Member of the Month Nomination: Bighuey
It is my distinct honor and pleasure to inform everyone that Bighuey has been selected as Member Of The Month for December. Bighuey is a grandfather who hails from Mexico and has been a member of the Book and Reading Discussion Forums since 2011. "Huey" is a prolific poster with currently over 20,000 posts to his credit.
Though Bighuey’s contributions to the website can be found liberally disbursed throughout the forums I think it would be appropriate to consider Bighuey the unofficial Poster Laureate of the Community & Off Topic Forum where over the years he has regaled us with stories ranging from his discovery of a scorpion in Idaho to pontifications on economics - "I’m working on my second million. I gave up on the first million." *L*
Bighuey’s gentle wit, philosophical insights, and informed contributions to the discussion of literature (and the arts in general) has, over the years, enlivened and enriched the collective dialogue of this website.
So with this in mind please join me in congratulating Bighuey on his well-deserved selection as Member Of The Month!
Hip - Hip - HUEYRAAAAAAAY !

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Well, sheeesh ... I didn't want to be a big blabber mouth *LOL* Also, YOU forgot to mention Bighuey's wonderful discussions regarding FOOD (one of my own personal favorite subjects). He has included many tidbits about his favorite foods and recipes. Also, I remember the time he told us that he read a book while leaning his back against a tombstone in a cemetery. Now THAT'S a dedicated reader !
I just sent Huey a PM to inform him of his new exalted status as MOTM.
When I was selected I didn't know for a week !!!! <--- TAKE THAT!
