re: bobstew617 back again!

welcome, Bob. Please forgive this ill-informed Hungarian, but isn't that a Welsh dragon?

re: bobstew617 back again!

Yes, that is a Welsh dragon. I am part Welsh, and I find that the most curious part of my ancestry. Also, even though my name is Scot, I have not Scot in my background--I am half Irish, and I know there are Stewarts in Ireland.

re: bobstew617 back again!

I realized that I did not give my collecting interests in my introduction, but my collection is quite eclectic.

I collect:

Jersey Guernsey Isle of Man Alderney
Northern Ireland Scotland Wales
Gibraltar Ireland Luxembourg Saar
Liechtenstein Switzerland West Berlin
Faroe Islands Greenland Iceland
Denmark Danish West Indies
Norway Finland Ã…land Islands
Thailand Papua New Guinea New Guinea
British Offices in China Hong Kong

I have collected since I was 11, and just turned 50 last month.

My largest collection by far is Switzerland, but I love my "little countries" as well.

I am a member of the APS, Eire Philatelic Association (Ireland), and the American Helvetia Philatelic Society. (Swiss)

I tend to buy MNH, and trade used. I really like souvenir sheets.

I use Microsoft ACCESS to track the stamps in my albums, and I just finished updating catalog values from 2008 to 2012. (I have a well used set of 2008 Scott catalogs if anyone is interested .) {I get to use the emoticons again--hooray!! )
I am getting close to 15,000 stamps catalogued.

Glad to be here!

(Oh, and cocollectibles, no worries--it is a common mistake! From my reading of Irish history, many Scots emigrated to Ireland over the years and became Irish.

re: bobstew617 back again!

Hi Bob;

Welcome back, from a fellow Wensy Refugee. Hope you enjoy yourself on here.

I don't know if you noticed, but I came up with an idea for our profiles, to protect our privacy better.
When you are asked "Willing to Correspond:" you have three choices:

YES; displays your e-Mail address
YES only thru stamporama messages; blocks your e-Mail address
NO; blocks your e-Mail address

Several new members have already selected that third option. So thank you Tim for implementing my
idea, and glad it was helpful to others.

Stayed too late at Mos Eisley Cantina, again...

Just hangin' over....

Bob, you were so missed!

How's that new job you just joined? Still going strong? And yes, we need to get some Florida members together to meet at a show some place.

Yea, you're back!
