Crisps? :zoinks:

Always. :-[

Nothing to be ashamed of. I love crisps.

Crisps rule, especially the hand-cooked ones, that are especially crunchy. Nachos are awesome too.

Yup. Like 'em.

There's a Swedish crisps brand - Estrella - that trialled ramson crisps a few years ago. Those are still my favourites but the bastards decided not to extend the trial.

I ordered an Akubra hat a little more than a week ago, online, and it arrived today! Originally I wanted a proper Stetson, but given the current state of the US, I decided to offer my money to the Aussie brand Akubra instead. They do a very nice Western hat, beaver felt, which is what I wanted.

Kayleigh has a black Akubra hat. They're sturdy, she's had it for years.

I bought some German stamps. Newer ones because all I have are old ones.

Do you collect stamps?  I have a bunch but know little about them

I'm a big spender today I got an iced tea and a coffee while I was out

I certainly do. I started collecting stamps when I was 12. I started out with one album (which I still have) and a bag of mixed stamps from Kmart. I moved a lot when I was a teenager and young adult but the stamps came with me. My interest was renewed when I started volunteering at the Salvos and someone donated an album with New Zealand stamps in it. Really good ones and so I restarted my collection. Now i have quite a few books of stamps.

DirtDawg sent me some, really interesting stamps from places I've never heard of. Are yours mostly American stamps?

I have a mix more US ones but still a lot of world stamps.  I have two books that my father started before ww2 that supposedly had some valuable ones in them.  I was always a coin person they are so much easier to figure out.

I have some very old stamps as well. Most controversial are the Hitler stamps I have. Your dad might have gotten some of those too.

I use an app on my phone called Stamp Identifier for the stamps I have that are written in a foreign language or the print is small and hard to read.

I have a few coins too. I prefer stamps, heheh.

They are lovely hats.

I have a basic stamp collection... somewhere. I collected when I was a kid. Nothing particularly exciting beyond a couple of Finnish stamps that are worth money.

As far as Finland goes, I don't have many stamps from there. Mostly old ones.

I like collecting newer stamps, more colourful and less likely to tear. I'm learning much about Africa and the Middle East at the moment.

Today I bought some Lego - a Plum Blossom tree, I guess? A plant or a tree, I'm not sure. I've always wanted to make the plants and flowers, they're so colourful and lovely to look at. I just need to put it somewhere where the cats won't knock it over.
