Lift Somebody UP Today!

Hmm. I think Connie (littleindiangirl) is absolutely inspirational. She has always been the kindest person to me in this community and we always seem to have the same opinions! Which, IMO are good ones. She has also done a great deal to go out of her way to help me personally, which I deeply appreciate.

I also wanted to give signs of respect to Wes (wilomn) and Patrick (Patrick Long). Though many people probably have their problems with Wes, and he doesn't always have a good thing to say, he really isn't afraid to say it anyways. Pat as well will speak his mind even if everyone may not agree with it, and that to me, shows a very key aspect to a person. And, they're words are often simple, sweet, and damn to the point. They both are extremely helpful and experianced men who really do know what they are talking about, and sometimes, thats exactly what we need.

I think some of Wes and Pats posts are some of the funniest things ever, they can really make me laugh. I really enjoy Wes' posts.

Thanks Chris!

Anywho, I'd have to say Heather has helped me out the most. She's always dealing with my stupid questions. She's the one who helped me get started.

So Thanks Heather, I know you are going to read this, I mean I am typing this at Your house getting ready to ask you more stupid questions!

LOL, Connie we're going to have to start calling you the re-animator, bringing dead threads back to life. It's a good idea though to see a thread like this back up again.

First I'd like to say thank you to all the BP.net staff and moderators for their even handed and even tempered approach to keeping everything sailing along smoothly, I swear that many of you must have tongues that look like hamburger the way you must have to bite down on em before responding to some threads.

I'd also like to thank Adam Wysocki and Tim Bailey for their vast knowledge and expertise. Anytime I feel that I already know it all, I just have to read a few of their posts to find out that there are still many things yet to learn.

I'd like to thank Heather - LadyOhh for her enthusiasm and spunk (yes I said spunk!!!!) She's such an upbeat person that just reading her thoughts and ideas charges me up and makes me feel better about myself and my hobby, even if things aren't going quite the way I'd like them to.

And next to last but certainly not least, I'd like to thank wilomn... It took me quite a long time to actually 'get' Wes, and I wasn't always sure I wanted to. But these days its a rare day when he doesn't bring a smile to my face.

I'd like to end by thanking every single person who makes up this village we know as ball-pythons.net. From the crotchety old goats to the fresh young newbies and every herper in between. Every single person adds their own flavor to this hodge podge of hobbyists, professional breeders and general reptile enthusiasts. It's a savory blend that only seems to get better with age.

LOL @ Spunk... She is pretty Spunky. haha

I'm glad this thread has resurfaced. Great idea in 2007 a still a great idea in 2009.

I'd like to think the BP-net community as a whole. Very seldom do you find a community of enthusiasts who are really interested in helping others, even when the same questions are asked over and over.

The mods are great, including Nate, keeping us all on track and a family friendly place to share. While I don't post every day, I read many posts every day and learn from what I read.

Keep this great community going guys . . . it is unique and very helpful!

in light of today,being our 1st clutch of out second breeding season i would like to thank Alice Cobb of florida reptile room,i met her at a show in october of 07 with my then girlfriend,and brother,and she spent HOURS with us showing us different morphs,and when i came back the 2nd day to buy my 2nd ball python,i searched her out,and since then,we have bought numerous animals from her,and look forward to buying more,not only did she give me the idea to breed,but even gave me the nudges i needed when i needed them to relise it was a viable thing to do,without alice's support and pushing,and her animals,reptile fryndz wouldnt be in our 2nd season right now

and at tthe last show i sen her at,she graciously allowed a friend of mine to hold her amazing display snakes for pictures,and alice,that young lady STILL talks about that all the time

Michelle C, for giving me advice for the little garter snake that half killed himself in my yard. And for telling me that my Blue Beauty is in fact beautiful and for the advice given for her care and handling.

I thought that kindness was really nice. I like the people who reach out to the unknowns and the novices. Thanks Mchelle!

Kara, who ends up being awash in calls and admiration-- she takes the time to be there for me and for my sixteen year old son. He can be ... well, sixteen. And she is respectful and teaches and takes time and I think that is GREAT.

She doesn't make me feel unimportant or like I am wasting ehr time. And she let me have some of her mice and rats-- very nice ones. And chats with me about horses and dogs and other important things. I'm not saying this well! But Kara, thanks!

Blu Mongoose, for always liking my pictures!!! That's really nice!
