imagine Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 There are a few guys here that have posted to lots of guys within a short time. Nominate the folk that was nice to you over the last year. The winner will get a three week holiday in a Five star hotel in the Virgin islands. All payable by them. Alternatively we can get Tony to put a silver star after their name. Kicking off: I rate LisaUK for Sympathy and Nobmagnet for original posts...
TaraMaiden Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 In no particular order.... GrayClouds Anne1707 Wuggle Kasan GorillaTheater Meaplus Island Girl They're my really good friends on line, and I owe them my gratitude for their support, kindness, affection and companionship. In dark times, these have been torch-bearers for me. They will never know what effect their friendship has had on my life. I salute them, and owe them a debt of gratitude, which I fear will never be payable, so big is it..... Tony can do as he sees fit with this thread. It doesn't alter the facts. And I'd like to think that in the spirit of Kinship, love for fellow man, and the preciousness of finding good friends, he will allow it to remain. I think if someone is worth so much to us, it's worth stating, and worth telling them so.

Thought: While I disagree with Lizzie60 she also invests in other folks feelings. My hat off to her for that...
curiousnycgirl Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) My nominations - TBF - she's always been for me over the years StarGazer - she tells it like it is LucreziaBorgia - for her courage and her ability to give advice compassionately Ariadne - for her simple no nonsense approach to everything! and her unwavering support GrayClouds - a newwer friend but, wow he cuts to the heart, and is probably dead on correct TaraMaiden - really opened my eyes and has gotten me thinking Anne1707 - well you really left me battered and bruised, but it's all good Island Girl - what's to say - I only wish I could handle life's trials with as much grace And so many others - I can always count on your guys to be here and to share. We've never met, and probably never will be you all have such a significant impact on my life I cannot begin to put it into words. Please let me just say thanks.

Citizen Erased Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) Would be a shame if Tony closed this. Firstly, Lyssa. The most kindhearted person I have had the pleasure of knowing and I miss her so much. Pyro...enough said. Everyone that helped me out when I went through my breakup at the start of 09, so many people were responding to my thread, sending me PM's, it was a big help. Especially Johan and SS. Both of which have been very dear to me for years. Melodymatters, she amazes me with how strong and sweet she still is, despite all she went through last year. I don't think there is anyone on here I admire more. Edited January 1, 2010 by Citizen Erased
Author imagine Posted January 1, 2010 Author Posted January 1, 2010 Don't feel shy to PM these folk directly. This is a public Thank You -it should not replace the private ones.
TaraMaiden Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 I would consider it disgraceful behaviour on my part, if these people did not know how I felt about them. I hope I have left them in no doubt, but if I have, the fault is mine.
Kasan Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 I would consider it disgraceful behaviour on my part, if these people did not know how I felt about them. I hope I have left them in no doubt, but if I have, the fault is mine. Such a wonderful premise for a thread! I am quite humbled TM. The written word is a powerful tool and you use your tool in a no nonsense approach with compassion and love. I appreciate and gain so much from your posts challenging others, to see their situations through different eyes. Please know that you are one of my favorite posters. I want to nominate my cyber sister Marlena, whose steadfast friendship for the past two years has helped me navigate through some very difficult days. I would be totally lost without her. Last but not least I would like to nominate Goldpile who has given me more laughs with his ridiculous writings about his adventures in the dating world. :) I really admire his imagination and creativity writing these.
Island Girl Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 This is a wonderful thread idea. My list would include: TaraMaiden StarGazer TBF sb129 Northstar1 quankanne Moai Amerikajun carhill Although it is really difficult to narrow it down. Also SoulSearch_CO...2sunny...Gunny376...oh geez and anyone else I am forgetting right now. This is a wonderful little corner of the web with really kind hearted, well intentioned, and so often brilliant people. I am very lucky to have access to your ideas and thoughts. You all teach me things all the time.
Author imagine Posted January 1, 2010 Author Posted January 1, 2010 Thank you that you are identifying the characteristic that makes your posting buddy special. It helps us understand more of that person!
Ariadne Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 I nominate Touche as being the soul of this forum. What a shame she is gone! What a woman to have around and listen to. What a miss.
marlena Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) I want to nominate my cyber sister Marlena, whose steadfast friendship for the past two years has helped me navigate through some very difficult days. I would be totally lost without her. No, it is the other way around. Through my darkest days, Kasan has been a beacon of light for me. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. She has been there for me every step of the way, daily, through every challenge I have had to face. People like her are very hard to find and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have her. Thank you, my cyber sister. I am eternally grateful. So, needless to say, I nominate Kasan. Also Soulsearcher for her kindness and tender heart. Mea for her sweetness and caring personality. RP whom I think of as my Balkan sister. Lizzie for telling it as it is. Lishy for her fun-loving and genuine personality. Swansong for his friendship and inspiring intelligence. Thaddeus for caring enough to stay in touch with me. I miss his posts as much I do Swan's. And lastly Lyssa who though much younger than me gave me so much love and support for which I will always be grateful. I miss her so. There are others. I'll add as I go along. Oh, and an old poster, Rio, who took out the time to help step by step in my healing process over three years ago when I came to LS, an emotional wreck. There are others,too, but these are at the top of the list. Edited January 1, 2010 by marlena
threebyfate Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 My nominations - TBF - she's always been for me over the years TBF Both of you ladies are on my list, as well as a number of others! ((hugs)) to all the good people on LS and a Happy New Year!
Meaplus3 Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 WWIU James M Lizzie60 Marlena Taramaiden Gopher Freestyle D-Lish Thank you. You have all made me laugh like crazy at one time or another.. and shown so much support. Mea:)
Author imagine Posted January 2, 2010 Author Posted January 2, 2010 Oh, and why is this in the infidelity forum? I put this on the infidelity forum because these guys needed the most support! Have you noticed that mostly ladies respond? Don't men know how to say thank you?
D-Lish Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Oh- People that have affected me in the last year in a good way... Mea! (Just because it's easy with her) Art (he probably doesn't even know he had an impact but it was major) Jilly (Helped me get the hairy monkey off my back and only she will know what that means) Melody (for compatibility) TBF (for providing inspiration) JerBear (for always being a reliable friend) Teacher's Pet (for making me laugh) Johan (for just "getting" it) Woggle (it's hard to explain, but I quite like him) Island Girl (for keeping it together) Nora Jane (for giving me a reality check 4 years ago) CE (for being there after midnight) There are more- but it's like an acceptance speech when you step off the stage realizing you have forgotten to mention someone important!
jerbear Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I have so many to name and even those that have left LS. LS had been helpful to me in many ways.
freestyle Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I'm still a newbie here, but there's a handful of posters who've inspired my admiration......... Meaplus............genuine sweetness and compassion and fun! Carhill..............gets to the core of an issue while maintaining humor Island Girl.........highly evolved insight, also gets to the heart of an issue Taramaiden.......ditto 2Sure.....ditto Lucrezia Borgia.....ditto Donnamaybe.......can be very profound with one sentence James M........for reciting Foghorn Leghorn (very impressive!) (and writing thoughtful posts when needed) Stampdaddy.......for providing much needed humour(and reciting beloved movie passages) TBF......embodying the very spirit of healthy debate(and starting some interesting threads) Owl.....in case you're still lurking about, I tip my hat to you...... looking4greengrass........thanks for listening, hope you found your meadow Deux ex Machina...........humour despite adversity, and great banter I'm sure there are some I've neglected to mention............there's soooo many awesome, and compassionate, souls here. Even the , let's say...... difficult people for providing balance.......sometimes the tension they create can give me a deeper insight into myself.(all a matter of perspective) May the New Year bring us all greater wisdom, love, and happiness.
