A Huge Thank YOU! on 09/29/2011 15:58:13 MDT Print View

I just received an email from Addie stating that someone just payed for a lifetime subscription for me today. I just wanted to reach out to whoever gifted BPL a lifetime subscription for me. The kindness and generosity is very welcome as my subscription expired and I had no money at the moment to renew. Whoever gifted this, I thank you for your act of generosity. I really appreciate the kindness and thoughtfulness. THANK YOU!
I will pay this kind act with a pay it forward of some type. So cool!

It's great to see that the PIF gods are smiling upon you, Ken. It's for good reason, as you have contributed quite a lot to BPL and the forums. But now you're stuck with us, for life. To whoever did this for you, good show!

So very awesome. Congratulations to the both of you!

The world needs a bit more of this, and a little less of 'business as usual.'

really though, it is not about me at all. But the person that gifted me the membership. How awesome is that!

I had a real sucky day at work today that I won't delve into other than I had to smile and eat humble pie. Those that know me, know that I have a difficult time being quiet and bitting my tongue. I did...though my day was off so to speak afterwards....I work in sales for those that do not know. When I saw the email on my phone I had a huge smile on my face and this totally made my day!!!!

Again thank you!

and thank you for the kind words guys!

There are indeed some seriously generous and selfless individuals here.

Now go catch up on missed articles Ken, there are some perks to the membership, despite what the naysayers claim.
