Aww… **flyboy88**. Thanks. 🙂 I second, third, whatever **Verrain, Falcon, TP, Euty, dan,** and **Scotti**. I haven’t interacted with the ladies much (except **TP** , of course), but I see how they are on the boards. **Verrain** I know outside the boards and he is an absolutely wonderful man and **dan** and **Euty** I know are sweethearts. Okay. Enough of this sweetness. I’m in danger of a diabetic coma over here. 😉 ---

_blush_ Thank you, **Medea’s Child**. I just entered this thread and I truly did not expect to be nominated by anyone. I’m now wide awake…but that’s a good thing. 🙂 Girls: the kind, considerate, **Scotti** (such a wonderful, caring darling), **AudreyK** (nice to everybody, and she _is_ sweeter IRL), **Falcon** (always seems very nice and friendly), and **Trouble Again**. Guys: **Euty** (a very cool guy, and always seems very nice)…hmm, I’m drawing a blank, otherwise. I know there are quite a few other guys that strike me as always being very nice, but for the life of me I can’t remember names, right now. Though, considering I got the year wrong on a form the other day, that’s not surprising (ah, the end of the semester; a time for burning out). ---

It’s not as if your kind sentiments have fallen on deaf ears, **True Pisces**! You know how it is. Sometimes you wonder if people feel obligated to say something nice about you out of deference to your feelings! Which is why I wanted to recuse myself! But I know you’re honest and true - as are all of the other nice ladies who complimented me in this thread. So thankya. Good Girls: **True Pisces Persephone Falcon Medea’s Child Arden Ranger jarbabyj Tequila Mockingbird SexyWriter** But it’s early in the day, and I still have much coffee to consume. I might come up with more later while coherent. ---

Actually, if I may elucidate… Aside from the flirting and all the funnery that goes with it, each of the ladies I mentioned above has always had a kind word for me either in email or in IMs. I may not be so open or revealing when it comes to my own real-life problems, but rest assured that when talking to the above ladies, my heart is gladder, lighter, and freer. 😃 PS: Plus, I’d do em all in a heartbeat. Don’t think that’s reciprocated, though! ---

Nice is such an anemic word. Even sweet seems a little understated. But it’s hard to find a single word to describe people that you feel privileged to have met, that you want living next door so you can drop in for a heartfelt talk whenever you feel like it, that you know the world would be a better place if there were more people like them. This describes about 90% of the people here. 🙂 But if I have to pick: rjk (well, duh 😉 ) Balance (and not because he picked me, either. BTW, thanks!)
