    I hear people are starting to ask questions about me.

    OK. Here are some answers.

    I like to visit members of Cast Boolits. I have been known to carry off
    things they don't need anymore when I visit.

    I always drop something off when I visit. Usually something I found at
    another member's place.

    I always follow these rules from Helping Hands:


    1. I am giving it away to someone that needs or wants what I am giving away.

    2. "I'll take it" doesn't necessarily rule. The giver can "pass" on
    recipients calling "I'll take it!"

    3. The person giving the item pays the shipping so the item is always worth
    the shipping.

    4. The person receiving the gift is not obligated to give anything.

    Here are the rules for George:

    1. George should not get posted where someone can call "I'll take it!"

    2. If you receive a George package, you can just go get a cup of coffee and
    call that good. You can also look at your pile of stuff that you have, see
    something you don't need, and send it to someone on the site that is looking
    for that item. Examples are an old set of dies you no longer use or a pile of
    range pickup brass you don't need.

    3. When you see someone posting a "Want to Buy" add or calling "I'll take
    seconds on that!" you PM them and ask if they would like George to come by
    for a visit. When you send George, you pay the postage so it is always
    worthwhile to the recipient.

    4. If you want to ignore George, that is OK. If you want to have some fun
    with George, post your own thread about George stopping by your house in the
    Helping Hands section.

    Now for some notes about George.

    George is really over worked and he can use a lot of help!

    A lot of members on our site really don't want to be known as a seller. They
    don't mind trading or giving items and this can become a good opportunity to
    clean out the garage and put a smile on someones face. If they are posting a
    WTB add, you can be pretty sure the item will not end up on Fleabay. You can
    help George!

    George is not fixated on value. George likes to claim an item you don't need
    or want anymore and take it to someone that needs or wants it.

    So there is no tit for tat in George's travels. A willing person sends
    something they are willing to part with to someone who desires it without it
    ever being listed like a PIF in the PIF thread and they pay the postage so it
    is always worthwhile to the recipient. The recipient may or may not post
    about receiving a package from George.

    If they do post about George's visit, it is always in a new thread and not a
    many page long thread no one can keep up with. If the post is wild and
    entertaining, that is even better!

    And most of all, they are not obligated to give anything. They can just go
    get a cup of coffee!

    George thinks it is kind of nice to surprise people with a positive event.

    Never met him but he sounds too complicated and I tend to avoid complicated. My partner is Simple.

    Yes I can be long winded. Yes I follow rabbit trails. Yes I admit when I am wrong. Your mileage may vary.

    Got Bush Whacked by George over the weekend. He and his friends tied me up and forced me to watch as they cast bullets and loaded up 43 Spanish ammo . Then they made me shoot it in my Rolling Block. Now what type of guy does that. He even made me keep the brass, loaded ammo, bullet sizer and mold said he would be back and hurt me if I didn't!!! or was it he would hurt my feelings and shoot all the ammo he and friends had loaded by themselves ?

    had to read several threads concerning george before I figured him out. one question though, how does george know that you need an item and how does he know that you have an item to send. ok that's 2 questions--math ain't a strong suit.

    never mind, read another couple of posts and the light came on.

    Often brstevns, or me or BrassMagnet and some others will see posting and and send a coded G Signal and George will see it.

    Anyone you know of that has a special need?

    If you have a extra item, let me know. I will not need it as I have EVERYTHING
    You see I am excessive compulsive to the MAX
    But will send up the G Signal



    Thanks for asking

    OR just tell GeorgeOneDollarBill

    discovered that brassmagnet resides in my general area and had a nice conversation with him until his mean better half got back from the store and put him to work. I don't drink coffee (never could stand the taste) but evidently I had better stock up so that if I ever get lucky enough that george pays me a visit he won't get mad at the lack of proper refreshment and leave without even saying "hi".
