I am truly sorry for my tardiness to the party. It is certainly not due to a lack of appreciation for @laureth‘s participation on fluther. As a matter of fact, I feel certain that @laureth and I would be close fluther friends if it were not for some coincidental timing issues. You see, she joined fluther apparently with quite a splash and quickly accumulated a whole lot of lurve just after I had pulled the plug and departed upon a hiatus that would stretch seven long months. And, unfortunately, my return closely coincided with @laureth‘s decision to also take a break from these waters.
But when the timing finally synchronized, I noticed @laureth immediately. I not only quickly appreciated her posts, I found myself standing by in eager anticipation while she was composing and reading every post she made with great relish.
I find @laureth to be real and relevant, sensible and sensitive, thoughtful and thought-provoking. considerate and (at times) controversial, and her posts always insightful and never insignificant.
Congratulations on your well deserved milestone @laureth. I hope to share a lot of dialogue, thoughts and experiences with you in the future. And guess what? That timing issue might not be all bad. It’s quite possible we have not yet maxed out on each other’s lurve and we may actually see our counters increase as we share that lurve (that is, if you find an occasional post of mine worthy of your lurve). All my best to you. Again, congratulations. See ya….Gary/wtf
now if you’ll pardon me, this old man needs a nap before trying to catch up with that joyous jelly that goes by the name of @casheroo
