on .. then they lay off the HIRED paid people and hire two to take over 'that job' .. hmmm

Motion Pix Hospital & LONG term assisted living shut down due to lack of funds ... gee, head ADMINISTRATOR is getting 900k a year . for WHAT? .. I gave them a LOT of money yearly as I always wanted to 'go there when it was time' .. now I cannot .. and I do NOT send them a dime! ..

Koin .. I agree ..

Just found someone who is insisting on INVOICE first (hmmmm .. personal check? . Money Order?) .. $1 handling fee .. 80¢ DC (paypal insists BUYER PAYS for that .. as well as insurance) .. I wont be buying from that seller .. AND could be shilling too .. I am watching .. I guess he/she does NOT know that insurance etc. is for seller's protection ..

AGAIN . another costly thing besides %s eBay/PP charge .. lucky to make a few dollars . I used to sell things for .99 . we had a fun thing once a month .. and I sold other stuff for same . now . NO way .. Biz channel was saying eBay is in trouble .. forget why .. don't care .. will list when I feel like it .. Might be cheaper to open place elsewhere .. Ruby?

One thing I haven't ever been able to figure out about ebay is why they think raising the seller fees and giving the seller the shaft on other matters is supposed to make their company stronger and their stock go up in value. Don't they realize that if they keep shafting the sellers that eventually they'll run out of sellers? I mean, raising the fees again might make them a temporary increase in revenue, but eventually as people quit selling because of fee increases and not being able to leave negative feedback when they get a bad buyer they'd end up losing more than if they were equally nice to buyer and seller and maybe tried lowering their fees for a change and bring back the feedback both ways. Better to sell 100 apples at 5 cents and make 2 cents each than to sell 10 apples at 10 cents and make 8 cents profit each. (I'm figuring in the later scenerio in that they'd make a little more profit on their apples by not having to use up so much band width advertising them). I dunno, but seems to me that ebay would be twice as big a giant if they would lower their fees some instead of trying to keep raising them, but I guess they got 100 people making $150,000 a year telling them that they should sell their apples at 10 cents....lol

actually slightly less if I consider all the costs that you were

I had your coins evaluated and they would pay just a few dollars more

If it's all modern gold coins then probably melt value is about what you are going to get. That's what I sold a modern coin for and I've heard it time and again in here from people who know a lot more than I do about coins that for "most" modern coins that's about all you'll get.

Anyhow, it's toodle doo for me for a while....*poof*

Koin . One other thing . His G'pa in Italy kept giving the 'kids' gold coins .. I do NOT know what they are . . some from MEXICO . large .. & small . Switzerland .. UK .. and coin guy ONLY is offering USD $1500 .. soooo BET those are worth MORE here .. told him to take some photos and send to me .. He did collect coins . no more and has little knowledge (like me:) of what is what .. BUT say you have a (and he does) $20 PESO GOLD coin .. melt value is NOTHING .. why a coin dealer does that . I should have asked 'what does he sell in there?' .. I tend to doubt he melts them down! .. GOOD ole Italy:(

Koin:)

YES .. My Niece/Nephew born & brought up in Milano .. AND they must fill out 'manifest/customs' thing .. now they each are dual citizens .. I am (IF I remember) going to ask him today IF he enters on his Italian Passport .. rather than USA .. is there a difference ..

He went to a coin store the other day and ALL they would give him (how he got the coins . dunno.nor does he and I KNOW he did NOT 'steal' them) .. Probably I hid them in place I hide stuff for him and he thought? .. We are talking about 10-12k TODAY's selling stuff . I paid about $2300 for them . so was thinking that he could do that .. BUT he has SO much to do there ..to hire a courier is VERY expensive .. I told him IF he comes (he might:) .. was just here few months ago .. had hidden the gold proof coins years ago .. just found them . He must NOT hide them .. perhaps in shaving kit . told him to carry on plane OR take a ship:) .. NAW . HE must tell what he is bringing in . now a year or so ago . he bought a $3500 MAC for a guy who asked him do . asked 'how did you do that?' . did not declare it . BUT he just carried the 'puter on plane? .. and he cannot remove the boxes/papers from the PROOF stuff he has .. I dunno .. he has ONLY had customs check stuff ONE time in all his 32 (well as a baby :) he has come here .. and these are from AFTER 9/11 .. 2005 & 2007 .. Unfortunately I am not allowed to fly over an hour or two at MOST .. no way I can go there .. ALL will belong to him & his sister eventually... BUT over there the coin shop told him 'pay only for gold value' .. NOT good! . when I KNOW approximately what they are worth .. a LOT more than melt value for an hounce .. So, YES .. trying to get coins worth more here than there! . I did find ebay.it but I cannot understand ALL that it says .. EUROS .. ship to? . how? ..

98% of the replaced wood was the horizontal boards.
They're the ones that catch the worst of the sun.
The vertical structure (joists, posts, etc.) was almost perfectly good.

Sudz.....maybe I read your posts too fast but I'm trying to figure out just what you are trying to do. Are you trying to get gold coins that have more numismatic value than gold value from Italy back to the USA? Are you wanting someone to bring them for you as on a plane? If it's not that much value but worthwhile, you might simply have whoever's bringing them buy a nice briefcase and put them in there and bring them as carry on luggage. Seems there's been many a valuable coin brought across this country that way but not sure if that would be a good means to bring them across the ocean with having to open up the briefcase several times during customs searches for them to inspect what's in there. You never know who might be watching behind you that would be next in line.

DC...you could just paint it a HOT PINK color...then it'd all match up just fine for you! LMAO! Nah, seriously, if you want it to match up and it's the same kind of wood then I myself probably would just not put any kind of sealer on any of it right now and let BIG RED (the sun) have at it for about a year. I imagine in that much time that the boards would probably match up much better and then you might seal it all at the same time. I'm assuming that the builders just redid part of the deck and reused some parts that were still good and solid?? Looks nice btw..

DC: I don't care one way or the other. I prefer links and then if I don't care to look, I don't need to open the link, but as I said, I don't care.

A lot of the issues regarding pics have been resolved. In 1998, there was dial-up, there was slower processing, there was smaller RAM, there was smaller memory and there wasn't as many Stevens tubes to route the material to a person's home.

There is a product, I forget the name, to artificially treat wood to produce instant aging (toning). But I think this artificial toning is quite toxic. I only used it once, decades ago. It may have been removed from the market.

Sudz: This week is the same as last week. The Euro hit 1.50US on Monday and then started backing away. The USD started rising during the week, pushing gold in USDs down. The EEC has said that a Euro above 1.50US is not to their liking at this time.

In actuality, gold is up today, so far, across the pond, in both Euros and Pounds. Today's drop in USD gold values is due to the USD rising against other currencies.

It is always important to remember that the shifting value of the comparative currency also shifts the value of gold when expressed in that currency.

Morning, all.

#1 - Getting closer to listing some coins on eBay for the first time in a while.
It's the sort of stuff that dealers at shows don't want to be bothered with but eBay buyer will love (I hope).
For the first time I'm going to HAVE to depend on eBay's postage calculator for some of the stuff. Because of weight I'll have to use Priority Mail and that differs depending on the ZIP I'd be mailing to. I don't look forward to this, but ...

#2 - The deck is done. The guys did a good job.
But now a new problem. Trying to get it to look the same (new wood vs. old wood).
See what I mean:
Deck
And deck

#3 - Are any of you still connected to the Internet with dial-up?
The reason I ask is that I would prefer to post images rather than links.
If no one (or almost no one) has dial-up, then I'll start doing pics instead of links.

Hump, here in the city they don't break it down as much for us here as they do there..
In the country we have to pay a landfill to get rid of my trash, I can take it to the dump or pay a enterprising individual to pick it up and take it to the dump for me..
Posted by   ( ) on Nov-18-09 at 19:53:13 PST   Listings
That's a catch 22 Smokey. If'n I raise the rent, people will move as many are struggling right now to pay the little that I charge. I dunno, but it shirley seems like we're getting double, if not triple duked on this ambulance thing. We have to pay for the buildings, salaries utilities and such with our property taxes. Then they add this $100 a year fee. And on top of that, if you get sick and need an ambulance then you have to pay big bucks to use it?? Something just don't quite seem right about all of that?? What you think?? Does any of the rest of you have all these extra "fees" on your tax bill each year. We have ambulance, landfill, and polycart fees to pay in addition to our ad velorum taxes.
Posted by   ( ) on Nov-18-09 at 18:55:27 PST   Listings
Hump, it makes no sense, I don't see how can they justify that kind of a increase, sounds like they are already are going to lower the rates After All of you folks gripe enough, I'm thinking they are thinking ( and I might be dead wrong ) well we'll say double, take a 25% increase and everyone is happy..
Of course you can pass any additional costs onto the renters, you have to pay extra for Your residence, why should they be any different ? eh ? what ?
Posted by   ( ) on Nov-18-09 at 18:41:32 PST   Listings
That's good Smokey....just hang in there. Open up a can of whoop sss on it if'n ya have to.

Yea, the one fee that really bothers me personally the most is the ambulance fee which went from $50 per address to $100 per address. For what?? Don't people have to pay to use the confounded ambulance in the first place?? For me, that one fee (tax) is $5200 per year, double from the $2600 I paid last year for that fee which was too much to begin with. Something tells me that I won't be the only one raising heck with that new round of fee increases. There quite a few people on fixed incomes who that is going to be a large chunk of extra change to have to pay.

Hope you get to feeling better Big Smokey! That's one thing I don't need right now (or anytime for that matter)....the flu......Lately my health seems to be better than ever and I even feel like a 20 year old it seems. Been working long days and into the night, course, got to work while it's cool cause when the hot weather comes back it just makes me melt for some reason and I don't get so much work done then....

Got a shocker today when I read our local paper. Our county isn't going up in taxes this year. I thought hurrah!!! Then I saw the part about not going up on taxes just going to double the fees they charge and in some cases charge up to 700% more!! And I just thought I was about to see daylight at the end of the tunnel! LOL! Oh well, I guess it's time to start firing off letters to our local paper and attending the council meetings again to try to see if I can get them to back off some more. I guess noone told them we were in the middle of a deep recession..

Sudz, Yep, being bi-polar is a very bad situation to be in, my Mom and my Daughter are both bi-polar, and I try to keep a bit of a eye on both when possible, I've never been diagnosed as bi-polar myself and I'm 99.9% sure that I'm not ( But don't ask anyone in here if they think I am ), I think I'm just part nuts is all.. relatively harmless of course!!! BUT WHOOHOO!!!!! I'M CUCKOO COCOA FOR COCOA PUFFS!!! ;O)

Smokey .. should add . we broke up WAY before he decided to end it .. sooooo .. I got a call .. I went to the services/burial .. and MISS him SOOOO very much .. but had nothing to do with me or us .. when someone is bipolar (as he was) something can trigger horrible things .. I had NOT spoken to him in years .. we lost out friendship of all those years . think I missed that MORE than anything . but, that's life .. we all do what we want to do .. good or bad . hopefully, good! .. BUT . I continue to be SUDS and ring he gave me is on my finger .. rarely is NOT ..

Now Numismatics ? . IF in ITALY they pay for price gold (or whatever) is selling for and that is IT . wouldn't it be better to list on eBay or find a private buyer? .. I absolutely will NOT take troy ounce for what is in Italy .. actually, it will belong to my niece & nephew . but rather get the better price as I think I or he could by listing? .. EURO is up & USD down .. Gold up .
