In celebration of (semi-encouraged) retirement this year, blessings of late, and the goodness of SF activity (both directly and indirectly), it's about time for me to offer a karma to give back at least a measure of the blessing and benefits I've received.

To that end, Dave (of Mimi's; Thanks Dave!!) and I are offering a watch karma (watch details forthcoming from Dave). Watch will be sent directly to you from Dave / Mimi's.

In the spirit of the karma basis are a few minor eligibility requirements:

1) be active on SF (roughly 250 or more posts per year; that's not much considering I've easily doubled and I listen more than I contribute)
OR
2) are serving or have served (includes reserve) in mil/le (honor system since I can't verify).
OR
3) have patronized Mimi's before (again, honor system).

For #2 or #3, please indicate such if you don't qualify for #1.

Winner will be randomly selected at some future random date/time. (must respond via email in your public profile; for winner privacy, I'll just indicate a winner was selected).

Thank you SF for being there. And thank you to Para for providing this forum.

ETA: Here's the watch selected by Dave for this co-karma. I'd like to convey my appreciation to Dave for his contributions to SF karma's. As we all know, not just great offerings, but the frequent as well. He's a role model for kindness for me. And you could set your watch by his karma's.

Lucky #1?

Congratulations!!!!

I satisfy 1&3. Please enter me.

I'll take unlucky #1 in this generous karma.

I'm pretty sure I qualify under #1, bt if not I do qualify un #2 as retired LE

Edit: HA...saved from unlucky #1 by slow fingers

Please include me for consideration. I’m right around 250 posts per year, maybe a little shy, but I’ve spent 20 year in Law Enforcement on a full time basis and am actively serving part time if that combo is enough for me to qualify. Thank you very much for your generosity.

Thank you sir.

I have done all three.

1. 13330 Posts prior to this one.
2. US Army, 3ID, 1992-1995
3. I have patronized the services of Mr. Truong, and will likely do so again.

Congratulations on your retirement!!!!!
You made it!

I've done all three things. lol. I'm currently wearing the last watch I bought from Mimi's. It's my work watch. In year 27 of LE but I think they are trying to kill me. They just told me that in December because of the other night shift sgt's surgery, I will have to work every night in December. I told them to promote someone already. I have 27 years of acculumated sick time I can use. I think I've called off 48 hours in my 27 years here.

Congrats on the retirement!

Please include me. Thanks!

All good on 1 2 and 3. I'd love to have one of those watches. Thanks for the chance. Dave is a stand up honest gentleman.

Add me please.
I am recently retired LE and then joined a new agency still doing LE. I have bought a few watches from Dave for myself and a number of pieces of jewelry for my wife from Dave as well.

I satisfy 1 and 3. Please add me!

Thank you.

Not OK on #1 but served 6 years Army National Guard finishing as 1LT

Please include me, thanks

Congratulations with your retirement. I am close behind. Add me please. US Army 96-04. Thanks for the chance.

Please include me. Thanks and congrats on the upcoming retirement. You will love it.

Congratulations on your retirement!

I'm pretty sure I meet 1)

Mimi's is our "family" jeweler. I've made several purchases from David over the years and my wife bought me my Molon Labe ring from there. Our son and his wife are second generation customers having bought their wedding rings from him. So 3) as well

No military service and not LE.

I would be honored to have this watch. Thanks for the karma.

Thanks for the chance. I think I barely qualify for number 1.

Oh as someone who is entering that fully retired phase of life, I’m in (cause my wife thinks I’m just being lazy now)

Retired US Navy Aircraft Electrician (1982-2005)

Three watches from Dave, all Citizen Eco. One when my first company sent me to Iraq, one for my son when he joined the US Army, and one (the diving watch) when i earned my MBA-Aviation

And a General Atomics / USAF Predator challenge coin sent to D in thanks.

Put me in, I qualify for #1 condition, thanks.

Please add my name.

#1 and I have bought from Dave, so #3 also

Thanks

Congratulations on getting to the next, and some say, the best phase of your life!

Please consider me. I meet 1 and 3.

Thank you.
