I post a lot about issues and dilemmas and such with my family and local friends. It's just not that way here. I just want you guys to know that a lot of you mean more to me than the people I grew up with (so-called friends) and most of my family.

Recently, a friend here sent me something I really wanted because it represented being here and what you all mean to me. I was just off work when it was time to get into the group purchase so I passed on the offer.

Anyway, here they are. I'm not going to mention who gave it (not sure of the etiquette) but I appreciate it.



Much obliged and not just because I got a gift but that you showed me that I matter to someone.

That is outstanding!

We do have some great members.

Mark, I always enjoy your posts. Of course you matter here!

Thanks. Maybe you could have a word with my family. Nah, I have a couple of words for them.

The challenge coins came on a day I was feeling down about things. Perfect timing!

Good post OP. Love those.

Nice! Good folk here for sure.

And yeah, I'm pretty sure you're the reason I make damn sure McDonald's gives me the proper amount of BBQ Sauce when I order nuggets. If I let them slide I think, "What would Mark say?"

Nice, Kudo's to the member who sent them.

Your challenges are the same ones that almost every member here deals with Mark. So you are not alone in that.

Congrats those are really nice. And mostly because it reminds you of the SF and the outstanding membership you belong to.

You have a lot of friends here.

You do plenty here, don't feel that you don't or don't matter. Many people get knowledge or enjoyment from your posts.

You're the reason I'm here
That's right folks, it's all Mark's fault

HAHAH!!! The Bird brothers are more brothers to me than my natural born brothers. That's not even anything to feel bad about either.

I have considered you a friend since we met on the forum years ago and little Mark was a toddler.

Yeah, that boy just went and grew right up. He's working full time and making lots of loot.

This is the BEST forum, a community of a lot of really descent folks. The first place I go for news is Drudge, then here for further enlightenment.

Mark123, best to you and yours

We certainly do have a great community here. Proven, time and again!

Like the pallet loads of "care packages" sent to a Special Forces team while they were in afcrapistan. And even some packages to that same team while they are in Somalia.

Their commo is limited so they cannot say much, but they do appreciate all the support and prayers.

This has to be the premier community on the whole internet.

Thanks to Para and the mods.
