VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Deirdre · Posted: Thu Nov 26, 2009 8:21 am Post subject: Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Thank you all for your continued good nature, and generosity of spirit and wisdom.

I am thankful for electricity, clean water, a house that can withstand harsh New England Weather and has done so without flying apart for over 100 years.
I am thankful for coffee, the internet, WYSIWYG web design programs and thumb drives.
I am thankful for my cats, my drums, and my game systems.
I am thankful for having too many books to read, too much food, flowers in the spring and snow in the winter.

Thank you all for being part of my family.

Deirdre, et al
Besides my wife and family, being employed and living in America, I am most thankful for this web-family.
Without the presence of Deebs, the site and the host of talented and caring people here,
I would have abandoned my aspirations of a VO career quite a while back.
Thanks to all of you and yours and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
-roger

No one is more grateful than I for the nurturing and encouraging words found on these pages for the last four years. I wax eloquent about this in my BLOG today: 'THE GREATEST GRATEFULNESS'

This tribe makes all other communities pale in comparison.

I'm also thankful for Deebs and this site. I'm thankful for all of the encouragement and help I've received from friends here.

I'm most thankful for my daughter, her love and all that she has done for me especially over these last few years. She has helped me through every difficult step.

I am thankful that I do not need to venture out into the Black Friday mayhem and loose my sanity and sense of humanity in order to save a couple of bucks. Yuck.

Seriously- I am most thankful for my three wonderful, loving, artistic, intelligent, healthy children. Being their mom is the best part of my life and I often remember to tell them as much.....not only on holidays either.

I am grateful on an almost daily basis that I am able to make my living the way I do- in my house, not depending on any other person, or company for my financial security or livelihood- that in "these hard times" I am able to support my family, fix up my much neglected little house, and live life without financial worry (except for those weeks when the tide is out- you know what I mean...but it always does come back in. Thanks Bruce for the best single line to describe the life of a VO). Apologies to Banksey and Paddy, but i really love my job. Sarcastic

I am also insanely grateful for my VO-BB friends and family. What a blessing this little corner of the interweb is...I also know for a fact that my success is in large part due to the help, hints, support, critique, recommendations, production skills, knowledge sharing etc of you all.

I also know I would have lost my sanity about four years ago, if it had not been for my invitation to join this merry band of virtual amigos. Them of us who do this gig full time know, we're right ahead of cloistered nuns in the 'daily interaction with society' line. Without the friendships I have made through this board, you would have been reading about me in the papers for all the wrong reasons (before she snapped,she was such a nice lady). I have found my best friends on the planet through the vo-bb...really.

God bless our beloved Czarina and all she do to keep this happy tribe of voice talkers together...there is magic on and off this board. And... (beware- super corny sentimental gibberish ahead)....my world is a much better place because of our twisted family....so Happy Holidays...I am thankful for all y'alls. Sarcastic

I am thankful for this thread; it has me reflecting on the myriad bounties -- today and every day. It's a good habit.

Thankful, also, for rutabagas, my fave Turkey Day dish. And I'm thankful for my Marion Berry and my cell phone provider that I can read the board while traveling!

I am grateful for all of the gang on this lovely board, from whom I draw much encouragement and inspiration. I'm grateful for my hubby, my health, my life, my iPodtouch - that keeps me in contact with the gang, even when travelling, and all its applications that keep me in a positive uplifted spirit. I'm grateful for friends and the internet. I'm grateful for every VO opportunity and gig I get! yayyyyyy! I'm real grateful for that lovely mint coffee latte I had today. Yummm! Small pleasures of life! Laugh

I am thankful that the drunken moron who crashed into me on my way home from Thanksgiving dinner did not kill me or my dog.

Paddyo,

I'm glad you and your beautiful doggie are okay.
