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!

CheshireGrin is awesome! She sent me some maple candy since she saw that it is my favorite. And she basically lives in maple candyland. I wish I lived there, I would be in a sugar coma probably 50% of the time. She included her Christmas card and her and her husband are so cute!!! So is their dog.
I've been happy that nobody has said I'm beating a dead horse when I've brought up my car accident. I'm kind of embarrassed about how it impacted me mentally. It's been good for me that I have been about to bring it up and not be told to just get over it. I really appreciate the warm thoughts.
The board really is filled with super nice people. I have to give a shout out though to littleduck, swedishfish, TrickyBob and a few others. They've been awesome.
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!).
It was the best time I've had in weeks! I told a good friend later that I thought I had made a new friend. So thanks. <3

Add me to the polka check-in club. She is amazing and somehow always (magically) seems to know when I'm have a rough day, and that's when I get a polka message. She's quite possibly the most thoughtful person on the planet.

bonquiqui and kooshball were so amazingly supportive when I came down with optic neuritis. I couldn't believe two people who probably never noticed me were taking time to give me advice, encouragement, and tips and then checking up on me.

emsumm and nursecramer both went out of their way to dig up experience AND TO SHARE PERSONAL RESOURCES (BOTH!) to help me my first year of teaching. I has been helpful beyond measure and so much appreciated. What giving and wonderful souls.
ETA gretchenindisguise and Que? They are both consistently willing to speak to me in a kind way - even at my most stupid and flameworthy times. I appreciate this because they don't placate, they just try to treat me with dignity. I've seen both stand as the sole poster in a pile-on thread willing to include something kind even in dissenting replies. I am infinitely grateful for this. Thank you, guys.
Edited again for the lovely @@cse1960. I could never express how much better my life with SIL is because of sue's quick insight. I would have made a family brawl many times over if not for her perspective and wisdom.
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.
It was my pleasure to talk =) I just know how hard it is to think of yourself as crazy and the stigma that it carries, and sometimes you just need to hear that others have walked that same road and aren't crazy, but just in need of a little extra help.
I'd like to take a second to say that bcv513 gave me one of the nicest compliments...so nice it made me cry a little bit. She pm'd me and said "I also wanted to thank you. When I was first diagnosed with Crohns I started a thread whining. You told me to be an advocate and use it for something good. Your words really meant a lot. I've signed up with the Crohns and Colitis Foundation to be a mentor. Thank you!"
It was really quite something to have someone say that my advice moved them to become involved in something like that. And I thought it was extra kind of her to tell me about it.
