Hello,,   did you miss me ..  correct answer is Yes.

My motherboard died on my computer.. just got the machine back tonight.. after a search for,  and then plugging in of, all the cables.. here I am.  and of course also, I have not been home until late these past nights so couldn't even write using the laptop.   but less of the corroborative detail to give artistic verisimilitude to a bald and an otherwise unconvincing narrative .. someone famous said that I seem to recall... or something like it  ...  first free cover to whoever knows...  email me at cddstamps@gmail.com

another prize...  we all really enjoy our stamp collecting, our philately... but do we know what Philately means and the derivation of the word.....     best answer in my judgement wins a free GB cover

finally..  and my favourite.. what is an odontometer... ???  how easy, but before you look it up..admit that at first you did not know   

will be back with some stamps by Monday.. we have a long weekend here.. it is Australia day I am told   so I will likely be without stamps for the next 3 days...  

Best wishes.. enjoy your stamps.....................   Michael
