In helping maxiepines, you have once again stunned me with your ability to provide a huge array of relevant inspirations with shocking alacrity.

Putting aside your unfailing generosity and kindness, how do you manage to pull up so many appropriate photos for even the most arcane question? Do you have an archive indexed to the edge of the Milky Way? A photographic memory? A benign form of demonic possession?

Just curious. Cheers and many, many, many thanks. hbk

She has helped so many of us here on the forum and I want to echo my thanks to her also.

So here's to you, Boxerpups! :-)

I just love kitchens and truly understand how sometimes
a picture can really help one to figure out their own
space. I do have a PB account and I guess I remember
kitchens like some people remember faces.

GW gives me an escape. Some people play video games, others
shop on line, golf, play tennis, run, walk their dogs,
cook, garden, read.... I love Gardenweb. It is my little
indulgence. Kind of like Chocolate.

Thank you again.

Thanks for all you do, Boxer.

Joy^3, you mentioned poems. In recognition of Boxer's contributions, here is a little ditty in terza rima. (I find that doggerel looks least like doggerel if done in terza rima!)

Here is an ode to boxerpups
who delights us all with her pix
that serve as kitchen pick-me-ups

when our inspiration needs a fix.
Slack-jawed, we read and wonder
how she conjures from her bag of tricks:

The desired image comes quick as thunder
after the blinding lighting flash.
Before I'd know what tag to look under

she has posted a relevant cache
of shots with ranges by Bosch, coffee by Krupps,
with counters of soapstone and cabinets of ash!

So let us all raise our cups
and join in the ode to boxerpups.

Happy Fourth of Giberthington's Washday.

Three Cheers for BP! (the other one; she tries harder).

Yes, I am amazed by Boxerpups ability to pull the kind of pics wanted by a poster. I know I was the grateful recipient of such a request!

So to BP I raise my coffee cup!

Circuspeanut, You are too kind. In fact a long time ago
I was short with you on a post. It was about frameless
cabs. (I was wrong but stubborn about it)
I am beyond thankful you have forgiven me. You
probably did not even realize I was being a grumpy poster
but I was. It was a bad day at work, no excuses really,
and I took it out on GW. And yet here you say I am the
kindest in decades. Moi???? Have you looked in the mirror
my dear? Promise you will look in the mirror
and see how truly kind you are to everyone on GW.

You rock Circus with your creativity, generosity and
sweetness to all. I have seen such inspiring and
encouraging posts from you to newbies, people worried
about copper, anxiety about a corner sink, questions about
paint (finish painter), yellow and the drawings you
provide for all.

I honestly think this post should be

CHEERS TO CIRCUSPEANUT.

~boxer

(I can't remember any snark over frameless cabinets at all! I do rather vividly recall Roger Teixeira calling me a moron, and a bunch of kitchen designers leaping on me when I backed up davidro's quest for Euro-style fridge cabinet hinges. But no grump from you, my dear. Not that you're not perfectly entitled to a good occasional grump, just like everyone else.)

I'm inspired by AnglieDIY: let's make some bad haiku for Boxerpups Day:

always listening
she gifts us with grace and fur
gentle visuals

photos of kitchens
boxerpups has e.s.p.
where are my car keys

There. An entirely lame haiku just for Boxerpups! :o)

Kitchen images
float through the inky ether
from Boxer to us.

BP has helped all
We post, she answers sagely
Pups saves our kitchens

On a day when rudeness seemed rampant, this thread has reaffirmed my faith that good people still reside in this world. Not only Boxer, but honorbiltkit for starting this post to express her gratitude, and the many others who have chimed in--and so poetically! Thank you all! You've made me smile again. :)

BP.
