Forgot what day it was roflmao. it's easy for me the boys are still on schedule and will be over the summer I was able to get another year of Japanese for James starting in the fall

You would think I'd remember given I'm still working, but I woke up on a Saturday thinking I was late for work.

I read (somewhere, at some point last year), it's important to update your mailing address with Social Security. They do spot mailings and if anything is returned to them in the mail for an out of date address, they will immediately stop payments, to that individual. (This is true even if the banking information is the same, as before the person moved to a new address.) Not saying this has anything at all to do with your present position, but just passing it along, as I did read that last year.

I managed to contact SS directly and changed my address early on this month.

You aren’t the only one.

Looks like my knitting retreat at the end of June is going to be cancelled. So bummed. Totally understandable, but I don’t have to like it.

I have bingo on the top row.

Bingo diagonal from working on home to googling symptoms.

Thanks, it's a tough pill to swallow. But my friend who puts it on does not want to be responsible for bringing the virus back to MN... if we are in the first stages of reopening the state or country.

Can I ask a question? I have a few early issue vinyl albums, by the Beatles, Cream and the Sound of Music. I know that I have seen them listed for sale on e-bay for hundreds of dollars, but is there anyplace that I can go to find out what they are actually worth as opposed to "I'd like to get".

Few in the average collection are worth “hundreds of dollars.” They would typically have to be a first pressing in exceptional condition, a few titles by a few artists. It’s usually the more oddball stuff that ends up being high value, because not everyone bought them. There can be many, many different versions of one album, all worth different amounts. The Sound of Music wouldn’t have much dollar value (we sell them for $3.) Cream, we would typically pay $1 and sell for $5 (+/-) The Beatles can vary a lot, but to grossly overgeneralize, we buy most for $1-$5 each and sell for $5-$12 or so.)

If you look at eBay, click on “completed listings,” because an asking price doesn’t mean anything. Then you can see what things actually sold for or didn’t sell at all. Then click to see if they say which pressing or at least catalog number it is, and see if yours match. You’ll get less in your local market. As with any collectibles, you’ll get more if you cut out the middleman rather than sell to a dealer.

@Mr Ferret 88 , how are things going on the island? Is it about the same as here, with most businesses temporarily closed up? How are you and Mrs. Ferret doing?

Today is very nice out (at 5:15 AM, it's 32. Just heavenly. Wish I could send you some cool breezes from here.)
