I wanted to do this for a long time, and finally (thanks to Joe and maddog107) it´s here!
Andy, this is your own thread, treasure it, write it all over, make it home, or sanctuary, or whatever you want
I think that you trully deserve it - you´re always here, always listening, and always answering as well. You take care, and are interested in so many things - and what I value the most is your objective and calm approach to any overemotional issues ![]()
So, here is the financial and intellectual guru, welcome
"Perhaps the art of life is the art of avoiding excessive risk.....he is the best pilot who steers clear of the rocks and shoals..."

Love them

Congrats! ![]()

Jolly good, I have been waiting for a BZ occasion to crack open another bottle...


Pour me the spirit, B! ![]()
WOW!
Gratz Cult Icon!
It's well deserved! ![]()
:dance:

Well deserved, congrats ![]()

I would like to congratulate everyone else
. LOL, j/k, that's just an inside joke referrence to the fact that you used to only come to my thread to talk to everyone else
but once I started reading your posts, you started growing on me. Its ironic that I randomly see pics that I wonder if you'd like, but have nowhere to post them. I guess this thread can be a place
.

~I'm super glad. Will this thread strengthen the activity in the members forums or will it serve to dilute what currently exists? I hope for the former, but time will secure a verdict.
I leave this to the market... In any event, this thread bears my SN and will be a place to engage or challenge (!) me. Or it could just be a forum for whatever topic is currently afloat. Whatever happens: I don't mind. Baring the highly irregular, of course ![]()
BZ, has been my favorite forum in all of the internet, and now the only forum that I am committed to posting in and regularly visiting. There is simply no other topic of discussion that relaxes more than the material and people here: It's an island paradise that's disconnected from the struggles outside. I can't be the only regular who feels the same way. I've had overwhelmingly good experiences with this site and I believe that I will continue to do so. And I hope that other members feel the same way.
Thanks, Dear Universe, for BZ!
------------------------------
In order of appearance (so there will be more appearances...and more tributes from me, I hope), I'd like to thank:
Jennka: Thirdly, for navigating and negotiating with the Bureaucracy :-) First and second, for being a genuine friend these past two years and having many enthusiastic, in-depth and high quality conversations with me. Also, for being one of the fulcrums of which members forums rotates on and..... spreading infectious, truly infectious
..... genuine love and effort in the form of ideas.
You have not heard me say this in two years, but I once said that you were a woman with quality of person far above the norm; and this belief of mine has only strengthened with the passage of time. You raise the morale of whatever thread you appear in, and make it more colorful.
Thank you for everything, Jennka.
Wjin: Thanks for practicing your photoshop skills by making the forum and myself some of the best avatars and signatures in human history!
Donbot: Thanks for being a reliable contributor to the members forums, and always up for conversation & always interesting. For leveraging, to the benefit of others, your skill as a graphic designer. And for introducing us to your taste as an artist, and your varied interests.
Ketchup: Thanks for being the most humble, well-behaved 16-year old in Internet history, and being wise & articulate beyond your years.
Michael: Thanks for sharing your deep knowledge of film and music. It's a world that I am only faintly accustomed to.
Baron: Thanks for being my male buddy on this forum, and being one of the important/top BZ posters in World History. And producing lots and lots of entertaining conversations! Thanks for displaying a combination of emotional intelligence, wit, culture, and a command of the English language that's well in the top one percentile of the english-speaking world. Anybody could learn a great deal from you.
You are as much as a BZ fulchrum as Jennka is, and I salute you!
Ophelia: Thanks for adding character to the members forums, helping me many times, and introducing me to many new models & redheads!
Layla: Thanks for writing about life in Poland and Warsaw, and being a sweetie that's adorable in a way that I can't put into words.
Joe: Thanks for being Admin that has imprinted a fun, positive, inviting, and kind character to these forums, and not marching with a self-righteous sabre and vindictive attitude.
And stomaching the fact that I do pop in to scroll through your members thread at times, but am hampered from contributing due to my total lack of pop-culture knowledge vs. the near-encyclopedic knowledge of your own..... ![]()

Can it be...Andi...thread?
I must say this has been a long time coming. I'm ecstatic to see that our own personal BZ think-tank finally has his own thread!
You've been nothing but a valued member and an insightful contributor. Plus, how can I hate a guy who basically introduced me to Karlie Kloss :brows:
Glad to see you have a small little piece of real estate you can call your own. Now put down the welcome mat sir and enjoy the place


LOL
@ the encyclopedic part
and thanks for the nice words. Well, what you lack in pop culture, surely you make up in business and antiquity anyway
.

Whoa, thank you for those words Andy - I was almost blushing! Now I don´t know what to say. So I´ll be back later, when I catch my breath and words ![]()
So in another attempt to sell the appeal of Aymeline, I bring you this: http://nyti.ms/Q1CEEN
How freaking adorable is that ![]()
You can also learn the pronunciation of her name in that ![]()

Comment of the day: Sanne Nijhof is a tremendous beauty. But her career hasn't taken off and she fell off the radar on BZ.............An entry in the Junkyard is imminent... ![]()
PS. I know that I'm backed up with responses at the moment. But a torrent is coming, I'm sure of it!


Congratulations for your place Cult,so happy to see it. ![]()

There are three movies that I want to watch but haven't gotten the chance:
1. The Motorcycle Diaries
2. The Master
3. Skyfall
