C&F continually reminds me that I'm not all that bright.
Thanks C&F! We all need to keep it in perspective.
And it's a fine thing to struggle against one's own limitations.
Keeps ya' in shape.

I've often said C&F is the "fount of all wisdom". Some may think I'm joking, but I'm not. Where else could I go and find someone who not only knows a little about something, but is an expert at whatever I ask?

how to fix a computer problem?
what whistle do I want?
who should I be listening to music wise?
what books are good?
Youtube...what's that?
explanations of Dublin speak?
what's going on in the world at large and what do they think of US/
religion/politics:o
what kind of tank is in my dad's old WWII pictures?

That's just the short list.

C&F makes me think.
You folks are amazing.

This place has enriched the life of this ol' mountain gal, and I've come to think of many here as friends. :)

I'm with Cowtime. This amazing bunch of people has come through with all sorts of information for me time and time again-- restaurant suggestions in unfamiliar cities, computer problems, sources for all sorts of music etc.
I've made tons of great friends online here, some of whom I've been lucky enough to meet in person.
And of course, this community has made it possible for me to make and sell my whistles literally worldwide, making many international friends in the process. At upwards of 300 whistles this has allowed my wife and me to see and do some wonderful things and in some tough times to simply pay the bills.
People often complain that the internet alienates people, but in this instance it brings us all closer. Thanks Dale!

We thank you for the wind and rain
The sunshine and the flowers
We thank you for the moon and stars
The minutes and the hours
We live each day as best we can
And wake up with new friends
For when the nights have turned around
The days begin again.

Wow, Strawbs! I hadn't thought about them in years. Thanks for that blast from the past and memory of one of my favorite groups back then!

By far the best entertainment/info site online.

And, yes, Dale, you may quote me, although I'm an unlikely, um, source.
Every time I turn around, I wonder where I've been.
Time to stop turning round, I guess.

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Amen to all. Great place. Source of many friendly aquaintances, no true enemies, and a few true friends. Hard to do much better than that.

Plus, if I flunk out of grad school, it will be because of all of you. :)

And that's the best thing of all. A ready made scapegoat!
I'm no longer trying a new posting paradigm
