Uncle Frank!
You really know how to make a girl cry don't cha?
The sun has not been out in two weeks. (Fla) Been wanting to walk down to the beach. Funny! Looked up from reading your post and the sun was shining so bright, came right through my window. Makes me think that everything is gonna be alright.
Ya might say I am a little selfish. I love the feeling that comes from seeing each and every porcher supporting one another. They do that so well. Nice to be able to say that the regular porchers have never really had a disagreement that I can think of.
I know some folks don't feel real comfortable around a bunch of loving folks. I think it might be a Southern thang! Sorry! I had to say that. You see the complaints never come from a Southerner. Southerners are very attracted to this board and I think it has a lot to do with what is going on here.
Now don't get me wrong....everyone is welcome on this board. But we sure wish they would be willing to open up and let us show them how good it feels to care about someone else's bottom line and not just your own.
I have one porcher that lost approx. 75% of his portfolio this week. I asked him if he was alright? His answer to me was. "There are a lot more important things than money." That is what a porcher is all about. I had another gentleman tell me he wanted to stay in the market to be able to be on the porch. That is what a procher is all about.
I speak for our regular porchers (You see I can do that. I know how they feel.) They would say they are very proud to be a porcher. We make every one feel welcome and it is sad that every one can't be a porcher. You can't just wanna be, you gotta be. You gotta have a lotta soul, lotta love and be willing to share that love. Some people just not into it. Kinda sad don't cha think?
You know Uncle Frank, I never in my wildest dream thought we could find this many wonderful people on an electronic box such as this. I've always heard you can count ya friends on one hand. I'd have to put your hands and feet together with mine to have enough to count the friends I have met here. Yep! And I value each one of them.
We all hurt today, not only for ourselves but because so many of our regular porchers are hurting.
My prayer is that somehow, someway they can pull things together and be back with us.
How sad to see a father with money and no joy. The man studied economics, but never studied happiness.?
We thank you for your post. It will mean a lot to all of the regular porchers.
I want to personally thank Clappy, Coonaz, Joel and Polvie they are a lot of help not only on the front line but help with the background pm'ing as well. Tech, thank you for being our social director, Red for being our photographer. Thanks to every one of the porchers just for being yourselves. I love you guys, gals and depy dog.
I love ya,
