@nifty and other staff appreciation thread... :)

[flowerbug]

i know that normally people at the other end of things don't often hear from someone unless there's a problem so i thought while i had a moment to express appreciation instead and to say that everything looks to be going well here for me.

*hugs* and *smiles* and *thumbs up* and of course THANK YOU!

p.s. i'm not sure that the @Nifty in the subject line is considered a tag or not so i'll put it here too.

Awww... that's so nice of you to post this!!!! (and I really appreciate the tag)!

I've been SUPER swamped with really huge house changes / updates, so I haven't been able to post as much as I'd like...
(for example, today's project includes:


Fortunately my girlfriend has been incredibly inspirational with our garden and we've planted more this season than I have in the past 10 years! For example, we've got 3 varieties of basil... about 4-8 plant each!!! She loves making basil-pork and LOTS of pesto!!!

... and of course, busy on the backend keeping everything running smoothly for all you awesome peeps!!!

Oh plumping! Everybody's favorite pastime!
Thanks to @flowerbug for starting a gratitude thread, and thanks @Nifty and all the unseen help that keep the forums operational!

i'm glad to hear that you are doing well there and enjoying other things besides managing all us others and the respective sites.

and as @thistlebloom notes plumping is one of our favorite topics...

now, this gardening you speak of. i'm glad to hear of it and i hope she is enjoying her time in the gardens.

i have yet to grow any basil at all. some year, some year...

I like your girlfriend. Seems to have her priorities right.

 

[Nifty]

Y'all are WAY too kind!

Honestly, TEG is AMAZING because of members like you! I'm just lucky enough to have you here and to have just barely enough skills to keep this place running smoothly.

I would like to chime in MY thanks, too!!!
You didn't HAVE to create and maintain this site and forum, and I genuinely appreciate it!!

Haven't been on in awhile but I am definitely thankful to everyone who keeps this site and the others running smoothly. I know people have their personal life that needs their focus first and foremost, but thanks for taking the time to help out here.

TEG, BYH and SS are such a part of my life, I would feel so lost without them. @Nifty you have created a community of like minded people who have made friends, celebrated and grieved with life's ups and downs. We share our lives, pictures, advice, ask for help and receive it from others more knowledgeable than ourselves. Most of all, we are not alone. Many of us are the only ones in our circle of friends and family that are a little "different". Ok, Ok, maybe a LOT "different"!! LOL LOL

Thank you for all that I have received here and on the other forums. It is much more than I have given. I give thanks.
