July Karma!!!
Thanks for the opportunity for a great watch.

The forum has been a great source of information on Sigs. Became a Sig fan only a few years ago after gaining more knowledge on Sigs.

That’s a very nice looking timepiece Dave, thank you for the opportunity. I’ve learned so much from the forum, the biggest is that there is no place like it, the members here are an extended family, and that gives me hope!

Thanks for the chance! There have been many but two that come to mind are advice that I got from Brad that saved me a ton of money and a heads up from Warhorse about MSP selling Sigs that allowed me to spend some of that money!

That is a gorgeous timepiece, please count me in. What I like about the Sig forum is how a gun forum is not afraid to talk politics. Plus there are LOTS of really smart people on here with advice on almost any subject.

Nice looking watch. Please add me. Thanks, Dave.
For me personally, I consider the members of this forum as the friends I haven't met yet. There hasn't been a question, I've asked here that hasn't been answered.

Please add me in for a chance at your generous karma.

I don't know if I can reduce it down to just on specific thing, it's been more of a general, daily ebb and flow of little things that happen in life.

Please add me. Thanks!

Sigforum started as a way for me to learn about the guns I was most attracted to when I reached gun buying age.

I got that, but I also found a community of like-minded people from incredibly diverse backgrounds. A gun forum that somehow isn't about the guns. A group of people who would bend over backwards to help me if I was ever in trouble, even though I haven't met many of them in person.

That's what's kept me here all these years as I've found myself inactive on any number of other gun forums I joined at the same time.




"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

Just 1 good thing??? There are many good advice, karma, laughs, getting to know good people, etc. that came to me from SigForum.

But the 1 best thing was reading and responding to SigForum posts carried me through a pretty mentally rough part of my working career. I was able to focus away from things I didn't like to think about because I could not do anything about them anyway at the time.

That's priceless and certainly cost me a lot less than having to see a therapist.

Thanks for the chance, David, more so for the chance of thinking what SigForum means to me.

As I was sharing with friends on my official goodbye trip to California, if I knew how I would end up now many years ago, people would have been able to write books about me then and the title would "Faith Overwhelming" instead of "Faith Overwhelmed."



"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.

My beloved Maggie. A GSP who was generously given away by a board member here because she was gunshy. Only wanted a pet and she is just a tremendous dog. She was about 4 when this picture was taken, she is now 14 - somewhat arthritic, but in otherwise good health.



Thanks Dave.

Adios,

Dave, thanks for the karma opportunity!

One thing I've enjoyed is finding a like minded forum where much is shared and sometimes argued.

And I met some cool members at a So Cal dinner you hosted. And my daughter-in-law loves her wedding and engagement rings!

Thanks for the chance Dave!

This place has introduced me to many good people, both in person, and virtually.
The depth of knowledge here, and the willingness to share it is amazing.
There is a level of selflessness/community here that I've not seen in any of the many forums I've frequented over the years. Many of the members offer advice or even tangible good without hesitation, to those in need. The outpouring of generosity I've seen here is staggering at times.
