Congrats to Fern on her 2000th post on the "new" Tug BBS.

Fern, being one of the charter members of TUG is the reason I'm here. Thanks
When I found her site many years ago, I couldn't believe that there were people out there who knew so very much about TS.

:whoopie: You'll alway be my TS guru!! :cheer:
 
And here's a very, very special fourth!

Pat H and I were very privileged to dine with Fern and Jerry this evening in Las Vegas. What a joy it was. And the food in the restaurant Fern picked was (almost) to die for.

Many thanks, Fern!

And, again, congratulations!
 
Congratulations Fern :cheer: You have been so helpful to everyone here and of course we've always enjoyed our visits with you and Jerry especially his great dinners.

Lynn
 
Congratulations, Fern. Thanks for all you do for all of us.

Marty
 
Dave, that's not very nice not to name where you dined-unless, of course, it was at Fern's house. I travel to Las Vegas fairly regularly (just got back on 7/11) and I love reading Fern's insider tips (like Gordie Brown). Thanks to Fern I knew him when!!:clap:
 
I may still be a TUG newbie, but I've been a Fern fan from my first day here. Congrats, Fern. Your insights are always appreciated!

Dave
 
:::blushing::: You guys say the nicest things! I didn't realize I'd made a milestone post.

I'll make another post about the restaurant, with a Las Vegas title, since I think some of you might be very interested in it. It was great, as was the company. I actually got to visit with Pat H. twice, cause we hung around together on Saturday for awhile too.

Fern
 
and to celebrate...you get a lifetime membership to TUG!!!! YAY!!

oh wait....

=)
 
Congratulations Fern! :cheer: G
Gerry & I enjoyed 'hanging' around with you and Jerry that week in NOLA, way back and appreciate you two driving to Sacramento to have dinner with us! WOW! that was an unforgettable evening, wasn't it? Loved :)eek: ) that elevator! Our best to both of you.
 
Congratulations, you're my favorite poster on TUG and that buffet we went to in Vegas a couple of years ago was really good!
 
Congrats Fern. You are a true timeshare legend...and we all know your total posts over all these years must be in the stratosphere by now.

Brian
 
Let me add my congratulations as well, Fern. From Timeshare Guru to Fern's Cafe, I have long been an admirer and huge fan. Your knowledge of TS and your tireless generosity are an inspiration to us all.

I remember several years ago, you mentioned a small LV casino called Terrible's. It turned out to be our favourite. It's callinng our name right now! LOL! Must be time for a return trip.

Dori
 
Fern!!! Congrats! You and Jerry are the greatest! Wish you were still in San Francisco area as we visit there more than Vegas :) Jealous you got to meet my earth angel, DaveM.

Gosh, I just noticed I have 2,170 and no one congratulated me -- boohoo. Your cyber-sister, Cathyb
 
Congrats Fern! Always enjoy your posts.

What is Fern's Cafe and is it still around?

Janna
Fern had a website called Timeshare Guru which got me hooked to the online family of TS owners. Then on TS4Ms, had a board which she ran called Fern's cafe. Fern's cafe has new management "G & A's cafe"
 
Congrats!!!

Thanks for all the involvement and feedback!! Keep it coming. I hope to be there soon!!!
 
Way to go, Fern. I too remember looking up timeshares online and finding your name...that was a few moons ago, but you really were a pioneer.

Many of Fern's posts have proven to be very helpful. Her posts and site were invaluable when I began going to Mazatlan and eventually purchasing a Mazatlan timeshare. Even her suggestion regarding using "Today's Posts" on TUG has proven to be a time saver. Previous to that, I used to go to each section of Tug, for example, "Mexico" or "Buying and Selling." Now I visit all of them in one fell swoop. We are very fortunate that Fern has shared her time and expertise with those of us on TUG--and her topics have ranged from erasers that clean walls to above-stove microwaves to Vegas. Thank you, Fern!
 
I 'd like to add my Congratulations to you, and express deep gratitude for how unselfishly you have shared your timeshare expertise, insights, advice, and encouragement to all of us.

I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you and Jerry in person someday.

Jennie
 
Congrats, Fern. The 1st I heard of you is when I was searching on line for timeshares and I read some articles from Mindy (???) It was only much later that I had the privilege of meeting you, several times.

Now you know so much more than timeshare.:whoopie:
 
Here's to 2002! :whoopie:
A little late coming to this - thank you for all you did in the past and your continued contributions.
