Dr. Bill, if you have one of Andrew Jackson, I'll give you $5 for it. For those not familiar with U.S. money, Andrew Jackson is on our $20 bill.)

My apologies, RhubarbCommando, for the absent-minded post. Have duly edited both posts.

Take it in stride, maahey. I didn't follow what was going on, but absent-minded posts are quite the norm here and... wait, where did I put my coffee cup?... right, quite the norm... (did you hear the one about the guy who walks into a bar...?) oh yeah, back to what I was saying: quite the norm and now makes you a full(y)-fledged (I-will-not-say-the-word-ayleur) AWAD person.

Thanks for the apology, maahey; I appreciate your courtesy. However, it wasn't necessary (from my point of view, that is - maybe it was from yours!)
a) I didn't see your post until after it had been edited (which caused me to scratch my head a little!)
3) It is an honour to be conflated with consuelo, a lady whose good humour and sense of right-living I admire. (Eaton rapids notwithstanding )

I don't know, but my old man had a collection of collections.

Akshually®, moose, I'm a collector of collections meownself...I collect coins, baseball cards & memorabilia, rocks & fossils, historic newspapers, musical Santas, old books, shells, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, (all kinds of stuff)...and I just call myself a pack rat. So I'm thinkin' pack rat is the apt description of a collector of collections. now if I could only figure out how to make a fortune on eBay...

Just be sure you ain't nekkid when taking photos of reflective objects!
Really, one was circulated on ebay until someone spotted it and it was pulled. Or so I am told! And someone did send me the photo in email of a shiny pot with a reflection of the man taking the picture !!! Not a prety sight!
