Positive things to Say
 

Well, to clear the air of the negativity, of which I am a part, I thought I'd start a thread wherein, you pick one or two Ledgies to say something nice about.

For example:

David is one of the most stimulating conversationalists I know and I relish his posts, which challenge me to use the dictionary just about every day - and he even told me which one to use :laugh:

Sara1998 generally lurks, but when she participates, she is hilarious!!!!!!! She can also hoist a cocktail with the best of them and is a loving mother, which I am unsure belong in the same sentence :laugh:

So, someone follow my lead.

NOTE - no negative things please.

ok i will go second
i love you all :xoxo:

LOL - good response :nod:

Is it just me, or does this thread smack of Elle Words and the snap cup :laugh: :laugh: - which I love BTW

dissention/josh is missed.. funny bitch, come back!

strandinthewind/jason is a snarky queen.. and i love it

jazmenflowers/jason loves mariah, barbra, etc.. therefore i love him.

macfanken/ken is hot (what? did you think i was just going to let that one slip by ;) )

oh yea..

brwn_eyes0511/brandon is hot as well.

Amber is one of the most hilarious people I've ever encountered. Ever. And her pop culture references slay me.

DavidMN is a sweetie-pie.

Amber is one of the most hilarious people I've ever encountered. Ever. And her pop culture references slay me.

DavidMN is a sweetie-pie.

Josh's brain gives me Mental O's.

Amber is an absolute rock of integrity- and a good soul, too.

Jason (strand) is such a kind-hearted man.

Sparky is a sweetheart.

Curtis would have been my boyfriend if I were 15 years younger.

Chuckie is adorable.

Hippocampus is my Secret Favorite Ledgie.

Brandon is a diamond in the rough.

Moony (Dan-O) will find his true love one day and he will deserve it.

Paula makes me smile (and not many people do that...)

I look up to Chris (gldstwmn) and I wish I had her courage.

which one?

you wouldn't happen to mean.. me .. would you? ;)

I did.

:eek: ;) :nod: :D

:o You're too sweet, Towie.

Well I suck at being sentimental so I shall say, there's quite a few ledgies that I admire and genuinely like. I'm sure you know who you are.

aww.. you are too sweet (i never thought i would say that about you.. but it's true)

now.. who wants to polish up this diamond? :wavey: :cool: ;)

Strandie has a wonderful way of making someone feel truely loved. Or truely hated... hahaha, it is a gift.

Ya know, Jason, I woke up madder-then-hell this morning, because I was up and hour-and-a-half early. But this truely made me smile! I love you, and I hope we can see eachother soon! Come to Disney with us! Only 24 days left.... (but who's counting?)

JannieC is a voice of reason here. She has a beautiful soul.
Amber is so .... over-rated... :laugh: but I love her charm and wit. ;)
Chris (gldstwmn) has risen from the ashes, and is truely a wise soul. I hope I can be like her when I grow up!

Brandon/mylittledemon - Has an amazing wit. Oh yeah and likes Sophie B. Hawkins ;)

David/DavidMn - One of the nicest people on the board - and got me into The Sundays :thumbsup:

Victoria/Miss Vicky - You may love "Time" - but you still rock ;) :D

Josh/dissention - Super snarky and super funny!!

Richard/Richard B. - One of the BEST tastes in music EVER!!!!

I would to go but can't - that whole I gotta work thing :mad: But, I am sure you all will have a blast!!!!!!!

Also, thanks for the kind words!

Livia- Because she always keeps us informed of any TM great seats that pop up and any Mac news in general.

Greatdarkwing (Alex)- Well, wherever he is (tap, tap) he can make me laugh. Remember Madison, Alex?

I started to reply to the topic but it will take me ages to write all the good points down. Which shows what a positive influence so many Ledgies are. :nod:

Hopefully later tonight I'll have time to post an epic response. Stay tuned and see if your name crops up in it. :laugh: Later... :wavey:

estranged4life- i love your bluntness & wit, & deep down i know you're a sweetie:xoxo: ~

BTFCHLD- you always have time it seems for everyone:nod: ~

amber- you are funny as hell & look great in "buns":thumbsup: ~

WelshWitchPMD- you undying love for lindsey inspires me:D ~

Goddess6- Always has some nice to say and most likely starts the birthday threads.:)

skcin (Paula)- for Sisters of the Boob.:lol: Need I say anymore?

Well, OK thanks. I still have hope that Lindsey will release a solo album and do a solo tour by the end of 2006. :lol:

MacMan- for the awesome banners and moving icons.

BTFCHLD- Also for the awesome moving icons.

Can one of you tell me how to make them?:laugh:

And you might not love "Time," but you rock too. :D

Let's see... positive things to say (so out of character for me):

Jim/Seeker007nmss and Jason/JazmenFlowers: You've been the best of help to me in improving my work and helping me through my chronic writer's block. And additionally for Jim, I just love all those fluffy animal pics.

Josh/Dissention: A shout out to my partner in crime and one of the funniest people I've ever encountered online or off.

Brian/JohnnyStew: You're The Ledge's best "Peacekeeper." :xoxo:

Steve/ChiliD: I admire your dedication to and near encyclopedic knowledge of music. The fact that you like Walter Egan, Billy Burnette, and Bekka Bramlett doesn't hurt either. ;)

More to follow as I think of them...

Maria- what an incredible thing to say- thank you. :xoxo:

Almost every one of you articulates MY thoughts so well, it's uncanny. I am so often amazed at the intelligence and thoughtfulness shown on this board. We'll be talking about some topic, and I find myself nodding my head, amazed at how *I* would have said the same thing, but *you* said it so much better!

thanks dear.

I like you for that reason as well...but also because you always make me giggle with some of your "comeback" posts and it's been really interesting to see you change over the past, what, year or so...
and when it's a big hit, I can't wait to come to one of your readings.

as for love for others...

jannieC is one of my best friends here. very sweet and smart and funny.
niki/btflchld is a bitch and a half and I love her...very creative and talented and caring
brandon/mylittledemon is a hot mess...and I stress both of those words. mucho love for that boy.
suzequze is sweet and funny and can keep up with all our crazy bitch asses.
johnnystew...well, what else can be said. he's my fellow partner in the Stevie Defense Brigade. 'nuff said.
curtis - miss him around here a lot. can always count on him to catch things I missed or take a good bitch punch to someone
paula - love her. so funny. so full of it. she's like one of the girls.

ChiliD - The man who brought me here in the first place. His musical knowledge is astounding and I know if I need any advice, especially musical, he's the man for the job. One of the daddies of the Ledge and a great friend. :nod:

Seteca - One of my closest friends I suspect forever. Never have we had a disagreement, ever. We have the same passions (Jack Daniels, fast cars and guitars to name just three :laugh: ) I trust him with my life.

Tuigirl - Once again somebody that has been incredibly generous towards me. Helped me out in some very difficult circumstances and I'll always be grateful for that. Another close friend although we do have many differing opinions and tastes. :laugh:

Wondergirl9847 - The two things about Christy that always amaze me are that she's an incredibly positive person whatever the situation and secondly she always sees the good in people. Never one to judge and always one to offer kindness. I look forward to seeing her again. (if only to watch her fall over :p :sorry: :laugh: )

SuzeQuze - Well Suzy, now a mod on the site and I can't think of anybody more suited to the role. She's non judgemental, articulate and caring with it. Another Ledgie that I now consider a friend outside of this website (and my "virtual" wife too ;) :laugh: ). A great human being.

Amber - What can you say about Amber that hasn't been said by somebody on here at some point in the past? Well, you are never left in doubt of her opinions and views. She can be straightforward and not afraid to show her feelings on a topic which is something I greatly admire. She's fiercely loyal to her friends and the best kisser on here (one of the few Ledgies that showers me in :xoxo: in reply to most of my posts!).If Suze is my virtual wife then Amber is my virtual mistress. lol.

trackaghost - Must add Sharon here too. I always value her posts and she's always got something constructive to say. A fellow Brit and somebody to moan about the London transport system to. haha

David - A man I value for his wit and wisdom. A man that can throw a random post in and enliven a stale thread. Plus he's the resident natural disaster expert so I expect a heads up when the time comes! haha.

DavidMn - One of our newer ledgies but has already developed his own take on the crazy world we live in. Whatever the subject David will have a point to make. He can inject humour into the most boring thread.

strandinthewind - Controversial at times but always through thought, discussion and reasoned arguement. He's also got the most disgustingly funny sense of humour.

Shackin'Up - Dear Gerald. A friend at times, a foe at others. His unique look at the band is refreshing and always a great force of discussion. His passion for LB amazes me still.

Mari - A fellow European and a great lady. Very honest and friendly. Doesn't post as often as she should, but they are great when she does.

WelchWitchPMD - I think Pattie is a very warm person. The fact she thanked everyone for her birthday wishes is proof of this. Always drops by to say hi on myspace too. Pattie seems to me very passionate about the band and LB in particular but in a serene kind of way. I hope for a birthday wish you get to see LB in concert very soon.

estranged4life - Brian, or Brain as he is sometimes spelled! Brian is an amazingly honest guy and sincere with it, he wears his heart on his sleeve. An amazing musical mind and occasionally controversial with his views. All the troubles he has had over the past couple of years we have all faced with him in spirit. He is one of those guys I'd like to have by my side when the **** goes down. A stand up guy.

BTFLCHLD - A ledgie I've chatted with occasionally and one I feel is a very kind person and again a sincere individual.

Sahara - one of the new kids on the block and I hate to admit it but the "younger generation" of fans (Am I really getting that old?). Only been on here a year but she's nearly overtaken my total of posts already. A great knowledgable head despite her years.

And all the others I've had conversations with and read over the past five years. The guys above are the ones I most converse with but you are all equally important to this board. Special mention to Carne Vaca too. The only ban I ever disagreed with since I came here.

I must of course add Marty and Lis for hosting this place for our mindless ramblings. Without them there wouldn't be an "us".

Ok, I can go back to my usual arguementative self now.. :wavey:

strandinthewind - you sort of remind me of Blanche Devereaux, if she'd been a gay man. And then, of course, there's your massive schlong. :D

dissention - I'm going to join in the dissention-love. I bought Blondie's Greatest Hits in part because of you. :nod:

moony - you're hot, but then I have a thing for swarthy latino boys.

sparky - a fellow Joni fan (yay!) and I loved his recent posts on the Stevie forum.

thetower - just general positive energy in the direction of thetower

brwneyes/brandon - two words: nice lips :D :laugh:

amber - general positive energy in the direction of amber

That's all for the moment...I'm late for work!!

Thanks Sharon :xoxo:

Don't know where Gerald is. Maybe he's had one too many disagreements with ChiliD? :shrug: I think we need to put an APB out for our Dutch friend. :nod:

Have a go at Lindsey and he will spring out and defend the Buck. :laugh: :laugh: Come on out Gerald!!! :blob2:

JannieC- brilliant, thoughtful posts! You are one of my favorite Ledgies by far.

JazmenFlowers- Something about your Stevie dedication really makes me respect you! Even though sometimes I think you may defend her blindly, there's still something about that that I kind of admire. You're a sweetie too.

David- I enjoy the wacky humor in your posts. Many people may consider you an erudite, which you are, but I think sometimes the humor gets overshadowed by the intellect---I'm here to tell you that I always find it. Well done.

Dissention- No other Ledgie has made me bust a gut laughing the way you do. I also think that you are one of the most misunderstood Ledgies on the board. I really think you have a heart of gold underneath that prickly exterior. I wish you would post more often.

Gldstwmn- You are incredibly level-headed and intelligent. I love your zingy "oneliners" too. Keep posting!

Livia- What can I say, my Austin compatriot? We need to hang out more often. You are sweet as pie and hilarious too.

Strand- You are one funny m.f. and I love your typos :laugh:.

SuzeQuze and Paula- I always zoom in on your posts because I know I'm always going to read something interesting and funny. You both have wicked senses of humor!

What a nice thread to start.

Strandie/Jason: You are a true southern gentlemen, a gentle giant and one cool bitch to hang out with. Thanks for all the wonderful memories. :xoxo:

Curtis: My first online boyfriend. A truly genuine person with a great sense of humor.

Ken: soft spoken and kind. I was nervous about you being my roommate last year since I didn't know you, but I'd do it again especially if you walk around in your boxer briefs. :D

DavidMN: just a nice all around person, with some great FM pics and experiences to share.

Mariel: funny, intellecutal and does a mean rendition of Nightbird.

Brit

Aw...love to you to, dear. :angel:

Oh, I'm all verklempt now. Thank you Towie. :xoxo: You are a wonderful, supportive person. :)

:xoxo: (((((gldstwmn))))

wow im really touched...
i had no idea id be mentioned...
and with such sweety comments.
thank you all very much...
making my day...week...month...
year and all :D :xoxo:

i truly do love you all
everyone brings so many cool
things about them to the ledge
why do you think i come so much :]

thanks dear. I appreciate that. I don't know what the blind part really means. does that mean no matter what? not sure, but I'll take it. I love reading your posts. I see a lot of my own thoughts in your posts.

Let's see...

David O.: Your comments about Fleetwood Mac consistently give me new ways to hear and enjoy their music. I think that's invaluable. Some folks may feel that it's patronizing to be told things they don't know; I'm always glad and grateful for a lesson. Also, easily the funniest person on here. By a long shot.

David M.: You have only respect for other people's opinions, whether they mesh with your own or not. Plus, you're always anxious to learn something new. Those are two traits I greatly admire in anyone.

Stew and Strand: Very often I don't agree with you on various things. But you always express your opinions thoughtfully and constructively, so I'll take the two of you over 20 people who think the same way I do, any day of the week. (Except Thursdays. Thursdays are "me" days. Just back the f*** off, jerks!)

Sharon, Steve D., cliffdweller, madformac, Paula, Boots and several other people whom I just can't think of at the moment: You almost always have something interesting to say. That's about the highest compliment I can give anyone on an Internet message board.

Marty and Lis (and John/wetcamelfood): I can't imagine there are many better or more comprehensive fan sites out there. Thanks as always for all of the hard work and dedication.

Dissention, Steve MacD., Gerald: Post more, you bastards.

Anybody whom I forgot or didn't mention can go to hell. I'll meet you there and buy the first round.

Awww.....
 

That's really sweet, J. Thank you. (((HUGS)))

Sheesh. There are so many amazing Ledgies here, I would feel bad if I left anyone out. Everyone here has great qualities and brings something to the table that's interesting, funny, thought-provoking, heart-warming and even just silly.

Let me just say a few things about some Ledgies I've had the privilege of meeting in person.

Seteca - Love him like a brother. It's so awesome to meet a stranger who becomes one of your greatest friends. He's got great knowledge on all things guitar and he's a good soul.

Madformac - Remember that night we spent together? LMAO!! Inside joke, everyone. Heh. MFM is another good soul who I can't wait to hang out with again (no stairs involved please). VERY laid back and easy to talk to.

estranged4life (Brian) - Brian showed what a wonderful friend he is when he schlepped my mom and I around in OKC when we went up to see Keith Urban. He's a marshmallow of a guy. ((HUGS)) to Brian. Cool as hell.

tuigirl (Michele) - Sweet as she can be and a total mom. :laugh: Love to my Kiwi friend.

shackin' up (Gerald) - Love his passion. Gerald is the type of guy that if you aren't really feeling up to something, he'd MAKE you wanna be into it. :)

GypsyRhiannon (Pip) - Who doesn't love Pip?! She gave us the heads up on FM front row tickets and tried to help me out when I was having trouble getting them. Pip is awesome. :thumbsup:

nodmod (Neil) - Cool as a cucumber. Great guy who runs a terrific UK FM site.

strandinthewind (Jason) - Tall as frick! LOL I'm a shortie though so everyone's tall to me. :laugh: We only got to meet in Dallas for a minute, but he hugged me so that told me how sweet Jason is. :)

Livia - Met super briefly in Dallas and the Woodlands shows. Super friendly and brings us all kinds of terrific FM news here. Forgot to add...AND she's a Texan. YAY! LOL

gldstwm (Chris) - Another Ledgie I met briefly in Dallas. Super nice and does her mod job well.

darklinensuit (Jake) - We miss ya around these parts, Jake! "Shane, come back!" LOL Met Jake in Dallas and at the Woodlands show. Makes me laugh and is super cool. :cool:

Tommer - Met him in London. As chill as you think he would be. Asked me for some gum....and I actually had some! LOL Where is Tommer?

trackaghost (Sharon) - So sweet and friendly when I met her in London. Love reading her intelligent posts here.

If I left anyone out....:sorry: . Jog my memory!!

Gee thanks.
 

I don't plan on going to hell, but thanks for the offer.

:lol:

;)

Need to add someone I've not met in person, but is still my friend. Wetcamelfood (John)....sweet guy who always has time to email even when he's super busy. Did (and is still doing!) an amazing job on the Penguin Discography. CHEERS John and thanks for the Scotland keychains!

Thanks, sweets. We've had our differences but despite all that (or perhaps because of it?), I really respect your opinions and responses and THAT'S the highest compliment I can give on an internet message board! ;)

I forgot about Jake! Of course I love Jake, Jakes needs to get his ass back on over here pronto!

Pretty much, but don't take offense! We need the die-hards on the boards, it's what makes the Stevie-world go 'round! :laugh:

:wavey:
