Double Unboxing!!
Today I Got to Open TWO packages!
One was a surprise. The other was expected but had an extra little surprise inside.
Let’s see what the gift gods sent my way today.
First: A Work Thing
My department recently contracted with a consulting firm. Their job is to study the feasibility of expanding/relocating an existing medical clinic. As part of the engagement, the consulting team is conducting a current state assessment where they interview ALL the people... docs, executives, community leaders, external partners, etc.
Guess who set up ALL of their interviews?
Me!!! 😄
I probably arranged 40-50 meetings for our consultants. Sadly, I have about four more to make! But this didn’t stop them from leaving me a lovely gift.
Wisconsin’s finest spices.
Nice.
The spices are a small thing, but it is still a thoughtful gesture. It is lovely when people go that extra little step to say thanks. If that thanks involves food... well that is even better. ☺️
Next: A Steemit Thing
You may not have heard, but the #steemsilvergold community is hosting their THIRD MONSTER RAFFLE! The folks @ssg-community enjoy collecting precious metals usually in the form of gold and silver coins, bars and rounds. Some members collect for investment purposes, others for aesthetics. The MONSTER RAFFLE is held every few months to raise steem/SBD which is then used to support community initiatives.
What gets raffled?
Members of #steemsilvergold each find an item to donate to the raffle. These items are either silver or gold (though this time some bitcoin is included). Tickets are sold for 1 SBD each (sent to @ssg-community) and on November 24th there will be a LIVE draw on the #steemsilvergold discord. All of steemit is invited to participate, and the donations will be sent (postage paid donator) anywhere in the world! Check out the tag #mosterrafflethree to see what is on offer, or visit a handy post out together by community member @summertooth HERE.
So, back to the Steemit Thing.
About a week ago, community member @stokjockey made a post showing his donation to Monster Raffle Three. You can see it HERE. The donation includes two items I was super jazzed to see. The first was a 1 oz silver bar with a Christmas Theme. The second item was a 1oz silver tuna coin from Tokelau. This coin is the first in what will be a 12 Coin series. I have the entire series that has been released so far EXCEPT FOR THE TUNA!!!
I mention this in my comment to @stokjockey, and wouldn’t you know... he has another one he offers to sell me! A little PayPal magic and BOOM, the 2014 Tokelau Tuna Coin is in MY mailbox. 😍
Hi there fishy! 🐟 You are looking mighty fine today!
@stokjockey also incuded this lovely note:
Hello D,
Thank you for your business. Be careful, your tuna Amy have some mercury with your fish. It’s OK though since this mercury is 90% silver. Enjoy, stokjockey.
Cryptic message...
HUH?
Well SNAP!!! Not only in there a Tuna in my package, but there is also a little lagniappe. @stokjockey also through in a 1944 Mercury Dime!
Old dimes are the best dimes.
The 1944 dime is 90% silver. A lot of collectors purchase old coins for their silver contest as well as their rarity. This is my very first old dime!
Thank you @stokjockey for adding a little more diversity to my silver stack!
Two acts of random kindness in ONE day! It doesn’t get better than this. ☺️

Great unboxings, @dfinney! WOW... you do important work! Kudos. And you love to cook, like me... spices are always welcome, right?
Oh, my!!! You got the Tokelau Yellowfin Tuna... those are hard to come by! How thoughtful of @stokjckey to send you a Merc... love the silver dimes... can't have enough of those! Great article, my friend! Have a beautiful day.
Hi @silversaver888,
I was definitely a lucky gal yesterday. The spices smell sooo good! The tuna and dime are great. The tuna hasn’t been available online at the regular sites so it was great @stokjockey had an extra to sell! I hate seeing a series incomplete. ☺️
@dfinney What a Great Post and it is Cool to see a little Mercury in your TUNA.......LOL
Thank You Again
The mercury with the tuna was SUPER clever! Thank you again. ☺️ Both coins are great and are staying in the stack always. ☺️

How awesome! Unexpected gifts are the best and now you have a sweet old dime.
Will one become many?
I love it! It’s so cool when people step up, and over, what is the norm. The Tuna is a beauty and the Merc dime is one o my fave coin faces anywhere. Cool af d-fin!
It’s the little things that make life good stuff. ☺️
That was nice of them to give you something. Great pick up from Stokjockey, and I know how much you love dimes....🤣
You never love another dime more than your first. ☺️ 💰
