The last thread was getting a bit long, so I've started Part III.

AussiET has informed me that he wishes to pass the GoldStar to Cruiser, so I've made the change. Congratulations, Cruiser!

Hi everyone,

That was really cool week never had it and never had I read and felt appreciated like that on-line. I recommend it to all the new members, it’s really cool. Thanks map-reference.

I’ll take advantage of this post, don’t think I’ll ever get the chance to do this and won’t gain anything from brown nosing in here but I’m addicted with BoT

Thanks to all the people behind BoT who makes this whole thing going like the admins and the moderators. Reverend Chaos and his weekly updates and SilverSurfer with his cosmic board to fix things around. Thanks entity buddy for making me feel at home before...and especially THoTH and his special lady Angel (she’s his backup) to making this place in the web world

You don’t know me and we never post to acknowledge each other but I feel compelled to thank all regular posters for making me read with a smile, laugh at myself, wisdom and sort of understand more of the esoteric education from unselfish personal experience and knowledge (saves me dollar’s value in buying) but mainly letting me glimpse into your selves (read another person’s point of view) and appreciate the a sharing community, even if its virtual.

I was either tempted to hand it to individuals whom I thanked within the post but most of them deservedly had it already – but that made easier narrowed choice to two, so the star is not really hanging on my head too long. I’m particularly torn not to have chosen this someone who more than deserved it than I did but he has more chance by probability of inevitably getting it sooner, really sorry.

But I hand this over with such great honour and affection to Cruiser for being so pro-active in BoT, well being she promotes, true to her cause and being nice and sweet to everyone, though occasionally I stir her up.

May you cruise along with the golden star watching over your pretty head. Godspeed...

................................................................................ Have a Star studded week ...sweet cruising... CRUISER

Hey, Wow! I just logged on and noticed a star spinning over my head.

Thank You Aussie! I really can't top all that you have just said, very poignantly put I must say. You are most kind, and well versed I might add. You seem to know a lot about so many different subjects, can hardly keep up. Very interesting and I'm sure many appreciate your addition to the threads here at BoT!
(ok, how many secretly want to see a pic of Aussie?)

Not one for competitions so I (embarrassingly and humbly) say Thanks again, and don't hesitate to share your thoughts w/me via pm as to who you had in mind to share the star. I'm more than happy to share!

I was looking for support when I landed here at BoT.......... the only other people that seemed to take me seriously was Steven Greer's secretary. I wasn't interested in climbing any mountains to call to our alien neighbors (I'd had the shock of a life-time already) and that was enough. So a big Thanks to Bot friends, weather you believe someone elses words or not. It sure helped to take a load off of my mind.

I'll enjoy the star, and in the meantime..... say thanks for my 'visitor' for playing a big part in landing me here.

cruiser

Thank you Newbs!

Was thinking, in all fairness... don't think I have a recent pic that even I want to share so I have no business putting that pressure on aussie. My apologies if I have.

Don't we always try to picture the person on the other side of an avatar?

Thank you, Silver!

Ps.... aussie, I'm pretty sure ReverandChaos is a gal.... someone please correct me if I'm wrong. She was a big help to me when the server problems were taking place.

cruiser

Cruiser..you thoroughly deserve this most Prestigious Award..like the star..your honesty and enthusiasm shine through....

Excellent choice Aussie...

........................................ “...Your welcome...” visitor up the star - your guiding star

You more than gave yourself the merit, base on well wishers, they appreciate you. Be well and take pleasure in simple friendships, that’s why you’re our star

Naughty cruiser and Newbs, I’ve done my fair share of pics (I modelled for a few years ago) but I feel anonymity is more intriguing

Cheers...for a fair sweet maiden

Woo-hoo!!! YAY, Cruiser!!
Great chioce ET

"I'll enjoy the star, and in the meantime..... say thanks for my 'visitor' for playing a big part in landing me here.", well I want to thank him too as he has been a catalyst for wonderous things in your life, and brought a friend to us!!

I like that. See signature below) Find something positive out of your experience. You've done well here at BoT. Obviously many members, including myself , enjoy your contributions to the forum so I conclude you've put smiles on countless others we may never know. Like most who have been attracted to the site, you have a diverse range of interest & knowledge in many fields. You bring closer together the proof that it is the cream of the crop, I know about self praise but I'm saying it anyway , who are the main contributors to this magnificent site. Along with knowledge & wisdom, you bring heartfelt gratitude to the gift we have all received in being brought together in this way. So, thank you cruiser.

Oh, & aussieET, wise choice on your behalf. Right on.

AussiET, Juno, Trent,

You guys are too kind! I'm glad I found my way to BoT too. Everyone is a friend at BoT..... and I'm always learning something new.

Aussie wants to keep the anonymity, very well....... and intriguing. Can sure tell you are beautiful on the inside, model or not. Thank 'you' for being so kind.

Juno, I thought of you when sojourner posted the new findings from Space news..... and how x-ray played a part in it all. Pretty awesome, eh?

Trent, your sincerity shines through........ another sweet person I'm happy to bump into here at BoT. You do so much and deserve that pretty star a'spinning....Thanks buddy!

cruiser

Congrats, cruiser! Well done!

Thanks neb, you're very kind. btw, I love your slug! Had lots of them in my garden in Cali. Beautiful. Missing my calla lilies. Now, scoot on over to the Flower power thread and share some of your beautiful photography, if you will. I can't wait to see what everyone's been growing.

cruiser

Good choice AussiET..........
Congrats Cruiser, Glad your here.

thanks Map-Ref.

Means a lot coming from you too!

I see it is time for me to bestow the star upon someone else at this time. While I'm the type of person that would love to give a twinkling star to spin above everyones head.... I can only choose one. After much back and forth as to who is next (and don't be dismayed folks.... it will land at each noggin soon enough is my hope as everyone here brings something thought provoking to share)....... I have decided it will go to the person that proved the most selflessness, and impressed me the most this past week or so. He showed all of us what's important here at BoT....and that's having a place where all can come to share. Considering the topics, the general communities are not yet ready to acknowledge.

This weeks coveted gold star award goes to ThoTh! And I'm not choosing him for any brownie points either. After all, he did say my encounter description sounded like a cliche! lol I can't help that..... for it is what it is. Somebody put that on my headstone. (Dad was famous for always making a remark and saying, put that on my headstone)

ThoTh, I was very proud of the way you handled the big 'discussion' this week........ and the fact that you proved to everyone what's most important when it comes to getting the message out. We face an undaunting challenge as human beings......and this BoT refuge has meant the moon to me, so thank you! I hope others will join BoT and share their message, encounter, experiences, questions, hopes, fears, etc.

AussiET, thank you so very much for choosing lil' ol' me! If I've made a friend in Austrailia (down under) that's all the more icing on the cake. You're pretty terrific, not to mention talented. Your artwork is most excellent and I recognize you for all the hard work and time you've put into it. I see a successful future in all that you choose to do.

So I hand the title back across the pond to ThoTh, the bossman! You certainly deserve it!


cruiser

Congrats, Boss! Well done!
