Our pal Scotti is going though an amazingly shitty point right now. She’s my best friend here, and I suspect that a lot of you can say that, too. Let’s tell her how much we love her!
{{{{{Scotti}}}}}
Scotti,
Sorry to hear you’re feeling down. I know when I was moping about my potential back surgery a couple of months ago, you were one of the first to offer some kind words, even though we’d never really interacted much. I hope you’re feeling better soon. 
{{Scotti}} You’re always nice to me on the chat channel. I hope you feel better soon
Aww Scotti, I’m sorry to hear things aren’t going well for you. I really enjoyed meeting you last month and am looking forward to seeing you again tonight. Is there anything that can be done to help?
Anyone who wants a hug conveyed to Scotti in person, say so by 4 p.m. PST today and I’ll gladly take care of that for ya.
Now, I don’t want to admit the fact that I’ve followed Scotti around this board. I don’t want to admit that I print out all of her posts and commit them to memory. And I certainly don’t want to point out that I’m secretly in love with Scotticher.
Without having to say all that, I do want to say, I love ya babe.
Scotti, I had no idea. I still have no idea as to what’s going on, but it’s really sad to know that things aren’t well. I want to thank you again, with all my heart, for helping me through this thing with my mom. And, to return the favor, I offer you my email address and sincerely hope that you use it. All my best.

If you could for me, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks.
…heyyy, I remember you…you snuck tiggeril and dpr into my post party and spiked the chowder…
Scotti,
Every post I believe I have ever read of yours was one of compassion and support…you have always had a kind thought or good word to others here who have been hurting or confused or frustrated. Seems to me one of the wonderful things about these boards is that there are people out there in the world that I have never met who can have a positive effect on my life.
You, with your heart as big as all outdoors, are one of them. Thank you so much for your grace and hope.
We are all focusing good things your way.
all my best,
Scott
Scotti, you are by far one of the sweetest, most compassionate people I know. I always smile when I read your posts, and I do a little dance of joy when I see that you’ve responded to something I’ve said. Knowing you – even if it is, unfortunately, in a sort of peripheral way – makes me feel good about myself and about the world in general. If you’re in need of anything, I’m only an e-mail away. I hope things get better soon… To borrow from Ernest Hemingway, “The world breaks everyone, then some become strong at the broken places.” You’re already one of the strong ones, and I know you’ll be stronger after whatever troubles you’re having right now end… Promise me you’ll remember how amazing you are, OK? Because otherwise, I’ll have to send you harassing e-mail to remind you. 
Scotti!
Oh, sweetheart! I hope you know that you are one of the dearest, most wonderful people that any of us will ever have the great pleasure of knowing. You make our lives better with your empathy and obvious love.
You have touched so many of us…anything we can do to help we are here for you.
warm hugs and a cup of tea
JayLa, if you could hug her for me too, I’d appreciate it.
Scotti, I’m sorry things are bad for you right now, sweetie, I wish you all the best.
{{{{Scotti}}}}
Scotti,
You don’t know me, but I feel like I know you, and I think you are one of the genuinely nicest people on the boards.
I hope everything works out for you soon, and if you don’t mind, I’d like to ask JayLa to give you another hug for me.
(He’s gonna be a busy boy!)
All the best.
{{{Scotti}}}
Accept the good vibes and happy thoughts I’m sending your way! I’d add some chocolate to the mix, but I haven’t mastered the psychic transmission of goodies yet!
{Scotti} Thank you for cheering me up in chat. I want you to know that I’m always glad to see you there.
Take Care

Scotti! Noooooooo!
I’m sorry you’re not feeling good. Truly, you are one of the people I consider to be true, no questioins about it friends on this board. And not just to me, but to everyone.
And you can’t be sad! We need you to help produce season 2 of the SDMB Sitcom! Oh, and one for old times sake…
<hits self in face with a pie>
Feel better, Scotti. We’re all pulling for ya.
Buck up, little cowgirl. 
You should just be all a-glow with all this positive energy. Do me a favor–amidst all this feel-good talk–don’t forget that you deserve every word of it.
Take care of you.

I don’t even know what to say.
Thank you for all of the kind words and hugs and now I would like to ask for your prayers, as well.
A childhood friend of mine has four children. The youngest one crawled into my heart the day he was born, curled up there, and has never left.
He hung himself on Wednesday. He was nine years old.
I can’t even begin to talk about this, but I wanted to ask for your prayers for his family.
And I wanted to tell you how very much it means to me that you are all here for me. You are the best, and I will never, ever forget your kindness.
And Mike, thank you. Thank you for caring, and for helping me to understand at least a little, and for starting this thread.
I’ve started crying again, but this time it feels…I don’t know, maybe less hopeless.
Oh my God. Scotti, I’m sorry. I honestly don’t know what to say. My prayers are with you, and your friend’s family.
I can’t pretend to know how you feel, but if you want to talk, my address is Mojo530@aol.com

You have, of all the people I’ve ever known, the kindest, warmest, most open heart. I rarely, if ever pray, but my prayers are with you and and your friend’s family. I’d also like to take this chance to thank you for being a Scottimom to anyone who needed some mommying.

Hello Cheri.
Thank you for always being so nice to me even though i am a jerk a lot. I think you were one of the first people to ever respond to one of my posts. Yes, your blood is truly sweet.
Many hugs…I’m very, very sorry and i don’t have anything profound to say…
so I just want you to know I’m thinking of you.
