There wasn't a point. I thought the callout to OWN was stupid, that's all. Posted by LesPaul[/QUOTE]
Oh, no I do understand! I was making fun of the "callout" freak, not you. I meant of HER thinking age was an accusation. It just seemed weird to me that someone could even think calling someone "old" was an insult - which the callout freak obviously intended it to be.
Yeah, when I read the callout I thought "Well, duh." That's an insult? Or even a call-out? That's like making up a special secret to say "OWN - your dress was green."
Anyway, I forgot to spoon some love on Nightsprite, LesPaul, Jamie4, MIAF, and Lenore, too. And I know there are more - I stink at this.
Gosh I love reading these Haha I literally got to the end and realized what a big and silly looking smile I must have on my face.
I think I have a couple more...
Bec - I think the story of you and your husband is SO awesome. I like it because it's kinda like mine in that you knew him before and then years later it was just meant to be. Those kinds of stories are so serendipitous and you are so blessed.
Celles - I know we kinda differ on some opinions and how we go about things, but I do definitely respect you a lot. I feel like no matter what the discussion is you have the ability to help people take a step back and be like... hmm, you know what? You're right.
I don't think I've mentioned yet HOW INCREDIBLY SWEET jasmineh is. My gosh you are such a precious person! And I'm trying to say that in the most least annoying way possible But you always have something nice to say about everyone and that's a great quality to have.
I think NS always comes up with the funniest threads - and if she didn't start the funny thread, she's adding something interesting to the mix. Definitely fun to have around.
And yeah - ditto what everyone says about Shelly - so nice of course but I LOVE YOUR HAIR!
ETA - Someone mentioned earlier about how they think OWN is a "mother" on SB, and I kinda think the same way of Lenore. Holla! (...did I really just type holla? whatever)
Please please please don't all hate me for abandoning you. I have been in contact with a few of you lovely ladies by email and fb and I think you all know even my IRL friends hate me for disappearing into work. I know some seriously horrific crap went down the past few days and I really apologize for not being here with you all. I do want to tell you all I love you bunches, especially those below.
Nebb - You perspective never fails to make me say, 'huh? well that's a great way to think about that!" That is a quality I admire above most.
B - I feel like we need to catch up. I am so happy to have met one of the most kindred spirits I know on here and I feel like out of every one, I owe you a lot. You are my sista.
Heels- You have always made me smile in the sense that I wish I could say what you say and say it half as well. I truly believe absolutely every single person who gives you a hard time on here is jealous of you in some closet (or not so closet) way. I mean, it is easy to see why, but not so easy for them to admit it huh?
CEW and Bec and Missy - on behalf of millions of women everywhere, thank you for being you. The things you have all gone through in your life and the way you have come out some of the most successful, well rounded, intelligent and compassionate people I know is just an inspiration to every one here. We love the funny too.
J&K, Beatles, Roxy, Ricks and LC - the three of you are in my book as, "women I KNOW I could rule the world with." The sarcasm, the funny, the balls to the walls, and the respect to differ are only outweighed by the constant love I know you have for others. It is beautiful.
kd.joseph, jengin, apro, sarahplz, reddy, miaf - thanks for making this board something I know has grown into an amazing group of people. All of you contribute so much and I am so glad to call you friends. No really, this is not a blanket statement. I know it is easy for me to group you together as 'newer' and thus cover my base, but that is really not the case. It is no secret that many of us were a strong group of friends before this board and all of you take it in stride, enhance it and make me laugh all day long.
Jas - I want you to know I was not always your biggest fan and I don't know why. The more I get to know you, the more I realize that we simply just differ on some things. The one thing I will never differ from you on again is the way you see to the truth of things and stand up for your beliefs no matter what. I really respect you for this and I apologize for the past.
Sarahsmile - I think you know what I am talking about when I say we seem to 'get it' together and I want you to know I have your back girl. I you.
Tide, East and Own - you three make the board more awesome with every post. While you are hardly even close to the same people, you are certainly three very different voices I always count on to preach it to me. The things I have learned from you you might be surprised to know, but they have all made me see things most insightfully and less black and white. For this, I am very greatful.

Yeah, it was directed at OWN. I agree - my 40s have been the best decade yet.
And, I'd like to add a comment about how much I have learned from all of you ladies. I might not always participate in the discussion because I'm in and out of the thread, or it's too late, but you have changed my mind about various issues, showed me why I was wrong or overthinking something, expanded my understanding of a great many things, and generally entertained, amused, and enlightened me.

I ditto this Les. I don't always participate in all the threads, due to work or DH hogging the computer. But I enjoy being here, and reading other peoples points of view.
But what I really like is that you can give your point of view without fear of repercussions. People here except that we are different and agree to disagree. And I love your cat, I still have his picture on my computer.
Missy- I really like you. I think you are very loving, and I enjoy whenever you post.
Seshat-It made me so happy when you said your H makes you feel safe. You are a strong, intelligent woman. I want to beat the hell out of the people that have hurt you. You are so honest, and I think your genuine honesty only enhances all of your talents. I have always wanted to be a writer, and I really admire your work and accomplishments.
Lenore- I'm so glad you came around! You took some flack, and you didn't let it get to you. That is hard to do. I hope you stick around; I enjoy your perspective.
OWN- You deserve every happiness. I hope you know that.
M&M and Sarah- Sometimes people like to target intelligent, beautiful women. Lucky for you both, you are loquacious and can stand your ground. You can also do that while maintaining class.
CEW-Of course I love your wit, but I also think you are a strong woman. Ben is going to have such a wonderful life, and that is because of you.
Heels-Just know that you've made an impression on a lot of people, and you are truly a good person.
Roxy- You are going to make a beautiful bride. You always look fabulous, and T always looks so happy. That is because of you.
Katie- Scott is so lucky. You are full of love, and everyone around you feels it.
AATB- I know someone who looks just like you! Just joking. I think you are funny and confident, and I think you'd be a blast to hang out with.
MIAF-If I weren't already married, I'd ask Married to marry me. That is all.
Nebb- You are very candid about your personal life, and I appreciate that. You work your asss off, and I hope that soon you and your H reap the benefits of all of your work.
KD and Sarahplz- I imagine you both in leather jackets. Let's shoot tequila.
Reddy and Celles- You are smart and unique. I enjoy you both. Come around more!
And Aprove, I tried to PM this to you, but it won't work.
I just woke up a bit ago, and I'm still really annoyed by that call out. Kind of silly, I know. I hope you know how fabulous you are. You work hard, and you should be proud of that. You are going to do fantastic in law school! I so enjoy our conversations, and it pisses me off when people are rude to you.
Dudes, you guys are sneaky hiding a lovefest in this thread title. I adore lovefests, can I play?
I have many, and will come back in a minute to say more, but Reddy, you were one of my favorite newbs right off the bat, so I'm very flattered that you held me in such high esteem. And KD, you better let me know when you get to Boston!
Taco cat: Always a palindrome. ALWAYS, okay J&K?
"cool......insult my size 2 body or my natural brown hair...or the fact that my parents own a country club, I have no budget for a wedding, and I have horses. I really dont care. Its better then having roots." ~ futurepivko
Thanks Jas, you are a very sweet and caring person.
As for the leather jacket, yes I've had 2 ,but I need a new one (the old ones are a little dated with fringe). But you may be surprised to know, I've never done shots.
- Obligatory (but honest) appeal to Heels not to go, though I understand if she feels she must. You will be sorely missed like whoa.
- MIAF is one of the coolest new chicks to come up on this board in awhile. I liked her right away and love that she is just herself and that's what makes her awesome.
- Jas has been rocking my world lately. You're so well-spoken and kind, and I don't feel like you have to try hard to censor bitchy things, you're just a genuinely nice person.
- Betrothed is true blue, all the way. Smart, funny, and to the point.
- J&K is my reason for opening posts that I otherwise wouldn't, because she usually has something funny to say, or delightfully truthful that needed to be said.
- Sarah0725 is the easiest person in the world to talk to. And she always sounds intelligent and informed without that pesky PhD-brand douchiness.
- Sucrets, I miss you much. We need to coordinate so that the collective hour that each of us are able to knot each day is during the same time.
- Roxy and Nebb, I love reading and chatting in your conversations about anything and everything.
- Shelly, you bring the funny most always.
- OWN, most of what you say is sig-quote-worthy. How do you do that?
There are more, I know I'm forgetting people...

"cool......insult my size 2 body or my natural brown hair...or the fact that my parents own a country club, I have no budget for a wedding, and I have horses. I really dont care. Its better then having roots." ~ futurepivko
I know it sounds dorky but these really do bring a huge smile to my face and make me feel warm and fuzzy. Mine is probably going to be an all day thing as I keep thinking of things
Jas - You are quite possibly one of the purest souls that I have ever met. You remind me of a momma deer. You are quiet and peaceful and beautiful but don't you dare fvk with her baby or you will kick asss and take no excuses.
OWN - You are awesome. I love that you did your wedding your way and you are so incredibly sweet.
KD - I hope I can be like you when I'm in my 40's. You are so cool and put together and definitely look 10 years younger.
Cher - How can I not love an amazing weiner dog owner?
Seshat - We could have so much fun together if we lived closer. You are so sweet and such a strong person. I love that you are a writer and it motivates me to actually start working on my projects again.
Blue - I think you would be an absolutely amazing drinking buddy. I love your crazy bar stories and live vicariously through your stories. And feel free to ask fertility questions anytime. I'm a bit obsessed and can always use an outlet lol.
HEELS - I love you, really I do You have "seen" sides of me that I don't let anyone else see, sometimes even Scott, and you have never judged me or made me feel like my feelings weren't valid. You are one of the people I can talk to candidly and you rock.
Cew - You are hilarious, no matter what people say. You may not have the most traditional humor but you always make me laugh when you come into posts. I also think you are a great mom and the pictures of Ben made me reconsider only wanting a girl.
Bec - Where are you woman? I miss you and your crazy craftiness and craft injuries. Only you could get a black eye building a birdhouse!
Roxy - I think in my next life I want to be your roommate. I love your fashion sense and could definitely use someone to give me some pointers. You are also so incredibly sweet.
AATB, Aprove, Seshat -- Thanks for the kind words! It means a whole lot, especially coming from people I don't always see eye to eye with. I love that we can disagree on some things, but still like and respect each other, and perhaps eventually forge genuine friendships.
I'll post more in a bit; just getting settled in at the office now.
I don't really know many people here yet, but Cew's always stuck out to me as just a hilarious, lovely person, so there's my one direct lovefest compliment.
I like everyone on SB. I probably wouldn't post on TK at all if not for you guys. There's just a friendly atmosphere around here, and you're all such nice people.
LesPaul--First off, love the name. second, I always like what you have to say--be it advice, funnies, or BS...I think you rock!
OWN--I've had a warm fuzzy for you since you started posting. I was slowly withdrawing from E so I didn't post much, but I always wanted to tell you how much I liked you
katiewhompus--also love the name! (I have a name thing apparently) and think you're super cool and interesting.
Becs--we go way back, so nothin ain't changed!
Again, all you ladies and occasional gents are pretty fab in my book!
Tide - You are one of the most level headed people I have ever met. You are just as awesome irl as you are here and I can already tell that Taryn is going to grow up to be a wonderful person. She is so happy and secure with herself even at this age and you and M are a huge part of that.
Sucrets - I think you were the first knottie I really considered to be a friend. You have always been so nice and supportive through everything. Emma definitely drew the good straw in the "mom lottery" when she decided to come be part of your family.
ButterflyKate - You may be 2 years younger than me, but you are also a huge role model. I can't think of many women who have the inner strength and courage that you have shown us. I think Declan is really lucky to have a mom who cares about him so much and who will do anything for him.

I think that's a perfect description/image.
Ha, we should totally do a "what animal would the knotties be" thread. That could get interesting.
Cew - I love your sense of humor! Your posts always make me laugh and you've been one of the friendliest/most welcoming people to me.
katie, seshat, sarapliz, msmery, MIAF and jasmineh - you all stick out in my head as giving me some fantastic advice and encouragement every time I post a question or concern. I really appreciate it.
Betrothed - I have to admit, back when I was lurking I was a bit intimidated by you. I think it was the angry bunny. Now that I've talked to you I've really come to like and respect you.
Beatles - You're such a nice person and I enjoy your humor, as well. And, of course, you have awesome taste in music!
np - you always make me laugh. I enjoy when you come around.
AATB - you're so friendly. I enjoy chatting with you, as well!
I'm sorry if I've forgotten people!
ETA: Tide - I have the utmost respect for you for how hard you work to take care of your family.
one of the new girls that starts with "r" I think (from australia and went to school in new zealand) - I really appreciate your help and insight into getting a marketing degree.
Celles - You are clever and speak your mind without alienating people in the process. That's a skill in my book.
Katie - I think we must have run in different circles on E, because I feel so silly now for not getting to know you sooner! I love your devotion to animals (especially taco cat, haha) and that we can chat about SYTYCD. You seem like such a nice and caring person.
M&M - Please come back more. It's not the same without you. xo

Def agree Beatles I love me some taco cat and would be sad if he went away! I don't know if it's the different vibe of SB or me changing irl but yeah, most people don't realize I have been posting on E since Aug of '08.
Awww, SarahPLiz! That was so nice of you! Thank you so much! I wish I could show you a picture of me right now--glasses, hair a mess, PJs...I'm adorable. =P
btw, you are a cutie as well! I wish I could swim. You look so fierce.
Celles! I never know how to say it--I say either 'sells' or 'chells' or 'sellies' or 'chellies' in my head, and I get amused by that. Anyway, you are always really smart. I can't put it into words, but something about you...I dig it.
Katie - I love all your animal/house threads, because I'm pretty ignorant on both fronts, and consider you to pretty much know what you're doing. You're smart.
And you and your husband are fecking adorable.
Also, love fests are my favorite. There is so much awesome in this thread.
to everyone- instead of breaking it down- id rather say it to u all. u girls are fabulous- funny, smart and caring. I come back here because I enjoy hearing what you all have to say. ignore the callout sites. its really all pathetic.
Ooh yes, wedding dress love: K Byte, Opal, Starmusica, and Betrothed (I know B got married way back when, but I love that she is finally AWing her dress!)

[QUOTE]Yeah, when I read the callout I thought "Well, duh." That's an insult? Or even a call-out? That's like making up a special secret to say "OWN - your dress was green."

Did I miss something? Was there a "callout" about age? Cause that could be about a few of us. And I personally like my age. The older I get the more I like myself, even if my arse got wider along the way.

Yeah, it was directed at OWN. I agree - my 40s have been the best decade yet.
And, I'd like to add a comment about how much I have learned from all of you ladies. I might not always participate in the discussion because I'm in and out of the thread, or it's too late, but you have changed my mind about various issues, showed me why I was wrong or overthinking something, expanded my understanding of a great many things, and generally entertained, amused, and enlightened me. Thanks.

I ditto this Les. I don't always participate in all the threads, due to work or DH hogging the computer. But I enjoy being here, and reading other peoples points of view.
But what I really like is that you can give your point of view without fear of repercussions. People here except that we are different and agree to disagree.
And I love your cat, I still have his picture on my computer.
Seshat-It made me so happy when you said your H makes you feel safe. You are a strong, intelligent woman. I want to beat the hell out of the people that have hurt you. You are so honest, and I think your genuine honesty only enhances all of your talents. I have always wanted to be a writer, and I really admire your work and accomplishments.
Lenore- I'm so glad you came around! You took some flack, and you didn't let it get to you. That is hard to do. I hope you stick around; I enjoy your perspective.
OWN- You deserve every happiness. I hope you know that.
M&M and Sarah- Sometimes people like to target intelligent, beautiful women. Lucky for you both, you are loquacious and can stand your ground. You can also do that while maintaining class.
CEW-Of course I love your wit, but I also think you are a strong woman. Ben is going to have such a wonderful life, and that is because of you.
Heels-Just know that you've made an impression on a lot of people, and you are truly a good person.
Roxy- You are going to make a beautiful bride. You always look fabulous, and T always looks so happy. That is because of you.
Katie- Scott is so lucky. You are full of love, and everyone around you feels it.
AATB- I know someone who looks just like you! Just joking. I think you are funny and confident, and I think you'd be a blast to hang out with.
MIAF-If I weren't already married, I'd ask Married to marry me. That is all.
Nebb- You are very candid about your personal life, and I appreciate that. You work your asss off, and I hope that soon you and your H reap the benefits of all of your work.
KD and Sarahplz- I imagine you both in leather jackets. Let's shoot tequila.
Reddy and Celles- You are smart and unique. I enjoy you both. Come around more!
I just woke up a bit ago, and I'm still really annoyed by that call out. Kind of silly, I know.
I hope you know how fabulous you are. You work hard, and you should be proud of that. You are going to do fantastic in law school!
I so enjoy our conversations, and it pisses me off when people are rude to you.
Okay, end silly rant.
I have many, and will come back in a minute to say more, but Reddy, you were one of my favorite newbs right off the bat, so I'm very flattered that you held me in such high esteem.

As for the leather jacket, yes I've had 2 ,but I need a new one (the old ones are a little dated with fringe). But you may be surprised to know, I've never done shots.
So I tip my Mojito your way.
- Obligatory (but honest) appeal to Heels not to go, though I understand if she feels she must. You will be sorely missed like whoa.
- MIAF is one of the coolest new chicks to come up on this board in awhile. I liked her right away and love that she is just herself and that's what makes her awesome.
- Jas has been rocking my world lately. You're so well-spoken and kind, and I don't feel like you have to try hard to censor bitchy things, you're just a genuinely nice person.
- Betrothed is true blue, all the way. Smart, funny, and to the point.
- J&K is my reason for opening posts that I otherwise wouldn't, because she usually has something funny to say, or delightfully truthful that needed to be said.
- Sarah0725 is the easiest person in the world to talk to. And she always sounds intelligent and informed without that pesky PhD-brand douchiness.
- Sucrets, I miss you much. We need to coordinate so that the collective hour that each of us are able to knot each day is during the same time.
- Roxy and Nebb, I love reading and chatting in your conversations about anything and everything.
- Shelly, you bring the funny most always.
- OWN, most of what you say is sig-quote-worthy. How do you do that?
There are more, I know I'm forgetting people...

Jas - You are quite possibly one of the purest souls that I have ever met. You remind me of a momma deer. You are quiet and peaceful and beautiful but don't you dare fvk with her baby or you will kick asss and take no excuses.
OWN - You are awesome. I love that you did your wedding your way and you are so incredibly sweet.
KD - I hope I can be like you when I'm in my 40's. You are so cool and put together and definitely look 10 years younger.
Cher - How can I not love an amazing weiner dog owner?
Seshat - We could have so much fun together if we lived closer. You are so sweet and such a strong person. I love that you are a writer and it motivates me to actually start working on my projects again.
Blue - I think you would be an absolutely amazing drinking buddy. I love your crazy bar stories and live vicariously through your stories. And feel free to ask fertility questions anytime. I'm a bit obsessed and can always use an outlet lol.
HEELS - I love you, really I do
Cew - You are hilarious, no matter what people say. You may not have the most traditional humor but you always make me laugh when you come into posts. I also think you are a great mom and the pictures of Ben made me reconsider only wanting a girl.
Bec - Where are you woman? I miss you and your crazy craftiness and craft injuries. Only you could get a black eye building a birdhouse!
Roxy - I think in my next life I want to be your roommate. I love your fashion sense and could definitely use someone to give me some pointers. You are also so incredibly sweet.

I'll post more in a bit; just getting settled in at the office now.
LesPaul--First off, love the name. second, I always like what you have to say--be it advice, funnies, or BS...I think you rock!
OWN--I've had a warm fuzzy for you since you started posting. I was slowly withdrawing from E so I didn't post much, but I always wanted to tell you how much I liked you
katiewhompus--also love the name! (I have a name thing apparently) and think you're super cool and interesting.
Becs--we go way back, so nothin ain't changed!
Again, all you ladies and occasional gents are pretty fab in my book!
Tide - You are one of the most level headed people I have ever met. You are just as awesome irl as you are here and I can already tell that Taryn is going to grow up to be a wonderful person. She is so happy and secure with herself even at this age and you and M are a huge part of that.
Sucrets - I think you were the first knottie I really considered to be a friend. You have always been so nice and supportive through everything. Emma definitely drew the good straw in the "mom lottery" when she decided to come be part of your family.
ButterflyKate - You may be 2 years younger than me, but you are also a huge role model. I can't think of many women who have the inner strength and courage that you have shown us. I think Declan is really lucky to have a mom who cares about him so much and who will do anything for him.

I think that's a perfect description/image.
Ha, we should totally do a "what animal would the knotties be" thread. That could get interesting.
Cew - I love your sense of humor! Your posts always make me laugh and you've been one of the friendliest/most welcoming people to me.
katie, seshat, sarapliz, msmery, MIAF and jasmineh - you all stick out in my head as giving me some fantastic advice and encouragement every time I post a question or concern. I really appreciate it.
Betrothed - I have to admit, back when I was lurking I was a bit intimidated by you. I think it was the angry bunny. Now that I've talked to you I've really come to like and respect you.
Beatles - You're such a nice person and I enjoy your humor, as well. And, of course, you have awesome taste in music!
np - you always make me laugh. I enjoy when you come around.
AATB - you're so friendly. I enjoy chatting with you, as well!
I'm sorry if I've forgotten people!
ETA: Tide - I have the utmost respect for you for how hard you work to take care of your family.
one of the new girls that starts with "r" I think (from australia and went to school in new zealand) - I really appreciate your help and insight into getting a marketing degree.
Katie - I think we must have run in different circles on E, because I feel so silly now for not getting to know you sooner! I love your devotion to animals (especially taco cat, haha) and that we can chat about SYTYCD. You seem like such a nice and caring person.
M&M - Please come back more. It's not the same without you. xo

I wish I could show you a picture of me right now--glasses, hair a mess, PJs...I'm adorable. =P
btw, you are a cutie as well! I wish I could swim. You look so fierce.
Celles! I never know how to say it--I say either 'sells' or 'chells' or 'sellies' or 'chellies' in my head, and I get amused by that. Anyway, you are always really smart. I can't put it into words, but something about you...I dig it.
And you and your husband are fecking adorable.
Also, love fests are my favorite. There is so much awesome in this thread.
