As 2013 approaches, know this.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

I am overwhelmed, and I am thankful, for you. An unfortunate incident brought forth an outpouring of affection and love that no man could expect, or dare hope for. To know that a weekly supply of silliness and mirth inspires so many rush to my defense is humbling. Another debt I can never repay. May we all carry such a burden. May that burden always give us flight.

May the new year bring you all that your heart never dare hope for. 2012 did that for me. Dream.

Yours Always.
SCE

May this coming year top all that have come before!

[bluesbassman]

21. I don't always look at LOLcats...

But when I do, they're SCE's.

Thanks for the effort and dedication my friend.

[alp227]

94. Yep. i see SCE post at the greatest...

but no kittehs? Oh wait it's not Sunday yet! Sundays at DU: LOLcats before politics & football!

[oldhippydude]

22. you had no way of knowing the many like myself that could not wait for Sunday

I turn on this computer Sunday just like a kid at Christmas... now you know

[nolabear]

23. Folk like you keep me coming here SCE.

Not just the Lolz but the good heart. I like freewheeling discussion but the rage and venom come very close to driving me off, even when I might share the opinion. So your salvation is my own.

Happy 2013 to us all!

[wendylaroux]

24. You are a good egg.

Everybody knows that!

[mulsh]

25. Happy New Year. I wish you all the best in the coming year

Thanks for being a consistent bright spot in our lives.

[spanone]

26. K&r... SCE

[babsbunny]

27. That was beautiful!

Can't wait for lol cats!

[calimary]

28. I'm just glad you're back!

Besides, yours is one of my favorite screen names of all time! How could you possibly forsake us?

Happy New Year to you as well! I personally am BEYOND gratified and thrilled that 2012 is almost over. It was a tad bit hellish at casa de calimary. We got through it alright, but it wasn't easy. The new year looks to be much better. AND we can all look forward to another four years with our President, Barack Obama, and myth wrongney gets to fade into obscurity along with his Queen of Entitlement, her ladyship ayn of dressage. Sure won't miss her one bit! The old year is taking them with it, thankfully enough. That's good news for all of us!!!

[Chellee]

29. Thank you.

And thank you for being the person you are.

[snappyturtle]

30. On Sunday mornings the coffee gets made and the cat is fed lickity split!

Then I nestle in with my fresh brew for your mirth and silliness... now a tradition in my life!

BTW: You're way too humble!

[JDPriestly]

31. I bragged about your posts to my family at Christmas. They are so much fun.

[graywarrior]

32. You're the cat's meow!

[gademocrat7]

33. Happy New Year, SCE!

Your humor lifts my spirits.

[AndyA]

34. I didn't participate in the thread you mentioned

But you should know that your "weekly supply of silliness and mirth" has brought a smile to my face more than once, and just when I needed it, too. I'm sure there are many others who look forward to your posts that you also don't know about.

We are thankful for you. Keep up the great work and I hope all your dreams come true in 2013.

[H2O Man]

35. My Best Friend!

Great to see you!

Peace,
Pat

[Honeycombe8]

36. You sure do post some cryptic posts sometimes, Salmon. But no matter, we lub you, anyway!

[DakotaLady]

37. Dream

Thank you SCE for this message.

Looking forward to the 'kittehs' in 2013.

And yes, the magic word will be dream.

[AmBlue]

38. Awww... that's so sweet.

You deserve every bit of it, SCE. Your tireless weekly efforts to bring a sweet spot of joy to so many is precious. It's the kind of thing one could never dare to expect, but reveals your tender, giving heart. We love you for it.

May the new year bring you, and all of us, our best and brightest dreams!

[meti57b]

39. SCE ..... you are so thoughtful and giving, to put your time into....

finding and posting the very best LOLZ for our enjoyment. I always think about that and am deeply appreciative, along with having a great time reading your LOLZ!

[In_The_Wind]

40. May your kindness be returned to you a thousandfold.

[we can do it]

47. Love to you!

[judesedit]

48. Most of us love your cat pictures.They bring light on a dark day for some of us.Don't listen to the

fuddy duddies. The entertainment news is similar. Everything doesn't have to be political, but it should be enlightening in some way. Yours lifts spirits. That is a good thing. I hope 2013 is a wonderful year for you and the rest of us. Keep posting, please.

[roguevalley]

49. Salmon, its more than the pictures I assure you. Hugs, honey.

[Tikki]

50. Hi SCE...I never even thought about cats until you started posting cute pictures of them.

I just figured there were cat people and dog people and then I started seeing other pets besides dogs
through your eyes.

Now I really enjoy looking forward to all the antics of the little animals and the occasional poli comic
thrown in each week.

Thanks for doing that...it is well appreciated.


Tikki

[QED]

51. We need the kittehs!

Thanks for the many LOLs and the effort that goes into posting them faithfully every week.

[mrsadm]

52. Here's to a wonderful 2013! ...

56. I, for one, am kind of glad about that little kerfuffle

because it compelled me to seek you out on Facebook.

[ret5hd]

57. I thank you, brother.

You're wicked funny and a gentle soul.

I want to wish you a great 2013. Thanks for all the funny and beautiful cats and dogs etc. I love them and I used to have cats and dogs but now I decided to travel more with no time limits so opt to not own any at this time. You pictures make smile and remember my animals I had and loved.

[murielm99]

87. You make my Sunday a good day, always.

I often share your LOLcat offerings with my husband.

You are loved and appreciated here! Happy New Year!!

[renate]

88. you're a sweetie!

Thanks for staying and for all you do to make us smile!

[Lilma]

90. You still have one more

Sunday to go in 2012. I am so looking forward to it. The chuckles and grins and laughs are such a nice way to start my day. Please keep up the good deed through 2013.

[donheld]

91. Silliness and Mirth in dark days in which we live is just what is needed.

With the faces of cats, dogs and other loving animals our hearts and minds can be reassured in wonderful ways.
You provide a service that is desperately needed at the end of the week of horrendous news which seems to be endless.

Thank you.

[shanti]

93. :)

[Jim Lane]

95. May we all remember that we can fight the good fight but stop for a giggle or two along the way.

May we also remember that the LOLcats collections don't compile themselves. Thanks for volunteering your time this way. Happy New Year!

[lovemydog]

96. Nice is underrated

on the net!

Happy new year!

[love_katz]

97. The work you put in for our Sunday LOL Cats...

can help create the good energy we need to Dream better lives for ourselves, and for all of us.

I am so glad you will continue to be here to make us all smile.

And, my cat approves of this message.

[Mnemosyne]

98. Here's to new beginnings, each day!

I truly enjoy them, and also appreciate and enjoy that you post this thread for us.

[hotrod0808]

102. Same goes here

I also had a very traumatic year, but it restored my faith in humanity with the community outpouring of help my family received to guide us through.

[DinahMoeHum]

103. Happy New Year, Bob.

I've gone thru some changes myself in 2012 - I can only work, hope and pray that 2013 will be better for me, for all of us, and for the USA.

It just isn't Sunday without your wonderful post!!!

[CherokeeDem]

108. You are welcome....

but more thanks to you for giving us those few moments of pleasure weekly. I would venture to say that for more of us than not, the past year has been difficult. Knowing that a smile awaits us on Sunday mornings can be immeasurable when we need a smile.

Thanks....

May your 2013 be filled with whatever joy you desire...

[rhett o rick]

109. I think your situation taught us some things. We tend to take each other for granted

and dont express our love for each other enough. And just because others dont speak up often doesnt mean they dont care.

I hope that makes sense.

110. It's a wonderful life, isn't it

when you realize how it touches the lives of others.

It's why I've been more than happy to help a "technically incorrect" DU-er when I can without requiring or expecting any thanks. And it's also why I take my DU juror duties as seriously as cancer.

In 2013, I will be embarking on a venture that will give me the opportunity to touch many lives right in my community. It's tailor-made for a progressive, and if successful, DU will be the first to know.

Happy 2013 right back at ya.
