When I posted about giving my two weeks' notice and getting a new job that I think I'll love, isabel told me she'd been thinking about me and was just as happy as when her H had gotten an offer, lol.
She blows me away, with how kind she is to me (and everyone).
It's not because I know and love her in real life, or because it's her birthday today, but emsumm is unfailingly kind and gracious and I'm so glad we're friends.
She has checked in on me with kind sentiments for a while, now, consistently, whether I'm slow with getting back with her or not, due to absent-mindedness. With no real reason other than good-heartedness she does this.
Who has pinged on your kind 'dar lately here or IRL? Yeah, this is sappy, I know, but a little warm fuzzies never hurt nobody.
This is completely true and I have to second this. polka is amazing!

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
Polka, Quesera, and Puddle have all been extremely kind and thoughtful in checking up on me, giving me tons of encouragement, and making sure I'm doing ok recently.
Ash is my freaking rock, even now with a newborn.
Actually a lot of you ladies have been supportive and kind and encouraging lately with all of my turmoil and emo posts. I really appreciate it. <3
I have to be a lameass and say that you are all amazing. Seriously, I don't know what I would have done this year without all of you. This board is full of great wonderful women that I am so very lucky to know (heart)

tators wrote me a get well card after my hysterectomy. It wanted to cry when I opened and read it. It really meant a lot to me as I was going through such a hard time. Tators is good people.

When I posted my freakout a couple of weeks ago about my therapist wanting to see me twice a week everyone that responded was incredibly kind and supportive and saraandmichael PM'ed me and offered me some wonderful encouragement. It really meant a lot to me.
For people IRL, yesterday it was freezing outside and H was home. He offered to drive my car around for about 10 minutes before I had to leave for class so that it would be nice and warm for me when I got in.
@otterama has always been someone who has helped me through a lot. Even now that she has a kiddo, she is seriously my best friend. She's awesome and keeps me grounded.
also IRL..H has been working out with me lately at home and I haven't noticed a change at all but he wrapped his arms around my waist and said I was for sure getting smaller. This morning, I was bringing in groceries and he was like "Holy cow babe...you used to not be able to carry the dog food and bags before alone but now look at you." and he grabbed my arms and felt my muscles.
@misoangry was sweet and supportive when I told her a fear I have and sometimes get embarrassed about (only because I've been told before to just get over it and it's ridiculous, blah blah...). She gave me a couple tips, and told me it was nothing to be embarrassed about, and she understood.
Anyway, she might not have thought what she wrote was a big deal, but it was to me (heart)
I always have to mention my amazing friend for over 5 years now (can you believe it, sweets??) ninjabridemom. I love *everything* about her. Seriously, she's the best. She has great, new things happening in her life right now, and I'm SO proud of her. I don't know what I did to deserve a friend like her, but I'm not letting her go now that I have her ;-) BFFs!!! <3
It's not because I know and love her in real life, or because it's her birthday today, but emsumm is unfailingly kind and gracious and I'm so glad we're friends.
I just want to give props to all the people who have started over this year; fuckstick, Vicki, bonquiqui et al. It takes a lot of strength to do that and I really admire all of you and think you all kick ass.
I'm also so stoked for the people who have their babies after so much struggle and difficulty. VeryViolet, mudslide, @ottermama. Seeing them makes me so happy.
(heart) Thank you. For me, I owe it to all of you. (heart)

You have seriously made me tear up with the last few messages and posts youve directed to me. I don't think I'm brave at all and feel more like a giant mess struggling to survive right now, but just knowing that someone really thinks I'm brave and kick ass makes me feel good.
@misoangry gave me the confidence that I needed to follow through with my Doctor's suggestion to work less. The sky didn't even fall, and no one freaked out.

Thank you so much. It means so much to me and makes my hormonal ass tear up. You are seriously awesome!
It is a cop out but I immediately thought of everyone who has had to start over recently too. I cannot imagine how hard it is to start down a new path in life but there are so many ladies here who do it with such dignity when all I can think is how I would be out slashing tires and/or sitting in a corner ugly crying.

Jalapeñomel and Muddled (and bronxgirl though i know she rarely posts here) have been amazing and helpful and supportive during my on-again/off-again/on-again relocation and I can't wait to meet them IRL!
This was a long time ago, but squirrelymom helped me feel better about my husband being in grad school and that it would be over soon. I was having a really hard time, and I really appreciated that she took the time to make me feel better, even though she was still smack dab in the middle of Forrest being really sick.
Because there aren't enough words to capture how tremendous her existence is, how kind, how thoughtful, how caring, how amazing human being she is, and how I am absolutely fortunate to have her in my life.
julez has been such a fun person to have impromptu hangouts here in the city, and I'm eternally grateful.
HiC is my rock. She fills me with happy, with true happy with her comments, her advice, her thoughtfulness and her beauty.
I will always remember how EmilieMadison came to my house within minutes, after an accident where I felt absolutely lost and hopeless and in stupid despair, and was a true source of calm, reminding me that everything was fine - though at that moment, I pretty much felt the lowest I've ever felt, ever.
Recently I hung out with thedutchgirl, and I felt an immediate kinship with her, and she gave me awesome tips on things to do in the cities. Love them! Love her! (So if you felt I was dorky and boring, you better shut it!).
I know nicbreeful has listened to me whine, therefore she is amazing. bonquiqui is an online BFF in the making because of how thoughtful and wonderful she is.
Realistically though, I have seen many of you offer a hand, a kind word, and your support in many situations with different posters. And I think that is great.

Thank you.
Has he finished yet? I was wondering about that/you the other day.
He should be done this summer. There is a possibility he wouldn't get to defend until the fall, but I'm really hoping that doesn't happen.
