**lurker** Thanks, I needed that. I am feeling very mopey today, and not just because I’m PMSing. ☹ And if you’re ever back in ChiTown, I’ll give you a real hug. I don’t do {{{}}}, but if I did they’d go to: magdalene - you know why. Thanks. MikeG - hope things are better soon Spider Woman and Hamadryad for posting very nice things in a feeling-rotten-thread of mine CNoteChris - because he hates these threads ColdyClogs - because, among other things, his posts in the JDT threads made me laugh uncontrollably And a bunch of other people just because Scotti Crunchy dropzone blastfurnace techchick Anthracite Valerieblaise tiggeril everyone at ChiDope (you know who you are) everyone at the next ChiDope (whoever you are) everyone I’m forgetting. Sorry, it would just take too long. 🙂 ---

So many Dopers, so little time: Please assume {{{ }}} to be around everyone’s names, I don’t want to have to type all those things over and over again. **evilbeth** - thanks for being there when I had trouble **purplebear** - same as above for my favorite poster who I think I once saw on a Grateful Dead album cover **yojimbo** - don’t take this hug the wrong way - I’m not gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that) but thanks for your supportive emails **tatertot** - I should hug you more often **Silver Fire** - my favorite poster who doesn’t realize she’s one of my favorite posters **Nymysys** - just trying to cop a feel, even though you _did_ forget me originally here 😛 **TubaDiva** - again thanks for the emails. Sorry if I seem a little over-excited when I hug you, but I just finished hugging Nymysys and well, _you know_. **porcupine** - still my favorite sick bastard (that _was_ you I said that to, right? **little\*bit** - my virtual wife. So when are we gonna consumate this marriage? **Tally-Ho** - my virtual stripper-mistress. So when are we gonna consumate this affair? **Satan & Drain Bead** - stay strong you two and of course **Shayna** - you’ve been my best friend since I got here. I’ll be back when I realize who I forgot. ---

**Crunchy** , yes, I’m pretty sure that was me. When I suggested the mysterious thing in the wedding photo was a speculum. Alas, JDT has replaced you in my sig. ---

Dammit! I knew I’d leave someone out: **tiggeril** - for having parents. I understand. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by porcupine \* > \*\ ***Crunchy** , yes, I’m pretty sure that was me. When I suggested the mysterious thing in the wedding photo was a speculum. Alas, JDT has replaced you in my sig. \*\* Yep, that was you for the speculum thing. It pains me to hear I’ve been replaced, but when the line comes from a genius like JDT, how can I complain? I don’t expect to ever be able to compete with that. At least I hope not anyway. ---

Awwww, **Crunchy** , you’re too sweet. Did I tell you that you have the same name as my dad and brother? Guys named Ron are always cuddly, even Ronald Reagan, hate his politics as I may. BTW, check your board mail. 😉 ---

**(((((everyone here))))))** for making me laugh those times I’ve really needed it. And a special one to my friend **((((((shannon)))))))** for being there the other day when I needed it. You didn’t know how much I did, cause I’m not so good at telling you, but I love you sweetcakes. You’re the best. _sniff_ One of these days, I’ll get you addicted to these boards, and you’ll actually register. 😛 ---
