Thoughtful, interested, and verbose, Jettee has blown my skirt up any number of times.

Did I forget talented and skilful and amazing and amusing and.....?

Jetee makes some really good posts and has a cool avatar. I'd like to own a rabbit that looked like that.

Yet, Martian is wise enough to note it....


I beg to differ

I am more than slightly a little biased when it comes to Tecoyah as he is a very special person to me.

While he is a very passionate person, he is also able to communicate in an honest and productive way.... so refreshing.

I havn't met Martian yet and yet i can confirm that he is very cool and he's very open to learning new things especially about Nelson Mandela and his third wife Graca, who is not white

Bill O' is exceptional in his handling of adverse situations....Making those involved think far more about what they do, than they might have done. This quality tends to make him a fantastic Moderator for our little home on the internets.

ring

I am very new here and in such good company, Martian, from what I know has trouble with sleep and he is very brave and does not complain.

I found this haven by googling 'insomnia'

"There is no place like home"
Tanx for the life raft TFP.

Martian

When ring first came to TFP, I thought she'd turn out to be another troll. Imagine my delight on discovering that she really is an intelligent and thoughtful individual who happens to have a well-developed sense of humour as well!

For the record, I complain like a middle-aged housewife, but only to a select few who are used to putting up with me being whiny.

ring

Martian has a kind heart and spirit.
I am so new to all things internet I did not even know what
a troll was and I couldn't even figure out what people meant by LOL,
at first, I kept picturing people lolling and roffling around..I'm serious.

Oh my, thanks for your patience with my irreverent sense of humor,
I will refrain from posting blind drunk from now on..sorry if I pissed anyone off.

blahblah454

Ring always has something cool to say, I might have to read it about 3 times to figure out what is being said but I get it eventually and its always interesting!!!

Hain

Blahblah454 always brings something to the table. If you stop acting like a kid, and just try it, you find out that you like it. Also, ever time I see blahblah454's avatar I am reminded of Skekses and all that is good with Jim Henson.

jewels

Augi always makes me smile. Although I don't know him that well yet, his avatar and attitude alway makes me think of the guy from Scooby Doo (is it Shaggy??)

A little bit hippie, a little bit philosopher and an all-around sweet guy.

mixedmedia

I don't know jewels very well, yet, but I've enjoyed her contributions to the TFP thus far. She seems really cool.

And, of course, she has a pin-up as her avatar so she gots to be seksy.

Despite his username, grumpy is a great guy and is very easy to get along with. Definitely one of the better people that I've met here.

This guy Daniel_, this guy here, has got a good head on his shoulders and as an avatar. I've seen a couple of his posts around, but he isn't afraid to speak out, and he most certainly is not one to sit down when he can stand up to do the right thing. A toast to Daniel_.

When Augi discusses math...that is the hottest damn thang on TFP.

Hain

Thanks Ring... I think. When was the last time my mind was appreciated...

Ring is as vast and as complex as Larry Niven's 'world. I learn something new about her every post. Artist, psychic, fan of science fiction, I don't entirely know, but I am sure we'll all find out soon enough.

According to Ring, Augi can discuss math in a wonderful way. I for one have never been good at it. Heres to you, oh good arithmetician man.

I also like your avatar.
