lanikai Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The amount of support ,.. prayers and concern I have recieved over the last 2 months has been overwhelming.. this Community has overwhelmed me with support and kindness.. !!! During my stay at the Hospital.. Kruz ~ Ubiquitous ~ and Two Tone's .. calls had been a lifeline .. to the craziness that was going on around me..(I would not relinquish my phone.. even in ICU) I got a PM from Omni that there was a parcel waithing for me at my mail service.. I hadn't been there since I got out of the hospital.. So when I opened the box... I was literally at a lost for words when I opened the envelope.. There are no words to describe my feelings toward all your kindness.. or I could go on all day long on about how RWG is more of a second home and the bonds made here although thousands of miles away cannot be traded for anything .. But then, most of you know what I talk of.. So I'll just end here with a BIG Mahalo Plenty Admin Team, and kupuna Omni for taking the time to arrange it all !!.. and to each and every one of you that make this community what it is....DA BESTEST!! Aloha .. and Malama Pono All !! R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 That is awesome...and the second best recipient of it around...after that guy in Ice-land after all, but he probably has 10 of the known 8 copies. Truly an awesome gesture, and well deserving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 certainly isn't a more deserving guy to receive such a kind gift. i was hoping you might have sprung for a certain black lung (please pardon the rhyming) to take some photos with that fancy new book of yours, but just saw nanuq's thread that it ended up outside of RWG's hands glad to see you're on the mend lani deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve52 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Ditto deltatahoe! I haven't been a member for long, but it didn't take me long at all to recognize lani for a key member and reach out to him with many Noob questions. What a guy! Always willing to help not only members, but also the community in total. Very befitting for him to receive a recognition of the person he is! Thanks lani, and welcome back to your second home!

Nanuq Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 All right!! I'm glad you got it, big guy. Now let's see a picture of your TG-Pro on its own page, in all its orange glory! PS: we had a bit of a poetry/limerick competition going on to figure what to write in the card. In the end Omni said it best. You do NOT want to see some of the entries!

P4GTR Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 So basically Nanuq found out Lanikai had the sniffles, and rationalized it being ok to snag Dirk Pitts coffee table book? And to think Dirk came to Nanuq for wisdom on icebergs, and raising heavy objects only to have a prized posession lifted from sight. Seriously, I don't know if any of you are Clive Cussler fans. The thought of Doxa and literature together made me think of this. An awesome gift I'm truly excited to see bequeathed upon a most awesome guy.

redwatch Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 An incredibly nice gesture folks! Kudos to you all! Enjoy it Lani and we all look forward to seeing more and more of your posts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive, Ms. Understood aka "the wretched fluffer", viagra, and that book, were the only things left that kept Dirk young! Throw in a tug from said infamous mistress and perhaps you just gave Lani the fountain of youth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Well deserved Big Guy - wish we could have delivered it in person Now we expect you to give Nanuq some competition on the Doxa knowledge front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 thank ytou again for the kindness !! Well needless to say I know who was behind the selection of the book.. the pics of all the Dox'a has me salivating And YES !! I am a HUGE Clive Cussler and Dirk Pitt fan... I've read every one of his adventures.. one of my 2 fav authors. Someday.. a black lung if it's meant to be.. or one of those rare silver dials jobs..

trailboss Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Lani: you are worth every cent bruda! I am glad the Team here know how much you add to this place. I got a heads up on your situtation at it's worst and was kept informd. You were in my (and the whole admin team at 1.1) thoughts every hour of every day mate. So glad to see you made it thru a situtation that was the demise of many a lessor man. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
