Just wanted to say hi, longtime lurker. As someone else stated this site has helped me keep my sanity over the last several years as well. I’m awed by the level of discussions and have learned a lot.
Thanks Fog”nothing wrong”gy!

While I feelz for Foggy that the Fogbow had a power outage, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's introductions even though I may not have commented on your post.

Who knew uninformed was a horse person? And there is another Coastie who posted on Maybenaut's intro. Long time lurkers have become commenters. Crisis begets opportunity. :D

Having lurked for a couple of years, I joined a couple of years ago.
And lurked some more.
I have barely posted.

I’m a storyteller/carver/cook/martial artist/home schooler because pandemic.
The legal expertise and the quality of banter and posts here helps clarify things or alerts me to issues/articles.
As a Green Card holder who moved here during the Obama years, I have been greatly saddened by the last years.
So much so that we have even seriously considered leaving.
The election eased that tension.
Shoulders have dropped, sleep is easier to find.
And yet the undercurrent of insanity needs adressing.

I hadn’t realized how much visiting here was important to me until it went “poof”
Foggy, thank you for providing an oasis.
I’ll show up one of those Tuesday nights.
It’s bed time for my 5-year old so it is not at an obvious hour.

I posted this in another thread. I hope it helps.
On here, it took me a while to learn how to post an image. If you find an image you want to post, right-click on the image; click on copy image location; here, click on the little box on the top of the posting box between the "snow flake" and the "chain." Paste the image. I always preview first because some images don't seem to post, but most do.

I hope this helps. There could be others here who could explain it better.

Or if you are on iPads, look for the “Attachments” tab below the editing box, and upload an image from your photos. Then click “inline”.

Wisconsin native, Portland OR resident. Mostly a lurker here but occasionally post. Good to get the lawyerly perspective on the events of the day (retired software, structural engineer).

Hello Fogbowers,
I am a long-time lurker (since Y'allQueda at Malheur), posting for the first time.
Thanks especially for all the excellent dissection of the 60 plus election lawsuits. I learned a lot! Also, too, love the word-play.
That's all.
Carry on. ;)
