I am so Honored!

Where do I start when so many have gone the distance to make my birthday so special? Truly I was touched and honored by all your letters, cards and gifts and yes I did get them all. My PO Box manager was laughing when he called me and said he was running out of space so I should hurry and collect my mail! LOL. For ladies who donated to AAE charity I am forever thankful you did a great deed and you will receive back, just believe. I have to say I am usually worried when receiving gifts form folks who how should I say it?... Who I have never met in person but all of you have great taste and I was moved by your choices. You know the word inspiration come's from the Latin word to inspire which mean "Of The Spirit" when you are inspired the Great Spirit breaths through you and some force higher than you and your thoughts is at work. If you are inspired by what I do and say, believe me it flows both ways and by keeping the right intentions in your heart, all of us will rise above the mundane. I am proud of the growing Tribe that has become the back bone of this forum and to all the new comers you are all very welcome. I like to end by saying live, strive, be bold in your actions and dare to take a chance in life for the greatest risk of all is not taking one.
With all my heart Jay. Thank You.

You are very welcome. I hope your birthday turned out the way you hoped.

As Christi said, "YOU honor US." YOU are the backbone of this "tribe" and if it weren't for your honorable spirit, we all wouldn't be here in this forum. You are true to the heart. You make us all proud.

Jay: You're welcome! And ditto on what everyone is saying. You are the first person that I have ever met that I gave a card and gift to. It is because you have reached out to me in ways that I cannot fully express. You are truly an Angel sent from heaven!

Correction: Not the first person but the first drop dead georgeous hunk of a supernaturally kind guy!

You are a unique person. Besides the obvious attributes you are kind, giving, and share your time with a bunch of ladies who love you and you know it! Normally I wouldn't be brave enough to talk to someone like you but I have found that over this past year you really don't judge a person by the cover but how they are on the inside. You are unique and that is why I for one stay here.

I am still not sure I will be brave enough to talk to you if I see you one day ... but I will enjoy getting to know you on this wonderful site filled with the most incredible people!

Hi Jay,

You are so welcome-it's we who are honored with your time and consideration. Hope you had a beautiful day yesterday and so glad you liked your gifts. I donated to Adopt An Elder as well, but did it too late to be listd with the other Jaybirds-at least I got your gift in the mail on time (smile).

Thanks for making us ladies(some gents) feel happy, appreciated and like family-this is what a true chief does for his tribe. Sending you a big "Claire Bear" hug....

Grouphug for the Chief!!
Ahh...wait a minute almost forgot MoMo. Another grouphug ...you two are the center of our love and admiration.

Like a ripple in the tides of life, it flows outward - touching so many.

It was truly a joy putting together a B-day box for you, and yours . It was lots of fun , even the exemplary salesmanship used at the 'smart' place. Boy their good....

Jay,

As usual I'm late in wishing you a . I hope it is/was a day of fun with family and friends. As for me, you've inspired me to pursue my dream of becoming a "published writer". With all of the great feedback I received from the ladies here, i'm trying to move forward with that dream. You've also made me want to come back here everyday hoping to read more of your inspiring words of wisdom. I've come to realize that at the age of 33 you can't sit back and wait for things to happen. You have to be the one to see the opportunity set in front of you and take that chance. If I was ever blessed with seeing you in person.....Oh!!! I definitely would have plenty to say. I'm not shy about that. Anyway, I'm babbling. I just want to say that aside from you being absolutely sexy, kind and wise, you inspire me to want to be a better person. If I can make someone smile or cheer them up from having a bad day, then I'm happy. For that, I will always be here.

Glad you had such an...overwhelming birthday, Chief! LOL And as the coordinater of the group who donated to the AAE in your name let me just say you are WELCOME and it is our pleasure to help someone else in need. The outpouring of donations to the elder has been great and I know she is going to be pleasantly surprised! I also made it known to the elder that it is because of you, Jay Tavare, that we even know about the program and it is your inspiration that moved us to action. She also knows that if there are thanks to be given they should go to YOU, Jay.

Personally, I know what it's like to have an elderly mother who can't afford the essentials and it was because of the generosity of others that she lived a relatively decent life until she passed away. Since she is no longer here I thought it only right to pass on the same generosity that helped my mother by helping someone else's mother. And I'm not looking for a reward or to get anything back (either here or in the afterlife), I do it because it's the right thing to do. Yes, it IS that simple for me. What can I say? I'm a simple girl at heart! LOL OK, climbing off the now...

So glad you enjoyed your day. Here's to having a GREAT year ahead!!

Cheers!

Terri

When Terri came up with the idea, it became a simple matter. I had gotten mailings from AAE several years ago and thought then it was a nice thing to do- SOMEDAY. My own mother turned 29 for the 50th time earlier this month and doesn`t have to worry with the essentials but SOMEDAY had also arrived. It was also a pleasure to do it as a group. And-Thank You.

Jay,

I'm glad you had such a wonderful day and that the presents you received were to your liking. I can only imagine your anxiety about getting strange to "ratty" gifts from folks that have never met you personally. I'm glad that everyone managed to get it "right". Glad you had a great one, and I wish you an even greater year!!!


Holler at cha later, Jay!

Wow, see this is what I mean....I haven't been here in a few weeks and I just thought I'd pop in and what do I see? People really can be nice! I been to some fan forums and it's kinda scary and not really all that plesanet, but this one? Exemplary!
and why is it so? as someone above stated you guys have chosen a cool dude to admire, and dote on. ahhhhh jay's words were like a genuinely warm hug you get from a favored relative. That's about the only way I can describe it. I didn't even send the fella anything and I felt he was talkin to me.

out of curiosity: by chance did anyone send him "The People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn?
If not someone should...heck he probably already owns it.
Anyway. I wanted to peep up and say I thought this whole exchange was heartening.
Thanks everybody.
