TRIBUTE

---

I didn't realise that my branded products were selling in the UK now... excellent!

ooooh dear lord.....make sure you tape this stuff

It's funny you should mention that because I talked to Odelia just the other day. She graduated with her degree in theatre!! I haven't talked to Stupid_Man although he is in my buddy list. The thing about sites like these is that people often obtain all they need and go and while it's sad to see them leave we must learn never to forget them but also make room for the new people arriving.

I wouldn't want to name names because I know that I'd more than likely leave someone out by accident, but I know I thank many people on this site for all the diffrent ways they've touched my life. When I came to this site I was terribly depressed and angry at the world (still am at times lol) but I met some of the most amazing people from all walks of life who showed me that it's okay to be diffrent, it's okay to feel comfortable in my own skin, and that you shouldn't be ashamed of who and what you are on the inside and that you should always be yourself. I know I'm not the best at giving advice, but I try, and I'm so grateful for all the wonderful advice I've been given since I've been here. hugs

For the most part I dont know who has helped me. I jus cant remember. This is because I used to just post everynow and then with questions and never memorise the names of people who replied to me. Its only recently I've started to remmeber people by name. This is not a cop-out, I'm realy just not sure.So I will thank everyone that has helped me with any questions I've had before. You possibly know who you are.I will thank Kopite and Tom (I cant remember his names on here) for their recent advice on phimosis. I also recall Damian being cool and helpful with my depression, though it seems hes not hear to read my thanks, and also Ineligable and AngelWitch.

She seems to be okay to me. She and I hadn't talked in almost a year and then I just kept thinking, "Dude..you need to talk to her."As for thanking people, I'm with Katie on this one. There's so many people that have helped me I would most assuredly leave one out. Just a few that come to mind are Walken, Kris, Katie, Helms, Ineligible, Diver..there are so many others though that I can't name them all. It's unfair to name some and then not name others. I realize I just did that but there are so many more of you like SteveA, CR125 and the list goes on and on. In some way we all help each other whether it's directly or indirectly. So I agree that just shouting out names would be inappropriate. There are so many people that I would like to thank and if I win a grammy I won't know what to say. You're all great in your own unique way and you all add something special. Cheers!

Helmsie- To my uncle! You are amazing.. the best person I know.. you've helped me through everything.. always there for extra support!!Unsupervised- Thanks for everything youve ever done for me.. you're always there to talk to me, help me through my problems and give me a shoulder to bitch on!.. I LOVE YOU!Kris- You're the one person who I know I can turn to about any situation.. and when I say any.. I mean any.. (hense today.. ahah gross).. you're awesome!

love you too Kiddo! Even if we argue, you'll still jump to my deffence when some idiot tries to take a low shot at me.

I know I said I wouldn't name names, but I've got to at least name a few of the people who have really helped me through a lot even though they don't know they did. Their words helped me out of the many dark corners I managed to put my self in many diffrent times though out my time on this board. It may sound mushy, and it may sound stupid, but I do not care, it's how I feel.Eddie, Angel, and Amy- I love you to bits guys, you're always there when I need to vent, when I need a laugh, or when I need a shoulder to cry on. You've all helped me more than you know and I am truely gratful for all the wonderful advice you've given me. Each one of you have left a mark on my life and I'll carry it with me always cuddlesMr. U (my old man)- Even though we haven't got to talk alot these days I hope ya know I love ya and that I am very honored to have met a person such as yourself. You've been delt some harsh blows in this life and sweetie, I'll be the first to say you deserve nothing but happieness. You're a wonderful, strong, and very intelligent person and I'm happy to say you're one of my friends. kisses Misty, Rick - You guys are the best. I love you guys to bits and I know we haven't talked much in a while, but I can't really put into words how appreciative I am to you. You've listened to my silly 'man' issues, family problems, and my crazy rantings over anything and everything. There are so many other people that have helped me with many diffrent issues... I can't express how this board and the people here have helped me out. I think this is a wonderful site and being given the chance to help other people out is amazing.Yeah, now I'm just rambling so I'll end my little 'thanks' speech here...

Don't feel TOO threatened by Kristal lol. She can be hardcore and if you mess/argue with her she'll back your butt into a corner with no way out lol. She bit my head off a few times before when I argued with her. But now she's like my big sister and I can talk to her when ever I'm feeling bad.

ahhh, the naming of names. I didn't want to play along for all the same reasons but maybe it's worth while just mentioning a few. If anyone feels I've forgotten them, please speak up... it's only fair and y'all know what my memory can be like.I came to A2A shortly after my marital strife began and we lived through it together.Katie for giving both shoulders so often late at nightAngel for reminding me that I'm still hot when I was scared of being an old single man.Steve for the debates and the great play with words... damn I love that. Also for his concern about my situation (the side of him his detractors don't see)Chance for reminding me that hatred and viceral anger are not only acceptable but mandatory.Lish... oh Lish... we started off our friendship on such an antagonistic note in my thread about "sounding"... now look at us.Roc for telling me how sexy I am then appologising every single time just incase it makes me uncomfortable.Cenfath for the long chats about life and relationshipsJavaddict for being smart and hot and mostly for being such a good person (yep... going to the special event!!)PepsiChaser for being another wonderful late night friend during my darkest times... and also a distant drinking buddy. shit, I'm surprised either of us could decipher some of our MSN chats. maybe drunk typing plus drunk reading cancels each other out!ilikekisses... damn we had some good discussions on the "mechanics of love" Steph, as I mentioned above.Amy for just being a sweatheart and patiently listening to a bitter old man rantKristal for her political insight and general sensuality.Then there's the "banter buddies" with whom I love to trade insults... Bob, Last (miss him), Walkin etc etc etcand finally, the advasaries because I love a good fight! F22fighter, InSearch, Unforgeto, AverageJoe.... ummm, please tell me I wasn't responsible for chasing them all away... pleaseAlso a special thanks to the very few who know the "secrets" and all the fellow Canadians!so there... I have this feeling that I've missed someone obvious so I'll make sure to make note when I'm reminded

Thanks for the sensible posts btw
