Random acts of ml kindness

[Saint Monica]

I (heart) ML

[Bernadine]

Definitely all of the support in general that I've received during my divorce. It's been so amazing.

Specifically, laptop for inviting me up to her house and having a little Philly gtg not long after I left xh. It was so nice to get out of my parents' house for a bit and I appreciate that she did that.

@bettyhomewrecker33 and daisyheadmaizie have both been so awesome and kind to let me whine/vent about my work and health frustrations repeatedly. it really helps to have somebody to listen (other than my H), such a simple thing to do but it really does matter.

[nahoku]

I feel all warm and fuzzy reading these. Strong work, ML. ::sniffle::

That's so sweet!

I have to say, the love I've gotten lately from lilafowler, vicky, annyong and tators couldn't have come at a better time. They have the biggest hearts and even when I haven't been forthcoming about needing support, they gave it to me. LOVE!

Awwww!  I "heart" you!

[murdock]

Even as a not-often-poster, just seeing many of you talk about this kind of stuff gives me, and hopefully others, good feelings.

It's great to see how much good is out there. : )

[lilafowler]

All of you have been so supportive and cheering me on with my whole weight loss surgery journey-and it really DOES mean a lot to me to know I have you guys rooting for me.

<3 <3 <3

I also have to give Lucy Honeychurch a lot of credit.  I was on a Nest sabbatical when I was pregnant but she patiently "listened" to all of my MANY emails and texts about my pregnancy-and she was always so supportive when she could have been rolling her eyes because she had been there, done that.  Maybe she WAS rolling her eyes (lol) but she never let me know.  And she still puts up with me harassing her so there's that.

I also met such a great group of folks at the GTG-you guys don't know how nervous I was and you all made me feel welcome.  You also put up with me when I started caning folks-THANK YOU!

CBWM, MWOS and Jermys took me wedding dress shopping. That was pretty damn awesome of them :-)

Last spring when I was really depressed and had stopped posting for the most part because I was too down, poppy found a lone post I had done on my BMB and paged me to see how I was doing, how the pregnancy was coming along, and to say she missed me.

It really made a positive impact on me. I had spent most of my pregnancy sick, and feeling guilty as hell about not enjoying what ought to have been a really exciting time. That she could inject excitement and enthusiasm for my baby when I couldn't was something I was, and still am, grateful for.

[MWOS]

Holy shit, where to even begin?

Chesh and Luvvy, for being the people I can call crying from the hospital parking garage

Jermys, for driving to my parents house on Dec 26th and dragging my hungover ass out for pie

cbwm for being patient with me and taking a beautiful headshot that I will use well into my 50s.

sprky for being my on-call lawyer

jalapeno and nursecramer for teaching me chemistry

and every single person who responded in my threads last week. I can't begin to explain what that means to me

[sake]

@themommymonster has been so kind to me with my return to work, and understanding that I want to be home with G, and has assisted me in getting a job with the company she works for! (part time after school for now, possibly more later on down the road)

poppyseed has always been so helpful to me with my pregnancy questions, and giving me advice about having a newborn

tators and @utahlove13 are some of my ML bffs, and I love them sooo much

[stephlove]

One of my first threads I started was about when I wore a pair of colored skinny jeans, and a girl at work commented on how people like me shouldn't wear pants like that.

...then I got three pages of support and kind words from everyone here. It was so nice, and make me immediately decide I wasn't going to be a creepy lurker anymore.

At Christmas time when I was bummed because we really didn't have the money to get Edmund the things I really wanted to melindafelinda sent him several things that he absolutely loves and a set of clothes too. One day I will do that for someone else that is feeling that way.

Man, this made my throat lumpy.

I have always had a soft spot for you

Well polka is my BFF4LYFE -- she was instrumental in me getting through the CF stuff. HI BESTIE! She was also the second person ever to know I was pregnant and I still have her "congrats" voicemail, lol!

Even though she wasn't even talking to me and was just talking in general, eddy really made a huge psychological impact on my body image post babies. I really can't thank her enough for putting into words what I needed to feel.

@utahlove13 has been fantastic and is a great friend! Another person I can't thank enough for being there for me.

I'm still a newb but the support that I got from everyone yesterday was seriously amazing to me. I've lurked long enough to see the tremendous about of love and support that is offered to people pretty regularly, it's why I wanted to start posting to begin with.

[poppyseed]

Puddle was more than gracious to me when I was really struggling a few months ago. She let me vent and was very supportive.

Jillian let me send her like a thousand PMs about starting solids and never acted annoyed with me. Lol.

I love talking with missusbee. I wish we could be irl friends.

And I want to be sisterwives with Lazerus. I just love her. We don't live too far from each other, so I hope to meet her irl someday.

Really, everyone is great. Especially since having M, I know I've posted some really annoying stuff and AWed a lot but most everyone here has been nothing but kind and supportive.

[spitforspat]

ML has been so supportive in dealing with my mom's death. I remember I had terrible poison ivy and everyone was so sweet and offered such good advice.

Specifically, @quesera, MWOS, iamali, @saintmonica and skippingstones

Thanks again, guys.

[eddy]

Man this post is awesome. All of these behind the scenes acts of kindness that we normally don't even know about. We really do love each other don't we.

[eddy]

ninjabridemom
This one is for you girlfriend.

[Deleted]

Love you poppy. I just realized I probably never thanked you appropriately. Thank you for giving Andy the excitement he deserved.

[vicky]

Last year, through all of my troubles - my job loss (imoan said something to me that sticks with me to this day), my grandparents' deaths, my miscarriage, ttc stuff - you all have been so supportive and sweet.

kevin arnold, namasteak are my shoulders to snuggle in on and be a whiney baby and I cherish them for it.

As bonquiqui says ML LOVES YOU!!!!

ML <3 <3<3

I've gotten a plethora of PMs with help and support

[sewf]

ninjabridemom really helped the day I was freaking out about supplementing formula. I was feeling the mom guilt hard, but she made me realize that supplementing could be the best thing for us and my sanity.

[Deleted]

Awwww sake and ninjabridemom I love you both. Sake has helped me so much with my diabetes and starting to TTC. Just having someone there that knows what it's like and I can ask those stupid questions too is awesome. Plus, she makes cute babies

I love ninja. omg. She once told me that she wished there were more Mormons like me, more open and honest and willing to have an honest discussion about the religion and that's stuck with me. She was also the first MLer I friended on FB haha

I am a lurker to this board, yeah I know, creepy but reading all of these seriously has me tearing up at my desk.

[vicky]

ALSO hisno1girl!!! For contacting the attorney general when I couldn't. And all of the support during Sandy. ALL OF YOU. When I had a tree in my house and no roof!

[poppyseed]

Nevermind. I take it all back. Not one of you has sent me fudge. You don't really love me!
