Dear Jokestress: last night I was looking at the Misplaced Pages page for Devra Kleiman. Devra was a very dear friend of my wife. They worked together at the Smithsonian - National Zoo. I happened to take a look at the history of edits and saw your name as the originator of the page back in 2013. When I saw your name there I looked at your user page and I said to myself, that sounds familiar. It seems similar to the person who started the Misplaced Pages page for my wife's mother, Margot Gayle. I went to her page and sure enough, your name shows up as the person who initiated that page as well (in 2008, a few weeks after she died at the age of 100).

It is a great tribute to your dedication to documenting the careers and lives of women who have made great contributions to society: in the former case to conservation biology in the latter case to historic preservation. Thank you for your service. ] (]) 20:20, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Barnstars

I to award this barnstar to you in appreciation of the great cleanup you have done to hoodia, in addition to your many other fine contributions. --Ed (Edgar181) 18:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
A special barnstar for these special edits!

Sometimes, there is nothing more magical on Misplaced Pages than to see a little article suddenly sprinkled with references. Thanks for making my day. :-) --HappyCamper 06:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Smile a little, smile a little, all along the road;
Every life must have its burden, every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness with your grief to sup?
As you drink Fate's bitter tonic, smile across the cup.

Smile upon the troubled pilgrims whom you pass and meet;
Frowns are thorns, and smiles are blossoms, oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder by a sullen face;
Smile a little, smile a little, brighten up the place.

Smile upon your undone labour; not for one who grieves
O'er his task waits wealth or glory; he who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss and sorrow in the passing years,
Smile a little, smile a little... even through your tears!

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Have a beautiful day, dear Jokestress! :)
