I am in total shock! I missed the live steam and was watching the recording when Amanda just called me!

This win is for all of us; cause I don’t know if I would have kept up the stamina to maintain tank if it wasn’t for all your encouragement.

I have to go through the thread to respond to everyone still
You are a wonderful kind sweet lady and you deserve this win and so much more!!!

Amanda, thank you so very much for calling me - it was even more meaningful that I found out from a special friend

You are going to have so much fun! I can't wait to see what all you get!
 
Amanda, thank you so very much for calling me - it was even more meaningful that I found out from a special friend
I feel honored that I got to tell you!
 
I was driving faster than normal to get home to congratulate her!!!
I’m glad you made it home in one piece and I hope I didn’t pop your eardrum when I screamed and cried when you told me.
 
That is so awesome, couldn’t have happened to a better and more deserving person. This just made my day. Congratulations @ESABOE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Katrina - I’ve been missing you lately on here, but it looks like your enjoying RL stuff and that’s even better
 
I’m glad you made it home in one piece and I hope I didn’t pop your eardrum when I screamed and cried when you told me.
No not at all! I could feel your excitement and shock! I would have given you a big hug and jumped up and down for you if I were there!
 
I hope she's ok... Hopefully she was sitting down when she saw and passed out...
I was sitting in bed and a good thing I was cause I would have crumbled to floor like a total goofball.
 
And here I thought the most exciting part of my day was gonna tell you all the that rosy scal and Mel wrasse are calming down and the Puppy isn’t being aggressive- just defensive on big pieces of Mysis!

Go figure…
