But of course! Wherelse can you go and find people to talk about Spam with!

Maybe at the Spam headquaters? ^_^

Wow! This is a great thread! I could give an Academy Award speech here myself...
I would like to thank tdyans for being a great guild leader, a good friend and someone always ready to help others with their problems.
I would like to thank leb388. I'm beginning to think of her as another sister of mine, because we may not always agree, but there is love in everything she says-- no matter how harsh on the exterior-- she has a heart as big as all outdoors.
I would like to thank patjade, hippiesoul, poy222, adoriblelapin, sol_luna_estrella, arnequis, meowth4, oily106, streaming_blue, linnen potter, simsman24000, rumikotakeshi, iluvpuppies986, starhamster42, epk, sara, calvinseviltwin, felabba and peachifruit for helping me with great advice, kind words and encouragement-- especially the last few days.
I would like to thank oddhatter for being the voice of reason and making me go back and really look hard at at the kindnesses shown to me here. When we think of all the good things in our lives, especially with the coming new year, we sometimes forget that the best things in our lives aren't things at all. They are people.
I want to thank everyone in this forum, especially those I might have missed mentioning, for making this forum a great place.
I would also like to thank scriptfox for writing a story with my sister and her Kyrii in it. She doesn't give me evil glares when I get into the Neopian Times anymore.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Ooops-- I forgot-- I want to thank ember188-- I think if there is an NT Award for "General Niceness Beyond the Call of Duty", she should get it.

Quick, let's get this over with before I start crying.

Thank you to everyone on this forum. Yes, I know it's too general, but hey, you know who you are.

Thanks to adoriblelapin for reassuring me that my work really doesn't stink, and showing me that people do actually like it.

Thanks to Josh Filan for tolerating my work and actually having the heart to publish it. Thanks for these past 24 publications, Josh.

Thanks to calvinseviltwin (or Megz) and Linnen Potter for being so downright cheery and friendly all the time. ^^

Oh, and you're welcome, stoneman! I'm glad I could help, and I'm glad you're feeling better.

Ehh...thanks to everyone else, too! You're all great, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2003!

Aww, thank you Peachifruit! That made me feel all warm and squishy inside! ^_^

[calvinseviltwin]

Half of me wats to hug you all, the other half wants to go barf. Yup! It's christmas! *sings the chimpmunk song*

Ahem... excuse the barf thing. I hate mushy gushy things.

[dustbustered]

Even though I've been with the forum for only a couple of weeks, I'd still like to thank everyone here for inviting me.

Merry Christmas to all! And a Happy New Year!

Wow. . . I'm speechless! Thanks, Stoneman, that really means a lot that you think so.

[calvinseviltwin]

Well everyone's now warm and fuzzy,,,

[Imposter Bluey]

Yes, but they're not fuzzy enough. Allow me to augment...

The Review Board will now review forum members for advancement:

Josh Filan - +5 to everything

My special cryptic way of thanking everyone in the forum for being overall just-really-darn-good people. People I can have pleasant, intelligent conversations with. People...with power.

Well, at least you were mentioned. I was never mentioned or acknowledged.

*Steps up to the podium as the microphone static squeals overhead* Right, my turn!

Thank you all very much for making this a place that's as much a retreat from life as a second home for me. Thanks for the wonderful stories, advice, meeping insanity, and the friendly faces... I can't see your faces, of course, but I feel as if I know you all maybe even better than I would with sight - amazing how deceiving appearances can be, eh?

I won't name everyone because that would just take too long, but I'll just extend a few wishes. If you're feeling down, I wish you find something to cheer you up and give you hope. If you're feeling happy, spread that around to others, because you have a valuable gift. If you're even here reading this, feel happy - this is truly a wonderful place to be.

Happy holidays, and happy new year too!
