Have any DU'ers helped you with a personal issue in your life?
I have had some very nice people help me with some problems. And they know who they are. Thank you.

If you've had some good people bail you out or offer some advice, here's a chance to thank them. :-)

2. Thanks DU'rs, except I'm still not sure I made the right decision!LOL
I still appreciate the fact that some of you took the time to offer suggestions that made a lot of sense. Thanks

Now let's ban together and take out that "moran" (sic) who's squatting in our White House! And he can take his little dog too!

3. It's a little far for me to bail you out, Terry.
I mean, it's only an hour and a half, but still....

If I'm sober, and not too tired, and I don't have to work in the morning -- I'd be happy to bail you out! :hi:

(but why would you be in jail?)

6. Al, Al, Al....
What a moment that would be. Me sitting in jail...you walking in, springing me out...and then experiencing that smoldering quality...in the FLESH....

:hi:

:-)

4. Absolutely YES, on more than one occasion...
When I asked for support and good thoughts for my wife in her illness, the response was overwhelming and I read them to her over the phone. Later, when she decided to initiate divorce proceedings, I asked for myself, and again, the support was overwhelming. A giant thank you to all those folks out there who saw me through the difficulties.:toast: :hippie: :bounce: :grouphug: :yourock:

5. Someone donated in my name...
but wouldn't own up to it. I'll never forget how grateful and excited I was when I noticed. For a while I put a thank you in my sig line so they would be sure to see it.

Also, I'd like to thank Oz for being a kind and thoughtful person.

:grouphug:

9. I know someone who has helped me and many others.
One of the most kind and caring people I have never met. And now she's being repaid in her hour of need by all of those that she has helped.

She's an inspiration. :hug:

10. EvilDUers are not so very evil at all. Most are darned wonderful folks
but that will be our little secret.

There when I needed a hug and encouragement. There with me online the night fires were near and I was afraid to go to sleep. There when my sweet old cat died. There when I was afraid for my sister's health. I am grateful for the friends I don't even know I have until I need them.

We are a circle and stronger for the care we show one another. By our deeds, we disprove all the horrible things Rush says about us. We prove him worng every day.

EvilDUers rock!

11. If I started naming names...
I'm sure I'd leave someone out and I'd hate to hurt anyone's feelings. I figure they know who they are and know that I appreciate everything they do for me. :grouphug:

Having said that, I'm gonna single someone out anyway. :) Will, you're a helluva friend and I can't think of anyone better to turn to when the world has got me down and I need a kick in the ass to get me going again. I'm gonna give you a big embarassing public thank you. :)
