    Hello everyone,
    Welcome to my 68,000 likes celebration thread.

    Thanks to @KBBPLL for that like a few days ago.

    I'm currently in Puerto Rico taking care of my mom's house and also taking care of legal papers for her. We started with treatment to the roof. 3 layers of a new product which is a membrane and lasts a decade longer that most products available.

    I knew my 68,000th like would occur when I was here so I brought with me a coin from my collection I haven't shared until now.

    This was actually purchased here in Puerto Rico a few years ago.

    Congratulations on hitting 68,000 likes. If you would stop posting interesting stuff all the time you wouldn't have half as many likes.

    Cal is my uncle. Lol, I saw it and it cried out to me so I bought it. There were a number of baseball stars to sign this coin but I think Cal is the best of them. As you know he played for the Orioles and my sister was the executive secretary to the Vice President of the ball club before her death.

    How on earth do you determine who gave you a certain numerical "like"? I gave you another one. I like giving likes.

    When I get close to the magic number I keep track of the members who give me the likes.
    So when I was at 67,995 I just waited for the next 5 likes. You were the one who did it!

    I have tracked it many times ;)

    I have 60+ past threads celebrating the occasion :rolleyes:

    I might hit 5000 in about a year. I didn't even know where to find that until now! Anyway, cool coin. That's the one that is very convex like a baseball, right?

    That is correct. It is curved like a baseball glove.

    Hope that membrane works out... I worked at a plant that put down a membrane some years ago and with the first stiff wind, it started ballooning up and threatened to either come off or take the roof with it!!!
