We don't always agree but I always appreciate conversations with you.
Keep the faith.
Eko.

Get your butt back here.

I, for one, will miss you while you're gone.

Have a Great Break.. Recharge, Regoup, and Refresh!

and please, continue to voice your thinking and opinions........

Am certain that I have pissed a few off with my intolerance of lots of things lately.

Keep on keeping on.

I wish you a meditative and peaceful break from the interwebs!

MCE, looking forward to your return...I've also needed to stand down briefly to recharge, have some chow, clean the carriage, bolt, clips... grab a tour of the rain locker and then retire to the patio to watch hummingbirds...the battle awaits your return...take care of yourself...regarding the ME, nothing good will happen while nobody in charge wants the insanity to stop...cheers, OSD (3 yr FMF HM)

Take whatever time you need. We’ll be here.

Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug!!!!!

The Middle East War is upsetting. Just want the war to stop and innocent people be safe.

... and a 6-pack of beer (and kind); drink 6 Boilermakers; and, don't worry about it. It doesn't matter.

Later....

It ended on a civil note and with me wondering why I enjoyed arguing (not prickly arguing) with you, even though we didn't agree. I've read yr posts on Gaza/Israel/Lebanon. They don't offend me, but I doubt we'd go more than a few posts before we mutually realised our views are incompatible and we'd sneer at each other a lot and you'd maybe call me a Hamas supporter and I'd go *pfft* and call you a Kahanist. I steer clear of the issue in GD because I've realised that DUers that I think are total ignoramuses on that one issue are the same people who I agree with totally when it comes to just about everything else, with clearly the most pressing issue now being making sure Kamala Harris wins the election and sends the Trumpenfuhrer to obscurity. If ever you do want to have a bit of an argument about the I/P conflict, I've been a resident of the I/P forum since November 2002, and would welcome a buzzword-free discussion in a quieter environment.

Stay safe and well, and know that most Australians are hoping that Harris and Walz win this election. I'm following it much more closely than I have any previous US election...

Hard to do right now, but so important.

I have not been in any threads about the ME lately so I don't have anything to be mad about, but I doubt that I'd be upset about anything you've said. Whatever you did say I'm sure was said in good faith and real concern about what's going on over there, and I could never fault you for that, even if I disagreed about some of the specifics.

Until you return, you stay frosty, too, and keep the faith. We ARE going to win win this thing. I keep telling myself that, because I can't bear to contemplate any other outcome - but at least part of me really does believe it.

I will close with this, because I think the Marines have THE best slogan in the world: Semper fi!

Airborne Ranger.

Rangers Lead The Way, Along with the Marines.

actually sounds like a good idea. My thing is, if I don't like something someone posts, I can skip to the next post if I don't have an argument to refute their point.

We all have opinions and should be able to voice them, whether or not we agree.

We'll be here when you come back.

And if you offended anybody ... well, gruntspeak ain't for everyone.

That pissed me off. Next time try harder, slacker.

Semper Fidelis, 'Jar Head'.

than we disagree.

Stay safe and return soon.

Hopefully not too long. I don't always agree with what you post but I respect your contributions to this site.

many thought that I was taking a few days off from DU because of what might have been said or done here, that couldn't be further from the truth, I took a few days off because of my very busy schedule, but now I'm back until the next busy schedule.

Check out this website. These are all colored pencil drawings of Tractor Trailers......Not pictures.
