For Gekkosan!

Muchísimas gracias, Lazarus. Esto significa un montón para mi. Gracias de verdad. - Gekkosan, Aug 16, 2011

Answer 1

Oh, guao....

Estoy muy, muy conmovido, y me siento muy agradecido, con esta muestra de cariño, con los lindos mensajes, y con las fantásticas imágenes.

Para mi significa muchísimo también que este hilo lo haya abierto el siempre muy apreciado y respetado Lazarus, gran Maestro de este foro. Muchas gracias de verdad.

Quiero que sepan todos que el estar alejado del Foro no ha sido nada fácil para mi. Me encanta venir y meter las narices y alborotar el avispero... pero por otra parte, la verdad es que también ha sido muy beneficioso para mi dedicar el tiempo a otras cosas que en este momento tienen prioridad para mi.

Yo le estaba dedicando entre dos y tres horas al día a SD, y eso me estaba impidiendo enfocarme en tareas de trabajo y familia que en este momento requieren de toda mi atención.

Quiero que sepan que ha valido la pena, y que como resultado he logrado muchos avances en proyectos importantes para mi. Pero igual siempre estoy pendiente, y siempre los quiero y los extraño mucho. Por suerte nunca falta alguien que me alerta cuando algo importante está pasando, y además de vez en cuando me doy una vuelta por aquí, y dejo algún que otro comentario.

Voy a tener que seguir así por un tiempo - tal vez varios meses - aunque trataré de dejar comentarios siempre que pueda. Mas quiero que sepan que siempre los tengo presentes a todos, y que agradezco profundamente que me recuerden y tengan palabras cariñosas para mi.

Gracias a todos y todas,

Gekkosan

Oh, wow...

I am very, very touched indeed, and I feel deeply grateful with this display of love, with the beautiful messages, and the fantastic images.

It also means a great deal for me that this thread was opened by the always deeply appreciated and highly respected Lazarus, grand Master and Teacher of this Forum. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I want all to know that staying away from the Forum has not been at all easy for me. I love to come here and poke around and generally rock the boat... but on the other hand, the truth is that is has also been highly beneficial for me to be able to dedicate my time to other things that at the moment have a high priority for me.

I had been dedicating between two and three hours a day to SD, and that was preventing me from focusing on work and family tasks that at the moment require my full attention.

I want you to know that it has been worth it, and that as a result I have achieved a lot of progress in projects that are very important for me. But all the same I always keep an eye on the Forum, and I always love and miss you lot. Thankfully there's always someone kind enough to alert me when something important is happening here, and I also come around every now and then, and leave a few comments here and there.

I will have to continue this way for some time linger - maybe several months - although I will try to leave a few comments whenever I am able. However I want you to know that I always keep you in mind, and that I am deeply thankful that you remember me, and have such loving words for me.

Thank you all,

Gekkosan

Answer 4

Gekkosan? hmmm the name rings a bell ..... :(

Enough of the brumation already - don't you know that staying away too long can do strange things to a lizard!

hey Hanna, long time no see! Hope you're doing well :) - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 15, 2011

Mhmm. I am doing well, just busy busyy... actually, I was named "Busy Lizzy" when I was little, I am not surprised. My mum said: "Elizabeth always says she's busy, how about we name her Busy Lizzy?" Lol. - Destroyed99, Aug 15, 2011

Dunno... this is a very strange place, also. But you, Toakase, you have no excuse. You are from New Zealand. You know very well where geckos live and are to be found. - Gekkosan, Aug 16, 2011

Answer 5

That's one overworked Gekko!

Glad to hear that you have been able to catch up on your work, amigo. While both your wit and wisdom are sorely missed around the forum, I can certainly sympathize with your need and desire to devote more time to family and to projects at home. Hope everything goes well for you master Gekko and hope to see you around soon!

Thank you Izanoni. Mercifully I use a computer at work, so the actual amount of papers laying around me is considerably smaller. :-) - Gekkosan, Aug 16, 2011

Answer 6

Hi Gekko! I miss you, but I'm glad when you drop in now and then. I know you aren't running away. Hope to see you a little more often when you are ready. Have a nice rest!

Thank you Sanlee - Gekkosan, Aug 16, 2011

Answer 8

A darker side to the dear little fellow , more power to his arm !

[1]:

We do enjoy a pint of good amber or pale ale every now and then. I won't insult you by saying it's a Foster's. I wouldn't mind a nice Hop Thief's though. - Gekkosan, Aug 16, 2011

Answer 9

As the first person to really help me on this site (now approaching a year ago), as a source of endless witty commentary, and as a "native Spanish speaker" who writes better English than I ever will, I miss having this site graced with your presence.

What we need is this:

Maybe a flower will work:
