And you too.
For what, you might ask?
Simply for being you.
For being the kind of people I love to wake up and see in the morning...or hate to wake up and see in the morning...or consider a total ass and wish I didn't see in the morning...
Thank you.
Because without you (and yes, even you) I wouldn't have anyone to talk to...except Scar...and he's spending all his time outside lately...and I'm tired of talking to myself because I always know what I am going to say (well, most of the time I know what I am going to say...).
So thank you.
That is all.

@enlightenedpsych2 you have a sweet cat, the kitty of my neighbors is lovely when he wants something, but when he has finished eating he runs away without a thank you.

i was beginning to wonder if there are other people here that you could see with all that "you, too" and "yes, even you.''
i'm trying to drop by more since i notice it's one week to cut-off. wouldn't hurt to top up my earnings.
i appreciate the people who are honest and real, the good, the bad and the ugly, warts and all that jazz.

You do okay, until you start answering your own questions.
I have done that myself, and then I would think that I better not do that, as no one will hear me, and I must be crazy to talk to myself when no one else is around to talk back. I do talk to my dogs, and they will bark back at me and wag their tails. Not sure they understand me, though, but at leazst they will listen.

@JolietJake That would scare me too. I end up answereing myself all the time, and then I realize that no one is hearing me when I ask the question, but me, so I better stop asking myself all the questions that I answer.

Might've been a mild case of heatstroke, 82 degrees, 73% humidity and no a/c at 3 in the morning does that to me

You've absolutely no idea how far your good morning and coffee salutes go in a day! I've always been a fan, and when you aren't around nobody even comes close to being as hysterically funny or, on occasion, as grouchy, like you! Its good that you're back, so thank you!

@JolietJake I've never taken anything that you've written as another rant, which we've all ready many of and let's face it, we can all make our own pretty easily. You tend to get the point across in a way that many of us can understand, no induendoes, just a straight shooter. I remember your snake discussion had such graphic pictures that I could barely get thru the discussion, and I'm still waiting to see some pictures of the crane-I took some of the blue heron yesterday and will post it later on today. There's a challenge for ya........

It's hard sometimes to be grouchy and yet still use a bit of levity in a post to keep it from becoming one long string of curses...
G'mornin' ma'am

You're welcome and thank you for taking care MyLot against scammers and violators. Although I didn't understand some of your posts (even if how I tried to understand the words you had written and the thoughts of your discussion)
but I'm very happy to have you here as one of the most active members in MyLot. With your presence the site is always alive.

Yeah, some of the times my thoughts are laced with parts that aren't easily understood by different cultures, I use some sayings that are 'Americanisms' or I use double-speak to hide what I am really saying...but for the most part, I try to let everyone know what I mean.

It's too hot to deal with...I really didn't feel like cooking breakfast, but a man's gotta eat. I'm okay in front of the fan, but moving away from it kind of bites.

At first, I wondered whether all those thankyous were allowed here and then I see you didn't end it there. That's a good thing, I'm thinking. Thanks for being around when things are slow around here, that means there's always something new to read if people know where to look.

Yeah, just by themselves, that wouldn't have qualified for a discussion...
'Know where to look' is the key...I think many people only check who they follow, I always check the main list
