Anniversary ParTea!

by kymidwife » Apr 22nd, '10, 17:24

OK... I meant to be here at the crack of midnight 4-22... but women in labor have a tendency to wreck the best-laid plans. I ended up working all night and most of the morning, and collapsed for a nap after lunch. So, here I am, later than intended.

However, sources show that the actually moment of celebration is 8:52pm... the tick of the clock that will commemorate the 4th TeaChat anniversary of our beloved mod, Chip.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Chip for 4 years of dedicated membership. I have personally appreciated your knowledge, advice, good humor, and all of your thankless Mod Squad work (especially the spam-buster duties).

Congratulations on 4 years with TeaChat, and here's a green toast to wish you many more!

Thank you all most kindly for the well wishes. And wishing there was some shincha to toast at the designated hour. Mmmmmaybe matcha in a new Cory Lum Chawan? Sounds like a great plan.

TeaGift today, a Cory Lum Chawan that I have openly admired in Cory's topic. It speaks to me! Each turn tells another story, and btw, it is spectacular.

Cory's photo, it will be a challenge to capture as well as he has, but even he falls short of its IRL beauty.

Happy, happy anniversary, Chip!! Thanks for spam-busting, tea talks, friendship and wrangling the unwrangle-able. Oh and my wallet thanks you for the Shincha and teaware addiction.

Ahem...

Hugs!

Happy anniversary, Chip! Words cannot describe what an asset you are to teachat.com. Thanks for the hard work, topics, and suggestions for the forum.

Hope you're enjoying some good tea right now

Awwww, many more thank you all kindlies! :mrgreen:

*touched*

Sometimes the 4 years seems like ages, and other times I can recall my first posts and even my first topic. Oh, and the first "adding sugar" topic brewhaha I stepped into as a forum newbie ... I almost left the forum over that squirmish. But that was when I learned my mantra ... "brew what you like, like what you brew."

Whoops! Here I come; late to the ParTea!!! :oops:

I got lost.

Chip, Happy Anniversary! I belong to several forums, but this is now the one I come to first each day. Your pleasant cyber demeanor and the help you give newbies has meant a lot to me. Thanks for doing what is usually a pretty thankless job!!
