<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1338700, member: 23885"]It is a very interesting dynamic when I meet somone in person. The whole size thing really isn't an issue. I grew up skin and bones, and am now pushing 225. I have a friend that happens to be morbidly obese and flamboyantly gay, an African American women who has kids older than me (I would go into business with her if I could track her down. She's almost my twin). As well as my best friend who happens to 6'5. The Army buddies are funny because they put up the front of being macho, but are regular dudes. One thing that I try not to do is say anything negative about somone elses coins. Even if they impulse bought, something in their thought process projected them to purchase that coin. Online it doesn't bother me, but I've had people say "oh that was a terrible buy." "Stay away from that." "You've been had."</p><p><br /></p><p> The poker world threw me for a huge loop. One day I'm getting picked up by the wealthiest man in Southern Maryland (owner of the company my dad works for + 11 other busineses), and we make a run to Atlantic City. Everything Comped, pockets full of hundred dollar bills. Check raising 5 grand easy come easy go. A good night and a security guard escorts me to the car. (Crisp 20 dollar bill for his services, 20 for the lost soul playing two penny slots at a time and a 20 for the random security guard driving his bike around the parking lot. Fast forward and I wake up in a VA homless shelter. 11 cents in my bank account. Bumming a loosey from some unfortunate soul that is addicted to crack, or left his mind in Vietnam. Crazy, how do I relate to people my age? What can they tell me about life? Thank god things are stable now. Now that I have a son and am pushing 30 I have a reason to be afraid. Yes the coinworld is going to be my permanant home. Sorry for the sensationalism in my threads. I'm off to go metal detecting. Will post my results.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
