I love Budgie's enthusiasm and encouragement.

I DO have fun with his games, almost every single one that I play here at

I played here as a Guest for several years... then decided I wanted to have more than 15 games on my active gamesheet any one time! Now, years later, even sixty is insufficient! I became a Gold Level member just last month, and it's people like Budgie who have indirectly led to my burgeoning game-playing here.

Budgie's efforts bring fun to my day, and help me make connections with wonderful people in far-off (and even very nearby) places on the globe! But then, I think he (and many others) must know that.

I told him this would become a testimonial... and I'm proud to say these things.

aloha,

We do what we can.

People like yourself work quietly (sometimes behind the scenes, sometimes not) and, only if someone begins to pay attention, does that person(s) realize how much has been contributed to others' lives. Thank you. I say these things, when the thoughts arise for me; in my daily life I am nigh constantly amazed how often people aren't paying attention.

So, I observe. And in that observing, I realize, and I do what I can.

I only wish I could make these same changes and observations with people very close to me in my family and my work, and not only those like yourself, in my extended family and multiple circles of friends and acquaintances.

Much Love

Life for my wife and i over these past few months have been terrible, so hard to describe how bad, My wifes mother had been poorly and was rushed into hospital which seemed to happen a lot, but this time it was worse, her heart wasnt strong enough to keep lungs going, What was hard was the fact Dr,s found a large tumour in my wifes stomach and we wanted so much to cancle my wifes operation because mother was poorly, but after advice from Dr's it was decided to have my wifes tumour removed, it was while my wife was in theatre that mother passed away, so very hard to deal with and accept, then my wife was told the the tumour was cancer, what made things worse the results of my wife tumour were sent everywhere to decide exactly what it was, It turned out that its was very rare, but we tried to carry on best we could, but always in the background was this word Cancer it was only last week after the slides being sent everywhere that Dr finely had to results back, that we were called back to the Hospital, with the Good News that it wasnt cancer, and told we can now get on with our lives,My wife is finding it so hard to accept that she no longer has cancer, and keeps saying,,has our luck changed, who knows, only time will tell, its not been easy for either of us, hard for me to put my heart into the games here at Gold Token, and hard for my wife having lost mother and to deal with her large opp, all we can do now is try move on, All my wife says is, Least i not be bald at Christmas
