NBR: Compliment a NBCer

I was thinking about this the other day when I was trying to explain to my SIL how I've made friends on the intewebs and meet up with people "randomly" and have even flown states away for a NBCer.  I was explaining to her that no, I was not afraid to see people I've never met IRL before.  That I've been posting here for years and email and text people regularly.  That even though I may have never met a lot of these people, that they truly are friends to me.  It just reminded me that how much I love this group of women.

If anyone is feeling particularly sentimental, maybe we could try a compliment a NBCer? I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy.

    Sounds good to me.  How do you want to do this?

    Maybe just tag the person with a compliment?  I'm not sure.

    @RevJen I'm thankful for your help a couple of months ago.  It really helped me get things going.  I also think you have an great way with words.  You seem to say what you feel, but are able to do it eloquently.  I truly admire it because it's a talent that I do not possess.

    You always seem so fearless to me and I've always admired that.  If I could turn back the clock about 20 years, I'd like to be more like you are now and take more chances.

    I wasn't when I was younger.  I've gotten that way as I've gotten older but I missed a lot of opportunities that I regret now.

  • @SnShne322 and @Shepherdjel always come up with lively posts to keep the board going when we're in a slump.

    @84Lauren always says exactly what I'm thinking way better than I ever could. She speaks my mind in a good way.

  • I don't really know know anyone outside of here, but my compliment is to everyone.
    I don't know what I would have done without all of you last year and early this year.
    It was a tough few months, and most people in my life dismissed my depression as something I should just get over, and none of you ever did that.
    So thanks!

  • I've really enjoyed @booknerd226's presence on the NBC. I know she's not new anymore, but I think she brings a freshness to the board that I really like.

  • @myJunegirls - I always admire the close relationship you seem to have with your daughters. I think that is awesome!

    I don't feel like I post very often and I don't really feel like a regular, but I love you girls to pieces. When I do post, I don't feel awkward about it, which is nice. I don't have many friends IRL and especially not ones who share our love of reading, so it is great to connect with you guys.

  • @Elistar has a ridiculously cute son and I want to fly to FL and squeeze him. (Not in a creepy way I promise.)

    @MrsC7 makes me laugh on the regular.

    @SnShne322 is always great at keeping the board lively. I appreciate her presence around here so much.

    @Hoycie is just plain 'ol awesomesauce.

    And all the semi-regular not here all the time, but still contribute in a meaningful way when you're around NBCers - you guys rock my socks and you should all post as much as possible.

    Gah...I have more, but work is a PITA.
