You know what I loved about Ww.

NOLABridesmaid

She was her own woman. I'm sure it would have been easy to leave, and hang with all of her old friends, but she so wasn't a follower. She walked to her own drum.

It's not to say that people were followers for leaving, but I had a feeling during that time there their were a few ladies that wanted to stay, but didn't want to rock the boat. I could be wrong.

I remember the comment about her slitting in the rocking chair waiting. I now know why she came back that day.

I admit that when everyone cleared out that is when I felt comfortable coming out of hiding. I remember saying something to that affect years later and she said she liked me right away. I never told her how happy that made me.

The second thing that I loved about her was she was able to say things that I was thinking, but would never say. At 37, I know myself pretty well, and I know that I don't always come out and say what I'm really thinking because I don't want to hurt the person's feelings.

One reason I think she did speak her mind,  like somebody said, was because she didn't have time for the bs and p**** footing around. I respected that so much, and would shake my head *yes* on countless occasions when she was saying what I was thinking in 5 words or less, and I'm sure I would have tried to wrap my answer in a pretty bow.

I loved that there weren't many of us black chicks on the board, and I could post about some random black "cultured" fact and wouldn't need to give the back story.

I love that when I broke up with the fella, she patted my virtual hand, and gave me encouragement that I was too good for him and my "real" fella was coming.

I loved that her stories are like fine wine, they only get better with age.

There are more, but in my old age I sure have gotten wordy.:)

for someone who doesn't know what to say.  I kid I kid.

Well said.

Very well said.

I just loved her cuz she was clever and sharp tongued!

NOLA, I'm confident that I can speak for several (if not all) of us when I say that your "wordy"ness always brings so many of us peace and perspective.

ReturnOfKuus

You're certainly speaking for me, Myrtle.

jojobrn

Indeed Myrtle. That was lovely Nola.

MinM

Amen, NOLA.

mrsconn23

Amen, NOLA, amen.

TheDuckis

what Myrtle said.

That was lovely, NOLA.

**O-Face**

NOLA, you need to give yourself more credit for walking to the beat of your own drum.    Wordy or not, well said.

Very well said NOLA...and I was a total lurker during the great bannings, and that was what pushed me outta lurking, so I totally understand.
WW may not always have been liked but she was always real.

I felt less alone in the world becuase of her.  Common sence is not as common as you think.  The people around me act in ways that defied basic logic.  I was the odd man out trying to explain to my girlfriends you do not sleep with a man who had a three way with your best friend and another guy. 

I loved her friend "tier" system.  Based on her system, you ladies are my tier one friends, my IRL friends are all tier two.  LOL

<div>Well Busy, there are not many people in the world that share my fascination with placentas. You are tier one for me too.</div>

THere is no being "polite" here.  You can be kind but real.  That's more than you get in the real world.  This place is genuine.  That's why I've been here for 10 years.  Sure, I'd take a break for a few months every now and again but then something would pull me back, like someone getting married, having kids, or, sadly, being sick.

NOLABridesmaid

Busy, I think people can only fake for so long. Those are the people that usually wig out over something, and their true personality comes out.

Very entertaining, though.

That was lovely Nola.  And Mrs. Myrtle speaks for me when she says you bring peace and perspective.

frankiegirl

well said.

I remember being a little hurt that she didn't "follow us" because I thought if she were a real friend she would have.  But you are exactly right about her and that is why she didn't come.
