I Admire Your . . .

cherandbuster · Post by **cherandbuster** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 5:08 am

Hello My Friends:-4

Are there special qualities and characteristics among your friends here in the Garden that you truly admire and enjoy on a regular basis?

Well, now is the time to tell them so!

I'll start:

I admire Anastrophe's eloquence. As I've previously noted, I have a word crush on him for his excellent use of language in expressing his thoughts.

I admire Nomad's wit and unfailing humor. He may be twisted;) , but his goodness shines through every single funny post he makes.

I admire Chonsi's kindness. She may be one of the most selfless and loving human beings I've had the pleasure to know.

I admire Baby Rider's tenacity. She's got balls, courage and lots of softness inside. It's been joyous to peel away the layers and find the prize underneath.

Who's next? Make yourself and someone else feel good today!:-6

Babyrider has balls

*scribbling furiously* This might throw a wrench in my "cuddles analysis"

Everyone here has a role, we all play a part in the fabric that makes up FG. Each one of us are vital and integral in this web. When one leaves, something is amiss. Its noticed, and when there are new arrivals it makes an impact. Its ever changing and evolving and thats the beauty of it, kind of a microcosm of life itself. Everyone here has touched me in one way or another (sneezer get your hand off my thigh) We're all "special" :rolleyes: in our own ways.

So many give so much.

I started a couple of times, but I want to give this the attention it deserves.

The people here are so diverse and even the ones that 'get up my nose' have a place..... they add interest.

Some have a special place in my heart.

My goodness .... there are folks here that I feel priviledged to know even though we are in cyberland so to speak....and some that I have ACTUALLY met which is incredible.

We have toughness, integrity, humour, humanity, gut wrenching heartache etc...it's all here at FG and I can't name names right now because I would be sure to leave someone out that is incredibly deserving of a mention.

Everyone is special in the own unique way. :-4

A day without NOMAD and SNEEZER'S sense of humor is a boring day for me...:-4

I admire Nomad's dancing ability.

I admire your zest for life and love of fun.

Bez, and Chonsi,

I admire your intelligence and ability to remain civil, even cordial, in the face of passion, anger, or downright rudeness.

Accountable · Post by **Accountable** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 8:09 am

Theia, I admire your ability for introspection. Your mirror is clearer than most, and far more accurate than my own, I'm sure.

Accountable · Post by **Accountable** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 8:11 am

Flop,

Nobody can cut through the bullshit like you can. While the rest of us let preconceptions and emotion bump us off the path we think we're traveling, you rise above the fray to get a truer picture and express the truth as no one else can.

cherandbuster · Post by **cherandbuster** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 8:16 am

:-4 Acc, you are awesome :-4

An honest, open, expressive man

Such a pleasure having you in my life, I must say

Accountable · Post by **Accountable** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 8:18 am

Nomad, Arnold, Clancy, OpenMind, JB,

Anyone who comes here and reads only a little while can see that true men, men such as you, can display humor and loyalty, vulnerability and passion, empathy and steadfastness, all in one package. I am honored to claim you as my friends.

Accountable · Post by **Accountable** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 8:21 am

Snooze,

You're my M&M. :-6

Your shell is sweet yet hard, and any crack heals up pretty quickly. It takes work to get beyond it, but doing so revealed a kindness and generosity I honestly didn't expect.

I can't wait to meet you.

Accountable · Post by **Accountable** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 8:31 am

Chris, Sunny, Sheryl, Minks, all the Pinks ...

(my goodness this list is long, and includes many I have mentioned and will mention in other posts here. Please, if you feel you fit in it, you are doubtless right; so please accept my apologies for not mentioning you specifically.)

ForumGarden could not survive without you. You are the consistency that keeps the flareups from burning the whole place down. You are the levity that refuses to let politics, religion, and philosophy overwhelm. You are the flowers. :yh_flower

You are the reason many join here. I'm convinced you are the reason for everyone who stays. Too much serious is not good for you.

cherandbuster · Post by **cherandbuster** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 8:35 am

Acc

what a lovely human being you are:-6

Accountable · Post by **Accountable** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 8:37 am

Spot, Six, AdamZapple, Lulu, gmc, Scrat, Diuretic,

You make me angry. You make me lose control. You make me think.

I have become more mature, more defined in my beliefs, and stronger, because of your own passion, stances, and eloquence.

Thank you.

Accountable · Post by **Accountable** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 9:00 am

MominIowa, NV and BR,

I am who I am because of the influence of strong women in my life. You ladies blow me away.

For different reasons and circumstances, you have been bowled over with challenges mere mortals would just flee, hiding under some rock until help came to make it all better. But you met the challenges! Rocked back on your heels? Sure. Battered and brused? Of course. Beaten? No way in hell!

I applaud you. I admire you. But most of all, I want you on my side.

Sheryl · Post by **Sheryl** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 9:01 am

Ok here goes, I'll apologize now if I left anyone out.

Accountable-your intelligent but not demeaning to others(like me) who way below. I admire that.

Snooze my fellow perv well that's all I can say there.

Sunny fellow Texan, perv, and hilarious all in one. Can't go wrong there.

JB- love your photos, your sense of humour, your kindness.

Nomad- wacky but intelligent.

Cher and Marie-- both of you are women I think could be great friends with in person.

Theia and Bez-- I love your wisdom and calming peace. Hope to someday be at stage like this in my life.

Chronsi--sweet, intelligent, kind, positive, oh the list could go on forever.

BabyRider--even through all the diversity you are still funny. You stick by your values with no questioning. Very admirable in my eyes. Oh and your wicked sense of humour. A++++

Uncle Kram, Clancy, AronldLane--men I find very admirable for both their humour and knowledge on music.

Spot, Scrat, and the other debators-- While some of your posts go way over my head, it's nice to read a serious debate.

I'm sure I'm missing folks here, but I'll remeber later and post it then. The garden is not the garden if we didn't have our wild mixture of folks.

minks · Post by **minks** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 10:38 am

I admire admin for keeping this place on a good level despite the ups and downs.

buttercup · Post by **buttercup** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 2:05 pm

it takes time to get to know a person & ive only been here a year, in that time ive seen many threads here at the garden that have made me see people in various lights, those that i admire know who they are :-6

chrisb84uk · Post by **chrisb84uk** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 3:37 am

Thanks a lot for the nice words AC!

I think that everyone in here has brought something that has caused FG to develop over time into the great place it is now. We have such a varied and mixtured bunch of people from all around the world, of all ages and beliefs. We all agree on some subjects and disagree on others, but that is what makes us all unique and makes FG so special, and a real privelege to be a part of. I've made so many good friends on here, and despite all the high and low points that a lot of us have had either in here or in real life, we have all come out strong, and having such supportive friends here helps that so much.

So a HUGE thank you to you all, for making FG such a wonderful place, and continue to make the Garden a success for years to come.

Wow . . . Clance and Snooze

Are you truly best friends?

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 8:03 pm

Snooze Clancy is a gentlemen your both lucky to be such great friends.. :-4

[QUOTE]Yeah, I think he is my best friend. We've been online friends for several years now, and we've told each other many things that RL friends probably would never admit. He's a great guy, very kind and patient, and I consider myself fortunate to know him, even in this limited capacity.[/QUOTE]

Young Chris is thoughtful, and kind.

Acc is articulate and intelligent but sensitive with it and always ready to give

Nomad both inspires and amuses, and he's a really genuine person

I'm in awe of Spot's wit and intelligence and sense of fairness

I'll carry on tomorrow as the sleeper is about to take effect!!
