Thanks to **Kytheria** for calling me a sweetheart. :o Thanks to **Eve** for being here. Whenever she posts in a thread I started I feel like I’ve been touched by a celebrity. ---

**Shirley Ujest and Rue DeDay** , for making me laugh. **NoClueBoy** for all the great Trek memories and a bunch of other weirdness. **Aesiron** for the ENT and other things. **PunditLisa** for her insights. **Cervaise** for his reviews and in-depth analyses. **Mr. Blue Sky** for starting so many cool threads. The other teachers and education folks around here: **Manatee, pseudotriton ruber ruber, celestina, silenus, Yamirskoonir** , and yes, I feel bad about forgetting some names right now, but I swear I’m thinking about them too. ---

I’m thankful for all the regular posters, too many to name. You know, the popular kids who type all the time. Quite entertaining. I learn towards the funny ones, not a big fan of serious ones or those who argue. The one member I’d like to say a personal “thank you” to is **LouisB**. He loves his Darling Marcie so much, it gives me hope that someday, someone will love me the way he loves her. ---

I’m thankful for most posters here, but I’m especially fond of a few. **Idle Thoughts,** naturally, for so many interesting topics, and lately, letting me see the man behind such topics, and for _not_ sounding like my ex, after all 😃 **Anastasaeon,** for being so darn cute and funny **TheOnlySaneOne,** for making me feel like a dirty old woman **Sampiro,** for hilarious yet cringeworthy family stories **Anaamika,** for also being darn cute and funny, and my offical permanent girl-crush \*\*Roland Orzabal, \*\* for being damn fine, making me think, and making me laugh ---

**Ladyfoxfyre** and **Shibb0leth** for taking me places and making me feel not lonely when I was down in Florida. **Eonwe** cause he’s from Vermont, too. **Qadgop** , for good, sound, medical _knowledge_, but never advice. Oh, and **Hal Briston** for letting us all know how good sex with other mammels can be. 😛 ---

Sometimes somebody posts a really funny one-liner in a thread, but it’s so good that there’s no way to follow it up, so nobody quotes it and the conversation moves on to other things. It seems like a waste of bandwidth to quote it and say something trite like “ROTF and spitting up on my keyboard”–in fact, I hate when people do that. So the remark hangs in the ether and sometimes I think the poster thinks that, because nobody responded, nobody thought it was funny, when in fact just the opposite was the case. So my Thanksgiving is for all the Dopers who post really funny one-offs that never get acknowledged! ---
