Holiday Zoom Getogether

john o'neil

Awesome! Sorry I had to duck out after an hour, but I was supposed to be cooking dinner, and the dogs were growling for theirs. So great to put a face and voice with a name. Hats off to Scott Payton for sharing his matrix for narrowing down/ruling out some Washington stamps. Very interesting stuff! Hope this becomes a regular event. The only suggestion I might (selfishly) ask would be to start it an hour or two earlier as it hit right at our normal dinner hour in the US Midwest. Obviously, the timing should be what is best for the group.
Finally, Bravo to Rene Bravo for pulling this off. Thanks!

Scott is 13 hours ahead of CST (14 ahead of EST) so that should work. I think for Scott that Friday or Saturday are the best days for him (Saturday or Sunday). It was a great event

Sorry I missed the zoom meeting but I ended up getting a better offer. Now before anyone gets huffy due to that statement, my son, who picked a busier specialty than did his old man (which means I don't get to see him that often; he's a vascular surgeon at a Pennsylvania level-1 trauma center) was in Manhattan for some CME and swung up north for a surprise visit, taking the long way home back to PA.
I'm glad to hear the meeting was a success! Hopefully, I'll be able to join in on the next one. Thanks, Rene, for setting it up!

Rene Bravo

It was fun. Definitely organize another in the future.

Scott Payton

George, that sounds like a much better offer than listening to me rabbit on about tiny pieces of paper with dead guys on them.

Rene Bravo

I'll throw out another offer for meeting soon.

Scott Payton

Nice!
I'm in!

Luree Hughes

I'll be there. We need more women! Jeri will you be available? Lauren, will you? Theresa, are you still here?

john o'neil

I could wear a dress?

Scott Payton

I'd pay money to see that.

Luree Hughes

Omg, that is too funny

john o'neil

Hmm.....how much?

Phil Merrill_

Ya know, back when I was younger i.....no, never mind. I didn't say anything......not me, no.

Greg Doll

Just wait at a bus stop in downtown Houston for a little while. You can see that sort of thing for free.

berrien moore

Not sure where this is going but I am in for another (and another) Zoom

Greg Doll

Rene' and I were talking about doing another one after the holidays. Maybe once a month or so might be a good schedule going forward. We didn't have a ton of time with the first one for questions and it seemed to me that there might have been more out there we couldn't address. I kind of see these as having one overarching topic to cover then as much Q&A as we can fit in. Topic suggestions would be welcomed of course.

Rene Bravo

yes, topic suggestions?

Scott Payton

How to get cat hair out of multiples?

Phil Merrill_

Would this be about stamps or about selling stamps?

Greg Doll

Hmmm....cat hair. It can be an issue for both dealers and customers. Dang lap cats!!!!

Maybe think about what kind of thing is important to customers from the online buying experience. Or what folks look for in listing descriptions. That kind of stuff.
