Bjornian Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 If you want to be a rela member of GAA, here is the easy way.... E-mail me why you are addicted. I will choose who si a member since i made GAA LOL. Though I now don't feel so addicted because I have only psent 300 dollars in coins in a month. All the coins I have made for the group will only be "given away" to those who have "donated" money :-). But I can make am ember list early. I am actualyl working of sketches for coins for GAA, the first coin will be the intro coin fo the set. The group will put out coins every so often. I have a website programed already, now I just need the money to givei it it's own domain and stuff :-). Quote Link to comment

+Team Maddie UK Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I tried this morning to prove that my addiction was not as bad as I feared but I think I was wrong. I went to town...paid the power bill (so the computer would work) went to the Post Office and stocked up on stamps and envelopes (for all the swops I am expecting)went to the stationery store and got plastic envelopes to put the coins into, went to computer store to buy computer design program (I want to make my own coin now) got cigs and wine and a pizza so should be all set for next 24 hours. Ok I am still addicted BUT I DID leave the house for an hour. Panic was starting to set in before I got home. Lynn Quote Link to comment

I have been ordering coins for days now but I haven't received one in 2 weeks!!!! and I know at least 6 are in the post somewhere. Was there a plane crash somewhere carrying all my goodies??? If I don't start getting some I am going to sit here and cry and probably order a dozen more to see if they will get here. I need a GAA meeting Lynn Quote Link to comment

Bjornian Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 sorry I have been focused on making the coin. I am having the lawyers look over some ideas (okay, GAA had artists, lawyers, and economists that work for it, maybe I am a little to professional). Quote Link to comment
