I swear in full public view, if I ever get back to Vegas, I am spending the day with you there.

My social anxiety usually causes me to be off to the side, sorting through donations that showed up that night. My fiancé though loves being right there, interacting with everyone – I think she just likes the plethora of marriage proposals she gets. :lol:

If you make it to Vegas though, I promise I'll push the ole anxiety away, and stand side-by-side with you.

You won't have to stand side-bye-side with me. You can sit on the ground with me and those children.

:-D

This is just getting ridiculous. You guys (and gals) are… *drops thesaurus on the table*

Two more packages

(Sorry for the quality of the second picture… these were texted to me – I didn’t have a chance to take pictures myself. It's about $100 worth of really thick Dickie's socks!)

By eyeballing what has come in, I would guess that this board has given over $800 in items. And the incredible thing is they are all NEW!!!

There are some really good people on this board! I'm delighted that members have responded so well. It's good to see people working together for a worthy cause.

Big kudos to you and your wife (oops! Fiancée) for all the good you are doing!
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Received a large flat rate box, stuffed to the brim with socks today from CA. Not sure if it came from someone on this board, or from my numismatics friends on another board, but to whoever the hero was... thank you!
