Anyone that's been around these forums knows that there is a "feel good" vibe to this place and the people that hang out here....
I thought it might be cool to have a thread to post thanks - in general or in particular - and to share about those "Random Acts of Kindness" that happen in life and at Stagecoach ;)
I have two to start out with:
:D Thank you to the person here who noticed and made a difference (hopefully you will read this - you know who you are)....you rock!! And I will be contacting you soon by e-mail :)
:D Thank you to a certain guy who was willing to share some liquid refreshments with this old lady at SC09.....those few moments and little sips helped to set the stage for a wonderful weekend!
C'mon, peeps, I know there are more good things to share!!!

Great thread! Can I use names? Should I? I will, give credit where credit is due....
I could say something wonderful about everybody I've met thus far!
Thanks to:
1. tgcali for being a wonderful and supportive friend. For being there when I was down, and making me smile (mmmm, chocolate covered strawberries!). And for listening to my non-stop ramblings :-)
2. countrygirlucr (whose screenname I probably screwed up) for the FANTASTIC calendar :D and for bein a good friend to me and always finding a "way in"
3. unclefeiny for putting up with me at my boy-craziest time, lol. And for being able to drink more than me. Good job on that!
4. IHML and Kittyleigh for opening up your campsite to me last year (you two were the ringleaders) and being a TON of fun!
5. Temo and crew for the much needed double cheeseburgers at SC09. I was STARVING! (tgcali helped in my food needs as well)
6. Hodgee for....magic in a cup and yahtzee fun
7. Raquelita for my snuggie! And for bein an all around sweetheart
8. FestivalFan, my partner in crime. You are so awesome and organized and I love ya!
9. Rose for takin a shot of JD with me last year. That's all I got to know of you thus far, but plenty of time this SC!
10. HonkyTonker for making me lose the game, making make weird sex noises in public and for being a blast and knowing how to tie a bandanna!
11. Brittany (my mind is blanking on your screenname!) thanks for the water and shade last year and the jello shots (I *think* they made it to our camp!).
12. WestCoastLady for makin me smile :)
Crap! Who am I missing?? Who??? It's not on purpose, I'll remember and come back!

This thread had a point didn't it?
Oh yeah, I remember now.
1. IHML & KittyLeigh ~ Thank you for befriending Little Bit and I and making us feel welcome our first year and a HUGE thank you for scoping out the spots for our group last year.
2. Chev ~ Thank you for organizing our group and taking care of the RVs and everything you're doing with that. Thank you again for the invitation to come to the Angel's game and stay at your place. You are a very gracious hostess and a good friend.
3. Festival ~ Huge, huge props for taking on the organization, planning and payments for our board t-shirts not one, but two years in a row!
4. DeeGee ~ Thank you so much for inviting our teams to stay at your place and opening your home to all of us for Over The Line. Little Bit loved the marshmallow roasting in the fire pit and she still talks about getting the best of Scott in the insult department! (Sorry, can't remember the proper username....)
6. To everyone that was in our camping group last year ~ I sincerely thank you all for the care you gave my daughter. This is the 'big' party weekend for most of you and everyone was very accepting of her camping with the group. Everyone was fine with her being there and didn't make us feel like she was cramping their style. Not only that, but you were all very 'motherly' and 'fatherly' of her. She was in extremely good hands and your acceptance of a teen and your friendliness were greatly appreciated by both her and myself.
7. Squimy Steph & Sister Sheila ~ A special thank you to you lovely Ladies for befriending Little Bit. She absolutely adores you both.
8. Hodgee & HonkeyTonker ~ I know I included everyone in our group last year in my thank you up above. However I wanted to give a special Thank You to you both. Both of you were extraordinary with Little Bit last year. Friendly, protective, fun loving....I can't thank you enough for that. She and I have reached the point where she will be starting to date in the not too distant future and the two of you are prime examples I can use when trying to make her understand what she should be willing to accept and expect in terms of how she is treated by the boys she dates. Gracious, well-mannered, fun loving, respectful. Having such examples to give her is invaluable.
This list is in no particular order. I will add more as I think of them. (I'm at work...)
Looking forward to playing with everyone again this year! You guys are my SC Family and you ROCK!
