It's really sad when all the pirates sob uncontrollably.<br/><br/>Terri, for God's sake, you don't have a lard butt. I've SEEN you. You'd look fine in a cheerleading outfit; and you can only be cheerleader flexible if you do stretching exercises...it's not because this figment lard butt you just referenced. <br/><br/>Janga, we'll be your cheerers, cheerleaders, and outright bloody nags. I can't wait to get my hands on Max's book--and I will trot to one of your signings just to make you autograph it right to me: "To Hellion, Enjoy Max...I know I did." or something like that.

In so many ways. Let me clear this up.<br/><br/>I will gladly be your cheerleader. I just meant that I didn't want people to get from the pom poms and toe jump comment that I was claiming to be a cheerleader. Even when I was 17, this lard butt was not getting off the ground. LOL!<br/><br/>Just didn't want to give others the impression and just meant I would never have made any squad. Except the Flag Corps. I did make that one. *g*<br/><br/>See, I could twirl a flag for you Janga! Now, you get yourself in that GH race and I will be at that ceremony twirling your flag. LOL!

Perhaps I should have used "cheerers," which the OED defines as "He (or she) who or that which cheers, comforts, or inspirits; a comforter; he (or she) who cheers, applauds, hurrahs." Will you accept that description? Terri, I apologize for the “cheerleader” tag.

I got all teary myself. <br/><br/>And, it takes something special to make the pirates bawl. :)<br/><br/>Oh, and I totally agree about the thesaurus thumping. Not for the gratuitous violence of it, but the whole keep going part.... Though I do appreciate me some gratuitous violence, ya know, being American and all.... LOL!!

LOL<br/><br/>Julie, girlfriend, you've got yourself a deal. There are few instances where I bring out the waterworks, but every time you've posted, you get me all worked up. <br/><br/>I'm much the lurker myself. I have been for years. I lurk on the outside of life. I lurk on the outside of digital life. It's the fringes of life where you learn the most about your surroundings. Get to know the people for who they are. I don't fault lurkers at all. Not when it's so easy to be one. It's my duty as a blog writer to convey a message every week that catches a readers attention. They don't necessarily need to post a comment to make me feel justified. I'd rather they reflect back on it weeks later. That's what writing is about. Occasionally writers need to hear they convey their message. Occasionally they need a kick in the ass to remind them that they are a writer for a reason. A purpose. And you've done that. <br/><br/>So just like Ter said, there is a special place for readers like you in heaven. Ter- I knew I loved her at Thesaurus thumping. LOL
