I am rolling down I-81 heading to see some family in NJ, being chauferred by my wife of 25 yrs as I type this on my phone.

I would like to take a minute today to say, "Thanks" to all of my friends here on AZ.

Realkingcobra - Glen is a complicated guy, who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it! Always there to help with anything. Thanks Glen!

Blackjack - David is such a great contributor, not just here on the board but to pool in general. He is always open arms if you need help with your game. Dave I really appreciate you!

NJ? Isn't that a parking lot for NY?

So many great people to thank!

Thanks to you also Bob!! You have been a long time supporter with your humor and kind words! Look forward to meeting!

How does race to 6 for chicken dinner sound? LOL

Eric Valentine

I also would like to thank my buddy Fatboy who I also like to refer to as "Eric Valentine". LOL

Eric's wheels are always turning! He loves pool and making $ as much or more than I do! LOL. See you soon buddy!

Thanks for all you do!

Giving Thanks

My dad always reminded all to remember who to thank. I'm sure he was talking about God, since he was a preacher, but I think it's a valuable lesson for many things in life.

Thanking people is done way too seldom. I think if you just take a minute or 2 to say thanks, you will be amazed at the goodwill you will create.

I almost forgot my friend and one of our " good guys" who is always there when things get rough. The level headed one.

Ribdoner.

Thanks A! I definitely consider you my buddy. You make it great here!

Ray,
You're a good guy! I know you're one of the more popular guys here because you always seem to be so happy and upbeat. That's a nice spirit to have!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Sorry we couldn't hook up during your trip, but hopefully someday soon!

funny thing is:
some folks like me, think the same about YOU!

all the best and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and have a Safe Ride,

Thanks Ray and have a good trip and holiday.
 
Say hello to NJ for me.

I hope you and yours have a great Thanksgiving there.

And, No NJ is not a parking lot for NY.
It is a breeding ground for many famous pool players.
Steve Miserack may he RIP and Allen Hopkins, are among many others.
Oh And of course don't forget me.:grin-square:
Where will you be going?

And thanks to Black-BAlled. He replied FIRST

I often find myself reading your post......twice......, trying to figure out what the h*ck you're talking about! LOL.

I appreciate you being here!! It keeps me on my toes!! You also have a twisted sense of humor, a lot like myself and a few others here!

Thanks for being BB! Happy Thanksgiving!

Bigtruck,
Have you landed safely in NJ? Enjoy the day.
Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow.

Forget that chicken dinner...I only play for RED MEAT.

(just found out I'm not working tomorrow, so if you want to make it earlier give me a buzz.)

I cheated a little, I have an I-phone! LOL. It's still a one finger ordeal, especially with my wife driving. Lots of backspacing!! LOL.

Happy Thanksgiving
