I just wanted to start a thread thanking Jim Oakes for this forum. With the economy the way it is I have personally saved a bunch of money doing stuff myself. This is the easiest forum to navigate I have found and just wanted to thank you Jim you are a true american. Kim

Agreed.

Like I say to the newbies who join us: "Pull up a chair, grab a cold drink, & watch for low-flying BS!!!!"

I will say that since I've joined, you guys have made me feel right at home. I thank Jim for promoting a culture of respect and tolerance in this community.

May TRS and all that visit this place live a happy life!
