| Hey Lego Friends,
I've now been a member of Bricklink for 20 years. It has been a lot of fun!!
 Here are just a few examples of the fun orders placed in my store:
1. Order from Denmark, November 2010
Upon returning from Denmark on Thanksgiving Eve November 2010 I re-opened my
store. The next morning there was an order from Denmark. Not really that interesting
or ....
While I was in Denmark I had visited a relative in Copenhagen. The very first
order that I received upon re-opening my store came from a Bricklink member who
lives two apartments above the relative I had visited. He uses the exact same
stairway to enter his apartment as I had used when I visited my relative. My
relative does not know this member. ... You may look at Denmark as "a grain
of salt" (as Piet Hein would say), but for some Danes, Denmark is 'huge'.
2. Order # 2000000 around January 29, 2011.
This was still the time there was a lot of hype about order numbers that end
with '000000'. I wasn't home when this order was placed (but I do
remember exactly where I was). I did notice that I had received order 2000000
as I had my cell phone. For me it feels like there were hundred of Forum messages
just related to this order. Perhaps the actual number was closer to 10.
3. Order from Holland, November 16, 2016
I received an order from a Dutch member who added a question to the order "How
much would Priority Mail cost". I sent a message to the Dutch member that
I've the same question for you (as I was heading to Amsterdam the following
week). I ended up mailing the order from a post office in Amsterdam.
Thanks for all the fun over the years!
Cheers,
Hanne

Wait! Didn't get a chance to do the praising
I'll do it now For the last few weeks due to circumstances, we've not
been able to prepare our usual shared evening meals, my daughter and I. So it's
been pizza a few times a week. Some very good pizza I gotta say. But I think
we're both getting somewhat tired of it at this point.

| I've a few coincidences out of the thousands of orders I've had.
My family lives spread out over the UK, I have had orders from someone who lives
on my dad's road, my sister's road and the road I grew up on. None of
these buyers know us.
I have also had a sale from a guy who I was in the process of buying from eBay.
For the same value as well, which confused me enormously looking at my paypal
account.
One thing that hasn't happened but would be great is to make a sale to a
buyer that I know from outside the lego world.
