Hi David:

Sorry for the slow reply, the editor for this board suddenly wouldn't work on my iPad. But I just thought to check and found that I could reply from my PC.

I saw that you're originally a Texan, I take it that you have retired to Thailand - how nice for you. I loved Thailand every time I've visited for work or vacation. I was VP, Engineering for a US based healthcare company and we had a facility near Bangkok so I had a chance to do a few projects in Thailand. Extraordinary people (kind, hard working, resourceful, appreciative) that I worked with there. I'm a Canadian just recently retired to my cabin on the shores of Lake Huron. As compared to world travel, I absolutely love retirement!

You are a very generous friend and I really appreciate all your gifts. Since you've asked, it'd be great if you split your gifts between wish list items and paid items. I'm after the collection award for 2500 collections but I have a long ways to go. But your paid item gifts have really helped me to avoid the frustration of waiting to play a picture.

I seem to have the same routine as you, I first gift back and only then accept the gifts left by friends. But for quite a few days I have 45 gifts from you but only time to return 30 and so I've been carrying a balance of 15 unreturned gifts for quite a while now. Would you let me clear that balance of 15 without reciprocation and then we can keep the gift exchange manageable at ~30/day.

My most hearty appreciation for finding such a generous friend, John
