A LoT of Appreciation

blueerica · 03-18-2008, 10:46 AM

I really appreciate the support that we give each other here. Having a place where we can share the good times and the bad times with friends that actually care and will often times help has meant the world to me, as I know it has for so many others here.

Though some have been here (and sometimes there) longer than others of us here, just watching this board over the past few years has been a lesson in what a real community means, especially in this day and age.

So, I just wanted to take a moment out and put out a blanket thank you to everyone here, for helping to foster one of the swankiest digs around. It's not always perfect, but goddamn it's great.

Ya see, I'm freakin stupid. I kept thinking GD had typed some acronym I could not identify. D'oh!

Yep!

In a similar vein, we have been watching Big Love on HBO. It is a story of a polygamist family lead by Bill Paxton. Great cast and pretty decent writing. We have been fascinated watching this, not because we are interested in polygamy per se, but the dynamic of the extended family is fascinating and interesting. I keep thinking of the LoT commune and how it would (could) actually function with this group.

The show also features Harry Dean Stanton and Chloë Sevigny. And Ginnifer Goodwin (who plays Margene) is a hottie!

Ken and I love that show! We've been hooked since the first episode.

And, I totally love the community family it portrays, even though we wouldn't personally become polygamists (one husband is enough to put up with, thankyouverymuch

).

I feel the same way about LoT. It's so much more than a "community", and for that, I am thankful. Not only do we all support each other, even when our views differ, but I can be myself here without worrying about "image" or other group dynamic crap. I especially like the fact that we respect each other as individuals and aren't expected to invite a ton of people to any outing, nor be expected to participate in outings if we don't feel like it. I also like how we can share stories and photos of things that not everyone was invited to without anyone throwing fits. It's a breath of fresh air.

The support and understanding that we have had over the last few weeks is something that Ken and I will never forget, and my family has been very grateful as well, even though they don't know most of you. It makes me proud to be amongst such a phenomenal and real group of people.
