Love you all…no.

Like most of you…yes.

Care about 80% of you…very much.

Respect the snot out of the overwhelming majority of you… **Hell, yes!**

And I can work up a good case of lust for some of you, as well. :eek:

Sparring. Lots and lots of full-contact sparring.

Followed afterwards by huge hot-fudge brownie sundaes, Double-Stuf oreos, and BBQ flavored potato chips. Becuase ninjas can eat whatever they want, y’know. We’re mystical that way.

While the idea that the SDMB is an extended family makes me more than a little dubious, I admit that I care deeply for a handful of people here and consider many more to be as good a friend as anyone I’ve met offline. The feeling of community here is pretty powerful and not to be denied.

Heh. Yes, in fact, I did. It’s gloriously sunny (as always) right now in Santa Fe, got up to the high 50’s today, and I knew this morning I was going to pick up my bike from the bike shop this afternoon.

Life is good.

I love you all too, and it’s probably not just the 1/2 bottle of German Cabinett Reisling I imbied earlier talking 😃 What a wonderful group of people.

Yes, I too love this board and the strange conglomeration of minds that makes up its membership.

Also, in 3000-some-odd posts, this is the first time I’ve ever been told that I rock. Well, no one said that directly, of course, but I’ll take what I can get.

You’re still doing that? Cool! 😃  
I wouldn’t say I love all of you.  
LIKE the majority of you, sure.  
Have respect for a slimmer majority than that.  
Care for / about you? Sure.

It’s Miller Lite, and I love ya man…

I think one of the greatest things about SDMB is the fact you learn how to deal with people. There is something called tact, and wit, and diplomacy…takes awhile to learn for some, and comes naturally to others.

I truly believe this board has helped me become probably the most well-liked person in my office…I can put up with the assholes as well as make contact with the shy wallflowers. They all seem to think I am the only one who truly understands them. I just talk to them as if a Mod were sitting on my shoulder saying, “now…tread carefully here…”

Today, one of the major bigwigs asked me for help with his brand-new, laptop computer. He couldn’t get the CD disk I just burned for him to work. After some investigation, I politely told him to put the disk face up in the disk drive…he knew he was an idiot, but he appreciated the fact that I stated this simple fact as if it was simply a technical problem…instead of what I probably would have said a few years ago before I learned diplomacy goes a long way.

(DMark cracks open another Miller)

But I love you guys too…even though I didn’t make a lot of friends during the re-election of the regime.

You can get lust in cases now? I can only find it in bottles.

OH good. I seriously needed love. I’m drinking wine on a gastric bypass and no one here wnats to touch me. So love is much needed.

Yes, I’m freaky. But I still need love in whatever form I can get it.

Thanks!
