Good morning guys. I hope everyone has a great day.

Anyone who is traveling, be safe. To those not traveling, that's still good advice, be safe. :D

No traveling here, but I am definitely looking forward to some food and football tomorrow.

Dave (w)- Great picks ups! I like UD Black as well. Some really nice additions to your collection. Congrats.

Go to the box break boards and look at daveyous pulls for yesterday bud. One of them has your name on it :D
Nice stuff wake a dave :)
He is the luckiest SOB on the entire planet.

Funny how that seems to be case a lot of the time. You find the copies /5 / /25 etc and then realize that the one #/100 or /250 are a pain to locate...
There are some sets where I have the entire run for Dawson including
all the cards /25, /10, /5 and the cards from the set /100, and /50 have
NEVER popped up for sale.
But right after we had this conversation, this popped up

Thats harsh GC! I hope our dept does not face any budged cuts. We have not had any as of yet, but that does not mean anything. I know as a whole they were trying to cut the budget 5% across the uni. Though it did not stop the President from taking a 600k bonus instead of 6 mo leave.

We just gave $110K back to the School, we are taking 1 Archaeologist (because we had 0 last year) and not other students except those with outside funding.

Daveyou is definitely the luckiest guy I have ever seen. I would love to pick up the Dunn, but I'm not so sure it's going to happen. I'll contact him and see what he's looking for on it, in light of yesterday's events, I will probably have to pass.

Crystal lost her job yesterday. It was 100% unexpected because her company had not mentioned anything about letting people go. Then yesterday morning they had a meeting and gave several people their walking papers, including Crystal. So I'm selling like crazy to get some money up. Oh well, I've missed out on more nice Dunn cards than I own, so another one isn't going to hurt. :lol:

You can call me Milton
Joe- That sucks about Crystal. We'll be thinking of both of you. Hopefully she'll find something sooner than later.

The company has great timing though. Why couldn't they have waited until Monday to fire people? Way to take a giant sh(i)t on Thanksgiving. :evil:

*edit* Stupid filter

:( I'd employ everyone here and their family if I could. I hate to hear of people losing their jobs.

Hey guys, I hope everyone has a great day. I am supposed to be traveling tomorrow to see my wife and daughter but my little girl woke up in the middle of the night with a fever of 102. She's back at the doctor this morning where she'll have a few tests run, hopefully nothing serious but it looks like I'll be staying down here now.
