Ledgie Appreciation
 

There was a thread like this years back, but after a few searches, I've given up trying to find and bump it. Basically the idea is to give some kudos to posters whose contributions you usually enjoy, and maybe make someone's day in the process :D

That said, here we go!

Holidayroad- I love that you post a Lindsey Buckingham photo every day. I don't say much in that thread, but it's makes me really happy to know that there's always something new to see.

Butter Cookie- Aside from just personally adoring you, I love that you add some balance to the forum. There aren't enough major Chris fans who post often.

HejiraNYC- We've bickered, but I like that you always pop up in the political threads and add a perspective that I actually think is worth paying attention to :laugh:

Zombie- I almost didn't include you because I'm trying not to be clique-y with this, but you're just so damn brilliant I can't resist. Your posts always make me think. ~You make me better~

Thank you, LikeAWillow!! I'm glad you like the photos!!

They're great! I just think it's so cool that you do that :woohoo:

Another one...

JannicC- You're the only mod I can actually name, which deserves kudos all on its own, but also you just kind of rock. You let people get away with just enough to keep it interesting :lol: but not enough that things get out of control. And your family is ridiculously cute.

Kudos to SortaSavageLike for posting hilarious Stevie pic captions...and for starting the amazing Stevie Of Death thread.

And for anyone else who has ever said anything witty. :D I don't like playing favorites - I honestly really like most people on here. :)

I appretiate those of you that I'm friends with on Facebook (ButterCookie, LikeAWillow, etc.) and a few others of you I can't quite name off the top of my head (I think I swallowed too much water swimming today lol).

So, does anyone appreciate me and my wackiness? :(

I'm not playing favorites at all; I'm just trying to make people smile and spread some love on a Friday before a holiday (for most of us.) I'm also going to reply to everyone who posts in here with something that I want to thank them for.

In your case, it's for being the first to shoot down the new troll. :laugh: That was great.

Psh, always. You know that your song titles in the bizarro world thread made my life :woohoo: I'm also a big fan of your Long Island stories haha Actually I'm also a big fan of your town's iced tea, but we'll keep that for another thread.

I appreciate a lot of The Ledgies! Almost everyone adds something to the boards that would be really missed if they were gone. I'm sure I'll leave someone out when I say this!

chiliD- I'm sure a lot of people think he's just here to disagree with us (:laugh:) but he really has a lot of great knowledge about Fleetwood Mac and other music, as well. He's nicer than he wants everyone to know about!:thumbsup:

chriskisn- I'm never going to love Dave Walker like he does, but he is great to discuss Pre-Rumours FM with!

jaycee-Intelligent and so very nice. I've had a lot of discussions with him about a wide variety of subjects. He's a very appreciative person and a great asset to The Ledge.

LikeAWillow-Thanks for not thinking my ideas about privacy/safety on The Ledge were off the wall. Your posts are always insightful!

tilthefirefades-It's always interesting to read your posts. You always have a lot of great ideas!

Of course, tons of appreciation to the moderators (jannieC, Johnny Stew,#1LiddyBuckFan, Mario, Livia) and to michelej1 for putting up with all of us!!

APerfectLie- You're really good at interpreting Dave Stewart's tweets and giving some really great opinions on what you think will happen with this new album.

Which reminds me...

apprecation for louielouie2000 for matching my strange cynicism mixed with hidden dreams for the new album perfectly. You're also always really eloquent, and I think you help make concepts clearer for a lot of us.

CADreaming- FOR BEING A SHIPPER! :xoxo:

I'll be honest, I never had the iced tea at all, butI'm glad you like my silly stories of where I live. As I think about it, it is kinda funny when you think about it, where else do you know where everything is built on top of each other and there is literally only one way out of there?

Oh yeah, and I like you holidayroad. Aside from having the name of the theme song from one of my favorite comedies (National Lampoon's vacation), your Lindsey pic thread has something for me to look foward to (and make silly comments on, speaking of which, hope you don't mind my Back to the Future reference from today) every day.

Louie-For basically just being the love of my life.

Viv-For being my first friend on here, and always being super nice to me. And for the nuggets threads.

Vicky-For being extra bitchy to me when I needed it, and being a great friend. Who is also a very talented writer, and nightbird gypsy xoxoxoxo

Aperfectlie-For supplying all the info that no one else can, and spamming twitter and facebook with Stevie lyrics that make my day :D

And really, I like everyone too, to an extent. Mostly, I just love this forum, and I hope everyone has a great 4th of July :xoxo:

See to me, that's less funny than it is just absolutely terrifying :laugh:

What about the dark skinned lady?

And you always have the best photos for us, and arguably the best user name :thumbsup:

Oh yeah, I'm not anti appreciation threads or any of that. :) I just don't like naming names cause I always forget somebody. But anyway, LikeAWillow, I LOVE your shipper videos...they make me feel all fuzzy inside. Can't wait for the next ones.

True facts. And for the new Jeremy Spencer interview.

Tilthefirefades, this is less about posts and more about the fact that you have great taste in music and are from KY. That just doesn't happen often :lol:

It's not that terrifying once you get used to it. Now terrifying is when some dumbass using both hands to text while driving is almost gonna plow into you while driving at 65 MPH.

Ha, I thank Denise of the St. Francis hotel for putting up with Danielle and my antics that night. I do not thank you, sir, for posting an ugly picture of me, though! :eek: :lol:

:o:o:o:o:o
Thank you for the kind words.













Hey, now wait a minute....don't be sayin' stuff like that, you'll ruin my reputation! ;) :D

Dude, I knew you were a sweet heart the day I converted you to Joe Joe's. I thank you for acting as our neighborhood curmedgeon, though :lol:

Speaking of Joe Joe's, Marissa, I'm still not gonna eat 'em on account of them being from Trader Joe's.

Which reminds me...it's about time for a Trader Joe's run! :thumbsup:

....and that's why you'll miss out on the joy of appreciating me for changing your life. Sorry, boo :cool:

truer words were never spoken. (or typed, for that matter)

You changed my life in other ways, such as...better yet, wait for me to send a Facebook PM to you about this one.

Aww Maris!:xoxo:

Obviously LikeAWillow - I love reading your posts in proper English that are just great all round. Arguing for or against or agreeing I get excited when I know something eloquent is waiting for me :D

iamnotafraid - Your april fool this year genuinely made me LOL and for that you're on the list forever.

vivfox - I love your pictures and all the fantastic audio you find but I never feel like my thankyou's are enough for all the time you spend searching but ima say it again here anyway, Thankyou Viv! :thumbsup:

Zombie - You love Labyrinth, I love you. Your posts brighten my Ledge time, every time :wavey:

goldustsongbird - I still owe you one for giving me the link to your mediafire! Your posts never fail to make me snigger uncontrollably with wit and/or sarcasm. The latter of which is my favourite thing... ever.

nailatixela - I want to thank you for shooting down the troll too! And for that friggen awesome Christine show and for just being all round awesome! I love reading your posts :lol:

MissLadyLoki - Cassie you crack me up and there's no quicker way to befriend me. Your stories are friggen awesome and so is the fact that you agree there is definitely some Chris/Liddy love down the line. I truly thought Rowan and I were the only ones.

oh man, I can't do this, I love you all in your own special ways! Seriously, thankyou guys for making this place somewhere I want to stick around!

Hahaha this is true, most people here don't even know who Stevie Nicks is...or Fleetwood Mac...until Go Your Own Way comes on the radio.

One more thanks for calling me Maris :laugh: No one ever does, and it makes me really happy.

And Georgie, I forgot to mention this, but I love your Christine Tumblr. Those pics rock and some of the captions are funny (like the one about her and Lindsey getting a bit too cozy).

And to SortaSavageLike for those hilarious Stevie captions. Those Pull My Finger ones never fail to make me laugh.

I know she's gone, but here's one out to StreetAngel95, aka Miranda, for sharing my mutual love for the hotness that is Lindsey and never failing to crack me up with her quest to sleep with him.

I kinda wrinkled my nose at the thought of this being a popularity thread, but then I realized I was looking at it the wrong way. It's always a good thing to tell other folks what we admire about them.

ChiliD- Without a doubt, the best source of Mac knowledge online. His crankiness always slaps the right people upside the head when they need it the most! (myself included! :cool:)

ButterCookie: Your sense of humor never fails to have me rolling! You're a lot of fun... and a very fresh breath of air around here!

LukeA: Definitely cuts through the BS when the dreamers get a bit too far out in left field.

APerfectLie: I always enjoy reading your take on things. We definitely interpret things similarly... maybe it's a Texas redhead thing? :laugh:

VivFox: You're a fun, kooky source of info, always positive. :nod:

SapphireSister: Is definitely on the other side of the mirror... and I wanna visit sometime! :lol:

Daniellaaarisen: My younger, straight female carbon copy. It's scary, really.

Musicman408: I love your eternal happiness and optimism. You don't let anybody swat you down... and that's admirable! :nod:

LikeAWillow: I don't know you as well as I'd like, but I identify with and love everything I know! And it has to be said... I'm a BIG ole homo: but I'd hit it! :xoxo: :laugh: ;)

tilthefirefades: Even though you deny my advances, you'll marry me one of these daze! :lol:

michelej1: a great source of info, and fantastic dry wit on occasion! :thumbsup:

Miss_Vicky: I have YOU to thank for FINALLY getting me to appreciate Bekka. You have *NO* idea how big of an accomplishment that is! :laugh: Plus, you're damned fun to talk trash with! :p

jannieC: The perfect moderator: very laid back, a bit quirky, and ever positive.

Dodfather: Haven't heard much from you lately (I know you've been crazy busy), but it's fun to have another guy around here who loves the quirky '80s like me!

MyLittleDemon: It's always fun to goof off with you! Another retro loving friend! :thumbsup:

I know I'm forgetting people... I guess I'll just have to make another post! :p

You truly just made my day, Louie. Thank you so much for including me and you have a place to stay anytime you want to come over to my side! :xoxo:

Best compliment I've ever received? Probably. :xoxo: Tell me you think Bono's hot and I'll take the threesome I was planning in another thread and turn it into an orgy for you.

SapphireSister: Joking thanks to you for voting the right way in the Wild Heart thread ;) Actual serious thanks for all the help you gave in the demos/outtakes thread. That had to have taken up time and was really sweet.

My pleasure. One of my greatest joys in life is spreading the Stevie love. Oh and you're not so bad yourself! I always enjoy reading what you have to say. :xoxo:

Damn, don't you people know that I really DO have a reputation to uphold around here? Threads like these expose my soft & sappy side. :mad:

Thanks to:

Marty & Lis Adelson - for creating this place...and...

michelej for taking on the awesome responsibility when Lis & Marty wanted out.

wetcamelfood - for always looking for that rare Fleetwood Mac related disc/tape/record...no matter HOW thinly related to FMac it is. And, for his selflessness in keeping the Penguin Discography as accurate as possible.

David - my partner in Ledgie crime for seemingly ever....and the first Ledgie I ever met in person. How did we go to so many of the same Fleetwood Mac related concerts and never meet? How did we go all those years living less than 2 miles from each other and never seeing each other?? No wonder some of the newer people around here think we're one in the same person.

Miss Vicky - thanks for "having my back" in the countless Time lineup threads that get out of hand. Plus, it's rare to run into a co-Walter Egan nut.

DavidMn - my birthday share-er & "keeper of the flame". When I finally retired from the blindless Fleetwood Mac concert going, you took up the practice and increased it 10-fold. Your "road stories" were and always will be looked forward to with great anticipation.

holidayroad - for always getting me to admit that, yeah, despite it all Lindsey is a pretty unique (uh..{wince} "good") guitarist.

LukeA - gotta love a cynic...despite our disagreements over the years, and still seeing things from nearly opposite sides, it just wouldn't be the same without ya.

Hayley - you rarely post anymore, but for the times "back in the day".

michelle2677 for restoring in me the faith that not ALL Stevie Nicks fans are "Chiffonheads". :thumbsup:

LikeAWillow ok, this is new, but the Joe Joe's thing is a really good start. :wavey: And, thanks for appreciating my "curmudgeon-ness".

HomerMcVie - I don't know...I just wanted to type "HomerMcVie". :laugh: We'll talk later.

chriskisn - for always keeping Dave Walker in the hearts & minds of our fellow Ledgies

louielouie2000 - more than just sometimes you are the recipient of my "head slap backhands", but if I didn't think you'd take 'em, I wouldn't pick on you so much. You've grown leaps & bounds, grasshopper. (especially when Victoria & I team up on you....Right, Vicky?)

And, to the rest of you...we ALL make this place what it is...so thank YOU!!


And, to my whole long list of Ledgie co-horts from yesteryear who've either decided to move on by their own discretion or who were forceably banned from the joint. I miss you.

Oh....AND...a big thanks to the on-line Fleetwood Mac community as a whole...since there is a big crossover from one site & one message board to another...so, to the owners past & present of those "other sites"....thank you, too.

And, finally, to my beautiful wife, Susan, who I met here on The Ledge way back in '97 (and who unfortunately eventually ended up one of the "banned"), I love you!


DISCLAIMER: If I don't mention somebody by name, and you think I should have, be patient, I most likely will before this thread dies out.

Why thank you kind sir!!

Hey louie!! Yeah, I was just getting to this thread andyou're on my list too! LOVE the 80s and we see to have a very similar, often worong (hehe!) sense of humour!

louieloui2000, mylittledemon, cornflakegirl (LAUREN!), daniellaarisen, babba_fleetwood, likeawillow, and so, so, so ma ny more. This forum ROCKS!!

Apologies for any spelling errors. I'm pretty drunk right now.

louie and demon - I think we should form a Ledgie 80s tribue band! Who are our influences and what shall we call ourselves?! You guys up for it??

I'm mostly only here for the trolling and laughs, so big thanks to nailatixela, LikeAWillow, ButterCookie, Louie, Michelle, chili, iamnotafraid... I'm probably forgetting lots... and holidayroad, thanks for all the amazing Lindsey info, and especially for working out what Lindsey was singing at the end of The Challenge, I can honestly say I lost sleep over that :lol: And Miranda, I miss her so :shocked:

It's fine with me that you make silly, funny, (or any!) comments on the pics. I certainly didn't mind the BTTF3 reference. The Back To the Future trilogy is another of my favorite things!!

:laugh: High praise, indeed! :rolleyes:

Lessee, I hate these things, because I always forget a couple people, then feel badly about it.

I know I'm old school Ledgie here, having taken a three year hiatus, and only returning a short time ago. So, most of my peeps are old school Ledgies, too, from 2003-2007.
Michellebunchofnumbersaftername - great friend, especially in my time of need. We finally got to meet a couple of weeks ago, but it wasn't like a meeting....because as far as I'm concerned, we already knew each other.
Sara1998 - just about the same situation....we met the same day, and Maria feels like a friend I've had my entire life. We just instantly clicked.
David O. - known him forever. He pulled me to the Ledge, back in 2003, from Usenet newsgroups. If he'd just quit talking about Beethoven!
ChiliD - another longtime Ledgie friend. I'm so jealous of all the Turner owners on here!:mad:
jbrownsjr- awesome Christine fan, and a gentle soul. Always a pleasure.
Macfan57 - Mary Anne. She's not around much anymore, as her primary interest is Christine(as is mine, but I hang around still, for the Ledgies(sp) - Bill, what a great guy and musician!
bretonbanquet- James, my favorite Brit, even if they do ruin everything!!!!
BuckyMcNicks- awesome musician, and resident peacock loving freak!
Steven MacDougal- great guy, that I've known since the Usenet days, too. Good egg, even if he is obsessed with GBV.
Miss Vicky - we were almost enemies, for the longest time, but we just had too damned much in common, to not become friends.
Skcin- Paula, great Ledgie, who finally has a real life!
Gold Dust Drummer - Shawna, we may be new friends, but it was a pleasure meeting you. Can't wait until we can do it again. If July doesn't come together, let's all make August!
Streetdreamer Matt - nice Ledgie, who appreciates FM, not just the Stevie years!

Okay, I'm sure I'm forgetting a few, and I apologize!
