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.

Re: THE MAACA DAILY NEWS! Your daily read about YOU,the members!
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.

The better option would have been to buy more pins so that they cover the floor so that you can't see it!Sparky wrote:I decided to sell a cherished pin in irder to pay for new flooring. I can't have anyone come over at tge end of April on bare concrete... So I rather sell one pin instead of cancelling the MPL meeting.

That sounds like a better plan.Sparky wrote:You know what? Fuck it. I will keep the pin and play on concrete until the fall.
Besides, it is easier to find flooring than find a pin. LOL
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.
