You know, I’ve posted a lot about love lately, and I think that love is a great thing. I love Jesus Christ, and I’ll make no secret of it.

I wanted to start a thread devoted to the love of your fellow man, or woman. MPSIMS seemed like the place.

So, who do you love?

I’ll start(This list is not exhaustive by any means, and I’ll add more as they come to me):

I love my wife, known to the SDMB as **XJETGIRLX**.  
My mother, Esther. My father, Richard(aka “Big Dick”. No BS, really)  
My brothers: Greg, Doug, Rick, Nathan, and my one and only big sister, Shelly. The infallible Cecil Adams, love you unca Cec’.  
My dopefiends:  
**Polycarp** , whose name I will one day horribly misspell. 😉  
**Zenster** , voice of reason.  
**elucidator** , follower(stalker?) of great men and women.  
**lel** , the _cute_ one. 😃  
**vanilla** , bottle blonde babe 😉 (Shhh, it’s a secret!)  
**MrVisible** , for being so, well, _visible_.  
**gobear** , for loving all mankind 😛  
**Diogenes** , for keeping me straight.  
**december** , just cuz.  
**Eve** , for being classy and sassy.  
**His4Ever** , for never giving up.  
**McDuff** , for being nearly as reasonable as **Zenster**  
**Zev** , for putting up with my Christian ignorance.  
**RTFirefly** and **Mangetout** , for having my back on occasion, and pushing me back when I needed it.  
**Tertius01** , for reading the Word, and not choosing 03 😉  
**Ben** , for knowing every cell of the body.  
**GOM** , for being right about a few things, and never being afraid to say it. 😉  
**cjhoworth** and **tomndebb** for just being who you are. It’s not easy when you’re you.  
**CanvasShoes** for your sensitivity.  
**Esprix** , I just love you man. I don’t even know why, 'cept you’re neat.  
**Bippy the Beardless** , I love you 'cause you’ve got annoying questions, interesting answers and a share of the logic.  
**TVAA** , for being the nicest person without a soul I know 😉  
**raisinbread** , purple, it makes sense when you think about it.  
**brian melendez** for making me re-read your username three times 😃

**David B** , **Gaudere** , and **MEBuckner** , for keeping GD from going to the Pits. The lovely **Lynn Bodini** ( 😉 ), and the handsome and charming **Alphagene** and **John Corrado** for keeping us from becoming homicidal when we _are_ in the Pits.

I’m going to cut it off there for now, but I wanted you guys to know I love you, and you’ve all touched me in a special way. Anyone else want to share some love?

I love my parents and my brothers.

I love my grandfather, and my grandmother and great aunt, who have passed on.

I love my friends Binky, Shannon, Deb, Kris, Laurie, Laurel, Sam, Michelle, Lorraine and Amy.

I love **Miller** because he makes me laugh. He’s the reason I came here.

I love **hammerbach** for giving me a kind SDMB welcome.

I love **Q.E.D.** for being polite, helpful, and all-around decent.

I love **Eve** for having class and style.

I love **Zappo** because he is loved so much here.

I love **Guinistasia** for having guts.

I love **Polycarp** for making me proud to be a Christian.

I love **Lynn** for being a Mod with a sense of humor.

And I love **CrunchyFrog** for being a nice guy from St. Louis, and for wanting to see me naked. 😉

And despite my sig, my love is neither musty nor hurtful nor bad.

C’mon, **av8rmike** , it’s not about popularity, it’s about _love_. I know you love somebody!

Mother, father, sister, brother?

I even love **Joe\_Cool** and **Jersey Diamond** , so you know it’s not a popularity contest 😉

Where you at **Joe** and **Jersey**? C’mon in and flex your love muscle!

**Rubystreak** , **iampunha** , **cadolphin** , **jarbabyj** , **tracer** , **Spiritus Mundi** , **alice** , **The Mermaid**.

**Eutychus** , everybody on this board loves somebody. _Everybody_’s going to get a shout.

BTW, **Eutychus** , I _think_ I love you, but I wanna know for _sure_. . .

It’s a love-in, man. Everybody’s in tonight. HEY! ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE! Somebody in this thread’s gonna give _you_ some love. I’m not even done with _my_ list yet. It feels good to love people 😛

Ok, I’ll be honest, we can’t possibly have a love-in for all 33,000 members all at once. The boards would crash, and this would be the most popular thread ever. That’s probably not going to happen.  
Oh, my grandfather Robert, and my grandma Amelia, and yes, aunt Ellen too.  
Seriously though, **Eutychus** , who do you love, man? It really isn’t just an SDMB thing anyway. It’s literally for everybody. Everybody who loves somebody.  
I’d like to say that I didn’t start this thread really to include people in someone’s love list from the SDMB, but for people to say who else they love. This is for all the mothers. brothers, friends, girls they left behind.  
And let’s be honest, if you’re not in the room giving somebody some love, _you’re not in the room_, know what I mean?  
Oh, and he’s a lier, a cheat, and a dirty rotten drunk but I love my uncle Bob.  
It’s about _showing_ love, not getting love. If you show some love, you’ll get a lot more of it back.
