I know we aren't really supposed to mention anyone's name on here, but I'm going to anyway. P1kefish, you are the bomb. Do you know what this man did for me? When I was a little girl, I lived in England. My mother is British, my father was in the United States Air Force. I was born in Northolt and lived later in Oxfordshire, Bicester to be exact. I left England in 1977 and haven't had the opportunity to return. P1kefish went out of his way today to visit my home, took pictures and then sent them in an email. I have never even met this man and yet he did something for me that meant the world. How cool is that? Thank you, somehow, doesn't seem to be enough. I took one look at the picture he sent and was flooded with wonderful memories. So I just wanted to say thanks to him and to tell you that if you don't have him as a friend, please add him. You won't regret it, he's one of a kind with a good and wonderful heart and alot of good things to say in his discussions. Once again, thank you P1kefish, you are truly a dear friend and someone I hope to have as a friend for quite sometime to come.

Thank you Mooch. I am embarrassed by the praise. I don't really deserve it. I was just helping out a friend. That was a good thing that you did for your friend too.

Hi, p1kef1sh! Great to see this post here for you. You were the first responder (and I appreciate that very much) to my very first posted discussion, and I've been noticing you around since then. Back then I said, "More POWER to you!". Now kbourgerie said, "you're the bomb". So, I guess, you're Nuclear Power! (apologies to Greenpeace) :'D You're a blast! hehehe ='D

It does restore your faith, doesn't it? There are so many negative things in the world, its nice to find someone that puts a positive spin on things.

That is the coolest, i am already friends with P1kefish, but we dont speak to often, but thats because i cant be on here like i would like since i am babysitting now, then i had a dry peirod the last couple of days. That is so awsome though, he did seem like a good guy from what i seen of him. Keoutoez (dont know how to spell it) to P1keefish, and this almost made me cry reading it for there are still nice people in the world.

What a beautiful thing to do, I have joined in on his discussions many a time and he does come across as a lovely person but that is an absolutely lovely thing he did for you. Makes me proud to be British!! It is nice to know that there are still some genuine people in the world, and it is nice to know that we have some of them on here!

gee I was thinking this would have been deleted, it is weird you never know which will and which won't anymore. I don't know why your other post was deleted the one about not having access to a computer. That was just weird.

How lovely for you. And what a warm thoughtful friend. I've lived in many places and have no wish to return as my memories are better forgotten but I hear the warmth and pleasure in your voice.

Hi I absolutely 100% agree with you on this one. He is an amazing guy and I also although have never met him think of him as a friend. He helped me change my whole perspective on a situation that I was experiencing recently and from the help he gave and a listening ear I was able to turn the situation around into something so positive. That was a lovely thing for him to have done for you. True Gentlemen. Well done P1kef1sh ! Ellie :D

I think if someone had posted a discussion like that for me I would have had to take much more than a peek so thats not vanity! I have read all the posts and they are all so positive not just about you but about KB too and how she really appreciates what you have done for her. I do too, you really helped me last weekend so thanks again for that one, gave some clarity. Yep the lunch in the summer sounds good even if it is too just shatter all these illusions Keep up the good work you are certainly well loved and respected here on myLot as this discussion proves. Ellie :D

My appalling vanity brought me to have a little peek here and I found your beautiful post. Thank you Ellie. Perhaps we ought to sort out that lunch this Summer. Then you can tell people how horrible I am really!!

Seems he is in fact a very nice person and a good friend to have. It was just earlier this week that I enjoyed rreading a post from another of his friends which was a good natured aim at a challenge for him. What P1kefish has done for you is really beyond what the english vocab allows for to show appreciation. (lol)
