It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

And caaaan you feel the loooove tonight
It is where we are
Its enough for this wiiide eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And caaaan you feel the looooove tonight
How its laid to rest
Its enough to make kiiiings and warriors
Believe the very best

There ya go Bodhi, now you got it stuck in your brain so you get to live with it.
Sorry if I was too nice, no hang on Im not sorry, Im quite proud of being nice,stick it up ya hooters all you unbelievers. Evil giggle as Greth slinks back to her corner, noone will ever know whether she is really nice or not.

Well Done bodhidharma and steve(ausbonsai)!!! This is such a great and practical way to encourage encouragement! :)
From reading the posts,, the community also becomes closer, and more unified! i totally agree with all the praise(nice talk), that has been given to everyone :D ..
I know that without the help and knowledge of the great minds that fill ausbonsai, us youngins would be endlessly searching google, etc!
Id love to win this award but i really don't need encouragement! :P . Being able to share and learn among like minded people is enough for me!

PS if there was an award for the greatest help.... id vote jamie all the way!! is there anything you dont know inside & out jamie? :lol: :D

PPS The big award should go to Ausbonsai itself!

:lol: thanks mate i appreciate that :D but yes there is a lot i dont know, i just do what i can to help out where i can :D i guess its what i do and in my nature :D

i like to be able to pass on what i have learnt to others, it is what bonsai is about i think, friendship, passing on knowledge and enjoying nature :D

hI aMAZONIDA. You are welcome to vote but export laws would not permit us to get the tree to you. Not alive anyway :?
