Title: Thank you BitcoinTalk Community! Proof that you are all AWESOME! Post by: DobZombie on September 12, 2014, 04:14:52 PM G'day everyone!
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for helping me and my new Wife when shit hit the fan a couple of months back. Here are the thread links... I've been hacked, and now I'm screwed (Can anyone help with a loan?) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=659146.msg7415464#msg7415464) Got hacked, need 14BTC, will offer TheBitcoinMuseum and contents as collateral. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=659785.msg7426920#msg7426920) I got hacked, MUSEUM HAS BEEN SAVED! THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR KINDNESS!!! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=665252.0) I would like to tell everyone that everything worked out fantastic! With the Wedding, the Honeymoon and meeting my Bone Marrow Recipient Mike. The wedding was a ball. Nothing extravagant and done on a budget. Here are some pictures... (Can any of you see what pen we used to sign our marriage certificate?) https://i.imgur.com/PAIqfaWl.jpg (http://imgur.com/PAIqfaW)https://i.imgur.com/tspyTnrl.jpg (http://imgur.com/tspyTnr)https://i.imgur.com/geO63Oyl.jpg (http://imgur.com/geO63Oy) https://i.imgur.com/bQe9cP7l.jpg (http://imgur.com/bQe9cP7)https://i.imgur.com/e17uymPl.jpg (http://imgur.com/e17uymP)https://i.imgur.com/ZcxrtO3l.jpg (http://imgur.com/ZcxrtO3) https://i.imgur.com/RJOPvD5l.jpg (http://imgur.com/RJOPvD5)https://i.imgur.com/t5zgKSUl.jpg (http://imgur.com/t5zgKSU)https://i.imgur.com/QASn3Djl.jpg (http://imgur.com/QASn3Dj) Then it was off to the United States! The first thing I see off the plane is a man I donated bone marrow (Stem Cells) to a few years ago. His name is Mike Ohler and he had leukaemia in 2007. I knew I was going to be meeting him whilst on the honeymoon, but my new Wife had organised for him to surprise me at LAX airport. I was so completely stunned when I met him. He shed quite a few tears and so did I. We saw a few sights and then we Met up with him and his family at their place. The meeting was covered by CBS Los Angeles. https://i.imgur.com/EnPvEG3.jpg Click here to see the CBS News Story and Interview (http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2014/07/26/moorpark-man-meets-the-man-who-saved-his-life-with-bone-marrow-from-half-world-away/) I need you guys to know that I knew about this interview WEEKS before the Wedding and the actual meeting itself. I had been SHITTING MYSELF over the fact I was going to be a news story watched my MILLIONS, more than the actual wedding itself! :D It was an emotional meeting. So many tears were shed, and so many hugs were received. I met his family, and many of his friends from the "Knights of Columbus" He does so much volunteer work! Here are a few pictures of Mike and his family. I gotta say that if ANYONE in the world was worth saving, it was Mike. Such a great family! https://i.imgur.com/7qGdgi9l.jpg (http://imgur.com/7qGdgi9)https://i.imgur.com/LehRRnnl.jpg (http://imgur.com/LehRRnn)https://i.imgur.com/BJnl7BWl.jpg (http://imgur.com/BJnl7BW) https://i.imgur.com/1GoPybCl.jpg (http://imgur.com/1GoPybC)https://i.imgur.com/y2Ixpncl.jpg (http://imgur.com/y2Ixpnc)https://i.imgur.com/aGzEP93l.jpg (http://imgur.com/aGzEP93)https://i.imgur.com/PFoFGBtl.jpg (http://imgur.com/PFoFGBt) My Local Newspapers covered the story too after seeing the CBS report on my Wife facebook feed. https://i.imgur.com/g8DANGul.jpg (http://imgur.com/g8DANGu)https://i.imgur.com/vNF7Q6Tl.jpg (http://imgur.com/vNF7Q6T) https://i.imgur.com/m8sID5Vl.jpg (http://imgur.com/m8sID5V)https://i.imgur.com/cMW2AXel.jpg (http://imgur.com/cMW2AXe) After spending a weekend with Mike and his family we went to Disneyland, Universal Studios and other various sites around LA. https://i.imgur.com/dbV8S46l.jpg (http://imgur.com/dbV8S46)https://i.imgur.com/Tkui4kfl.jpg (http://imgur.com/Tkui4kf)https://i.imgur.com/oDbrKWGl.jpg (http://imgur.com/oDbrKWG)https://i.imgur.com/P1ddIK5l.jpg (http://imgur.com/P1ddIK5)https://i.imgur.com/1By8DPkl.jpg (http://imgur.com/1By8DPk)https://i.imgur.com/aO97geQl.jpg (http://imgur.com/aO97geQ)https://i.imgur.com/7yz0PdTl.jpg (http://imgur.com/7yz0PdT) https://i.imgur.com/onyiJd8.jpg (http://imgur.com/onyiJd8) https://i.imgur.com/vUOWazT.jpg (http://imgur.com/vUOWazT) https://i.imgur.com/HPhXWGTl.jpg (http://imgur.com/HPhXWGT)https://i.imgur.com/Z6780p2l.jpg (http://imgur.com/Z6780p2)https://i.imgur.com/KdXIC1il.jpg (http://imgur.com/KdXIC1i)https://i.imgur.com/zkp7wK6l.jpg (http://imgur.com/zkp7wK6) https://i.imgur.com/YHsqZZdl.jpg (http://imgur.com/YHsqZZd)https://i.imgur.com/MOlmM0fl.jpg (http://imgur.com/MOlmM0f)https://i.imgur.com/OWsDikbl.jpg (http://imgur.com/OWsDikb)https://i.imgur.com/qQJATT5l.jpg (http://imgur.com/qQJATT5)https://i.imgur.com/vh7Vr70l.jpg (http://imgur.com/vh7Vr70)https://i.imgur.com/URqfw7Al.jpg (http://imgur.com/URqfw7A)https://i.imgur.com/1Aio7aTl.jpg (http://imgur.com/1Aio7aT) https://i.imgur.com/X4WvRM7l.jpg (http://imgur.com/X4WvRM7)https://i.imgur.com/mhnVLrhl.jpg (http://imgur.com/mhnVLrh)https://i.imgur.com/liPokCll.jpg (http://imgur.com/liPokCl)https://i.imgur.com/D10DgkFl.jpg (http://imgur.com/D10DgkF) https://i.imgur.com/HWRk6iAl.jpg (http://imgur.com/HWRk6iA)https://i.imgur.com/MBBZcNAl.jpg (http://imgur.com/MBBZcNA)https://i.imgur.com/Lt2JMIHl.jpg (http://imgur.com/Lt2JMIH)https://i.imgur.com/UFYkykYl.jpg (http://imgur.com/UFYkykY) Then we went to vegas to watch Penn & Teller, and goto a Star Trek convention. I got to meet SO MANY of my favourite stars! https://i.imgur.com/gdFyszel.jpg (http://imgur.com/gdFysze)https://i.imgur.com/wkwlQIXl.jpg (http://imgur.com/wkwlQIX)https://i.imgur.com/q8PRQqll.jpg (http://imgur.com/q8PRQql)https://i.imgur.com/qCAmccYl.jpg (http://imgur.com/qCAmccY) https://i.imgur.com/fSLw7kRl.jpg (http://imgur.com/fSLw7kR)https://i.imgur.com/oYGoijtl.jpg (http://imgur.com/oYGoijt)https://i.imgur.com/SgAvCcll.jpg (http://imgur.com/SgAvCcl)https://i.imgur.com/MvMN6pAl.jpg (http://imgur.com/MvMN6pA) https://i.imgur.com/wnuU25Tl.jpg (http://imgur.com/wnuU25T)https://i.imgur.com/CE3MbPCl.jpg (http://imgur.com/CE3MbPC)https://i.imgur.com/qmuQTKWl.jpg (http://imgur.com/qmuQTKW)https://i.imgur.com/uc1hm59l.jpg (http://imgur.com/uc1hm59) https://i.imgur.com/rmEm9QWl.jpg (http://imgur.com/rmEm9QW)https://i.imgur.com/lLVWSgKl.jpg (http://imgur.com/lLVWSgK)https://i.imgur.com/AEWvqBfl.jpg (http://imgur.com/AEWvqBf)https://i.imgur.com/4kCYRVFl.jpg (http://imgur.com/4kCYRVF) Noella was chatting with this chick in the toilet at the Star Trek Convention. When they walked out we walked and talked with her about this and that. After she left, Noella asked "who was that?" I nearly slapped her, cuz it was Marina Sirtis! She is one funny chick. It would be interesting to party with her I recon :) https://i.imgur.com/507DYWLl.jpg (http://imgur.com/507DYWL) One a side note Richard Kiel was there. Sadly he passed away a few days ago https://i.imgur.com/5hqPUjJl.jpg (http://imgur.com/5hqPUjJ) RIP Richard Kiel (http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-29152398) Met Penn & Teller https://i.imgur.com/fgRhbpcl.jpg (http://imgur.com/fgRhbpc)https://i.imgur.com/B68p4Ycl.jpg (http://imgur.com/B68p4Yc)https://i.imgur.com/xfk8BOSl.jpg (http://imgur.com/xfk8BOS) Went to a few Vegas places. https://i.imgur.com/4nlguEK.jpg (http://imgur.com/4nlguEK) https://i.imgur.com/DWcuyhLl.jpg (http://imgur.com/DWcuyhL)https://i.imgur.com/y9ZdBOTl.jpg (http://imgur.com/y9ZdBOT)https://i.imgur.com/ORAUEqOl.jpg (http://imgur.com/ORAUEqO) https://i.imgur.com/05NqVl1l.jpg (http://imgur.com/05NqVl1) Finally before we left the USA, we met up with my best man and his GF. We Spent Noella's 38th Birthday at Medievil Times. https://i.imgur.com/O6IP8phl.jpg This is my Cable Guy impression. (http://imgur.com/O6IP8ph) https://i.imgur.com/oTxEHqwl.jpg (http://imgur.com/oTxEHqw)https://i.imgur.com/ZxL4LKVl.jpg (http://imgur.com/ZxL4LKV)https://i.imgur.com/ZE55DeJl.jpg (http://imgur.com/ZE55DeJ) https://i.imgur.com/Cfip7kS.jpg (http://imgur.com/Cfip7kS) https://i.imgur.com/GaRjdNH.jpg (http://imgur.com/GaRjdNH) ...and then back to reality. We arrived back home early August. I've been back nearly a month and I've been SO busy working off the Honeymoon and Wedding. I have a few IOUs to take care of (These people are my saviors!) I've jumped on here not to show off, but to thank each and everyone of you who showed support when I lost my savings. I will be in contact with the lenders shortly to begin paying back. I also owe a few people replies to PMs. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about you! I still have 155 unread e-mails to take care of. This is why I don't take holidays, too much work to do when I get back! :P It was an amazing adventure, and I hope you guys realise that the bitcoin community isn't all just scammers. There are MANY MANY FANTASTIC people here too! Thank you Bitcoin Community, from the bottom of our hearts. NONE of this would have been possible without you!

Title: Re: Thank you BitcoinTalk Community! Proof that you are all AWESOME! Post by: noellajean on September 13, 2014, 01:34:15 PM most of you don't know me, those who followed the original threads do know me, I'm now Mrs DobZombie (I checked, I can't change my username)
I wasn't able to thank this community enough for the help and support they gave us, the little gift I sent to each of those that helped was definitely not enough so I did ask the husband to share some photos with you all to see what you helped us with. After the year and a half that we had leading up to the time that DobZombie made his original post was hell for both of us, the hack topped it all off. so thank you very much to each and every member of this community who helped us out and showed massive support, you've helped us get happy again and be in the right place for a happy future - you have no idea how much this meant to me that you did help and I will never be able to thank you enough Title: Re: Thank you BitcoinTalk Community! Proof that you are all AWESOME! Post by: eternalgloom on September 19, 2014, 10:18:09 AM Congrats, I wish you both a wonderful life together and I'm super happy that I had the opportunity to help you out a bit in a time of need.
It really looks like you guys had an amazing wedding! Title: Re: Thank you BitcoinTalk Community! Proof that you are all AWESOME! Post by: nwfella on September 20, 2014, 03:01:09 AM I can't even begin to describe how awesome it is to see this thread. You two make a hella cute albeit kinda wild looking couple and the pictures from your wedding look like it was one helluva cool event. I was particularly touched by what Noella did with having that fella Mike waiting at the airport. I had a sneaking suspicion you where a good egg and donating bone marrow certainly qualifies in my book.
All the best to the two if you and many thanks for sharing your story and pictures. Some of my faith actually restored in humanity as a whole once again :) Title: Re: Thank you BitcoinTalk Community!

Such a great family! https://i.imgur.com/7qGdgi9l.jpg (http://imgur.com/7qGdgi9)https://i.imgur.com/LehRRnnl.jpg (http://imgur.com/LehRRnn)https://i.imgur.com/BJnl7BWl.jpg (http://imgur.com/BJnl7BW) https://i.imgur.com/1GoPybCl.jpg (http://imgur.com/1GoPybC)https://i.imgur.com/y2Ixpncl.jpg (http://imgur.com/y2Ixpnc)https://i.imgur.com/aGzEP93l.jpg (http://imgur.com/aGzEP93)https://i.imgur.com/PFoFGBtl.jpg (http://imgur.com/PFoFGBt) My Local Newspapers covered the story too after seeing the CBS report on my Wife facebook feed. https://i.imgur.com/g8DANGul.jpg (http://imgur.com/g8DANGu)https://i.imgur.com/vNF7Q6Tl.jpg (http://imgur.com/vNF7Q6T) https://i.imgur.com/m8sID5Vl.jpg (http://imgur.com/m8sID5V)https://i.imgur.com/cMW2AXel.jpg (http://imgur.com/cMW2AXe) After spending a weekend with Mike and his family we went to Disneyland, Universal Studios and other various sites around LA. https://i.imgur.com/dbV8S46l.jpg (http://imgur.com/dbV8S46)https://i.imgur.com/Tkui4kfl.jpg (http://imgur.com/Tkui4kf)https://i.imgur.com/oDbrKWGl.jpg (http://imgur.com/oDbrKWG)https://i.imgur.com/P1ddIK5l.jpg (http://imgur.com/P1ddIK5)https://i.imgur.com/1By8DPkl.jpg (http://imgur.com/1By8DPk)https://i.imgur.com/aO97geQl.jpg (http://imgur.com/aO97geQ)https://i.imgur.com/7yz0PdTl.jpg (http://imgur.com/7yz0PdT) https://i.imgur.com/onyiJd8.jpg (http://imgur.com/onyiJd8) https://i.imgur.com/vUOWazT.jpg (http://imgur.com/vUOWazT) https://i.imgur.com/HPhXWGTl.jpg (http://imgur.com/HPhXWGT)https://i.imgur.com/Z6780p2l.jpg (http://imgur.com/Z6780p2)https://i.imgur.com/KdXIC1il.jpg (http://imgur.com/KdXIC1i)https://i.imgur.com/zkp7wK6l.jpg (http://imgur.com/zkp7wK6) https://i.imgur.com/YHsqZZdl.jpg (http://imgur.com/YHsqZZd)https://i.imgur.com/MOlmM0fl.jpg (http://imgur.com/MOlmM0f)https://i.imgur.com/OWsDikbl.jpg (http://imgur.com/OWsDikb)https://i.imgur.com/qQJATT5l.jpg (http://imgur.com/qQJATT5)https://i.imgur.com/vh7Vr70l.jpg (http://imgur.com/vh7Vr70)https://i.imgur.com/URqfw7Al.jpg (http://imgur.com/URqfw7A)https://i.imgur.com/1Aio7aTl.jpg (http://imgur.com/1Aio7aT) https://i.imgur.com/X4WvRM7l.jpg (http://imgur.com/X4WvRM7)https://i.imgur.com/mhnVLrhl.jpg (http://imgur.com/mhnVLrh)https://i.imgur.com/liPokCll.jpg (http://imgur.com/liPokCl)https://i.imgur.com/D10DgkFl.jpg (http://imgur.com/D10DgkF) https://i.imgur.com/HWRk6iAl.jpg (http://imgur.com/HWRk6iA)https://i.imgur.com/MBBZcNAl.jpg (http://imgur.com/MBBZcNA)https://i.imgur.com/Lt2JMIHl.jpg (http://imgur.com/Lt2JMIH)https://i.imgur.com/UFYkykYl.jpg (http://imgur.com/UFYkykY) Then we went to vegas to watch Penn & Teller, and goto a Star Trek convention.

When they walked out we walked and talked with her about this and that. After she left, Noella asked "who was that?" I nearly slapped her, cuz it was Marina Sirtis! She is one funny chick. It would be interesting to party with her I recon :) https://i.imgur.com/507DYWLl.jpg (http://imgur.com/507DYWL) One a side note Richard Kiel was there. Sadly he passed away a few days ago https://i.imgur.com/5hqPUjJl.jpg (http://imgur.com/5hqPUjJ) RIP Richard Kiel (http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-29152398) Met Penn & Teller https://i.imgur.com/fgRhbpcl.jpg (http://imgur.com/fgRhbpc)https://i.imgur.com/B68p4Ycl.jpg (http://imgur.com/B68p4Yc)https://i.imgur.com/xfk8BOSl.jpg (http://imgur.com/xfk8BOS) Went to a few Vegas places. https://i.imgur.com/4nlguEK.jpg (http://imgur.com/4nlguEK) https://i.imgur.com/DWcuyhLl.jpg (http://imgur.com/DWcuyhL)https://i.imgur.com/y9ZdBOTl.jpg (http://imgur.com/y9ZdBOT)https://i.imgur.com/ORAUEqOl.jpg (http://imgur.com/ORAUEqO) https://i.imgur.com/05NqVl1l.jpg (http://imgur.com/05NqVl1) Finally before we left the USA, we met up with my best man and his GF. We Spent Noella's 38th Birthday at Medievil Times. https://i.imgur.com/O6IP8phl.jpg This is my Cable Guy impression.

We arrived back home early August. I've been back nearly a month and I've been SO busy working off the Honeymoon and Wedding. I have a few IOUs to take care of (These people are my saviors!) I've jumped on here not to show off, but to thank each and everyone of you who showed support when I lost my savings. I will be in contact with the lenders shortly to begin paying back. I also owe a few people replies to PMs. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about you! I still have 155 unread e-mails to take care of. This is why I don't take holidays, too much work to do when I get back! :P It was an amazing adventure, and I hope you guys realise that the bitcoin community isn't all just scammers. There are MANY MANY FANTASTIC people here too! Thank you Bitcoin Community, from the bottom of our hearts. NONE of this would have been possible without you! Dob, This was very awesome to see. Thank you for sharing. Also very generous of you to share with a stranger what you did. Super cool man! Hope all is well! Smoothie Title: Re: Thank you BitcoinTalk Community!

Post by: QuestionAuthority on December 29, 2014, 04:01:12 PM Wow, what a great story. I've read your posts before and always suspected you were a real person because your responses were never phony but I never would have guessed that you were an amazingly awesome person. Bravo for being a stellar citizen of the world and congrats on the wedding!
