Thread: 5 Star General Vasili

Eric,

On behalf of everyone here at VodaHost and the armed forces of the Republic of Vodaland.

We Salute You Sir!

Eric my friend, hearty congratulations and I am sure that you will enjoy the opening picture that ***** so kindly published......

Well done, Eric!
Congratulations.

Congrats old friend, i'am only 4000 + behind and catch even if a bit slow.


Check your mail as the answer to your support ticket is there.

Congratulations, Eric!

A worthy accomplishment from a worthy member of this wonderful forum.

A Big Congratulations to you Vasili!

Eric, congratulations !!!
Your advice has helped a lot of us keep our sanity.
Well done.

Congratulations General! A most deserved recognition of value and contribution!

Most well done Eric!

Congratulations, Vasili, Generalissimo!

A milestone that is marked with the addition of a 5th star in your VodaLand ranking that I must say, “Eye am elated to see”. Wow!! Eric, you have brightened, mentored and nurtured voda peers in a “unique” and “quality” way. You are a true soldier and at times a warrior, lol. May I call you “The ***** in Mine Eye”. Your contributions from “simply basic” to “absolute brilliance” are some of the best resources found throughout VodaLand today and heavily relied on by many on this board. May we watch as you “sprinkle” the board with five thousand more. I look forward to your completion of “Voda Tips”, one that we will surely all bookmark for reference today and in the future. Thanks for being my friend, mentor and “***** in Mine Eye” …. Luvs ya always!!

In keeping with reality and inspired by an early posting made by General *****, we thought we'd make you a "keepsake" poster. Hope you like!!

Nice job!

Cute Holly - I vaguely recall having that body ... oh, maybe it was in my dreams..LOL

Well Done

Congratulations General!

Congrats Vasili!

You deserve a real star!

Karen

Trust you to always be at the front of things LE....nice bodies girls !!!

Eric: Wow, 5* General! I better behave now, right? Seriously, I have learned sooooo much from your posts around this neighborhood. You have given so much of yourself to help others succeed in their web development endevors. You can ride on my boat anytime, as long as you bring the popcorn that Karen left behind! lol. Thank you SIR, for the amazing knowledge and help you have given me and others.

Now....about that picture of Hollys she posted above. That body fits my name....DREAM ON.....lol I don't think I have ever had a body like that. Man that picture, really motivates me now!! Hey Holly....how come you got a better tan than the rest of us when you won't even leave Canada to go cruisen?? lol

Hope you have a GREAT DAY, EVENING, Eric and hope you celebrate in some fashion than behind the computer!!
Cindy

F I V E S T A R G E N E R A L

You are so good Mr. V!

Congratulations!

Congrats, Vasili. Speech! Speech! Speech!

Unbelievable!
(The poster of the beautiful VodaGals, not the fact that I couldn't sneak past the mark without being deluged with all the kind words and meaningful comments! Are you sure this isn't a swimsuit shot for the upcoming VodaCalendar??)

OK....here it comes: the "Book That Vasili Wrote" again! LOL

Honestly, I have always treasured the entire VodaHost Opportunity from the very beginning as it represented the very real means for me to actually take control of my online vision and destiny rather than remain captive to inept "webmasters" only to be bled dry with nothing worthy to show for it. At the same time, I have sincerely cherished every member of VodaTalk, and secretly revelled in earning friendships that continue to be mutually satisfying in the most real and special way. Your presence (all of my wonderful VodaPeers) has provided me with the reality-check I need and has been the wellspring of wisdom, support, encouragement, and expertise that my vision thrives on and has come to depend on completely!

I have been so encouraged by each of you that I have raced ahead like a little kid in a candy store to create at least the foundations of the "necessary" websites that comprise my "suite," much to the chagrin of conventional wisdom ("whoever heard of a General with so many unfinished projects?") and traditional credibility ("is he for real, since so much is incomplete?"). Whether it is apparent or not, every morsel of wisdom and technique I "collected" from each one of you has become integral to the foundation of all I have designed, proof if you will, that real progress in VodaLand is the result of Teamwork, of sharing, and by unrestricted cooperation......just as in life!

And...as Holly mentioned....it was my intention to Give Back to this wonderful Community with the completion "VodaTips.com" in time for this "promotion" but alas! I am typically slammed. This drive to Give Back was first modelled for me as an answer to the question I asked of General Racefan20 as why he and a few of the others were so apt to freely help out no-nothings like myself, and it has always seemed to fit perfectly within my mindset to master as well: he answered "I am just paying forward in appreciation for all I have learned..." When General Navaldesign created his "Advanced Blue Voda Form Processor" I was further inspired to offer some effort that might universally benefit my peers, and thus my steps toward VodaTips......I hope to load it with all the collected wisdoms and technical solutions that will hopefully prove to be of value in short order, so.....I beg a little more patience?

To some I am sure I resemble something more like a Drill Seargent than a soft-spoken businessman, and to others I probably am barely tolerable altogether! Granted, I too, don't like "Forum Cops" and am keen on sharing some ***** humor or tweaking the mind a bit with the clever Games hereabouts....but everything has been a process of learning for me, an exercise of the mind and a test of my reslience....and it is only by the strenght and support offered so freely from each of you that I have progressed even this far.

It is each of you that deserves accolades, for you provide the inspiration and the framework for the future to be laid upon! I strive only to give as freely as you have given to me.

I want to tip my hat to the VodaTeam that holds all of this together ---***** especially, for his personal encouragements and sincere advisories (and his singular ability to put up with my shenannigans) --- for without their daily dedication, I would have no reliable resources to tap into........and offer a smile to what the future holds for VodaLand!

Rather than offer my individual thanks, I prefer that you make the effort to savor this moment as your own....as your time of affirmation, for it is the direct result of your investment in me, a privilege I enjoy and a distinct honor I will humbly remember always!


THANK YOU ALL!

well done Vasili. Congrats!

A BIG CONGRATS
*Vasili* It is well deserved.

Nice words Vasili

Congrats again and just because I really liked your "comeback", we'll take you to the beach with us!! Hee hee But of course you will be expected to work on your "Voda Tips".

Great to see you Zlatko!!

Well, it looks like my newest bathing suit was not all that great after all, being buried in the sand!!

>> Or was that a strategic move to keep my hands more manageable??? LOL
At least you let me have a stogie, I suppose!

I appreciate all the pomp and circumstance, but I really do feel quite humbled by it all. Hopefully, my "reaching out" adds to the feeling of thankfulness I truly am experienceing......

Now.....lemme experience all that wonderful attention ladies! The day is yet young!

I'm saving a really good cigar for your next Star!

Eric my friend! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!! I have been away from the forum for a while and missed it a great deal. Family, work and business ventures have kept me hopping! Good to be back in time to see your promotion.

Take care and I'll see ya on the web!

Andy

There you go, a year in Vodaland and i never knew your name was Eric.

Well done Eric on your promotion. you come across as someone always willing to help, you may have one or two differences of opinion at times,

but you put your point across without getting nasty or telling the other person they are wrong and forums are sometimes about different views. I personally find your information very constructive and helpful and I would like to say thank you for passing your wealth of knowledge on.

Regards Paul

Ahhhh sorry about the **** Grammer and layout of the above, I had just risen from my bed, but you get the message : )

Keith: Yes, you have been missed, and there is much for you to catch up on! Be sure to check out the new "Community Project" being nurtured by Holly (LadyEye)....the "Gallery"....I am surprised that you did not remember my name after my frantic phone calls and your patient rescues! LOL Glad to see you have been well, and thank you for your continued support!

Paul: I never notice anything but our "common frustrations" whenever we tromp around in VodaLand....whatever could you be worried about?? LOL Thank your for taking the time to give me a thumbs up! Your time is nearing, my friend, and then it will be you that will be the one we turn to...


and one we go...

Are you hiding tonight General or are you over in the "Officers Mess"???

Where's your hat, what's your hurry ....

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Nooo.....just writing another "book" in the showcase, and whipping up a "Test Page" to illustrate my perspectives.....typical, I'm sure, as they will all wonder why I bother probably.

I will start that thread, though, but not tonight. Sorry I missed you, and made you feel I was ignoring my Outlook!

Vasili,

Congratulations on the fifth star. I appreciate all your advice and help you give freely as I read the forum. You have helped me personally also. This couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

BTW: The tune you posted is "Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boys of Company B"

Always been a fan of Swing....."R-A-G-G- M-O-P-P ..RAGMOP!"
Swing, Big Band, Jazz.....fed my early forays into poetry actually.....very similar in certain ways...I even had a 4 month personal insatiable appetite researching the songs of the whales, and how they "fit" into the grand scheme of things (Language, communication, music, abstract thinking).
Then came the 9th grade dance, and I realized I needed to learn how to be anything but dorky!
LOL

New tune in the officers room Vasili ... see if you like it ...

Oh and is this you in grade 9 .... lmao

No....I looked like a cross between Ciachi (Happy Days) and a mini-Glen Campbell......(black leather coat, longer hair, cleft chin, long eyelashes, mesmerizing eyes and smile -- a real LadyKiller, and I mean ladies, not girls! LOL)
