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.  https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...950067715#4950067715This message has been edited.

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. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Age Quod Agis |
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.

For real? |
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. Not minority enough! | |||

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. "Someday I hope to be half the man my bird-dog thinks I am." looking forward to 4 years of TRUMP! | |||

I have bought a few watches from Dave for myself and a number of pieces of jewelry for my wife from Dave as well. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

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. __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||

Thanks for the chance. I think I barely qualify for number 1. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

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.
