    Well, I never said anything about marriage (because marriage between Ptolemies is just... well, nevermind). But you're right about one thing, Sev - splitting up the family unit would definitely be a bad idea. The obvious solution would be for TIF and your oktobols to join the little one at my place. Of course, you'd both be welcome to visit. :D

    She doesn't mind the Viking hat, actually. It's the Viking throne she has an issue with. :shy:

    It's been a privilege to read your posts these past five years.

    The effort you put into making your posts helpful and instructive is outstanding, and the results of your efforts are what makes this site the best one around for ancient coin information and discussions.

    The wit, originality and inventiveness of your humor is without peer on this website.
    Rest assured that there are many who appreciate that sophisticated (usually!) level of humor.

    Your industriousness should be the envy of us all -- I surely wish I had your level of persistence and work ethic!

    Keep up the good work!

    what does a subscription to coinboy cost btw- a dirty old sestertius or drachma? or maybe an assarion? Or one of those Egyptian hockey pucks from the Ptolemys?

    A most happy anniversary @TIF
    Yes, your posts are among the most valuable and informative, but the most impressive to me are your sense of humor and your skills at making outstanding GIF

    Serapis has been trained to say hello to friends, and wanted to participate :

    TIF has been a very positive influence here on me and i'm sure others also..there are coins i've bought because of her and coins i want for the same reason..thank you TIF for your inspiration, your kind willingness to help those of us less knowledgeable on history and coins and your witty sense of humor and manipulation of the puter graphics! thank you!! crowd chering.jpg
