Maybe people could vote by secret ballot. Then nobody knows who's voting for who. But then...we'd probably see Adven as the winner in all of the categories and it would be Florida all over again!

For those of you that find this to be hurtful, I truly understand your feelings. I was the kid that never got included in parties, groups, etc growing up, and I remember how awful that felt.

But as I've grown I've come to realize that I have my own strengths. Maybe not ones that would be recognized on a messageboard, or in the serious/silly categories of this Academy Awards thread. And I've grown to care a lot less about what others think of me, and who likes me and who doesn't; and a lot more about caring what I think of me.

I'm sure it can be hurtful to find yourself not mentioned here. I personally chose not to participate because I'm aware that happens with these kinds of things. At the same time, I recognize that for the folks who do get called out for something, it's a wonderful gift to them; and I don't particularly feel right about depriving them of that gift either.

We all excel in different areas of life. Life is about finding your own way to shine. It just may not be in this little thread or even on this board. Those folks who do get mentioned deserve the honors for their contributions. Those people who want to have some fun with this, or say a thanks to someone deserve to be able to say 'em. And the rest of us can get our kudos for wherever else we shine.

My wish for each of you, nominated or overlooked - wherever you are, whoever you are, be proud of who you are, whether other folks notice or not. You're all deserving in your own way, I hope you can know that within yourself and find that personal acceptance and satisfaction.

I truthfully don't find this thread all that personally hurtful. In my posts to Abby, I was just trying to let her see how I see it, and I wanted to let her know I was in agreement with how she felt - I could understand her perspective.

It doesn't bother me that I'm not noticed - well most of the time. I'm a quiet, under the radar kind of person, and I don't expect to get noticed, and I don't strive to get noticed, usually. Although, I must say, I want to be noticed at times, but I think that is something most people want in their lives.

I don't feel unimportant here. I know that I'm important anywhere I am, even though I may not feel it sometimes.

Again: "As a man/woman thinketh, so is he/she."

Let's just make this a fun thread. Nothing serious, just looking for a good time and lots of humor. I agree with Kar on the fact that if someone wants to say someone is excellant at some particular feat, then they should be able to do that. It doesn't matter if it's in their folder or in this thread. The thought is still there.

Also for those who have done some great things around this board, I think I need to see those things that I haven't seen before. You may nominate someone that I personally don't interact with on the board and your nomination might just be the thing that makes me notice them more. There are a lot of areas on this board that I don't read. But if someone is nominated I might be more prone to pay attention the next time I see their name. There are some people on this board that I interact with all the time. These people I know better than others but at one time, I didn't know them either. So you never know, there may be some great friendships out there that will be deveoloped because you caught a name here and wanted to find out more about that person.

Adven, thanks for sharing what you had in mind.

I am happy to see the posts many of you have made about your feelings on this topic. I'm even happier about HOW it's being done. No one seems to be taking offense that we see things differently--we respect each other's differences.

I also know that every person who said something about why they don't partake in this type of thread has caught my attention at TVCH for one or more reasons (in a positive way). I hope that counts for something even if I don't bring it up specifically in a thread. Of course if I don't say that is the case, you don't know--lol.

I try to do that over time though. In threads as we discuss an issue, or in threads as I interact with all of you.

I think we all strive for validation, although how we feel it happens may be a bit different for each of us.

Abby, I've left you a message in your folder and I hope you'll strongly consider my invite!

The rest of you...I'll be back to give my list of nominations...I've been working on it for the last three days and it's tough to choose!! Also, I'm one that takes this type of thread in stride and what a difference a year makes! I wasn't nominated last year for ANY freakin' category...however, I didn't let that bother me because I know my own strengths and weaknesses and I know what I provide to myself and others on this board. Enjoy your day everyone...I'm off to run those gosh darn errands to keep the household running smoothly...sigh!!!

Glad you put the post back Grannyg because, as Mocha the wonderwoman said, it is profound! And I agree with it.

Abby, I doubt anyone here at TVCH will be angry with you or think less of you because you posted as you did (or with any of the people who posted agreeing with you). Many of us probably have thought as you did in the past (or some even still do). I know I used to get hurt about these kinds of threads but now I find them fun for all the reasons Granny and Lance and the others so eloquently stated. I had zero expectation of seeing my name on any list but just thought it would be fun to acknowledge some of the others I had gotten to know. In fact, I was really surprised to find my name in any lists and then realized it was because of the Starting Over thing. Prior to that, I was pretty unknown..and that's OK with me.

Actually,if you want to look at it in a positive light, :-), Abby and Sage, this thread has given many more TVCH posters an opportunity to get to know the two of you even better! For that I, for one, am thankful. (Resort Girl I already knew and enjoyed. Love to see pictures of her place!)

Thanks for taking the time to share your ideas with us and have a happy day

Lol Jan, and since you said that....

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
All the world's waiting for you,
and the power you possess.

In your satin tights,
Fighting for your rights
And the old Red, White and Blue.

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
Now the world is ready for you,
and the wonders you can do.

Make a hawk a dove,
Stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth.

Wonder Woman,
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman.
All our hopes are pinned on you.
And the magic that you do.

Stop a bullet cold,
Make the Axis fall,
Change their minds, and change the world.

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
You're a wonder, Wonder Woman.

Ok that was my one attempt at humor. Carry on folks. :-)

Well, I'm completely boycotting this entire thread because there is not a category that would display my strengths as TVCH Meeting Ho.

ROTFLBO, Ddr and Jan!! Ddr, we're still on for the end of May, right? I've got you penciled in.

I'll come back with my picks for the categories sometime this weekend. For now, can anyone find February for me?

Hippy, the thought crossed my mind but I was afraid that everyone would think I liked him or something. I only mentioned him 4 out of 17 times. And he is tied with Dra. And Bob, Adven and Weinermr came in second with 3 votes apiece. So see, I was fair. He just happened to come out on top

<well, looks like the good news is, one or two of you think i am funny and i don't have to waste money going to meet anyone>

i agree with abby and that's why i posted what i did (copied and pasted above) in an earlier page! it's sorta like being picked last for basketball. i know there are people who like me and people i like and people i just will always butt heads with :-), but naming people always leaves someone out.

<left out of my previous post the 29 people I've already met!!!!!!>

<put in my previous post the persons I want to meet = every poster I haven't met yet!>

<also included two people who never post>

That should cover it.
