A big thank you to Paradisefound, a generous and wonderful person!

I just wanted to say that @Paradisefound has brought a nice uplifting light to the forums here since her arrival. It is very apparent that she has made many friends here. I was very honored recently in her generous GTG/date giveaway of a gold Princess when Mango so gently plucked my name from the pile. :D

I have just now received my new found princess of gold awaiting me all bundled with care. She has come to the land of the cold but I will keep her warm as all princesses should be treated. This is definitely one of my forever coins! <3

<3<3<3 A generous gift from a wonderful person! <3<3<3
<3<3<3 Thank you! I hope you are doing well! <3<3<3

    She suggested in a Coinstartled post that she might be checking out. Hope not.

    Congrats again!! Yeah, I hope Paradise's hiatus is short-lived, but with all the contentious behavior in life in general these days, I can understand wanting to take a break.

    Congrats batman, very nice coin

  • Batman23Batman23 Posts: 5,001 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Unfortunately PF had a negative experience. A lot of friends were getting the axe... or is it the hammer? Members were expressing stress and frustration. It was a difficult period as many here can attest to. But things are calming down and we are settling in.

    There is so much to life outside this forum that I can understand taking a break and doing something different. I mean really... If you were in Hawaii, youthful and positively energetic, would you be sitting around here with a bunch of OCD coin guys all day? I just hope she is happy and doing well in whatever endeavor she had chosen to pursue.

    I also miss Paradise lost. :'(<3
    Most of the banned members are back and posting again so things are getting back to normal here. I hope she knows that the door will always be open for her. :)

    She was totally frustrated with the banning of some members and the deletion of all of their posts. Heather Boyd has restored the deleted posts and brought the banned members back into the forum. @Paradisefound checked out on Nov 3rd and has not been back since. It's possible that she is unaware of the restoration of the banned members and their content which happened after Nov. 4th (Edit). If someone knows her personal email maybe you could drop her a note updating her on the current status which might bring her back to the forum.

    Great idea. Tell her that PerryHall wants her back. :D

    Yes, very generous, I have often wondered what to give away. Recently I got a case of wine and have been giving away bottles to those who would appreciate them and are not problem drinkers or under 30. Patiently sharing your knowledge and wisdom can be a great gift too. If I were to be given a coin like that it would definitely be a keeper!

    @Batman23 .....Congratulations... beautiful coin indeed. Cheers, RickO

  • chumleychumley Posts: 2,305 ✭✭✭✭

    nice coin from a very nice lady....she must return as my cats are getting depressed without her

  • DollarAfterDollarDollarAfterDollar Posts: 3,215 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Very definitely a generous GTG. reward. Didn't know she was a lady and I missed most of the nonsense. Hopefully management learned something.

    If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

    Hey paradise, it is ok to come back now.

    You are very welcome here and your personality is what this place needs.

  • crazyhounddogcrazyhounddog Posts: 14,068 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I am proud to say she is my friend. A lovely person and a true gem . I wish she and Lance would come back. I miss them both.

    Have you met her or just corresponded with her online?

    It seems people are so enamored with her. Because of her avatar? Because she gives things away?

  • BochimanBochiman Posts: 25,556 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Some of us have corresponded with her, back and forth, more than once or twice. We aren't just negative on her "because of her avatar or because she gives things away", we are positive on her because of who she genuinely seems to be...a really nice person with a really nice heart.

    In my interactions, in PMs and such, I found her to be nice, inquisitive, and a very positive, giving person. I never go by avatars be cause you don't know if that is really the person or not, if you haven't met them, and, to me, avatars are there to be fun.
    People giving things away....I used to do it, until I saw immediate flips and people cheating to try to win. I don't judge people, good or bad, by whether or not they do giveaways.

    So, I think that many who are wishing for her return are doing so because of PMs with her and interactions....not for the cynical reasons just given above.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I like her bird. :p

  • BullsitterBullsitter Posts: 5,898 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I miss her.

  • KkathylKkathyl Posts: 3,762 ✭✭✭✭✭

    She is a great person, and I enjoy all her interactions.

    Best place to buy !
