Fell off the wagon did ya ?

 

It's only the tolerance developed over a long life that keeps us old guys from strangling the *#@+% out of you young %#@*&!

Don't want no smarty-panty numismatist playing head games with ME...

 

I paid for my lunch to day with three one-dollar bills, five quarters, a Sacagawea dollar, and two half dollars. The cashier looked at the half-dollars and said, "Whoa! I haven't seen one of these since I was about twelve!" I think she was in her late twenties or early thirties...I'm glad I got to brighten her day!

 

We need to cut the kid some slack. It seems to be natural for a 14-15 year old kid to want to hang out with the adults but they haven't yet developed the necessary social skills to do so without irritating some adults. But if we shun them they won't learn those skills. Of course, they also have to recognize that they aren't adults yet or they won't learn to become ones without being put in their place - sometimes rather firmly.

JMHO

 

Well, this forum doesn't have a "shaking my head emoticon" so I'll just settle for this one ......

 

here's one you are free to use.......

 

LOL....thanks Dan

 

I believe that is 4 coins, however, the answer is quite simple. I said one of them was not a nickel (play on words) the other one was.

 

So what prizes do CU101 and I get for posting the correct answer earlier?

 

An extra five minutes for lunch.

 

hello,

i am still new to this site so forgive me if i am out of line. i was just wondering if it normal on this forum to bash young ones who ask what seems like a decent question?
i have been on long enough to know that the user named spider is a young kid with a lot of questions to ask. i have noticed that when he does ask a question ,that we have all been asked about many times, some people here snap at him.
i do not wish to rock the boat here, because i like having a place to ask and answer questions about coins, but this seems a bit off.
if we can not find a reason for a lack of younger collectors maybe we need look no further than how we are treating them.
just my opinion.

thanks,

michael

I don't see anything that we haven't edited that was "bashing" this kid...I'm a young collector myself and try to think of this.

We (younger collectors) also need to remember that when we ask a question that many times the older collectors have known it for years and don't put it high up...I was treated the same way on another forum.

Boy, I'll vouch for that! On the old forum Speedy couldn't even spell "moderator" and now He Are One ! And I night add, a very, very good one!

 

Mostly my previous post was based on my own experience with my son who just turned 16 a few months ago. When we get together with my wife's family for big holidays the adults often play games like Sequence or a few other board and card games. At 14, my son would hang around and mope, sometimes begging to play with us. We finally relented and he thought he was an adult but he would often ruin the game by blurting out what cards he thought so-and-so had in their hand or boast about his own hand, all kinds of things that adults have long since learned not to do. It ruined a few games for us and there were a few times we had to invite him to leave the game but he learned that if he wanted to play with the adults he had to start acting like the adults. It was a learning experience for him and he does much better now. I think there is a similar situation going on here. Cut him some slack and let him learn how to act like an adult. It is a little more difficult here due to the anonymity of the internet but patience and effort on all our parts can make a big difference in a person's life. Anyway, here is one little lesson for a youngster. Image can make a difference in how people treat you. On the internet, how we write is our image. So, a little extra effort can make a difference in how ur treated.

 

I tell you OldDan...you keep remembering the old day!!!!

Hey - don't pick on OldDan!

If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to claim "kid" status.

 

It is soooooo easy when you provide us with soooooo much material. I guess we can only joke about it when the same stuff comes up, gets asked AGAIN, and when answers are provided...they go in one ear and out the other!

 

Hey Roy...I would give you the "kid" status!!!
