Happy New Year. :)
I Wish you a great holiday and a good year!

:D
Emmi
[this is good]

I second the wishes to Sir Betz - he will change the world and then he can make mischeif with his chemistry set ;)

Being bad means that quiet women don't make history (Roughly quoted - and with the exception of Caroline Kennedy...with any luck LOL)

Happy New Year!!

Lilia

Awww...thanks, sweetie! It's what I hope for, too! :)

May you have a prosperous year full of best seller lists, more than you can handle book launch requests, many Voxer meetups (*ahem*), and lots and lots of family time.

((((((((hugs)))))))))))

You continue to amaze me! How thoughtful to take the time to write out such an extensive list of well wishes! I hope your year is blessed beyond measure. There is a verse that promises that as we give it will be given back to us: pressed down, shaken together and running over. If that is true, and I believe it is, then 2009 will indeed be a spectacular year for you!

God Bless!

Emjay
Best wishes Patricia. Hopefully you have many more books in you! :-)
Kzinti
[this is good]
Quite the list. I have a hope for everyone to find their moments of peace in the turmoil of the world and cling to them tenaciously. Enjoy every bit of savory flavor that life has to offer.
Tired Working Mom
A very happy new year to you also! You are such a wonderful perso to think of us all!

roboter
Patricia,thanks for the excellent idea for Ted. You must have a little esp because im in the early stages of getting parts for another robot but I don't have a good idea on what type to build yet. For you to mention all of your most humble followers blows me away. I have a feeling this year for you will be a great one and I wish you all the best.

Thanks Lilia, and thanks for stopping by!
Patricia Volonakis Davis

moments of peace in the turmoil of the world and cling to them tenaciously

Absolutely a great point, K. Thanks for stopping by!

Patricia Volonakis Davis
Hope that you really enjoy the new baby this year, TWM! (They grow so fast, don't they?)
Patricia Volonakis Davis
Re: Elves---Thanks, Beaner! They can't decide if they are annoyed at me or think it's funny, too! Have a great year!
Patricia Volonakis Davis
It will get placed! I'm sure of it, so I will hold you to that promise,friend! ; )
Patricia Volonakis Davis
Thank you, too, Abie. (I'm working on that!)
Patricia Volonakis Davis

Patricia Volonakis Davis
Great to have you back, Michelle! (I have more to say, but I will send it in a PM)
Emmi
[this is good]
Ah! Sorry for the obscure reference. There was an editorial in the Boston Globe saying that Caroline Kennedy was (roughly quoted) too mousy and private to be a Senator. (The writer rightfully caught heck for his statement) And yes, Steve Betz would make a great boss!!
Patricia Volonakis Davis
I thought it was something like that. She'll get it, though, mousy or otherwise, because she is Caroline Kennedy...
Vicola
Blimey, that must have taken you some time to write, a wee personal message for all those people! Happy new year to you too, I hope the book promotion is going well. I've just passed my copy on to my best friend and my mum is getting bought a copy for her birthday in February. I'm doing my bit to help publicity in England!! I hope 2009 bring many happy times for you and your family, you deserve them.
Patricia Volonakis Davis

Thanks for the good wishes, Vic, and right back at you! You know it's one thing for a friend to read my book and say she likes it, but when she actually inflicts it on other people, now that's truly a gesture! Thanks a bunch, dear!

Snowwhite
[das ist gut]
Thanks for your good wishes, Patricia! Sometimes, your posts have made my day, so I am looking forward to an interesting and communicative new year.

Greetings from Germany and all the best to you and your family!

Snowwhite.
Patricia Volonakis Davis
Thank you Snowwhite, and thank you for stopping by. Germany is a beautiful country. I had the opprotunity to visit many years ago, and I hope to come back again someday. The people there were very friendly and helpful, too...

Patricia Volonakis Davis
Thanks for the good wishes. I would have loved to write about every neighbour , prairie. But,it would have been way too long a post. It has been a joy to be on VOX , and my neighbourhood is GREAT!

Marie
Thank you Patricia..that means alot!
petermcc
Almost everything Dr Pat.

Missing a job but have an interview today at 2 pm. I'm regarding that as another positive.
Patricia Volonakis Davis
Hello , there! I've been trying to get in touch with you on your email address and things keep bouncing back to me. Do you know of any problems?
Butterfly Baby
How incredibly sweet! Thank you for the good wishes!
R.G. Ryan
Thank-you, my friend, but having a spot in your heart is sufficient for me. :-)

Hugs.

Patricia Volonakis Davis
Well, you have that already. ; )
Patricia Volonakis Davis

My pleasure. I've been following your blog. It could be such a wonderful thing to present to your son someday. Maybe you should print out or download some of it to a CD? I think he might get a lot out of it to learn of your feelings when he was so small...

Empress Nasi Goreng
[this is good]
Oh I missed this. thanks for the individual wishes for me. I am honoured to be grouped with my fellow monarch Queen of Fractal Beauty too!
Patricia Volonakis Davis
Of course, Empress. It's good for the masses when individual monarchys can be in alliance! ; )
saraH
Thanks for your kind comment on my blog! :)
And thanks for your wish for my dad! I will join you in wishing he makes the NY Times Best Seller List!!
Patricia Volonakis Davis
Thank you, saraH. My husband and I met your parents this week at the infamous Satrbuck's in Green Valley, and it was a real pleasure for both of us.
saraH
That's what my mom said! That's so cool you were able to meet!
Libertine
Happy New Year. Better late than never.
paikea
ah!!! - yup - EXACTLY what i need - and i may actually get a new laptop when we're in the states in May :) - thank you!
paikea
p.s. yes, as my entire LIFE depends on having a good, solid and hopefully fast internet connection - from your keyboard out to the universe!!
Patricia Volonakis Davis
The same to you. I'll look forward to reading more of your posts in 2009.
Patricia Volonakis Davis
As I know exactly what you mean, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
G
[this is good]

AWWWW....I am only now catching up on blogs and you mentioned me by name...AND wished me a spaceship!! Well my dear first officer, I think you get to fire my Zap gun just for that. Now, down girl, I mean the Zap gun, not some other "gun" (that one doesn't go ZZZZZAAAPPP and shoot out bright red blaster bolts - stop laughing now, filthy mind I tell you, filthy!).

My warmest wishes to you for 2009 and say hello to your cool cool hubby. Of COURSE he can talk about spider-man. And Cyclops. I'm sure he knows Cyclops is cool too.

Kisses and hugs to you.

Patricia Volonakis Davis
Really???!! I'm first officer? And, I get to fire zap gun, a real one? This is too much. I'm putting this on my Facebook page...Just watch me.
G

Oh I do watch you Patricia, but only with a healthy sex drive, nothing stalkerish. Besides your hubby is a Martian too so we can only flirt harmlessly.

You're on facebook too...I may have to find you and friendship request you...though I am lazy about FB. Very lazy, so don't hold it against me if it takes months.

Paxton
[this is good]
