Eric, thanks for your note. I felt truly honored. I put up a new profile that I'm very proud of. If you get a chance, check it out. I think it states clearly where I am coming from. :-)

Hey Eric, thanks for being a part of the fun I've had out here. You enjoy controversy, debating, and expressing yourself with the same passion I feel. However, in the past few days, the fun has turned into an organized daily hassle that's unlikely to go away. More to the point, I'm unable to envision any form of personal or practical accomplishment in overcoming this group that is so insignificant with absolutely nothing to contribute anyway. I look forward to reading more of your stuff, along with many others out here, but it's unlikely I'll be making more comments unless I feel I have no other choice. I'm not actually retreating per se. I'm returning my attention more to plan A while I reevaluate the pros and cons that the Patch offers. Take care. Mac

Eric.I enjoyed your comment on pumpkin palooza... We raised over 400.00 for The Barnegat First Aid Squad with that event. Well heres what November brings
Thanksgiving Extravaganza... with a portion of our proceeds going to The Barnegat Fire Dept. Hope you can join us for it :)

I'm got the eggs. Who's got the shaving cream?

I believe Mr. Giles does much for all the first responders. My lady has heard some people opine that he is a fraud. I think such comments are baseless and cruel. I have read that Mr. Giles has major physical problems due to his service at Ground Zero. Anyone who challenges his integrity should trade places with him. Thanks, Mac.
