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.
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…).
Here’s a shout-out to my peep, Homebrew for having the best taste in both toasters and pinkish men.
And a loving, happy, ABC After School Specialish acknowledgment to auntie em for being blinded just enough by love to get a beer belly (without the beer–which means it just ain’t no fun) mixed up with a six-pack.
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.
Well, I wasn’t too lazy to look in the margin to the left of your post, so I notice that you and I registered the same month. How’s that for a coincidence?
As for posting more: “Brevity is the soul of wit.” Or perhaps it’s “Levity is a bowl of s___”, I forget which. I’m remaining laconic until I figure this out.
P.S. garius, you wouldn’t happen to be playing Monkey Island, by any chance?
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.
