    I’m still alive and read many posts. I don’t play piano anymore. Although I’ve little to contribute, I enjoy discussion of newsworthy topics. Many of you are very intelligent and articulate. This makes me think and keeps my mind young. Thank you. I too want to thank the devoted tech minds who’ve upgraded the forum over the years and communicated seamless viewer links.

    Everybody has an opinion. As always, yours is just as valid as anybody else's in this joint.

      My opinion is generally more valid than others, in that I am able to answer specific questions about where my opinions come from, where others retreat, content with their emotional truth. However, emotional truths are always welcome here.

      Education is extremely important.

        Oh, congratulations to those who’ve wed and had babies! I keep everyone who endures the medical stuff in my thoughts & prayers (no cliche .. it’s truth). George, I just may, just try going on a really slow & short trail ride. It’s been on my bucket list for years.

          Wow I remember when he joined and there was a long debate if he was a sock puppet or not. As moderator I had to try to figure that out but ultimately didn't do anything IIRC. I recall his first mentions of being sick were even thought as immature ploys to further his puppetry, which obviously ended up not being the case.

          He and Lucy came to my place in Brooklyn, and later when he was sick he would stay at my London flat when he came up for treatment. (By then he was with a different girl and living in the south of England.)

          I spoke to him days before he died. He knew it was the end. I had tentative plans to visit him in the hospital but when the day came he wasn’t up to it.

            @blondie

            Howdy Blondie! How are things in Cowtown, Alberta? Will be passing through there on Stoney Trail come Saturday after three weeks in The land of Bring Cash on my back home to Edmonchuk.

            Hope all is well with you and the family. We should chat sometime- a lot of water under the bridge since we last spoke.

            Elbows up!

                  Blondie!!! Please stay and post with us as often as you can. You are always a ray of sunshine, and we need lots of that here.

                  You will also want to meet our new forum members, including our Cats. I think you two will get along very well and enjoy each other's humor.

                  Golly, it's so good to see you here again!

                    @brenda lol, today I can post a bit, as I put off domestic stuff. You & Apple I often think of. And admire. Both of you have accomplished so much on the home front. Cats’ posts make me smile.

                      @blondie Good to "see" you back

                      Same for @Tom-K @Frank_W etc who returned, hopefully not for a short term.

                      There is a Chinese saying - nothing brings a family together like weddings and funerals!! LOL

                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
