Praise someone you know in this thread. Talk about how wonderful they are

[Bouncy Ball]

Go on, you know you want to. Inject a bit of happiness into your day and think of someone you truly admire and/or love and praise them to the skies here! Go all out! No adjective too over the top, no praise too long!

It doesn't have to be someone in your family or someone you know really well, maybe it's just someone you see every day and exchange a few words with but they are just a wonderful, glorious person and you want to sing their praises.

Go on.....

6. My boss really rocks...and I hope she doesn't want to fire me!

My boss is fair, gives great Christmas bonuses, and says thank you every time I do what she pays me to do. She gives money to charities, likes animals and children...

plus, she's a Democrat!!

I keep thinking one day she'll wake up one day and have to lay me off.
:(

[Bouncy Ball]

9. My boss is AWESOME

He's a Democrat and a huge liberal and I love talking crap about bush and fundies with him.

27. You just described my wife to a T!

Shes also openminded, incredibly compassionate, sharpwitted, full of laughter and emotion. She lets me do just about anything I want to do without too much fuss and if she doesnt like it she tells me in a noncombative reasonable manner. She also knows how to be gracious in defeat and gives me my props when Im right about something (it happens 3 or 4 times a year!).

I always wonder If I am good enough for her and I pray that I become more like her everyday.

8. Here's mine

It's Mr. Bouncy. He's one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. He works hard for his family and is incredibly selfless. He has a heart about ten times bigger than normal because he just cares so much about everyone.

He loves our daughter with a fierce passion I've rarely seen in anyone. I swear he'd fight grown lions for her. He brings me coffee in the morning. He calls me just to say he misses me. I catch him smelling my hair all the time. In the morning, before he goes to work (he leaves REALLY early) he sits there on the bed, staring at me.

On Friday evenings, he comes home from work and yells "I'M TAKING MY WOMEN TO IHOP!" (His favorite place to eat.)

When I call him, he answers the phone with "Hi lover" just to make me laugh.

He's into simple pleasures and is easy to please. Some coffee, a computer game or a good movie, a nice blanket, or a trip somewhere he's never been and he's in heaven.

He's collecting state quarters "for the grandbabies." What a mushy guy.

I could go on, but you all probably have cavities now.

10. How did you meet him?

How did you know you'd be Mrs. Bouncy one day?

Always like hearing those stories.

[Bouncy Ball]

12. Oh I met him in a nasty country and western bar! LOL!

It was the summer of 1990 and he was in Dallas on weekend pass from Ft. Hood, where he was stationed. I was home for the summer from A&M and literally saw him across the room and thought he was GORGEOUS HOT. We eventually met, talked and danced for four hours, kissed outside and I literally got dizzy and weak at the knees and I gave him my phone number.

He called me the next day and arranged to come back to Dallas for our first date. That first date was when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait.

Two weeks later, he asked me to marry him and I said yes. Four weeks after that he went to Saudi Arabia for six months. He was hurt, got a Purple Heart, sent back to Ft. Hood and nine months after that, we got married. (I was 21 and he was 23 when we married.)

Meeting him was just total random chance. The name of the place we met was the Good Luck Bar and Rodeo. ROFL!

[tjdee]

17. That's so sweet. Within 2 weeks he asked you to marry him?? Wow.

Very nice story--is he still active military, or after you get a Purple Heart are you out forever? I don't know how it works.

[Bouncy Ball]

18. He stayed in for another few years after that.

He was ok after a while. He was in a total of 11 years, decided he had "been all he could be" and was VERY burned out on the military (he had been an Army brat, too) and got out. He doesn't regret it--next year would have been 20 years and he most definitely would be in Iraq right now!

:scared:

11. BerthaVenation.

Kim is an absolutely AWESOME person, and I love her threads and kitty pictures. I never fail to look at a thread with her nickname on it, and never regret looking.

:D

[Bouncy Ball]

13. Awwww!

Me, too! She is truly a great person.

[miss_kitty]

16. I love how she named the ass-kicking kitten

SKITTLES!

[Bouncy Ball]

19. Yeah that was classic.

And such a cute name for a cat!

[Nevernose]

24. Her kitty threads make me want to puke

And I read every thing I see her post -- even the kitty pictures.

Intelligent, witty, and down-to-earth -- a truly class act.

And it took me six months to figure out that "Bertha" wasn't her first name, but part of a pun. :)

[derbstyron]

20. How about someone from DU

Fuzzy Slippers!

The name always makes me smile.

And the compassion and kindness that has been shown to me by "Fuzzy" (I hope we are on a first name basis) has been amazing to me.

[RevCheesehead]

21. I think Bouncy Ball is the only person I know on this thread.

And that's just in passing...

But I like Bouncy Ball! Great humor, strong mind, and doesn't take crap from her neighbors.

:)

[Bouncy Ball]

22. Ah, I love you too

ya cheesehead!

Is there someone you know in your day to day life you'd love to praise to the skies?

[RevCheesehead]

23. Yes. Oreo, Binky, and Roo.

Three of the most faithful furry beasts ever known to humanity.

(and Binky just jumped up here to say hello!)

They let me sing, rant, rejoice, cry, cheer and complain without judgment. They know when I feel bad, and they instinctively reach out to me. They are loyal, and are usually in the same room I am in...just because they want to.

They are one of the best things to happen in my life, and I love them.

25. My college friend Lucius, in Boston. We talked politics all the time.

When I was going out to PA (for a dog show of all things) I got the idea that I should do some volunteer work for Kerry. He liked the idea and wouldn't let me get off of that and took time off from his work to come down to PA to meet me and do volunteer work. He did way more than me and he has given way more money to JK and Dem causes, ACT, Moveon etc. even though I'm pretty sure I make a lot more money than him (although I am supporting a wife and about 3 billion animals). This despite the fact that I think Lucius ultimately has a much more pessimistic outlook about America and things in general than I do--he felt that trying to resist Bushco is so important that he needed to give so much of his money and time, of himself.

(on edit) And continues to do so, despite our crushing disappointment.

He continues to be involved through Brookline Peaceworks and other groups. Through his flame of enthusiasm maybe some of mine can be rekindled a little after this debacle.

[Bouncy Ball]

26. What a great testimony for a wonderful person!

[Zomby Woof]

28. I won't single anyone out

I love you all equally. Too bad there isn't a bed big enough for all of us. I'd still hog the sheets though. :P
