**Whynot** is much too young to be my mother. 🙂 I am very grateful to her for sharing her knowledge on this board. Good nurses are a treasure. ---

If \*she[/\*I] were to lock down one of my left field threads I would be assured it really _was_ too bizarre for public use. WOAH! Woah woah woah. Hang on, here. Going through labor another 6,876 times\* is one thing…but if you’re proposing I become a mod…HELLS NO! I may be crazy, but I’m not crazy! 😃 I’m far too opinionated to become a mod. And I swear too much. I’m trying to work on the later, but I have no intention of changing the former. \*active posters only; I’ll abort the others, but I think reincarnation is a neat idea, so if a cool old Doper comes back, it’s all good ---

I like **WhyNot**. Another favorite for similar reasons is **pulykamell**. Strange that two of the most pleasant people on the board would be Chicagoans. ---

I will jump in and say **WhyNot** has been one of those posters whose writings are ones I read knowing I’m not about to get dumbstruck. Also if I remember correctly (and I am not good at keeping up with everyone’s life stories here) I believe she has done well for herself in the education and life development departments recently, so for that alone I find the world a little better place (and by extension the Dope) and I’m always glad to see her writings. ---

> [@interface2x](#): > > I’ve been in the same room as them - at the same time! They’re cool. ‘Dear Penthouse Forums…’ 😛 I’m terrible with names, so it’s not often that I keep track of who says what, but I’ll have to keep an eye out for this one. Well done, bravo, and all those platitudes! _golf clap_ ---

> [@interface2x](#): > > I’ve been in the same room as them - at the same time! They’re cool. I was there too! 🆒 Even if I’d never met either, I’m sure they would still be SDMB standouts in my mind. I enjoy both of their posts and am glad to see them getting some much-deserved recognition. ---

> [@WhyNot](#): > > _pounce_ > > **Millit**!!! I haven’t seen you in forever - on the board or off! Miss you lots! How’s things? Miss you too! I’m an occasional lurker now, as I’ve been way too tired/busy for much posting. Let’s see…I live in Michigan now, have a little girl who is almost 2, and work as a CCU RN. I love being a mom, and critical care is quite awesome, but Michigan is still trying to grow on me. My heart aches for Chicago, but I’m nearer to family now, and life is a lot more affordable here. I’m sure we’ll be visiting The City as the little gal gets a bit older. I’ve missed a lot of news, I’m sure–are you an RN yet? If so, have you found a job? I’m curious to see where your nursing career takes you! Best of luck to you–your patients are fortunate indeed. 🙂 ---
