HAY CRAIG - good to hear from you ,its been awhile . Im glad that I brought something out that caught someone's att. It isd really something when you get into studying about coins and paper currency, I said earlier last year that what we have now as far as money is , that it would be turning to plastic, well a country in europe has turned thers into plastic , I just found out recently, so I guess ours will be next, they are already trying to get one world wide monetary system started, and of corse they seem like they are going to make america follow europeways. That's all right because it won't be long and our money we have now will really go up in value. Any how Im glad you enjoyed it and I always say ( No matter how old you get ,you can always learn something NEW everyday, No matter who its from ,it may be someone that never went any further in school then kidengarden ) Thanks for asking ,Im doing somewhat better, I've found out that I'm allergic to several medications ,Some they say could be fatal if taken ,They say That I should have let them give me the dye on that heart stint deal even with the premeds for several days, TOLD ME NEVER EVER TAKE IT AGAIN FOR ANY REASON.IM SUSposed to be getting a necklace or braclet ( MEDIC ALERT to wear,they cannot even give me a mri or cat scam using the dye. ANY ONE THAT IS ALLERGIC TO FISH OR SEAFOOD SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM THE DYE> Craig I am doing better though because now they know what heart meds. They can give me safly , THANK THE GOOD LORD. Well I guess Ive bent your ear long enough and Id better some questions for awhile , You are a good friend ,Thanks, I just wish that the whole world was like this . GOD BLESS AND HAVE A VERY NICE DAY Your friend ::F.B.E.
