Bejeeber Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Each medal of honor awarded is known as a "bonker", for reasons soon to unfold: These are reserved for just 2 categories of folk who exemplify altruism and/or bravery: . Quote
CHfather Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Well, I now believe that at least some Oscar recipients might be sincere when they say "I'm honored, but I don't deserve this." Among other things, I wouldn't be here at all -- and my daughter probably wouldn't be doing better -- if I hadn't received so much help and support when I first arrived. I still remember the screen names of a lot of the folks who quickly appeared to help us: you (Bejeeber); Jsmacks; TakinitEZ; kaboom; the bb; alleyoop; agent orange; Becky v; clustermom13; tingeling, Hipshot; Bonkers; Psiloscribe; FunGuy; 1961mom; ThatHurts; Napa1026; raquelinkansas; shappyparasol; Dallas Denny . . . and then so many more whose presence made it even more worthwhile to stick around: Pixie-elf; DereksGirl; Keith; les genser . . . and even those who have come and left but still left an impression: Jilly from Philly; met la; Frustrated123; John . . . and let's not forget TommyD for his great, helpful files . . . and then all the more recent arrivals (and returnees) who are adding new energy and ideas that keep the place worth returning to . . . The red light has been flashing for quite a while now, so I'll just end the way so many of those recipients do: it's my daughter's courage and grace that inspires me on a day-to-day basis, and what I encounter here is a reflection of that.

alleyoop Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 it's my daughter's courage and grace that inspires me on a day-to-day basis, and what I encounter here is a reflection of that. What a really cool thing to say! Quote
Mwib87 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Real heroes on this list! You have all inspired, comforted and strengthened me in different ways! The hope and relief spread through this forum is so deeply moving and has impacted my life in ways i had never thought possible! I salute you all! Quote
Pixie-elf Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Real heroes on this list! You have all inspired, comforted and strengthened me in different ways! The hope and relief spread through this forum is so deeply moving and has impacted my life in ways i had never thought possible! I salute you all! I agree! Great list Jeebs! :3 Everyone on it is awesome. <3 Mystina Quote
Bonkers Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Someone not on your list, someone as deserving as any, who devotes so much time skillfully helping others learn to help themselves, is you Mr. Bejeeber. A few other glaring omissions to your list are my brother from another mother, Dallas Denny, Alleyoop and Agentorange. Thanks, Jeebs, for all you do. Ron Quote
Bejeeber Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks Ron! I shan't be including myself on the list until I meet the stringent criteria though - otherwise everyone would receive a bonker, and then how special would a bonker be??!! Consider your suggested inclusion of the notorious gang of 3 a dun deal though. Maybe the rank and file soldiers such as myself can be peresented with a purple heart (or droopy eye?) award. And a reminder to all regarding bonker nominations: These are reserved for just 2 categories of folk who exemplify altruism and/or bravery: Quote
Lee_Ann Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 This is just too cute. Congratulations to all the recipients of the highly prestigious "Bonker" awards. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Quote
kaboom Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Love it! Are you presenting these at the conference, Jeebs?  Quote
Bejeeber Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 Well Kaboom, if anyone hands out any bonker awards at a conference, I think we should clearly rule this option out for the manner of presentation - even if some would find it could bring a temporary, welcome distraction from a CH attack: Quote
dereksgirl Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 wow. This brings tears to my eyes. CHFather, as always, says it best... without this board, where would we all be? the caring love and advise that is shared here is invaluable! I am honored to be a part of it. DG Quote
Gump Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Bejeeber, where might I find a link to the Nat Geo Documentary? Thank You Gump Quote
Bonkers Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Pretty sure it's still being worked on. The camera crew left Hipshot's house after filming there only recently. Maybe we'll see it sometime this Fall. Quote
Guest Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 here was the first one done, with chuck, dan is awaiting his premier as we all are its part 2, there are 4 parts AO Quote
clustermom13 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 CHmom Am I remembering this forum name right?? Went beyond doing whatever it took to find relief for her son - and it worked. So I disappear for a while and look what I miss! I am honored to be recognized among such wonderful selfless people. I am a much richer person for having "met" everyone here. May we all continue to fight and win! Quote
Bejeeber Posted July 11, 2011 Author Posted July 11, 2011 Hurray for the return of Clustermom13! Your Bonkerhood (kinda like a knighthood) is now officially bestowed. Quote
clustermom13 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Hurray for the return of Clustermom13! You are too kind! (But it is nice to be missed ) Quote
Oscar Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I agree with bejeeber, it's just great there are such great people here on the board. Thank you very much for all your time to this board, it's highly appreciated !! Therefore: Regards, Oscar Quote
Bejeeber Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 Nobody can claim you're not qualified to hand out one of those! ;D Quote
Bejeeber Posted December 13, 2011 Author Posted December 13, 2011 where might I find a link to the Nat Geo Documentary? It will air for the first time on January 15th, 2012 at eight o'clock. Here's the preview: http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/national-geographic-channel/shows/drugs-inc/ngc-mushroom-medicine.html Quote
Hipshot Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Hey jeebs. Thanks for adding Lee Ann. A very nice compliment indeed Quote
MoxieGirl Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 What a great idea, and well deserved to everyone mentioned. And thanks for the links to the Nat Geo doc. Quote
