The "MERCI" day

Post by Kwai chang caine »

Hello at all :D

In FRANCE sunday 11 january, and perhaps elsewhere in other country, it's "La journée du MERCI" (The thanks day)

https://www.francetelevisions.fr/et-vous/merci

When i have learning that, i say to me : "To whom could I say thank you from the bottom of my heart?" :?:
And instantly, i thinking to my forever idol, the one to whom I owe so much for is born, for having this wonderful idea, and above all, for never giving up on it, despite difficulties we can't even imagine. :|
The one I love so much, like a fan loves their idol, and without whom I wouldn't have had the same will to live, during through some of the times I've been through, as perhaps you yourself live too.
So I know I've already done this hundreds of times, but it seemed obvious to do it again today for this day.

======= My emperor and powerfull ultimate great master FRED ========

Image

and obviously his amazing baby, that i love so much, without forgotten obviously his amazing team

Image

But who would i be ? if I forgot all those, who are part of my virtual family, those whom are the MASTERS of “KCC”


Image

in the digital realm and who accompany me every day with a generosity, a patience and kindness that I have rarely encountered in real life? :shock:

Then with my friends the GIF, i want to write to you all, this some littles, but honest words :

Imagehanks a lot, for all your kinds helps, and unfortunaltely for you the next :oops: ,during all tImageis more of twenty yeImagers where i have breaking your
Imageuts with my stupids questions and ideas.

My only regret ??? not having met you all (i know... it's surely not your case :mrgreen:) for share, even for just a moment, this passion that we have in common since so many years, and can give to you the friendly
Imageiss, Image
Meeting these programming MASTERS that I admire
Imageo much, in all this so beautifull and sadely far country and whom always know everything (Exactly my opposite :oops: )

How many thousands of hours I must have spent, on that yellow editor over the past two decades, and how many times you must have been there, to get me out of a situation I should never have gotten myself, into due to my lack of knowledge.
And all this without complaining, with patience and generosity, symbolizing what the real GEEK family is all about.

I can never thank you enough for tolerating me, as I am a little bit shaken, I must admit, and even for accepting and welcoming like some of you into your family of brains, as if I had one of my own.While I was barely able to sweep your numerical courtyard

I've always been proud to be around you. When I was learning VB6, I never would have believed that people as knowledgeable in programming, and even in other subjects.Sometimes I don't even understand the title of your topics

When you're so small, it's a real honor to rub shoulders with people who know so much. It forces you to look up... and therefore to hold your head up a little higher.
For my part, all I can offer in return for all your intentions is my admiration and my love. 8) and perhaps a little bit of french humor :mrgreen:

A big thank you also and a great thought, to all the great masters of the family, gone or who no longer come to see us or so rarely, who amazed me like a child, every day with their wonderful codes and knowledge, and whom I miss so much. (Sparkie, Srod, Netmaestro, Danilo, TsSoft, Flype, Gnozal, Le Soldat Inconnu, Droopy, DJES, etc ...) :|

So if you too, have the desire to thanks someone in the world or around you...don't hesitate...monday can be perhaps too late :|
It's so wonderful to be able to talk to people from all over the world, and it hardly amazes nearly anyone anymore. :shock:
It is better to thank the few people who help you without expecting anything in return, several times for nothing, than to regret never having done so. :cry:

Sunday,.... it's the "JOUR J" (D-Day) OF

I love you all, long life to Pure Basic and all his familly

I join the group of grateful users. THANKS FRED, PB TEAM AND FORUM MEMBERS!
Without a doubt the best language with the best forum.

I don't have a food sacrifice but I have burned a pendrive and a CD with visual basic, along with a photo of Bill Gates, as an offering. :lol:
