I’m terrible at receiving compliments, a problem a lot of people seem to have. I never know what to do or say and I try to minimize or deflect. But I also have a lot of trouble giving compliments. I always think the person will assume I want something or just think I am sucking up and not really believe what I am saying. But here might be a good place to give it a try because I don’t personally know anyone beyond what they post and consequently I wouldn’t really have an agenda for someone to be suspicious of.
Here’s a big ass mirror for ya:
Anya – She loves bad writing. That alone makes her tops in my book. But there is lots more about her to admire. Her posts are honest and heartfelt. She moves me with her words.
Dapperbutch – His presentation is soothing and his words are spot on. He is thoughtful and knowledgeable. He isn’t limited to any particular area and I enjoy reading all his posts. Just an all around honorable human being.
Gemme – She motivates me to stick to my exercise program and keeps me laughing with her awesome sense of humor. And she starts some very interesting threads. Not to mention she is an excellent writer and I enjoy reading all her posts.
Kobi – My feminist conscience and a brilliant debater. She is a tireless defender of women. She is ever watchful of the future of women’s rights, while never forgetting where we came from and the cost to get here. Thank you for taking the time to remind us of all the fabulous feminists who have come before and paved the way for us. You make me proud. I mean you Kobi. Okay the fabulous feminist women make me proud too.
Ms. Tinkerbelly – keeps me updated on the latest news for gay marriage
Martina – brilliant, interesting, opinionated, fabulous and just a pleasure to read. I pretty much thread stalk her.
The Lady Snow – My favorite oppression crusader. She watches all our backs and I thank her for that. It might seem a thankless task but it is noticed and appreciated.
Daktari – can always be counted on to make me laugh at some point during the day. Ya gotta love that!
Honeybarbara – Bright, beautiful, bold and bawdy. Not to mention just brilliant. A pure delight. I enjoy her posts so much!!
Kätzchen– We have some common interests and I can honestly say she always keeps me guessing, especially on the music threads. She is also one of the sweetest people.
Grayson – I always enjoy reading his words of wisdom. I miss his voice of lately.
Hollylane - Her brilliant mind coupled with her social conscience and her environmental understanding makes her someone I admire a good deal. And she writes an awesome haiku.
Corkey – Is someone who I respect a great deal on this forum. He is honest and down to earth. There are just some people you feel you have much in common with even without ever meeting them in person and he is just one of those people for me.
Andrea – Keeps her eye on those TSA agents. I can always find out what is going on by reading her posts. Thanks for that. I really appreciate people with a social conscience.
Cinnamongirl – she is very funny and makes laugh. Thanks for that.
Jesse – You too also crack me up.
There are several people who I respect for how they represent themselves here and would like to hold up a mirror to show them how awesome they are and to say thank you for being here:

To share this space with my wife, Truly Scrumptious and my sister, Slowpurr is such a treat. Truly Scrumptious you are so amazing, so kind and loving, so talented, so freakin brilliant it blows me away. I am the luckiest butch in the world, no contest, hands down! All that and the best, most brilliant, most awesome, sister ever just shows me how ridiculously fortunate I am. And makes it all the more fun to be here. Love you both so much.
I have no doubt I forgot someone or several someones whose posts are extremely meaningful to me and when it dawns on me I will be back to set the record straight.
Oh ya, since it was Gemme who went out of her way to get me a link to this thread and not for anything other than altruistic reasons, I must end this post reminding her what a brilliant, awesome, and funny human being she is.
