Same. Shoot.
I know for myself, the amount of time I spend here varies greatly over time, depending on what else is going on in my life (including where I am in the grading cycle for a term).
I found myself getting more and more aggravated over the COVID section, so severely reduced my exposure (pun intended) to er.org for awhile. Now I mostly just avoid those threads (except for the good news thread which even there gets polluted with non-good news and continual "the world is gonna end" posts).
Hopefully, brewer will reappear. I really appreciated his posts, especially during the financial crisis days when I was hunting for preferred's and bonds that I thought would survive the crisis.
Peace to all of you.

Wait wha? Isn't Rich in Tampa the doctor who shifted to California? and he is among the deceased? Or am I mistookeld or thinking of the wrong Rich.

No, same Rich, unfortunately. He passed too soon.

Such sad news about Rich.
He was a delightful, compassionate man. As busy as he was, he was always willing to help. He calmed my nerves when my dh was diagnosed with cancer. He was good man...I'll never forget him.

Yes, Rich was lovely. I really enjoyed him. He did post much less after retiring, and even less after relocating to CA.

Well this ruined my day. Rich was such a gentleman and until a couple of hours ago I thought he was busy enjoying his life in CA.

The Covid info definitely cuts both ways. Good info but also too much PC-ness and hand-wringing. And some of those worry-boxes are held very tightly.
But it remains a fantastic forum with great contributors. I do enjoy and appreciate the non-covid stuff more.

Somehow I missed the passing of imoldernu and Rich-in Tampa.... Maybe we need an "In Memorian" section or sticky thread.

That is a good suggestion. I missed hearing about both of those members. They were terrific contributors.

Rich in Tampa passed? I had no idea. I remember he was the doctor who relocated and change his screen name. I just assumed he was enjoying his retirement years.

I hate to hear about Rich too. He was always helpful with his medical expertise.

I thought "perpetual traveler" was the moniker given members who have gone to the next world?
As for Brewer, he's a prepper of sorts, who can live off the land and do pretty much anything. He's probably in his element right now, weaving his own toilet paper.
