Another boring day on the "North Coast" - was beautiful early in the day then the wind shifted and started blowing over Lake Erie dropping the temps from mid 60's into the mid 40's so searched through a "few" rolls of quarters while watching college basketball tournaments. Plus had to bury "Margret", the tall duck in my avatar this afternoon as she was battling a blood disease that atrophied her muscles and it finally reached her heart and it gave out - tried everything my veterinarian prescribed and she did last for almost a year. But here's a few pics of quarter roll searching finds today just to get my mind off her for awhile. The dates of the quarters found with "fun stuff" are color coordinated (arrows) so you can tell which date (line underneath) went to which reverse, Blue arrows quarter had 2 cracks on the reverse that almost connected, the 96 had a crack front & back. Not worth anything but fun to find.
I'm sorry for your loss, but glad she doesn't have to suffer any longer. Thanks for sharing the photos. That greaser is something else!
Oh yes - I'm so glad too - and the poor duck went in a heart beat - didn't take a week like others, she was quacking at me in the early afternoon then I went to give her food the next hour and stiff as a board - scares the crap out of me as we all will be doing this sometimes in our lives - hope everyone has someone that cares about them till the end!!
I'm sorry for your loss, too. Pets don't have to be felines or canines to be loved. I once had to counsel a young man whose goldfish died; he'd had it for 13 of his 14 years. He was heartbroken. Steve
If this is realistic I don't know how to respond - My Margret was my favorite - I'm sure you didn't mean that -
Markus1959, I think you may have misunderstood me. I'm being totally serious in my entire post. I DO offer you my sympathy. As a pastor I DID have to counsel a young man, age 14, whose parents had bought him a goldfish when he was one year old. And the boy literally had never known a day in his life without the fish. It had grown to a fair size, too. Steve
