Yep he was on the Bury Money thread, trying to write it off his taxes. 🙂

FOAS, that was two years ago, I think.

Nope. Four years ago. Time flies.

I do hope all is well with him.🤠

Oops I don’t know how I landed on that thread. I’ve deleted my post to un-bump it. Thanks! I, too, hope OJ is well.

Wasn't he posting recently under an "HU" user name?

Yeah the latest I found was on Dec 15th so it’s been a few weeks.

OJ is posting under a different screen name but I cannot remember what it was but he always signs it ol joyful so we can know it is him. IIRC he did have the HU name for a while but then it was a different name that I recently saw. I hope that he is OK, I know that he is no spring chicken! :)

Been wondering too. Doesn't he use the computers at the library? Maybe transportation has been an issue.

Ed if you see this please ck in when you can. You have a lot of KT friends thinking of you.

How can we start a new year without Ed?

It is snowing like h*ll where he lives and he walks to town.

Doesn’t someone here have a phone number? Or a last name?

He would chime in on the Smile thread on occasion. But he would also go through lapses where we wouldn't hear from him for awhile and then he'd show up again. I hope all is well with him. I always appreciate his quirky sense of humor.

Hopefully he didn't get locked out when the log-in with password and general posting trouble was going on recently.

I like his (your,hopefully you’re seeing this) point of view. I appreciate the sense of humor and I admire the joyful approach.

Hope you show up soon, and happy, OJ.

I have been issing himand thinking about him. His birthday is January 30th.

OJ, I hope you are doing welland will be back soon.

Good to see you back posting again.

Thanks for the update OJ...so glad to hear you're still hanging in there, carless and all!

Good to hear from you!

Glad to hear you're fine and doing well. Stay warm up there!

On your comment:

" I've supported charities by cheques, but that comes from bank account - after-tax money "

I suggest a different way to characterize it. If you take $100 from your bank account and make a charitable donation with it that you get a tax deduction for, that $100 becomes pre tax money.

Of course, if your tax bracket is low, the difference doesn't much matter.

Best wishes,

EF

Wow I am so happy I happened to just stumble on this post and see you posting and that you are well. Please keep us updated, ol. We missed you!!!!

So very glad to see you again, OJ! Every time you’re gone for awhile, I think you won’t be back; glad to be wrong yet again. You’re the Energizer Bunny, Ed. 😊

So happy to see you are able to post again. You have been greatly missed and hearing your good news is a highlight of my day.

Ed - you have been truly missed. And I'm so happy that you have finally been able to rejoin us here. It just wasn't the same without you and your wonderful outlook.

Good to hear from you! Stay warm!

Great to hear from you. We've all missed you!

I’m glad to see you here again! Take care OJ

Good to see you are back here again with us! Stay safe…and warm! I just happened to stumble on this thread too. Good that you got your phone sorted out.
