I really didn't want to reply to this cos I know I will forget people, and to write 'i love you all' wont do justice to all the fantastic people here. But here goes, and I will be back to update:
(btw, humour and compassion play a major part in all this, so sorry for repetition)
ABEL: IO and you are never mutually exclusive. You are a wonderful person, talented and fun.
BC: You really do make me laugh so much. Your subtle humour is some of the best around. You have a gift with words, humour and a beautiful beautiful heart.
Meggie: one interfs most gorgeous girls. Funny, clearly got the smarts, and a whizz with paint.
FizzingWhizzbees: Not only do you have one of the most outstanding nicks, you are a great person. You are one of fym's finest, but in here you are just as kind and considerate and funny too.
Slomey: 75% excellent :cheeseyupman:
Screamer: As much as you suck, you rule equally as much. Seriously, you're wonderful, funny as shit, and you have the handle on sarcasm. I love it.
Angel: Awww, again, one of the nicest chickadees here. Funny, and kind. Dont ever go too far from here will ya?
Popchick: You crack me up. You really do. Dont change.
BLS: So kind, so funny. You have a big heart, and will make a kickarse vet.
Sicy: I love your balls. Cos you do have them...yes, you do. Keep calling it like it is matie. You're doing it right, too. Dont forget it eh.
HA: Sweetness personified. You give a lot to this place, all the biggest thanks to you, that you can handle.
U2girlie: Another one that kills me with humour. You're beautiful girl, thanks for being you.
Ody: Your one eye see's all, and you are in mascot coolness territory.
Zoner: Funny and fun. You're an IO necessity, and one of the Life Member Achievement Award Nominees.
Sweetest Thong: One of the classiest thongs I have ever not met, but still tres cool. Funny and kind too.
Yertle: The Music Man. You know so much stuff and never once sound like an arse for it. This place is a better place for what you bring.
Adamswildhoney: Although we dont talk really, you are a sweet kind person and make me laugh too.
Diemen: Another of the IO blokes who is always interesting. See also: Zoner.
Melon: Almost an enigma, but a bit too real to be anything less than a great persona around these parts.
Icelle: Such kindness and caring in one person. You keep it real girl. And you have brought into the world, one of the most gorgeous little girls I've ever seen.
[mental blank...who am i forgetting?]
Deathbedhair: I'll never touch you, as long as I dont 'know' you. Better luck next time, me old china.
Kobeson: Such zen. Such charm lol.
Khan: Again, the sarcasm and humour you have is outstanding. I love how you single handedly remind me of Russian Undies.
Lilly: You scare me, cos one day you will take over the world, or Souix Falls at least, and well....ah geez. Vodka - It doesn't have to be taken seriously, just regularly.
Martha: See also Sicy re: balls. I love the upfront attitude. Call it how it is!
Verte:
Sorry lmao. Couldn't resist. Beautiful person, much fun, I love reading what you have to say.
Cass: You're just outstanding in so many ways.
Wertsie: Always bringing some fun and great stuff here. Another person I love reading
Ok, im gonna stop now. Sorry this was so long. I know there are people I have left off. You all deserved smilies too, but alas, limits. I know I've forgotten people here. I'll be back with more lol - cos I know people just live for my approval (joking...lol)
