Good morning Ron matey and welcome from a very wet Sussex.
Welcome to the forum Ron. There are quite a lot of lovely people on here
from the States of the USA. So they should pop in when they see
your statement.
Hope you enjoy the selection of people on here as that diversity is what
makes this a great site for chatting. 
Morning Ron, already ‘greeted’ you on another thread, but welcome.
Janet
Not enough in my opinion Ron - and a big welcome to a Louisianan too - the grandest of all states I hear!!
I personally enjoy reading the opinion of ordinary US citizens - not so much the sanitized drivel we tend to get served-up by our media!
