Hi. This seems like an amiable forum, so I joined the other day. Here are the basics:.

Name: Eddie.
Main collecting interests: varied; currently fascinated with France and Belgium.
Topical interests: writers, musical instruments, religion, bad art.
Perforation varieties or pretty pictures: Yes.
How long a collector: about 50 years, with a 38-year break in the middle. I think I've figured out how to enjoy it this time.
Other hobbies: making lists.
Besides that, you clown: history, chess, playing catch with my dog.
Occupation: caregiver.
Overall personality: N/A.

That's probably it for now; hope to join some discussions along the way. If I ever get good at running my wife's scanner, we're all in trouble!

mourningdoves A big welcome to StampBears. We are a fairly informal group who don't always take our philately - or life - too seriously. I hope we shall see pictures of some of your stamps. Your stampy interests overlap with mine. Writers and musical instruments are two topics I collect, and I am a fan of French engraved commemoratives. We don't have many rules, but do take the time to look through them. You'll find them in the Community Information section at stampbears.net/thread/8/forum-rules

I couldn't help pondering over the interest in bad art. I'm struggling trying to figure that one out. My art work might qualify.... I never quite got beyond stick figures
	Now downsizing, really!

Did you hear the joke about the unstamped letter? You wouldn't get it.
