what a community this is.
how many ways it has touched my life, honed my chops, and tuned my networks.
and kept me 100% grounded in the anti-bullshit.
and made me L.A.U.G.H.
and gives me a place to brag.
which, heck, that space is never big enough.
i love you guys.

(70,103 posts)yeah, there are phonies and trolls here, but there are some of the truest hearts i have ever known.
the late beherenow and i held each others hand over the phone, dealing with bipolar children.
her daughter was in my city. she was attending my alma mater. she knew i was here. she knew there was a mom here, a tiger mom like her, who would go break down the child's door if need be.
and all i had to really do, was to be real.
