Good things happen to good people who try. Simple as that...

Your story reminds me why I do not believe in coincidence.

Good guys might lose battles, but never the war.

Time to update all activities I suppose.
The buy/sell content just does not do it for me. Sorry.

We require stories once again. No heart and soul left online. Time to bring that back.

I logged on to answer a PM. I thought I might as well give a bit of a news update while I’m here.

Obviously, I’m still alive. I’m now legally divorced. The whole process took over 2 1/2 years. It was very difficult emotionally but I’m done now and I managed to keep my house, my pins / stuff and my work pension fund.

I’m still into EM pins, especially old Bally’s. Still into Bingo machines. I finally found a 20 hole Bally Bingo machine with a side game thanks to a good friend.

As I write these words I don’t feel like doing shops jobs for other people anymore unless there’s a real incentive other than just financial.

And no, I’m not back on MAACA. I still need some time off.
Wanted: Bally 20 hole Bingo machine: Orient, London, Safari, Super 7, Bonus 7 or Hawaii.
Bally: Mad World
Williams: Pot 'O' gold, Beat the clock
Rally Play Company of Nice France: Any Flip Tronic(s) era machine produced between 1966 and 1969

I hate this hobby sometimes.
The better option would have been to buy more pins so that they cover the floor so that you can't see it!

Besides, it is easier to find flooring than find a pin. LOL
That sounds like a better plan.

For the moment, you can go to walmart and buy hallway rugs for cheap to put in front of the pins.

I think it is time to revive this thread.

I am going to post here instead of individual threads.
