Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Sue. Yes, I am elated to be a millionaire! I have been around Funtrivia almost since the beginning - about 6 1/2 years, but haven't made it to the forum much. Maybe now that the pressure it off, I will be able to spend more time here. But, gee, now the pressure is on for the 2 million mark! I see that some folks are making a serious run for it. Thank you for all the fun!

Good heavens, Verbonica is an old hand here!

I remember a long time ago, another member and I tried to match our performance with you. Or we'd look and see if Verbonica scored a high score on that. Whenever we'd make a quiz, we'd see if you scored the highest on it!

You were our point of reference!

Since then, I've realized that you and I are both from the same area (I'm even closer now I believe).

Congratulations and it couldn't have gone to anyone more gracious and kind.

Heather

Wow, Heather, you are making me blush! Thank you for your lovely compliments. I did a couple of your wonderful quizzes in my final push for glory this morning - wanted to enjoy the sprint by choosing really fun ones - so thank you for helping me get there.
Yes, we are nearly neighbors now - welcome back to the Golden State! My two youngest children attend Sac. State, so I'll bet you have stood in traffic with them.
Thanks again, Heather

Veronica

Welcome Verbonica! It's great to see you in the Forums.

Yours was the first name I noticed in games and on the scoreboards, when I registered with this site. I always looked up to you (not that I will ever get that far).
Congratulations for the million and I am really happy to see your name in here too.

Thank you, denni! (more blushing). I remember meeting you one time a while back in "Last One Standing," where you were so good. I haven't been there in quite a while, though. So nice to see you here.

You are very welcome, Verbonica. It is great to be able to speak to the great quiz scorer at last. Well done, I have trailed behind you in Class 0 many a time. Welcome indeed!

... and I have been your caboose often too, Ren. I hope you get the bonus today; I won't be pushing so hard now for a short time. As I said, 2 million is calling! Am I a dreamer, or what?

Thanks for the welcome,

Veronica
