One of the hardest parts of having an achievement recognised on SD is how to thank
everyone , because we are all such good and valued friends here that there is always
a fear of offending someone , so I shall go against convention and leave you all out,
and offend everyone equally , but of course I cannot do that so forgive me if I only
mention a few.Firstly SonrisaDelSol this thread will forever be the benchmark by
which all future congratulatory threads should be done , you are a true legend ,
thanks. All the moderators who work tirelessly to keep this site going, each
and every member who does the corrections both for the Spanish learners and
for the English learners , some even do it for both, all of you are champions and
your blood is worth bottling, legends all. And the person who should be in the
legendary hall of fame , one with whom I have had a steamy relationship , there
have been a few fiery lovers tiffs , but always respect and great love , had it not
been for her talking me into continuing in the first few weeks after I joined then I
would not be here now .I realised right away that I was not equipped to operate the
intricacies of SD , I did not know how to post a question let alone a word of
Spanish , the Computer was a new tool for me , but I persevered , it took me
many months before I could post a photo ,thank you all who showed such patience
with this green old guy , and as for the translator" I never have managed to get the
handle on that' ! And that statement is now in the Guinness book of records.
So thank you for not giving up on me Heidi , you are welcome in my 1 bedroom shack any day . Thanks to all of you for showing me kindness, help and
encouragement and allowing me to believe in myself . These past two years have
been the happiest years of my life due to all the many friends that I have made
here , even though there have been in that time tragedies in my personal life
you all have helped me to rise above them . Please treasure what we have here
and keep trying to preserve its integrity and search for perfection . Lovingkindness to you all , and thank your mother for the Rabbits !
When we look way, waaaay down under ...
We discover an extraordinary poet who has entranced us
with his erudition; alluring and amiable; captivating and
cuddly; fetching and fascinating; enchanting and enduring;
and oh yes, so very much more words can never express ...
Ray, you're simply the best 
Felicidades, Ray. Most of these 100K are from those English idioms you post with lightning speed and for the Drop One/ Take One.... well known for being fast on the draw for those of us who cannot push the refresh button fast enough. And you kindly post comments on nearly everyone's posts. You add an element of fun to this site and treat all as dear friends.. or should I say 'mates'.
Dear, Ray, you are so positive and kind, joyful and wise!
