Because I think we’d have a great time sharing stories and making each other laugh. Because she has the grace to face serious issues without taking herself too seriously. Because having “met” her only recently, I already feel like we’ve lived parallel lives. Because she seems like a loving daughter, wife and mother. Because she inspires me to be the same.

...because I have enough in common with her that I feel a bond with her, while at the same time she’s different enough from me that it draws me to her—the way you seek friends who have qualities you like and want to emulate. I enjoy every word of hers; the touching and the hilarious, the insightful and the whimsical. She’s one of those 43T-ers that I am grateful to have found!

How often does one come across a sensitive, caring yet witty and fun-loving rodent who knows how to use the computer with such dexterity? His talent for inventive conversation sparks and encourages some of the most entertaining exchanges on 43T. Not to mention that he has beaten the genetic odds by spawning not one, but three beautiful children who, except for lovely golden tresses, are remarkably devoid of fur.

She’s lived a fascinating life, has a talent for attracting interesting people, and is able to describe all of it in tantalizing detail. Reading her posts is like biting into a slice of ice-cold watermelon on a hot, hot day: delicious!

Because she has lived a life of joy, and loss, and adventure, and courage that I can only imagine. And she has come through it with tremendous grace and openness of spirit. Her willingness to bare her thoughts out in the open and share so bravely incredibly personal and intimate details of her life make all those who are blessed enough to share them a little improved for each communion.

Is it true you don’t like people to write stories about you? Why not? I could write a real doozy!

Dorianbode is living proof that you can be both an artist and a snowcone salesman. I admire his humorous sensibility, and hope that someday he really does get that book published.

Because he has a highly evolved sense of humour, impeccable taste in uniforms and a flare for habberdashery—not to mention that any man who can wear “Spiffy” in his name with such aplomb must be a character worth knowing. He is to 43T as Liquid Plumr is to pipes—he keeps things flowing!

She doesn’t want people to write about her. I don’t know why. She’s a lovely person.
