Well, who takes you beyond lust, infatuation?

Who has your respect and admiration?

On the Playground or in real life?







*Thanks jewelz, ya brought this thread idea to mind*

:rose:
 
dangnabbit why do you ask things that make us name names, you know we always forget someone without meaning too :(

Myself, as for respect and admiration I truly admire and respect almost everyone here for not only the photo's of themselves but for their words, funny, cute or even some down to the bone sharp ones, I respect them all, well almost.

Beyond lust, think I'll beg off on that one
 
Ya don't have to name names.

I am more interested in making you think about those in your life that give cause for more than sweetness and sex.

BTW...Happy Birthday or is it belated, now, woodmiester?

Welcome sugah!

Everyone knows that I admire you for reasons stated in many threads for many months :)

And I admire a few more peeps on Lit, but they will remain nameless. (yes for fear of hurting someone if their name isnt on the list)

My real life admiration lies with my late gramma and pappy. They had 8 kids, 16 grandkids, 22 great grandkids and counting. They struggled in life but their faith was strong. The gift of love they gave our family is amazing. But without them, I wouldnt be here. My mom got pregnant when she was 16, back when it was looked down upon seriously. Gramma and Pappy did nothing more than wrap their arms around mom and promise to help love and raise me. My bio dad took off when mom got pregnant. So she was alone. My grandparents were and are my world. I miss them so very much. They have given me memories that I cherish. They were handed many trials in life, but their love and faith shown through. And of course I admire mom for everything!

Celebrity admiration lies with the late Princess Diana and with Oprah..she has inspired me in many ways. A strong woman. A successful woman. A caring unselfish woman.

Oohh and for good measure....I admire the Jennifer Anniston for getting to sleep with Brad Pitt every night...*swoon* :D :D
 
With Artful's permission,

I have to agree with Jewelz Miss T in saying I also greatly admire you and all you have done at Lit,you seem to be a lovely lady, and I also admire my grandparents as they raised me from 6yrsold on up after my parents divorced..
My grandma spoiled me rotten,so did my great-grandma.
I also admire Oprah,Princess Diana,all volunteers throughout the world, and anyone at all who helps to bring even just a little peace, love and sunshine into this messed up at times world of ours..
Online of course and in my heart r/l I must feel compelled to say I love and admire Master Artful. He takes alot of crap from me sometimes , deals with it in a loving , caring , patient, manner and hangs in there with me , teaching and giuiding me into being a better person.I have to respect Him for this cause if the roles were reversed I would've probably released Him long ago.
I do not have His strength or courage and thats why I feel I need and love him so very much is that He has so so much to offer me, He makes me feel more complete as a woman than any man in the R/L ever has before. I pray to God every night thanking HIm for bringing Master into my life,I truly feel i've waited for Him for a long ,long, time but then again , Good things are ALWAYS worth waiting for..:heart: :heart: :heart:
 
I admire DevilDoll for starting two of my favorite threads...
the"Fuck" thread & "The person below me"thread ;)
:kiss: :kiss:
 
In real life...so many people that cross my path.
*My grandparents first and for most. My grandpa because he was the only man I know of that actually practiced what he preached, literally. He was a very spiritually rich and intelligent man. I miss his guidance but still hear his voice in my heart. I strive every day to make him proud. There was nothing hypocritically about him. He lived what he believed, he overcame his temper long before I came along, and loved with his whole heart. The memories given to me from him and my grandmother will stay with me for life. I would not be able to look in the mirror for the person I would be if it weren't for them. And my grandmother's strength and fragility. I had always percieved her to be the weaker of the two, and felt it unfair that he should pass away first. She has time after time come through difficulties that still amaze me. At her age, we were able to take care of her second husband at home when he became terminal. And she was the strong one through it all. The love in her heart is so beautiful, and so rich. Whenever I travel I think of when I wouldn't want to go away from her as a child. She would kiss me on the forehead, and cuddle me close, and sing to me, then she'd tell me that she'll be right there with me, in my pocket, and any time I needed her I could just reach in my pocket and she'd be there. Then she'd pretend to slip a miniature her into my pant's pocket. *sniff*. Watching her slowly fade, have pain, become physically weak breaks my heart. My greatest wish is to take all her pain on, to breath energy into her again and let her do all the things she wishes she still could. Let her last days here be full of happiness and love and hugs and kisses.
* And my brother. He is both the unluckiest and luckiest person I know. He always has some sort of trouble and always lands on his feet. He's tormented in his own mind, yet he's got the most beautiful mind (I see where the name of the movie came from). He somehow gets money without working, yet he gives it away in complete generousity. His suffering is felt in my body, his laugh lights up my world. I admire his ability to be so laid back, so easy to get along with. Yet time and time again, he's stood up for me, showed me his love and devotion at the slightest disrespect. I admire his continued striving to live when his mind tries to convince him he should die. I admire his humor and the way he keeps me on my toes. I admire his imagination, and the way he wants to set goals for himself, even when it feels impossible to accomplish the simplest tasks.

Here at Lit. again so many people. Before coming here there were times I felt like such a freak. Being able to read and interact with so many wonderful people has shown me that the world is big, but so full of like-minded people. Yet each individual that I've gotten to know has qualities that I admire. I've seen true friendship, I've seen triumph, I've seen love that lasts the distance, I've seen celebration, and care and concern when people are hurting or having a hard time. I've felt love and friendship. My friends here have become a treasure that I will always hold close to my heart. I've learned so much, and experienced so much in such a short period of time, and look forward to being able to continue coming here, playing, caring, loving, and getting to know people. I feel myself coming further and further out of my shell and for that I admire and thank everyone here. Even if I haven't yet interacted with them, I've read their posts and valued there experiences, opinions, desires, and feelings.

Thank you MissTaken for the oppotunity to express what's in my heart. I'm sure I'll be back often as I think of others.:rose:
 
I admire Stevie Yzerman for being a great hockey player for being a great Captian and for being a great human being in general...

I want to say that LadyBird and Dragonette are wonderful people who have gained my friendship and respect...I admire Sortacurious because she is so nice and has to deal with a lot in R/L ;) I have grown to admire angleofsex for her strenth and courage:) Jewelz for just being Jewelz:) I admire wierd harold for always helping others and having so much patience it is beyond me how he does it..To my friends at the mens club they know there sport and they like to trash talk but always in fun it never gets personal..Devil Doll for keeping punk alive..My friend Carrie on for taking the time to check in on me to see how I am doing when she is a very busy lady...Now I sit here wondering who did I forget probably some one but it was a long night filled with alot of partying til the wee hours so I am a little a little fuzzy at the moment...Oh wait there is also Emerald eyes because she is straight forward and tells it like it is without worrying what others might think ...To the others I may have forgotten please forgive me and know it isn't personal and I may come back to this thread to add on to it..Take care all and have a great day:)

I've looked at this thread several times over the past two days. Everytime I do one person stands out in my mind. She is someone that is a very special friend to me. Someone that has been there for me over the past year in what has been the most difficult year of my life. It has not mattered to her how much I have tried to push away the friendship she offered me. It hasn't mattered how close I pull my walls around me, she has always been there waiting for me to emerge with the open arms of a true friend. She has understood that it is my hurt, my pain that I push between our friendship. Not many people can see through the barriers I put up and have assumed that they are the because of them. She has understood every step of my journey, encouraged me when I allow it, held me and listened to me cry when I sought solace. She has applauded my triumphs no matter how small they may appear to others. I admire her for the person she is, the friend she is. Grudgingly I also have to admire her ability to draw me out of my shell, and push me towards interacting once again with other people. I say grudgingly because I still want to run and find the security of my walls, my safe place where no new hurts can be found. It's a battle each and every day not to retreat back to those walls, but I do hear the truth of her words, and I know the hurt that I cause when I close myself off. Whspr, I love you hun. Thank you for making me live again.
It is all the qualities of what constitutes the word friend that I see and find in Whspr and admire.

The person I admire the most is my daughter. In her young life she has survived sexual abuse and anorexia, yet battled back to become a strong, independent and spirited young woman. She is my hero and I love her with all of my heart.

Children can be so resilient.

I find a lot of qualities in my children that I wish I could emulate.

Thank you, red.

It must have been difficult for you as well.

I know you didn't expect any reply to this, but how could I not.
I'm sitting here crying because that was beautiful. Now let me tell about you. You are the one I've called in the middle of the night when I didn't think I could go on. You are the one who invited me to your house to escape my world and find a few days of peace.
You spoke many words of wisdom to me....to keep me going.
You see....You have been a TRUE friend. You don't find many of those. I know right now I could call you and you would be there for me in any way you could. I love you FS. I give back what I get...and I get alot of love from you. Thank you my friend. I'll always love and admire you. Just maybe we will get to walk that beach again......

I love you again:rose:

I admire all the friends that I have met here on LIT....and some that I have not yet met. But have read their posts.

In r/l there are so many people I admire....women/men who raise their children alone...those who struggle in life every day but never give up


I admire all people who serve and protect and influence all the rest of us...doctors, nurses, firemen,police,teachers and of course all the armed forces.
 
I admire my Mother...

she was a strong woman and raised 7 children... No matter what I do she is right there to help and support me... She does not judge me for my wrong doings and I could always tell her everything....She taught me to read the whole book not just the outside cover..;)

I too admire the firemen, policeman, nurses, teachers, doctors and of course our Armed Forces for all they do...:rose:
