LOL you rock!!!
Very nicely typed

 

well believe it or not I scored a 7, but that poll was too black or white to actually get legitimate answers...
I really can't believe that this has gone as far as it has, but I will put my two cents in. I am by no mean rich, middle class, top tier or any other classification that doesn't include the word blue collar, or hard working. I came from a middle class family, and had every chance to go to college, get a degree, get a job that didn't require I do physical labor every day, but I chose to do what others avoided, ditch school, get loaded...and I do regret it every day. I don't however blame others with more than me...
I decided a few years ago to do what I can to turn my life for the better, so I went to school to get licensed and certified in my trade so that I can make enough to survive. And that is pretty much all I do: survive. I don't own a business, house, new car, boat ,flat screen or any other high ticket item. I eat 99% of my meals at home, leftovers for lunch, store brand groceries. All this so I can do one thing that makes me happy...collecting coins. Until recently I like others collected the majority of my coins from circulation or paid very little for circulated coins. Now I save all the money I can so I can buy myself some nicer coins that I enjoy. I really don't care if everyone else on this forum is stinkin rich, they have always been helpful and I have learned tons..
P.s. blaming everyone else for your shortcomings is the true sign of a loser. winners take difficult situations and work to make them better.

 

I scored 27 on your little poll. Tried as hard as I could to get to Scrooge status, just missed. I'm surprised your not still calling me Thurston TommyBoy.

 

Heh, I took that quiz, even though it was a religious-based site, and it was an odd mix of forced choice and not (in other words, there's little validity).
Scored 21

Anyway, somehow this thread went from people on another forum possibly attacking CT, to about greed?

 

My score was 9 but that dosen't change the fact that I'm really greedy.

 

I got a 13 in the poll, although I do agree, the poll was rather 'black and white'. Didn't really solve anything.
Sorry Tom, got anything else to better your argument? Using that poll seemed to have put you at a disadvantage, never in your wildest dreams would you think that one person on CoinTalk were to be less greedy than you...

 

Well that was a nice diversion there Tom C.

What do you think of the polls compared to your comments now?

 

All I am going to say is that without the Pool Boy, Gardner, Groom, Jockey, Stable boy, Farrier, Chef, Sous Chef, Butler, Upstairs Maid, Masseuse, Chaffeur, Pilot, Skipper, Deck Hands, Accountant, Publicist, Body Guards and Entourage, life is so much simpler. And it's a lot easier to meet payroll. But one does need to retain the Tennis Pro, don't you agree ?

 

I got a 37 . That's the highest, right? So I win.

I did feel kind of bad trying to get a higher bonus after my company did worse, but that's my only job (Besides Coin Dealer of course), and I have to get as much money as I can for that 1933 Double Eagle.

 

i got a 6, but there needed to be more give in the answers. i didn't totally agree with some of the choices.

 

Bah ! Humbug !!

I knew I should have said I would have stolen change from a blind man's cup.

 

I got a 10...

Speedy

 

Coin Talk rules!

I love coin talk because even ignorant coin collectors like myself, can read, learn, and even comment on things that are discussed on this site.

You guys rule!

 

Crazy thread. I only got a 17. I was trying really hard to get a higher score but was too busy counting all my money.

 

You might want to talk to your optometrist about new glasses.

BTW Kid you not -

 

That's what your staff is for. Silly you, doing it yourself, tells me you are nouveau riche. Remember we do nothing. I certainly hope you had your assistant type your reply.

 

There is something to be said for the access to the level of experts on CU that I haven't noticed on here. I remember I had a question on date placement for the obverse die on a proof like double eagle trying to check it against the Proof die. I got a PM from the guy who wrote the book on it. Would that happen here?
