Ah, I am so touched I inspired this! :o Okay **Polycarp** is the prime example of what a Christian SHOULD be, and it’s people like him and other Dopers here who keep me from giving up. **Lamia** , who has good taste in fashion, and likes vintage clothing. **mrblue92** , for driving me back and forth to the first Pittsburgh Dope fest and not complaining about my nervous rambling, as annoying as it most likely was. **Crunchy Frog** , is so damn sexy and the mood jacket! **Lynn** and **Tuba** always willing to help me and other Dopers out around here. **jerry** , our tech God, deserves mad props for keeping the hamsters at their best. **Lissla** , **Octavia** and **Mademoiselle** , my partners in crime. **cjhoworth** , who is always kind and considerate. Oh, but that **iampunha** guy is a :wally ---

I thank the two who mentioned little old me. I’m so mean lately I thought I’d scared everyone off. There are many I could mention, but I’m only going to do one. **Aenea** is a very strong woman who has won out, and continues to win out, over adversity. She has a great attitude, drive, and has been a great friend, although distance and time separate us. Despite her illness, her trials of work, separation, a new child, and everything, she still sounds cheerful, positive, and happy on the phone when we talk. She also has given me excellent advice and guidance for many things that have been difficult for me. I’m really hoping that I will get to spend some face-time with her again soon, when I return to the East coast in a few weeks (maybe…). ---

**Michael Ellis** pulled me out of a burning building and gave me a kidney. Granted, he set the fire and both of my kidneys are just fine, but it’s the thought that counts. ---

I’d just like to say that I think **Libertarian** is a great source of wisdom and advice. He’s interesting and generally spot on in regards to religion/philosophy. ---

This is going to sound back-handed, but it isn’t: **Eve** knows what she doesn’t know and asks for help understanding it. She has almost single-handedly changed my opinion of Yankees in general and New Yorkers in particular. ---

_iampunha, TwistofFate and True Pisces_\* have been around and there for me when I needed them. Through the crap times (a lot self induced) and now through the good times. Always supportive and rarely judgmental even when they had the right to be. I loves you all. 😃 **Tir Tunviel** makes me smile, both with her amazing spirit and making a dear friend of mine very happy. **Crunchy Frog** and **kwyjibo** make me giggle, but **jarbabyj** cracks me up. I wish I could be as sweet as **Scotticher**. ---

I feel morally obligated to mention mostly Dopers with whom I often disagree, just I can be sure I am not only liking those who agree with me. **elucidator** - the poster I love to hate and hate to love. **tomndebb** - for best performance in a starring role as the thoughtful liberal in “Darn That Clinton - Part CLMVXXIII” **Diogenes the Cynic** - for flabbergasting me with a classy Pit post. **Stoid** - because she can get a thread going at will. **Esprix** - for allowing me to make fun of his scorpion and his nipples. **Cervaise** - for the best Pit rant on “The Telemarketer Speaks - I Respond”. **wring** - well researched and tightly argued, even when you are wrong, dammit! **Mr.Visible** - for demonstrating that love is much the same no matter what side you play for. And pretty much all the rest of you! Since I am trying to limit this, I cannot mention my admiration for **december** and his grace under fire, **Sam Stone** , **Scylla** , **Dewey Cheatham und Howe** , **Anthracite** for a hard-nosed dedication to “Just the facts, ma’am”, and the rest with whom I often agree and who I generally admire. And **Polycarp** and **Guinastasia** on general principles. Regards, Shodan ---

Something about **Shirley Ujest** ’s appearance in a thread just makes me feel nice. Like getting a hug from mom. **JohnBckWLD** deserves some sort of award for his massive top 6@6 project…which I still hope and pray for the return of someday.
