Thank you so much for your kind words! I have also met so many people who I admire since I joined Pet Talk......

I have really been enjoying the ongoing saga of Edwina and Eduardo (what a pleasure to read the August Diary - things are looking up!). I would also like to know if Edwina's Secretary is also Edwina's Interior Decorator - your house looks absolutely gorgeous And of course Edwina can always be relied on to give us a smile with her great photos - thanks for going to all the effort to share this with us.

I feel so much admiration for Kim, Jen and all the other Foster Meowmies on PT - honestly guys, I don't know how you do it - but I'm very glad you do! You make such a difference to so many precious little kitties, and we all thank you for that!

I must agree that Popcornbird deserves a lot of respect for the way she handled a very unpleasant situation. Your loyalty towards your friend was admirable. I just hope this doesn't prevent you from being loyal and trusting in the future((HUGS))).

My "real-life / non-cyber" hero would have to be Nelson Mandela. I grew up as a teenager in the dark apartheid years in South Africa. Not being South-African born, I was less accepting of the situation than many of my peers. I almost got expelled from high-school for "being an activist" (which at the time was anything not agreeing 100% with the government and school board).

More than anything else, I would love to meet "Madiba". When you think about what HE endured, and forgave, finding forgiveness for the petty squabbles of everyday life becomes so much easier!

(OK - I've climbed off my soapbox!)
