Hello all, to the newbies and long time members. Without much of your information and DD many of us would have been very discouraged long ago. Introduced to SLI by Murry when it was a "Diamond in the Rough" with their diamond mine near Duck Lake in northern Sask. (kind of like this old girl). I was thinking I was getting into this for the diamonds, not gold, but very glad for the way it's turned out. I believed Murry then (over 8 years ago) and I believe him now. That man should be shown the utmost appreciation for all he has put up with. Few could do his job (I sure as heck couldn't). Have not sold a single share and have no intentions of doing so now. Yes, it's been a long wait but this year should be ours. Kind of disappointed with the share price this week but instead of whining I bought some more. So, looking forward to retirement like many of you out there, and, like Two Dogs, going back to my little spot in the corner. Good luck to all.

P.S. Also here to give Mrscramer some competition. If I get overwhelmed by the attention I'll send some her way, "wink wink".
