TE rocks (inspired by Queer Eye thread)

[bmccasland]

Today as I pulled in the driveway I could see a prezzie sticking out of my mailbox. and the return address was "Team Traveling Pants Mid-Atlantic HQ"
I had to think a minute WHO it would be from. Of course TE came to mind. Then I opened it... some nifty BLUE bike shorts, chocolate, and other goodies, all wrapped in SNOW wrapping paper. I got to see snow this year!! (sort of)

THANK YOU ZEN!!!

(I had sent her some x-country wool ski pants that don't fit me & I don't live in snow country anyway. I did not expect anything in exchange, but apparently she had some new blue bike shorts that didn't quite fit right).

Oh, and Callie kitty thanks you for the wrapping paper toys. Some has been shredded, and some I wadded in a ball, that skitters across the floor nicely when batted. Good aerodynamics.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The quality of posting, sensitivity to others, knowledge base and diversity on TE are unparalled in any of the other part of cyberspace. I too, have friends around the world, have gotten gifts from Austrailia (CC you're a doll) and have had a few with the girls in Seattle and Bruno of course. There's no where else on the www that I would rather hang.

Don't know why, but I don't always get along so well with other women. Sometimes I feel like I was raised by wolves and didn't learn the secret handshake or something.

Funny, I have the same issue with men...

But time and time again I come to TE for some positive conversation, mutual support of all kinds of goals, and coffee-snorting humor.

I think the distinction here is that TE has people who are deep in their perspective on things. Some are intellectually deep, others are athletically deep, but my sense is that there is a generally deep thread of character and integrity that permeates this forum.

Token guy thoughts....

I just wanna say it'll be really really cool to meet KG & T plus many of the Van/Vic and possibly Seattle chickies when me n mah man visit Canuckland!

It's great knowing so many cool folks!

I also appreciate all the support everyone gives eachother round here! It makes a huge difference in recovering and getting back out doing what one loves!

Okay, I thought I posted this today, but it's not here, but if it's somewhere else, forgive the redundancy...

I've watched vitriolic folks come and go... because the flames eventually were tempered. They just get overwhelmed with that sanity stuff. I'm (usually ) more careful about what I type because I LIKE the sensitivity, even if I have to oh, stifle the PERFECt righteous rejoinder now and again. (WHat? Discussing which *car* you want? Those evil things )
I spend more time at Moderation Central's Board, though, mainly 'cause I find more conversations that I want to jump into... and 'cause I like challenging the force fields there.
