    I am waiting for weeks for coins from Europe that I brought as birthday presents for 4/1

    they are just floating around the ocean on steam ships, trying to avoid icebergs.

    One of wife's friends, who lives in Belgium, received a couple of Christmas cards a couple days ago. At least they were mailed in 2020. :smuggrin:

    The Suez is like Flatbush Avenue. Some foriegner decided to make a u-turn right in the middle of the street, infront of two buses and surrounded by unloading trucks.

    I waited 4 months for a coin I won 2 weeks before Thanksgiving.
    Last year I waited 10 months. Just be patient.

    Haha, my computer system at work lives in the 19th century. Slow as sin, only works on Internet Explorer, crashes and glitches, and sometimes does not work at all.

    One would hope that the central system for the country's second largest car insurance company would at least work, but noooooooooooo

    In other news, my old job at the YMCA used a program that must have been written on or before 1969.
    I deduced this because the payment page has an option for $500 bills, which were discontinued in July 1969.
