Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
21

{{{oldscratch}}}
As he says, if you don’t know why, then you probably don’t wanna. I’m trading that in for a real one in 6 more days!

{{{zyzzyva}}}
My best friend for the past 8 years. He deserves a bazillion more for bearing with me for that long. It’s been a great trip, my friend.

{{{Silver Fire}}}
Cuz she’s one of the strongest kids I know, and I admire her for it, even though she doesn’t think she’s brave.

{{{Doobieous}}}
El Doob! Girly hugs! You listen to me ramble about my favorite subject and don’t go “eew!” And you make languages. I envy your creativity and knowledge.

{{{Demo}}}
The first Doper to acknowledge me. And to take the time to translate my Sanskrit sig and act interested.

{{{Una/Anthracite}}}
For empathizing, and remembering facts about me.

{{{Euty}}}
Cuz I miss “the other Rhode Islander”, and cuz he needs one now.

{{{JoeyHemlock}}}
Cuz even though you’re a Chicagoan and lick me in chat, you make me laugh. And STOP IT with the “such and such would make a good band name!” :wink:

I’m sure I forgot someone… {{{general hugs to the SDMB at large}}} for brightening up my day.

22

OH… MY… GOD!

How could I forget?

Nymysys gets huge hugs… {{{Nymysys}}} cuz she rocks and is mad cool and is more fun and entertaining than anyone I know IRL. And right now she could use a hug I think.

So Nym, again, here’s to you {{{Nymysys}}}. I’m sure oldscratch seconds that.

23

{{{{{SDMB}}}}}

Even the resident jerks. What can I say? I’m in a giving sort of mood. :slight_smile:

24

{{{Rasa and Scratchie and Morph}}} because somehow we became the Fearsome Foursome and we’ll all be in Cali together some day.

{{{zyzz}}} because any friend of Rasa’s is okay by me. Plus, I admire a man of few words. :smiley:

{{{dpr}}} because you drive me crazy. That’s good, in a bad way. Or bad in a good way. Something.

{{{Demo}}} my twin. And {{{psy}}} by default. :slight_smile:

{{{Doob and Sea and Omni and Android and Andygirl and all the others I’m forgetting}}} for making chat a fun place to be. I actually downloaded IRC again just to talk to you guys.

You guys sure know how to make a newbie feel welcome.

25

While I’m not big on the cyber-hugs thing (just another stodgy old fart), I did want to step in and say a few words of appreciation for all of you at the Straight Dope boards.

The sense of community and dedication to enlightened thought encountered here is refreshing, to say the least. So, please allow me to express my gratitude to all of you on this day of Thanksgiving.

Chris
[sub]PS: Will all of you email Euty with this thread’s ID so he can see that he has not been forgotten.[/sub]

26

Oooops! And I forgot {{{Froggy and FDWTFUN}}} for being my firsts. Getting old, y’know. I forget things.

27

{{{{{Sue & Boy-O}}}}} for getting through today. I’m glad things are looking up for you two. You are so lucky to have each other. Sniff, I’m weeping & it’s corny but so true.

33

{{Hugs to the whole board}}

This is my second thanksgiving posting at the boards. I enjoy “listening” to everyone. I say listening because thats what it really seems like… like i’m just sitting back listening to a bunch of different conversations.

34

MMmmmmmm… hugs!!!

In no particualr order…

{{{ Kels }}}

{{{ Odie }}} gotta return your hug, and you know why :wink:

{{{ Frankie }}} miss ya buddy!

{{{{{{{hypergirl}}}}}}} You’re one of my better friends and you deserve a medal [or a cookie] for putting up with the stuff your mother pulls. I love you Jess.
{{{{{{{DigitalMuse}}}}}}} Lauren, you don’t realize how much we all care about you, and that we wouldn’t trade you for anything in the world.
{{{{{{{Pure Phreak}}}}}}} You don’t have to be the protector all the time. We can defend ourselves if we want to.
{{{{{{{WeyrdChic}}}}}}} I’m sorry for all the times I’ve TMIed you and Lindsay and Kalen. Now if only Kalen would stop petting my jackets…
{{{{{{{Zero Hero}}}}}}} We love you and care aout you enough to want the best for you. I know living with your parents sucks, but keep pushing until you’re out of there. It won’t be long.
{{{{{{{Iampunha}}}}}}} You are a good thing for me to have when I’m losing confidence in things. Thank you to my personal cheerleader. [Now if only I could get you to wear that damned skirt and break out the poms…]
{{{{{{{dpr}}}}}}} I feel I can always be honest with you. Thanks.
{{{{{{{satan}}}}}}}
{{{{{{{silo}}}}}}}
{{{{{{{silverfire}}}}}}}

{{{Anth}}} My fav lesbian car chick!

{{{Whammo}}} Did I ever tell you I’m gay? :wink:

{{{All other KC Dopers}}} Even if you won’t meet with me

{{{Falc}}} Who needs a reason to hug Falc!?

{{{Silver Fire}}} I just felt you up.

And I know I’m forgetting a bajillion of you.

–Tim

Thanks for the giggle, Tim. :slight_smile:

[big, long (maybe), sappy speech] I’m not going to hug just one of you. I’m not going to try to name off all the dopers that mean a lot to me, who’ve helped me get through a lot sinced I joined. I’m not going to single anyone* (or two, or three, etc.) out, because I know I’d forget someone really important. So I’ll just say you know who you are. And thanks. [/big, long (well, not really), sappy speech]

*Except {{{{{Hamadryad}}}}} ::snicker::
