Let's Play the Admiration Game!!

Seems a lot of folks are feeling down and out lately with job situations, life in general and other unknown reasons.  Let's try to have a morale booster today!

(It's my game, I get to make the rules!)

Rules:
1.  Pick someone who posts on TMB - regularly, occassionally or used to but doesn't anymore but we know they are lurking.

2.  Write a few sentences about what makes you admire them.

3.  You cannot pick someone that has already been "admired"

It's a MUTUAL ADMIRATION SOCIETY party!!

My game, my rules, so I get to go first - (damn, I drive that train ONE time and I just take over the world!!  LOL)

I pick   GINA R. the DIVA herself!

I love me some Ms. Gina.  Of all the people on this board she makes me smile EVERYday.  I admire her ability to go and be with families who's loved one is in their last days / hours / minutes.  It's obvious she's good at what she does with the number to personal requests she gets.  It takes someone special to do that kind of work.  She doesn't give up, in fact she gives it all she's got in anything I've seen her do.  Half-marathon, she was there.  Someone needs something, she's there.  Her own kids even like her!!

Next - pick someone you admire and tell us why!

I'll start this off.
Though I don't know her well, I admire Phyllis. She's a little bundle of energy who works her tail end off, but almost always seems to be upbeat.

I pick Jodie!!!
She never whines.. She is a good listener. She accepts you the way you are. She has more Kahonas than both my ex-husbands combined. She has a can do attitude. She doesn't compare herself to anyone. She tells it how it is. She is there for you as a friend and as a WLS peep.. She is truly inspirational on what all she has accomplished. Too bad I just now met her. But, I am thank ful that I have.

Dammit - that was one of the rules

You can't pick ME!!

But thank you KB - even though we've been friends for a short time, it feels like forever!

Jodie,
You said that we could not pick someone that has been admired. You have not been admired yet!!!!

I meant to make it one of the rules ... LOL

Dan!  He doesn't know the meaning of the word stop, no or can't.  He works hard on himself but he never forgets his wife or kids and all the while helping any WLS peep who asks.  He is an inspiration and a motivation, as a father, husband, athlete and WLS success story.

I want to pick 3 !!!   LOL   Ramon, Debra, and Yvonne.   They have been a inspiration to me since I first came to OH.   When I met them several years ago at the Walk from Obesity Walk in Dallas.....I felt as though I was meeting "movie stars" .   I know that they will get a "kick" out of that !!  LOL   But they are ALL 3 so inspiring to me !!  I love them all 3 very much !!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I pick   Lynnette S. .  Although I have never met her or anyone else yet, I admire her.  She was the first one to answer when I was new to the board.  She seems to be like a ray of sunshine always positive.  She will answer any questions I might have and can't wait to sit and visit with her sometime.  She is definently a role model for those of us who have started this journey.  THANKS TO EVERYONE!!  Love the game thank you!!

I choose........Momma QUE!

For all the trials and tribulations, she ALWAYS has a smile and a hug!  She's a no-nonsense kinda gal that will tell you like it is and I love her for that!!!

She is generous and a fabulous cook!  Que would give you the shirt off of her back if you asked.  I love you, Momma Que!!!
