    Not that many. I'm not even close. Anyone out there have a Chortis Speculorum they might want to trade?

    iceman: I got busted by the spouse at the end of February. She found out how much I spent on coins that month so I've been in time out since. I might be able to break out and buy something new in April. Maybe. If I'm a good boy.

    Oh man, I feel for you. You have to take her out to a nice dinner, serenade her with gifts and compliments to bypass that. :D

    maybe.

    Nope. Didn't work. We celebrated our 45th anniversary yesterday and I wined and dined her. But I'm still in the dog house.

    I don't ever have to worry about that since I am single. But I do have to watch my money as always. Assuming that I meet my goal in money next month, I will be pushing it big time. Won't be getting any pizzas or restaurants all month. :(

    Tell your wife I said to give you a break. He deserves a coin for being good all month so far. lol
