skybytch 273 #1 October 22, 2004 There are times in everyone's life when the support of other people means everything. Sometimes that support can be the difference between getting through the shit life throws at you (or that you choose to have thrown at you, depending on your philosophical bent) or giving up. Some people go above and beyond the definition of "friend." I'm lucky enough to have many of these people in my life. In no particular order I'd like to publicly thank Lisa, Lindsey, Jack, Lynn, Doug, Greg, Chuck, Katie, Mary, Paige, Renee, Dominic, Wally, Jim, Sangiro, JP, Bill and Keith - for being there for me when I needed someone and/or some place, for not taking "no" for an answer, for understanding, for listening, for good advice heeded and unheeded, for dealing with some of the stuff I couldn't, for giving of themselves in so many different ways to help me get through what has been a very trying past few months. I'd also like to thank everyone who has sent me messages of support and caring and apologize to those I didn't reply to; it wasn't because I didn't appreciate it but because I was too overwhelmed to respond. Some people are awesome. All of those named and unnamed above are in that group. I hope all of you have at least a few of these kind of people in your lives.

freeflir29 0 #2 October 22, 2004 "True" friends are fairly hard to come by in life. Seems you have a wealth of them. Hope things are getting back to "normal" for you down there in hurricane land. I'll be seeing you over the winter I'm sure! Did you move back to SoCal permanently? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #6 October 22, 2004 QuoteDid you move back to SoCal permanently? One lesson I've learned recently is that nothing is permanent. I've committed to a job starting the first of November that will mean I'll be staying here in SoCal until the end of January. Beyond that I have no plans... only possibilities. And I'm okay with that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgskydive 0 #8 October 22, 2004 Awe Lisa! You made me all sappy this morning! Thanks for being you. I know we have had our differences as well, but we have remained friends and that is the cool part. Not to many people in this world can piss each other off and get over it, then come through when you need them. You are one of those people. Come watch me play in the tunnel today 3:00.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #10 October 22, 2004 QuoteOne lesson I've learned recently is that nothing is permanent. No shit! Here I get what I have been wanting for years. I live in Atlanta....making very nice money with a decent amount of time off. However......I haven't even moved back yet and I'm already thinking about leaving after a year. Who knows......maybe the world will suffer a sudden bout of peacefulness before next fall and that job will go away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katiebear21 0 #12 October 22, 2004 Dayum, girl, you're sounding so grown up... YOU MAKE ME SO PROUD!!!We were instant friends because good/true friends are hard to come by. I must say, the girls I've met from dz.com have been some of the most amazing women I've ever met in my life. Believe it or not, you're pretty amazing in my book. You have courage to pick up and move in order to create direction in your life or change when you feel like you're at a dead end. That's pretty amazing!

DALAILAMA 0 #23 October 24, 2004 Friends are important to have, good friends are wonderful to have, but life long friends are a blessing and rare. You have all of these in all of us, because everyone sees how truely special you are. If given the opporitunity and the roles were reversed, you would have done the same if not a thousand times more. That is why you are special to everyone, because everyone is special to you. I am just "paying it forward" cause someone cared enough to help me when I really needed it.
