Share This Thread End of an era Dale Lindsey (7695) WholeNote Forum 7/22/2009 10:53:20 PM · 54 Views [Respond to this Message] For the first time in I don't know how long (I really don't - I click on my messages and it says "No such member exists") Wholenote is not my home page. It just seems like nothing is happening here anymore. This was once my favorite place on the web. Times move on. Still it is kind of sad. The end of an era.

I still check things here on a semi regular basis, but if and when my points are next to old Uncle Rex's I'll retire my account. It's hard to let things go I guess. Right now I'm growing cocao trees and making fine milk chocolate from their fruity beans. I suppose the fates will give me diabetes now for sure! I give some guitar lessons on weekends. Some close friends are the organizers of the Chicago "peace fest" in Linclon Park but I didn't even bother playing this year.

The work home page became the default one for our job years ago, but it has been the same at home all this time. I guess I will still check in from time to time. Oh well, see y'all on Facebook! -Dale

A choral group that I was in as a teenager (where I met my wife) is getting ready to put together its 40-year reunion (that's right - 40! Man I feel old!) and they started a Facebook page. So far it has worked very well as a central point to gather people together. I have my homepage on Facebook now so I can see who has been contacted so far when I log in. Once the reunion is passed, we will see what my new homepage turns out to be. Never know what the future holds. But at least two of the people I used to hang out with here at Wholenote are on Facebook, too. Maybe there are some more out there. That's the nice thing about this site - we used our real names (most of us anyway) so we can sometimes find each other again. -Dale

I checked in a couple times a day, everyday. Now I mostly peek in once a week or so to see if anything's going on or if there's an old buddy or two hangin' out. Like ya say, time moves on. Been hangin' out more at Kirk's site and JS...both of those sites include a healthy number of old Wholenote members. I still love this place, though...kinda like I'll always love that young widow down the street that got my cherry when I was a young'un, lol. Lord, how sweet the memories!! Later, Edd

Just after the last article about how this site is closing down or not what it used to be there is a pause and the subject is re-posted. Enjoy the site for what it is. Ok its old and does not have the shiny new website look or smell, but it works and is a great site if your looking for info. If all you want to do is complain about how the site was so much better in 1985 then talk to your shrink if it means so much to you. I always thought having a look through the archives was a bit of the thing to do before posting in the open forums. I'm just sick of this subject always coming up.

It's a good site for what it is i.e. information, advice etc. Enjoy it and stop whinging about how it was better years ago ! Take care all, keep on playin' Martin
