Title: where is everyone? Festive Greetings
Post by: polarbear on December 16, 2007, 08:00:54 am
Hi forum members

I have been wondering where all the members have been in the last few months?

Did we lose the members to a soft market on papermoney. Were people in it for the quick money or have they been so crazy busy for the Christmas season(Festive Season)

 So I am here to change that.  I hope everyone who still is on the forum answers this post.

 :)

Season's greetings everyone and may continued good health, happiness and prosperity follow in the new year!!!
It has been a pleasure to talk/meet  so many new and interesting people, and it has made my life a fun because I realize we have a passion for the weirdest hobby. 

I hope to meet many people in the future and keep with this great hobby.

Cheers

Polarbear

Well let me be the first to say "I am still here, yet some may not want me to be  ;D"
It was great to see you, Brent and Gary last week at the Waterloo Coin Club.

And best of luck on the brick searching in the new year

I'm still around but I've just gotten very busy in the past year.  I've missed a good many shows --I'm sorry to say.

I would like to go to the party too but I will be down in Myrtle Beach for the holidays. 

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to all of you "characters" who cotnribute to the wonderful Canadian Paper Money Forum! 

Be sure to bundle up, hang tight, and drive right  ::)

Cheers!

I am still here but kind of busy due to year end is approaching and the preparation of next year budget.  One of our major customer is Starbuck .... (everyone then know I am working in the beverage industry and due to the strong C$, our profits drop a lot, a lot means two digits drop and we have no raise in our wages ..... so I can't keep buying .....  just kidding!  It is because my main collection is Devil Face and 1935 issues .....)

May I take this opportunity of wishing every forum member here Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  The most important is good health!

I'm still alive and well living in east Toronto. I would love to attend this years Christmas party but unfortunately have to work that evening only :'(. Every other weekday I get off at 2:00 ::) >:(. Oh well such is life :). I was just curious, as to our members outside of Ontario, whether they got as much snow dumped, as we did here in Toronto, over the weekend ???. I'd like to wish everyone, and their families, all the best for a - super holiday season  and   a healthy and prosperous New Year :D

Hey I’m still here in New Westminster. PB. I’ve been ill for the last several months and hoping to get myself better sooner than later. At least I don't have to shovel rain. Soft market? Well I’m trying the best I can to prop it up with what little I have left because I spent my cash savings trying to fix my old home. No I didn’t find any old notes hidden in the walls.

May da Angel Numismatica bless everyone with a lucky brick in da New Year mon.

 ;D Gloria, in Excelsis Deo!

PS. Got a few ‘pretty’ numbered notes for you Raven  :-* , Merry Christmas.

Ho ho ho.  :-*
Sadly, that centuries-old yuletide expression was declared politically incorrect this year.

You have to say "ha ha ha" now instead  ::) ::)

I can't wait til Spring to get back into doing my gardening.  But I need a new hoe ha, my old one is all rusty.

J'y suis!  j'y  suis!   Greetings  to  my  Canadian  friends.   I  am  still  assembling  my color  atlas  of  chartered  notes, and am now in the M's.    My  daughters,  who  are  both  Canadian  citizens,  are  coming  home  for  the  holidays;  my  elder  daughter  won  a  prize  from  her  French  department,  and  my  younger  daughter  plans  to  begin  studying  French  next  year.   I  am  basking  in  the
southern  California  breeze  reminiscing  about  the  days  when  I  used  to  have  to  shovel  snow. 
               We  wish  you  all  a  Merry  Christmas  and Good Hunting!
               Nous vous  souhaitons un Joyeux Noel et  du Bonne  Chasse!

Hi everyone,

Merry Christmas.

I am back in Sask with the folks, and loving being with the family (even though it involved the passing of a family member - peacefully).

It has brought us together in warm celebration of his life, and how we can all share our gifts of love to others here on earth.

May your Christmas season be filled with love and joy.


God Bless-

H

Happy holidays to all  ;D.!

This Forum has been a great place for Paper Money collectors.  I've only had the pleasure to meet very few of you, but hopefully I will get the chance to visit a few more shows in the coming year.

Best wishes to all, and have a happy New Year.

Sincerely,
Alain-Robert

Happy Holidays, everyone!

I'm always checking out the forum daily.

It's just as much of a ritual for me as reading the newspaper. I love it!

Wishing everyone the absolute best!
