WOW! I’m overwhelmed. I expected me to hit this sometime next week! Thank you guys! Especially @Hawaii_Jake for hosting this party! It makes my heart warm that the first thing you think about is my faith, while at the same time, I hope I have not been pushy. I make a huge effort not to prosthelytize and I hope that I haven’t offended anyone.
@mazingerz88 , Thanks for the compliment but I’m probably old enough to be your mother!
@augustlan , Love you too! You are so great at being balanced and fair, when I just know that if I were in your shoes I would probably react accordingly. (What I mean is, You “respond” instead of “reacting.” I’m not real good at that.)
@AshLeigh , You are such a sweetie, thanks so much!
@YARNLADY , thank you. I credit it as one of my greatest fluther achievements that I convinced you that slower traffic should move to the right when faster traffic is behind you on the California freeway system. :-)
@Buttonstc , Thank you. I know that your posts will always hold a thread of wisdom as well. Often I will just give a GA to you and skip a question because you have already said it better than I ever could.
@FutureMemory , That’s so sweet. I always know I will find wisdom in your posts as well!
@auhsojsa , did you stick your tongue out at me?
@rooeytoo , I always love your sage advice from down under!
@stardust , Why thank you! Your sparkling responses always delight.
@Nullo , Thank you. Now if I could only convince you that Jesus was a liberal!
@zensky , Thank you. I know I will make it back to Israel one day. We will have to meet up then!
@ZEPHYRA , How nice of you to say. Thank you so much!
@Lightlyseared , Thank you. Are you tending the BBQ?
@JilltheTooth , Thank you. I try to always look for “the third way.” You also are so well spo…written. I appreciate your common sense.
@rebbel , Thank you. You always crack me up.
@flutherother , thanks so much. I’m still trying to figure out who the other fluther is.
@bkcunningham , thank you so much. I appreciate your frank honesty here.
@Adirondackwannabe , Thank you! This is one of my busiest weekends of the year as I am performing in the Vagina Monologues this weekend but I had to stop and thank you all. Your posts are always right on.
@filmfann , the feeling is mutual. When ever I see your avatar I know I will hear words from a kindred spirit.
@Ayesha , thank you so much.
@janbb , Thanks! There is a secret side of me that longs to be Jewish, (sort of like an adopted kid who wants to be a “real ” sibling) so I appreciate the greeting!
@marinelife , That means a lot coming from such an experienced jelly. I appreciate you. :-)
@chyna , Thank you. I have grown up a lot and believe it or not, fluther has helped me deepen my faith.
@Keep_on_running , Thank you! I just love your user name! although I don’t run, every time I see you pop up I remember that I must not stop moving.
@wilma , thank you so much. You also seem to be very kind and sensible.
@digitalimpression , Why, thank you!!
@tranquilsea , How did I miss it as well? Lurve moves slow in the 20K’s and I was sure it would be another week!
@Pandora , so sweet. It’s the magic of the intranet. It is easier to disguise your imperfections when words can be taken back with a “backspace” button, although, my fat fingers and spelling gaffs still get through often enough to be marked down quite a bit!
@SavoirFaire , It’s nice here, but I forgot my scuba gear!
@syz , thanks!
@Sunny2 , If only I had the sticktoitiveness when it came to studying in college!
@bongo , I don’t know about amazing, it might just mean that I don’t have a life! (just kidding, I love my jelly universe.)
@HungryGuy , thank you. I know I need to be nice because you scare me. ~
@Mariah , thanks. I always feel all maternal when I converse with you. :-)
@Coloma , no worries. It’s a vegie feast! My grand kids are throwing me a Plant’s vs Zombies birthday party this year and it will be all vegetables and fruits so we might as well start now!
@Aster , Thank you so much!
@MilkyWay , Thanks. You’re a glimmer of light as well.
@SpatzieLover , The toto is best!! I guess I’ll break my diet for a pancake or two. :-)
@tinyfaery , I don’t know if you know what an impact you have had on me. When you slammed me in a conversation about prop 8, you made me take a good hard look at myself and how I viewed my faith. In part, because of you, I have change churches to one that accepts and loves people just the way they are. I have had an attitude adjustment that can only be described as a “God thing.” Thank you for calling me out, and thank you for helping to make me a better person.
@whitenoise , Thank you!
@LuckyGuy , I am so glad you don’t have to be a worried guy anymore. Here’s to your health!
To all my fluther friends,
This journey here on fluther, (for around 4 years!) has been amazing. You have made me think, made me laugh and made me cry. You have challenged me to not only be a better person, but to be a better Christian. I love the way we respect each other here. I love that I can get into the mind of someone with a different life view and see the world from their perspective.
Thank you all for helping me grow. I appreciate you all.
