I hope you all understand this post, it's in the vein of "what prompted you to post."
My Cat curiousity asks: what one moment during yoru time on Flyertalk really touched your heart, made you realize that this board and the people on it aren't so bad.
It can be a post that left you in hysterical laughter or a Flyertalker who helped you with a traveling questions or sent you an upgrade, or a special meeting with a Flyertalker, or a F-T Do that meant a lot to you.
I not only ahve one: I have
four moments that stand out for me:
1.
Meeting Rudi for the first time. (that's described under "when did you make your first post?" forum)
2.
THE SECOND AND BIGGER CATMAN Do and PremEx presenting me with special "Cateau Blanchard" wine and specially made labels and a copy of the label framed (it's on teh wall around my growing Flyertalk gallery above my computer!) The defining moment: the two little bottles of wine for Yaz and Eddie (who drank both bottle and was one very tipsy kitty!) Yaz got the drops and stayed sober!
3.
Giving the little gifts for all the attendees at the PIP. I was nervous the whole time until the dinner and once I got up to start the presentations, it's like this weight got lifted off my shoulders thanks to the smiles of all teh guests. From there I knew NOTHING was impossible (hense the Catman DO 2 came to be!)
4. The do's would not have been even attempted if it wasn't for my adopted kid bruddar and one of my bestest buddies wanderlust! He was
the FIRST Flyertalker that I hosted in NYC, showed him around for his first visit on the Fourth of JULY. What he didn't know is I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED OF PLAYING TOUR GUIDE TO A TOTAL STRANGER! But he had a terrific time, and at the Smith and WOllensky steakhouse wanderlust crowned me CATBASSADOR and thanked me for purrfect touring efforts and my genorsity and for taking a chance at hanging with him and maybe finding a new friend. I said back "I found more than just a friend. I found my kid brother and I was honored that HE could consider me as a friend."
I knew then that if I could host one Flyeratalker in NYC, I could host five or ten or even 40. Thanks wanderlust for being the test case for the Catbassador!
OK! All of this is mushy but Theresa says my heart is made of Kleenex!!
