I can't say it any better than my friend, but in my case it was Al who sent me the invite for CA.

God Bless

Special thanks to loki, Wolfgang, SmokeyJoe, Tanith, TheBeard, bigswol2, tobii, and Lt. Skills for being great B/SOTL's and making my stay here at the asylum and in NC a wonderful experience!

kgoings · 09-30-2009, 09:56 PM

First and foremost God..enough said.

Secondly I would like to thank everyone here who listened to my posts (you know what I mean) and sent prayers, karma, whatever you sent while my mom was fighting for her life after her Brain Aneurysm...2 weeks before Christmas no less.

You guys were really the only people who I could talk with outside of my sister and my wife. This site is 'My Friends'

Thanks

I'm thankful for everyone who puts up with me.

Really.

kelmac07 · 09-30-2009, 11:27 PM

Everyone here at the Asylum that welcomed me with open arms about six months ago when I got into this. This place is truly a haven for us enthusiasts.

SmokeyJoe · 11-25-2009, 05:22 PM

Thought I would resurrect this thread on the eve of Thanksgiving just to say how much I appreciate the inmates of this place!

I am grateful my mom is still with us, even though her health is not the best. Just glad I will see her tomorrow.

My wonderful wife and two awesome kids that all make me very proud.

How about you? Thankful for anything?

Thankful for a loving and devoted wife. We are celebrating our 28th anniversary today.

Thankful for family & friends.

Thankful for the ten other "red" inmates who help run this place. You guys are the best.

Thankful for my S.H.I.T. herf brothers and the many guests who have joined us.

Thankful for the many BOTLs/patriots who take point (Fred, Richard, and the many who preceded you.) on providing a taste of home to our brave men and women serving overseas.

My parents for always being in my corner no matter what
God for giving me the strength to get through each day, blessing me with a wonderful, healthy family, a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and food on my plate.

RevSmoke · 11-25-2009, 07:22 PM

1st - Thanks to God for forgiveness. (Yeah, I'm a poor, miseable, sinner)
2nd - Thanks to God for life. (this one and for all eternity)
3rd - Thanks to God for my faith.

4th - Thanks to God for my wife, Pauline - and to her for marrying me, and hanging in there for 24+ years.
5th - Thanks to God for my sons.
6th - Thanks to God for my whole extended family.
7th - Thanks to God for all my friends - including those here at CA.
8th - Thanks to God for giving the smarts to the 11 to come up with this place so that we can escape for a bit each day.

SmokeyJoe · 07-24-2010, 08:06 PM

I really want to thank:

1. My wife - The beautiful Mrs. SmokeyJoe spent the entire afternoon at the Pepin event yesterday. She even took pictures!

2. BryanB - completely blew my doors off yesterday with a BOX of RyJ Habana Reserves. Unbelievable!

3. Empire Cigars (Hal, Dave and the gang) - what an awesome Pepin event! Appreciate all of the BBQ and fixin's, and the prizes! I won TWO - back to back draws!

4. Don Jose' Pepin Garcia - for making such tasty cigars, and spending all day in Raleigh... in 100 degree heat... wearing a long sleeve shirt.

Anybody else have somebody to thank?

G G · 07-24-2010, 08:24 PM

1. God
2. My wife
3. Shilala has always been an encouragement to me, I hope I have encouraged him some too.
4. Joe, you have popped in and gave me some encouragement when I needed it unbknwownst to you but not to your Father.
5. too many to list really, lots of friends here that have given me a pick me up when I was going through some tough times and my family and I have seen some really tough times in the last several years. To all of you I thank and appreciate you and CA.

Just finished reading from the beginning. Joe, great thread Brother, thank YOU for starting it and continually resurrecting it.

I want to thank the Team Of 11. I havnt been here long but you get a very good sense of the family and inmates on board here real fast. Thank you guys for continuing to moderate, maintain and participate in what you've created.

I'd like to thank all the fellow inmates. Some of you are sick, twisted and uncontrollable. Then there is the handful that are just nice people. Their good too.

I'd like to thank all our Brothers and Sisters in all ranks and all divisions of our military. Your unselfish ways and undying love for our country has allowed all of us here to enjoy our smokes without "real" bombs blowing up our humidors.

I'd like to thank Ramon Cifuentes for creating the Partagas blends of yesteryear. Hey, we all have our favorites!

I suppose I could go on but I think that's good for now...

I'd like to thank 1,282 committed Inmates.
