What I need to add here and should have added on CC but shamefully didn't think of it at the time because our GURU is here LOL

Dear PokerGuru,
Without you we would be lost souls in the Poker World being eaten up by Poker wizzes. You have taught us to think! You have taught us how to play smart! You have given us love and encouragement. You have bolstered our self appreciation to play Poker.

Without you there would be no Poker Crush!

You give us joy. I could go on and on but know we do love you and appreciate you beyond measure.

We are the lucky (yes lucky) that we have you and Poker Crush in our lives.

Thank you! and.. Thank you for being you!!
And everything I wrote below at CC goes for PC too!

Love and hugs,

Valeria

I have been wanting to say this for a long time and I am finally getting around to it.

First off Geno

You have done a fantastic job over the years with CC & with PC! I personally think they are THE BEST two forums around in regarding to up to date information, FANTASTIC STAFF, absolutely one of the best member bases around.

Your coding pants are a sight to behold! You are hard at work constantly updating, changing and improving your forums. You keep it fresh, exciting, fun and with so much stuff to do, that it is hard to keep up if you miss a day or two!

THANK YOU as it is my home on the net!

NEXT

One of the best things you ever did was in hiring OrangeCrush! She is truley a fine lady! She is funny, smart, warm and caring with a heart of gold. She works very hard and is everywhere at once.
CC would definately not be the same without her! She gives CC the HEART. Even though we have never met I consider her a friend.

Any problem big or small she is there to answer, help and encourage. She is not afraid to admit to a mistake and can laugh about it. I truely adore her! Her humor and loving nature shine here at CC.

If you ever leave OC I will personally visit your house and kick your butt!! LOL CC would NOT be the same without you.

And Last but definately not least:

RoyalCrush. I feel you are a kindred spirit. You are warm and caring. There is much I want to say about you and really don't know where to start. There are so many things that make me feel we are connected somewhere somehow.

You have shown consideration to others with your warm and caring nature. You encourage and I have yet to see a negative remark about anything or anyone escape from your lips that wasn't needed or deserved.

You bring a uniqueness here that is all your own. You have shown you have a big loving heart and truely care about others.

CC is the way it is because our staff is the way they are. It would NOT be the same warm family feeling that it is without each one of you to keep it all together and just be yourselves.

I am happy and proud to say I am a Crusher and a Poker Crusher.
The first thing I do in the morning and the last thing at night before bed and many times during the day is come to Casino Crush and Poker Crush. It kills me if I have to miss a day here and there.

This place is my online family and always will be.

With love, kisses and the most respect for all of you, AND congratulations for a job very well done for making these the best two forums around,

Valeria

so well written, valerie, can't think of anything to say but "ditto"

Excellent post!!

Well done Valeria,

And Thank You.
As well as receiving, it is always an honour to see such open love, affection and appreciation for the things that people cherish, that are a big presence in their lives. I enjoyed reading this post a great deal.
I'd just like to add, that your appreciation is clear to all.
By the ammount of time & effort you give back to PC, and I'm sure, CC also.
Which makes you a welcomed and familiar sight, as well as a valuable team member, an extremely well liked character, and a great addition to an already top flight squad.
You also have a wonderful 'down to earth' sense of humour which has added lot's of fun to the PC forum, on many occasions, which myself and I'm sure many others have enjoyed often.
I also agree with allight. It was very well written.

Alan

Oh my Valeria, you got me yesterday at CC and now today here and I honestly can't think of words to type that would compare with the wonderful things you said. So I'll reply as I did at CC.

Dear Valeria, thank you so very much for those beautiful words!!! I have tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat because I never think of CC and PC as work, I come here to play and I love to play hard and I honestly don't know what I'd do without CC, PC, Geno, RoyalCrush, Poker Guru or all my wonderful Crusher family!!!

I wish I could come up with a reply worthy of your posts, but the words aren't coming. All I can say is from the bottom of my heart, thank you!!

Love ya!!

Our dear and precious Valeria!

You have taken my breath away. As have the others whose posts follow yours.

As soon as I can breathe again regularly, I will try to think of some way to reply.

Just didn't want you to think your post went unnoticed or ignored. Far from it!

I am just too touched for words at the moment.

MUCH LOVE!

Your Guru

Yes it is, gals.

And if it is the last thing I do, I am going to see that face become our official logo with t-shirts available to all PC members -- at a small cost, of course, but TOP quality!

Gotta get that ball rolling!

Dear Precious-to-us-all Valeria,

At last, I am going to TRY to answer your loving post of such great praise.

Before I begin, let me say that deserved or not, I am accepting that beautiful posted gift, because to let it get away from me
would be a terrible loss, to both myself and the generations to come who will someday, I hope, enjoy reading my memoirs.

In recent days, while thinking about what you had to say, I have begun to look at your post as a treasure box, with every word being a priceless jewel. Some days I need one jewel more than the others, and the next day my need might change again. So I have hung every one of your word jewels on a virtual chain, worn around my neck, beneath my shirt, and close to my heart.

In troubled times, I reach up and touch my cherished jewel,and whatever was wrong is no more. Instead, I am feeling fine again, with a warmth that makes the whole world glow, and even makes those around me cheerful. It's like when you toss a pebble into a quiet lake. The circles that travel outward from it, nobody knows how many they reach, but I know that they reach them with beauty and quiet joy to give.

So your treasured gift to me, my friend, was really a gift of beauty and happiness to a world in great need of it.

I thank you for giving me so much more than you know. I treasure your treasure box.

Your ever-lovin' Guru

My Poker Guru,

Please add ' Poetic Genius ' to your list of many talents.

What a delightful man of many loving words you are.

valeria - 14.11.2007, 21:39
Post subject:

WOW! I am touched PokerGuru by your words. They make me want to cry but not from sadness but with a soft touch of joy to my heart.

As ALW said it was very poetic and actually really touched me.

Every word was true and well deserved in my post and I wanted the world to know how I felt. I had no idea it would touch you so deeply but that makes me happy that it did.

We rarely remember to give thanks for things done for us but are quick to be critical. I try to improve on that and give praise and love when I think it should be said.

Thank YOU Guru for those beautiful words!!! I am going to save them and print them out. Then hang it on my wall. And days I feel down about myself I can read that and know I touched someone and made them feel good if only for a moment. THAT will make me feel better.

HUGGGGGS

My dear ALW,

I shall always strive to become the man you think I already am.

If I ever make it, it will be because of you and my other magnificent members who believe in me at Poker-Crush.

With great appreciation,
Your Guru
