Last night I came to the conclusion that I don't really belong here. I don't make jewelry, I don't have the resources to travel to distant ports, etc. I got what I wanted from the list and that was to learn how to string my wife's pearls. For that I say thank you! It has been fun but I really do not have anything to add to most of the discussions so I think it is best if I stop trying to pretend. Just leaving this note incase somebody notices and wonders where I went. All is well and I am just signing off. Thanks!
