I’m just now signing out. I’m so tired.

God bless and keep you and your Chianti, dearest Marine_Uncle!
I’m completely in favor of it for dearest, cherished you!
You and Ernest are much more knowledgeable and also deeper thinkers on these issues than me and I so appreciate being included and reading your erudite thoughts. I learn from you guys.

I’m looking forward to reading TigersEye’s thoughts.

Good night, you guys. My prayers and love!

"I learn from you guys."
Then it should be in duty that all at this site and like minded sites for all to provide at least honest thought out discourse that can perhaps be found to be factual in the end.
We have a lot of very good folks at this site. I think over time people get to the point, that they feel, often, what is the use of trying to carry out a solid point.

I also have felt privileged over the years to hear opinions from quite a few long time Freepers, and some not so old in time.

I would like to salute all those that for years have contributed meaningful and accurate information to this site.
Many I no longer see popping up. Then see some well beyond my entry date pop up with some solid remarks.

In closing onyx. Aside from your gracious approval of my "wine project", I must say. We do have a large group of people who have not left the site apparently, still on occasions making terse statements, and longer, and to the point required. As I write I hope you are comfortably asleep under HIS almighty hand, soon to seek the sunlight in your window and get ready for another day.

And I am mildly impressed with many of the newer members. Some are just as well positioned to offer positive and factual discourse at this site. No response required if none are needed.
You often are to the point. No BS. No cute remarks. Only inert wisdom. Take care.
