Thank you Kiara.. I like your posts.. you often say what I mean.. but in a more civil tone than I can manage..
Helen.. you are still "Queen of the Round Table".. to me.. and I mean that in a Very Good Way.. you cut and slice with neat precision. I admire your command of the English language.

OH Ya MAGGIE!!!
Well, if we're joined at the hip how can you
kiss my butt!
Just kidding! Couldn't resist a good line....besides THAT IS me being nice!
All right....I'll be nice...after all, I was once back in 1982 or 83...not sure of the year....
I can't help it that pompous asp holes with tunnel vision and shriveled souls brings out the "devil" in me. I'm so ashamed..........NOT!
I forgot to add something nice...let's see...uh...towards the end of your opening post you are verrryy ...tactful.

What a lovely post, Maggie! You have mentioned all of the people that I find so interesting and that I would like to call my friend too.
A very special welcome to you, maggiemuggins and crowfarm!!! You have both impressed me so much with your delightful sense of humor and insight.

My boyfriend loves this board! When I'm crabby, I can post here and get all my crabbiness out of the way! LOL!
Nice thread maggie! You do make me laugh, I have to say that, and have far more courage than I have. Even twelve has given me a chuckle or two. And get this, on a rare occassion, twelve and I even agree. I know, I know, it's enough to make you want to drop over.
Yes, Linda is very tenacious and doesn't veer from her path very often. However, you know what they say about the path less taken.
Helen, what can I say, your posts actually gave me the courage to start posting here in the first place. We've disagreed from time-to-time, but for the most part we agree. A few disagreements along the way is a good thing. Keeps it interesting!
Crowfarm, you old devil you, I have a couple of neighbors I wish I could send you to talk to.
KD, is great what more can I say? Same with prof and dave. You know the debate is getting good when dave and prof join the discussion.
Yeager, bunni, yellow, neroter and all the rest of you - it's been fun, informative, infuriating and just plain stress relieving! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Almost as good as a weekly massage. Notice I said "almost".

Cheryl, my dh gets mad if he see's sitting here putzing around too much. Just has to find something that happens to need done at right now at this time! LOL!!@ I just told him to leave me alone, he is a pain in my az!!
Aw, your too kind. Right now Ken wouldn't think so. He's in the mood to go for a bike ride tonight in the woods with all the furry night creatures lurking around and I'm not so he's mad I'm making him go alone! Tomorrow is Tiffany's 6th birthday and I don't need to have the bejesus scared out of me tonight! LOL!

Thanks Cheryl! I feel the same about you, Helen and everyone else you listed. You're always right on the money in my opinion!
I also really like Linda, Bear, Near, Twelve and the rest of the (wrong) righties. They come up with some great topics that have allowed me to use my deep breathing techniques to control my throbbing jugular veins. I'm a better person because of them.
Oh, and I can't forget Kiara & Fenix - two more people I admire.

Lol KD! I love this thread. Sometimes when we are so focused on one bad apple, we tend to forget all the fantastic people here!!! You're tops!
Wow! Cheryl... A bike ride at night and you are only scared of furry creatures??? Here, the fearful creatures are boogie men on park paths night and day.
It's actually in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (about 1/2 hour away). The towpath runs along side of the old Ohio Erie Canal. It's a great place during the day. Although it's pretty safe, it's very, very dark at night. During the day, the Blue Heron and deer are everywhere. Right now it's mostly doe and their fawn, but it's still a sight to see.
What's really great is there are many old locks still in place. They do demonstrations from time to time even though there is not much water in the canal anymore.
Lock 37:
The towpath (why I don't ride there at night - spooky after dark):
I'm headed out there Monday from 7pm-9pm for a hike along the Buckeye Trail. It's 5.5 miles through pretty rough terrain. Should be interesting. I'll take along a first aid kit.

Just a notice, while we're in here having a pleasant conversation, PooBear is out there trying desperately to start a fight.
Shall we ignore his pathetic attempt at getting attention? Let's.

I may not jump into a lot of the cat fights,but just want to say that I really enjoy clicking on the links many of you post and reading the articles. There is a lot of great information shared on this board. I really like the pictures too.

What's the matter Twelve? No one paying you the least bit of attention? I think I will just sit back and let you dig yourself deeper and deeper.. LOL. You are so predictable... you couldn't resist turning this thread into another mud slinging bout could you.. but you have only succeeded in showing your ass again in public.. LOL...
Everyone here knows you for what you are...
but since I want to keep this thread gentle and kind. Let me praise you... for being the Greatest.. gutter mucker on the board...

A perfect example of Helen's great language skills! She can slice and dice with such sharp precision.. that the fruit doesn't even realize he has been pureed!

Lets see maggienuthins (plsmith) your worshipping of helen is admirable... moronic but admirable... helen hasn't left her front door in years...
however this thread coming from you was laughable at best... but hey if I am going deeper, it is just to meet you honey...
How about explaining your closet anti-homosexuality maggienuthins... that was certainly some kind and gentle words...
At least I am open about it...
AIN'T LIFE GRAND...

Thank you Twelvetrolls... such nice comments from you were totally unexpected. I take it this is your olive branch to me? Well.. I knew you would eventually come around and see the light and I've known all along that you have had a secret crush on me..
Now we can be best friends and stroke each other every chance we get okay?
Hey Everybody! I've got a new admirer...Twelves looooovvveeeesss ME!

Twelve, I have Maggie on ignore and you should, too. Even Helen and Crowfart occasionally make valid points, although at times few and far between. Maggie just spews, ignore her.

So I got back into town this morning and I have stopped by to see how everything is going here at the RT. I see that everything is going about the same as when I left. All sorts of fights, arguments and finger-pointing on both sides.
But then I see this love fest, as Kiara so aptly put it. Maggie I see that you mentioned my name before you mentioned Prof, Yeager, Bunni, Colin, Rusty, Reamond and Linda. Does that mean that you love me more than them, neener neener, and then you mentioned Nero, Cheryl, Bigpeepa, NTS, Kraft, Logans, Crow, Helen and Kiara before me, so I guess you love me less than them. Oh well, but I am right there in the middle of all the love at least, LOL.
Linda.. I admire your tenacity and strength of conviction.
I agree with this and I will also say that this is a quality that I admire in Bear49, Helenjw and yes even Twelvepole.
Linda, Bear, 12, I agree with about 95% of your politics and I have learned alot reading your posts.
Allthough Helen and I disagree on most political issues, I still beleive that it is possible to admire an adversaries tenacity and strength of conviction. Boy oh boy, we have had some good arguments in the past, haven't we and gave each other a few black eyes so-to-speak. Helen, do you remember all those mean and nasty things that I have said to you over the past few years. Well I want to turn over a new leaf, start fresh and say all those same things to you again over the next few years, just kidding, or maybe i'm not kidding, or maybe I am kidding, who knows, we'll just have to see what happens, ok, LOl.
Kiara
What can I say about you, hmmmmmmmmm, lets see. Sometimes your a bad girl and sometimes your a good girl. So just always remember this, good girls go to heaven and bad girls go everywhere else.
Cheryl says
Almost as good as a weekly massage. Notice I said "almost". try to look at it as if it is the weekly message, not massage.
Crowfarm
I swear you remind me of Kramer on Seinfeld with all your crazy antics. Tell me do you live in a house with low doorways and do you bump your head on them because you continue to forget to duck?? No I'm not drinking whiskey today.
Aside from all above that I have mentioned, I also like reading posts from NTS, EAG, Parklane, Libra, Bunni, Colin, Kraft, Prof, Reamond, CC.
Whew, long post.
Oh yea I almost forgot, while I was outta town I was driving down a street and I glanced over to the left and I saw a sign. So I just had to turn around and take a picture of it. I think it looks pretty cool.

It's so nice to see all these great comments about everyone for a change! I'm a bit confused though. Seems like all the accolades are coming from the left. Is it just my imagination again?
Hey! Cool sign Yellowstone!!

That's because his name was not on the TOP of your list!!! And he was so distracted by the joyful thought of saying those mean and nasty things to me for the next few years. LOL!
