Hello all. When I was talking to Ray on the phone yesterday, and told him about all the thoughts and prayers sent to me, he was overwhelmed. He said he would love to post something, and I told him I would write it down, and get it on here. Besides his thanks for all the well wishes, he, of course, being CT, wanted to make a polit[ic]al statement. With the gracious help of AF Phys, who is and always has been, one of Ray's favorite FReepers made sense of my scribblings. So below is the post, what I was able to convey what Ray was telling me, clarified by AF Phys. Whether you agree or not, this was a joint effort, and I am so glad that I can get Ray's words on here again.

Love and prayers, Lisa

With great respect for CommonTator, I took notes scribed by Lisa from her phone conversation with him. I've done my best to flesh those notes out in the direction I believe he was heading to smoothly argue for that truth. In the process, I've expanded the notes by about a factor of four. Areas between [*** . . . ] I've added for clarification, not simply as interpretation of Lisa's notes. I've done my best to be true to his direction, and any failure in this presentation to effectively argue or present his points with his typical eloquence is solely mine. He may have removed some parts if he had chance to fact check, but I believe the argument does not rest on any such sections. - ###AFPhys

MeekOneGOP, thanks for the ping. Prayers for Commontater's family and friends.

How awesome that Commontater found the strength, and the fight, to post one last time!

Printing money, inventing money, spending money, borrowing money and creating "work"... de ja vu. There is a significant difference today from that "great depression", IMHO... we are not that society, not that people. Yes, there are still stout hearted folks. But, we are generally speaking another breed.

God's speed, Commontater!
