I'm gonna haft to DITTO that...... her kind but firm ways (when needed) really make her the best forum mom that there could be.... :sunny: And I applaud her patience! I know we must be :angered: B :twisted: D :angered: Sometimes!

Kara for being such a positive spirit, amazing woman and kick a$$ baker!

Becky for her wonderful rattie assistance. Without her wonderful homemade food blend my ratties wouldn't be half their chunky selves LOL

Christie for her undieing friendship and unending support... through laughter, tears and anything life/bp.net can toss our way.

Cue... for his wonderful cat... ;) I lub Jimmy!

Some more folks that I want to lift up:

Sheree, Nancy and Jody - for helping me, whether you ladies knew it or not, to be a better, more understanding mom to my oldest daughter. This means the world to me and I thank you more than I can really express. I wouldn't have thought a snake forum could possibly reach out into my life this way but it has due mostly to you three.

Sarah - for the unswerving dedication you showed to Trey/Emily. Anything we did on the forum was only in support of your determination to see this lovely little snake survive and thrive.

Marshall - to you and the other young herpers here who really strive to go beyond the stereotypical teenage snake owner. You make me incredibly proud that this site supports our younger herpers and you are the best example of being responsible, knowledgeable and caring. You make me wish I'd started much, much younger and I look forward to the years ahead for you in this hobby.

Sarah, for being my twin in so many ways :) I feel like I've got a friend in you, and that I can talk to you about just about anything. 'Cause--let's face it--whatever I'm feeling about a situation, that's probably how you'd feel, too ;) And, of course, you're Auryn's biggest fan.

Miss L, for posting pretty pictures, being a total sweetheart and making me smile all the time. You seem like a genuinely warm soul :) I've got love for you, L!

"Big up yourself" to

YOU - for being here, contributing, sharing and making this more than just another forum!

Judy and Raj - for their near-divine capabilities, both technical and inspirational. They alone have given me the comfort of knowing that as my job has changed from allowing a lot of free-time to now pushing ridiculous weekly hour totals that the technical aspects of running the site are in good and capable hands. They have allowed me to "rest assured". I do apologize for my extending absence - a promotion at work has me in knots trying to juggle everything the job entails.

Judy once again - for keeping me grounded when I am going all third-rail and helping maintain the sanity

All BPnet staff - past and present (and while we are at it future as well) - it can be 1000x more stressful than any of you imagined when you agreed to do it. That we have so many who are still sticking it out through thick and thin is a testament to their characters and their dedication.

Smynx - incredible woman who talked me into "inheriting" bpnet and helped me maintain sanity through so much. Working 2 jobs now and so she is a virtual ghost here - she sends her love and cheer and indomitable spirit and smile this way.

Godfather of course - for having given birth to this beast!!

Kara - long-time member and contributor on many a level - of course including the many generous prizes for the contests.

Vomitore - brother in grimness and awesome dude to chat with - EMG hookup man!

Green Man - thanks again for the very real and generous offer of assistance with content creation. I am sure you will be taken up on that!!

Thank you to my husband who puts up with my herd and me :love: .

Thanks to Robin whom I met on another forum and brought me on BP.net, we also got to meet last year at the Atlanta show, and I can tell you she is a real sweet person.

Thanks to Adam who is an inspiration, and recently gave me the pep talk I needed, that speaks volume!

Thanks to everyone here who make this forum a big (sometime dysfunctional) family, with whom I can share my passion.

Smulkin for being my masterful and metal brother in grim and frosted armor. A new found friendship in extreme metal has been forged. ARRRGH!


Westcoast for the great pets I purchased from him. Especially Abbath.

Lillyorchid for being kind enough to let me give a lil insight about guys and their thinking.

Kim for being a redhead. Someone's gotta do it!

Frankykeno- Jo you are an inspiration to me. Your intelligent responses and level-headed answers to people are great to see on this site. I always love reading your posts and will always continue to look forward to reading them.


Adam - You are what I strive to achieve in customer service, I only hope to be able to someday to follow in those footsteps.

Everyone - I love the participation of everyone on this site, I can't wait till the family medical issues are over so I can get back to spending more time on this site. Just remember what made this site what it is, the willingness to welcome everyone with open arms.

:rockon:

I would like to give my thanks to Robin and Jo, back in the repticzone days when I didn't know all the ins and outs they helped me with some great advice and guidance. They also suggested I come over here, which is now the place I spend most of my free time.

I've learned a ton of information from all the people on this site and want to thank everyone for that priviledge.

Evan- For being a great breeder and providing me with Lustro

Jamie- For keeping it real no matter how heated the discussion

Mendel- Always love his interesting articles ( Where does he find this stuff )

Bp.net- There are too many people here I respect to name them all, thanks for letting me be a part of this great place.

I can't really pick specific people but I would like to thank all the level headed people on this site. I haven't been on here long enough to know what it was like before but there always seems to be some kind of argument somewhere. I don't see the need and personally it makes this seem less like a community. So to all those who manage to keep their cool and to those who answered my pointless noob questions, THANK YOU!! :rockon:
