[ThomCat]

[Tuesday Afternoon]

31. Kudos to Thomcat for talking to a lowly Newbie. He seems a

freindly, unassuming, non-cliquish type person. I like him. :toast:

[ThomCat]

36. I only talk to the really cool newbies.

:P

(those being the ones who respond.)

:hi:

[malta blue]

32. Thomcat is a very special person

:toast:

To you Thomcat - for always bringing a smile to my face.

:pals:

[ThomCat]

37. Hi Malta Blue!

:hi:

If you ever want to hop a train for a day trip to NYC please let me know! :hug:

:loveya:

[malta blue]

39. You know I will.

:hug: :hug:

I earned an extra week of vacation in 2008 so I am looking forward to coming into the city for a long weekend.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

:toast:

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

49. Hi ya!!!

:hug:



:hug:



:hug:



:)

[Haole Girl]

34. Thom-- a rare combination of...

..intelligence, kindness, tact, and generosity.

And, to think he lives the way he does - through pain - makes him even more amazing.

:hug:

[ThomCat]

40. I can't claim that much tact.

And people could question at least one of those others. I'm a bit blunt. :P

But I appreciate the compliments quite a bit. :hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. He gives good phone

[ThomCat]

41. Says the man with the "let me seduce you" voice.

:P

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

42. Wut?

It's just the way I talk. :shrug:

[lizziegrace]

48. Heh

yeah. And it makes all of us weak in the knees...

[Oeditpus Rex]

53. Weak knees aren't good

Maybe I should start doing my Marvin the Martian impersonation. :)

[lizziegrace]

56. But

someone has to catch me when I fall...

And then of course, your kindness must be repaid. :evilgrin:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

44. I feel the same way about him...

He's a great friend, and I just wish we were living closer so we could be closer...:evilgrin:
Duckie

[ThomCat]

45. Hi Duckie!

I finally reinstalled YahooMessenger today!

If you're around, please log on. :hug:

[BarenakedLady]

51. Yes he is.

What a great guy!

:toast: to Thomcat.

:hug:

[ThomCat]

52. Hi BarenakedLady!

:loveya:

We are, to a large extent, the company we keep. I hang around with good people here in the lounge. :hug:

[Gormy Cuss]

54. Anything

for Thomcat.
:toast:

[ThomCat]

58. That feeling is mutual.

:pals:

[Inchworm]

55. Thomcat is a good'n

Fo Sho!

:hug:

:hi:

[ThomCat]

59. Thank you, Inchworm.

:hug:

You're a good'n too. Even if you do have a funny accent. :P

[salin]

57. Thomcat, I sooo appreciate you,

you fight to have voices heard for those vulnerable who can't always find their own voice.

And you do so despite your own personal crisis.

I hope to someday have the good fortune to meet you in person. But even if I don't have that opportunity (I haven't been to NYC for a number of years - and the chance of your finding a reason to come to Indianapolis the exciting city that it is (NOT) I assume is not likely), I feel fortunate that I have "met" you via DU. You are an inspiration to me.

[ThomCat]

60. Hi Salin!

I'm going to be screwing up my courage and traveling over the holidays this year. If it goes well, you never know. :)

You're an amazing voice here too, and you have been for quite a while. :hug:

I'm very glad I've been able to argue and debate by your side on so many threads.

[lizziegrace]

61. As long as the traveling is on your terms

and at your pace. :hug:

The company is more important than the events, you know??

[lizziegrace]

62. May tomorrow be better for you, my friend

:hug:


I've got to get some sleep.

:pals:



:loveya:

[bigwillq]

63. ThomCat really is a very cool guy

Hopefully one day I will get to meet him. :)

[ThomCat]

64. I will keep inviting you to stuff

whenever we're doing something here. :)

[bigwillq]

65. Please do

One day I will accept the invitation...My work sked really sucks and it seems like whenever something is planned, I have to work that day. But I swear I will come down one day! :)

[Zornhau]

66. To Thom!!

:toast: :hug:

[ThomCat]

68. Hey, John, is that you?

:hi:

(If not, then welcome to DU) :)

[Zornhau]

74. Yes it is!

:D

[lizziegrace]

75. Dayum...

:thud:


Excuse my while I go whimper in the corner. LynzM is a lucky lady. ;)

[ThomCat]

77. Cool. I like the sound of the new ID.

What does it mean? :)

[Zornhau]

91. It's a Longsword Technique

One of the so-called "Master Cuts", and it's fun to say :D

[crim son]

67. He has my friendship, my respect and my love.

You describe him very well, lizziegrace!

[ThomCat]

69. Hi crim son!

:blush:

:hug:
You are a very beautiful person in many ways.

[crim son]

70. Not like you.

That's simply the truth.

[In_The_Wind]

71. ThomCat Rocks!

so do you :thumbsup: Thanks for your hospitality! :loveya:

I'm so happy that I've had the chance to see ThomCat a few times! :bounce:

[ThomCat]

78. LizzieGrace is an awesome person.

I'm so glad that you and BillySkank had a chance to travel around and see people.

But, damn, you must be exhausted from all that traveling. :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

92. Yes, she is!

I am tired.

I can't believe I'm saying this ... but ... I'm looking forward to getting back home on Sunday. I can't take too much time off for the next few months. I've got packing and moving, lots of thinking to do.

[Connonym]

72. A good man with a beautiful soul

I love Thomcat

[ThomCat]

80. Thank you, Connonym!

:loveya:

You are wonderful! :hug:

[DarkTirade]

73. Awwww. You're gonna embarrass the poor guy. :)

[ThomCat]

81. Yes, but it's a good kind of embarrassment.

:blush:

:hi:

[DarkTirade]

84. I.E., the kind where your pants stay up and nobody's staring at you. :P

'cause trust me, the alternative tends to get pretty embarrasing. And not in a good way.

especially if it's cold outside... O8)

[lizziegrace]

86. *snicker*

:)

[Sanity Claws]

79. I met Thomcat and know why he is so loved.

:hi:

[ThomCat]

82. I am so glad you were able to come.

I should have sent out PMs to everyone thanking all of you, but pain got in the way and I've been a slacker.

I won't be able to do another party until sometime next year, but you're definitely invited. :hug:

[Fredda Weinberg]

83. Hear, hear! A lively character, fer sher n/t

[lizziegrace]

85. Fredda!!

I'm sorry we didn't get to meet.

:hi:

[Fredda Weinberg]

87. Next time, then. At the last minute, life intruded

Got pictures of the pot-luck dinner?

[ThomCat]

88. I'm trying hard to avoid the alternative.

:P

:hi:
