Admiration

I Admire all of those that have taken the time to do the research The growing of snakes and the breeding for themselves..

Seeing baby Balls come out of the egg is Super rewarding.
I owe most of My success in this Hobby to Douglas Beard Of Flora and Fauna For helping me through the hard times and Selling me top quality animals years ago to start my collection.
There have been many others I have bought from some good and some bad.
I also Admire all the other pioneers of the morphs... PK RDR VPI NERD SK.... All but the origonal producer of the albino balls.

Kara and Kevin of NERD are amazing people and I will always strive to demonstrate as much passion and compassion for all my animals as they do for ALL of theirs. To watch them with animals is truly "chicken soup for the soul!" :D

Dave and Tracy Barker for their astonishing wealth of knowledge that they work so hard to share with the world. I would happily spend hours and hours (and however long they would tolerate me :P ) sitting at their feet to just absorb a fraction of that!

And many great folks here at BP.net...

Matt (Smulkin) for keeping it running when it seemed like everyone else had jumped ship....and then sticking around even when it joepardized his health to do so.

Chris (Cueball) for being so incredibly warm and generous.

Joanna (frankykeno) for the depths of wisdom she brings and shares with us all.

Robin (rabernet) for being such a dear friend and a shoulder to lean on.

And the entire Admin Team and Staff...because they dedicate SO many hours of their lives to this site for no other reason than to help those who are looking for help.

Mega-stress coming from his job that was increasing daily and getting worse and worse. He didn't have the time or the energy to deal with all the stuff that pops up around here (and at the time there was plenty) but he still did. He was literally making himself sick. For those that know him...keep him in your prayers, because work is still kicking his butt, but at least we're able to keep this weight off his shoulders for now. I miss him like crazy!

kara without a doubt for the light and joy she brings me.

dave and tracy barker for the time they gift others when they are asked.

jo for her amazing welcoming arms to me when i first came here.

laura for being a GREAT uniporn.

ben for being a wonderful friend and surrogate son.

there are more but it's too hot to continue LOL

no problem, it's true!

Oh gosh, the list of people I admire is just endless. To name the people I admire who are closest to my heart: Becky, Adam, Judy, Laura, Tim and Mon, Bob Clark, Mike Penn, Sprocket and Lynn, Christie, Derek, Joe, Jamie, Joanna, and I know I'm leaving off so many others.

But the person who inspires me the MOST....the guy with the biggest heart in the biz and who wants to help everyone have the best experience possible, and the guy who can't stand to have someone heartbroken....Chris, of course!

Um......Sort of like the Academy Awards....


I wish to thank Adam and Chris for the answers and inspiration and the soda all over the monitor :8:.

Kara, a BIG "Thank You!" for the virtual hugs, loving thoughts, and caring warmth during the hard times. :hug: :hug: (I still get weepy. :oops: THANKS!)

Jo for the lightheartedness. Becky for all the kindness and generosity of time for helping me with my rattie pets and their Rx needs---all my rat druggie questions.

Gin for the comraderie, Aleesha for the friendship from the beginning...we seemed to follow each other from site to site, there for a while. ;)

Jimi for the long-winded, long distance phone call on a early Sunday morning while he tutored and patiently answered my boa breeding questions and put up with my babbling discussion.

Tim and Monica for their patience and understanding and willingness to teach a newbie wanna-be breeder.

Evan and Bryan for their friendship.

Joe for his friendship and an awesome pet whom my daughter loves.

And sincerest apologies to the others who I've forgotten now, but will probably remember at 8:00 tomorrow while I'm trying to get to sleep. :rolleyes:
