< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 72 OF 89 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-19-16    Annie K.: Thank you, thank you! :) OK, first, I'd like to thank my manager... No, wait. I don't *have* a manager. Nor would I recommend that anybody try. :p All right then, thanks to everybody who voted for me, and congratulations to <Golden Executive> - and <WannaBe>, who is probably still in shock! ;) Jan-19-16    WannaBe: Thank you everyone, I had this speech (ghost) written, and would like to share it with y'all: Oh, Benton, what you did for me; you changed my life, truly. This means so much more to me this time. I don't know why. I think the first time I hardly felt it because it was all so new. I owe a lot to the cast, to my players, to Lindsay and John and Danny and Ed and Amy and my little friends Gennie and Yankton. I owe a lot to my family for holding me together and loving me and having patience with this obsession of me. But I want to say thank you to you. I haven't had an orthodox career and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it. And I can't deny the fact that you like me. Right now, you like me! Thank you. Jan-19-16    Everyone: <Thank you everyone> ¡De nada!
