What I mean by that, is the similar feeling I get with some of the other guys. A bit like extended family, and since I've never met any of the Knowflakes (knowingly) that is a good thing. I believe I've known you before.

When you first flew into LL, you definitly stood out with your quirky sense of humour and outright manner. I imagined you to be younger than you seemed - an impression which people get of me also. I was touched by the affection you have for your birds and your son, and appreciate your honesty in how you relay your life too. Getting to know you, as far as someone can through written word - a deeper, more sensitve side about you is evident, and your emotion kinda came out strong through how you wrote it.

I love how much you know about crystals - universal synchronity came about at the right time again since I had an urge to buy some particularly at that time - and really enjoyed our conversations when I was able to log on to LL more at the end of last year.

I'm honoured to have met you and hope that we can meet up some if we cross water

Had to do that on a mini break, pity I have to go again.

You are wise, sensible, caring, sensitiv, funny, quirky and loving.

Like Sheaa, I believe we have past life connections. There is a familiarity about you to me. I love you like a sister.

I sense a deeply sensitive nature within you, that you might keep a bit hidden, but it's there and it's deep and true, so it is quite visible to others. To me you have the presence of a wise old woman and at the same time that of an innocent and sensitive, playful little girl, all mixed together. It seems to me like youve got a balance of alot of positive opposing forces within you, the yin and the yang of things. On the one hand you can be a wacky, wise-cracking, fun-loving goofball but youre also calm, centered, serious, and honest. I admire your uninhibitedness, your free spirit. You are a real, down to earth, warm, strong and genuinely good person, which easily sensed by others. Like you told me once, and I'll never forget it, youre BIG! It's true. Youre soul is big and rich. Youre very clever and witty. To me that shows a deeply spiritual nature.

Geez, I really could go on and on.

Hope you realize how special you are to so many people Mary.

i don't know you~ but i've read your posts and i think you have a terrific sense of humor. you've made me laff many times while just lurking. for the longest time i thought you were a man. part of that obviously is your screen name, the rest is because you come off as somewhat androgenous when you write, not girly. you seem to have a masuline energy about you. is that right? i'm sure you've posted it at some point in here, but are you a sag? or do you have lots of fire?

I know what you mean. I thought the same thing when I first joined. I like your non-girly posts Philbird. Wish I could be more like that sometimes. But as I've gotten to know you more, I see a stong feminine energy as well. But it's pretty balanced.

Cancer Sun, Aquarius Moon.......makes sense!

I know and everyone knows I act a fool here 80% of the time, and yeah, for me some of it is shyness too.

Philbird, you are always pleasant...and you are sincere. I've always known you to be genuine and never superficial. I always enjoy your light hearted manner, and you never get cought up in negativity or battle of the ego's, you're a ripe fruit, and you are LOVED!!!
If anyone tried to put you down, I'd be one to stick up for, always, because I know you have only pure interest in you heart.
You have contributed a lot here, and you've made me laugh and smile many times!

Tell the person who gave you your assignment to stick that in their pipe and smoke it

I think you're a very unique "what you see is what you get" kind of person with no pretensioness at all....(but I gotta get to know you better to give you the REAL lowdown!)

I deeply, deeply appreciate everyone's response to this thread. You are all in my hearts!
Mary (we may end the thread now)

I still have to throw my 2cents in!!!

You are a hoot Philbird and I have grown very fond of you over the last year of postings. I found it so hard to believe one like you has no friends around her, but us knowflakes. You have such a big heart and humor that is only contagious. Just love you Philbird!!!
