<p>[QUOTE="Mike Thorne, post: 8350272, member: 56869"]I used to collect stamps and for many years kept up with new U.S. issues. At some point, I realized that I was only getting the U.S. and U.N. issues to send a trading partner in Australia, and I started saying that when he died (he was older than I was) I would stop purchasing the new issues. Not long after I started saying that, I got a message from "down under" telling me that my buddy had dropped dead while mowing the grass of a friend down the street. And that was the end of my stamp collecting. I sold all the better stuff on eBay but still have some albums left with stamps in them. I keep thinking that I'll go back to selling them but somehow don't get around to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>My wife collects jewelry, and she just got a new ring sent by FedEx today. A long time ago, she discovered that a great place to get some bargain jewelry is at coin shows and now she's eager to accompany on my trips around the bourse. She knows that if she catches me when I have just bought an expensive coin I'll be more receptive to her latest jewelry discovery.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
