Fire Walk With Me: I'm calling you out!

[hootinholler]

For the yeoman's work in keeping us informed about the OWS movement.

For this you have my sincere thanks, gratitude and love.

I suppose that technically, I should lock this, but *squirrel*



P.S.: This thread was totally unknown to other mods and the admins. It reflects my opinion etc.

1. I'm just doing it for the unrecs

:blush:

:hide:

Everyone is doing their part, this is about everybody. N2doc with constantly killer comics, coaliton_unwilling with excellent reports, nadinbrzezinski, she's always on the money, deep thoughts...hissyspit and PETRUS, EFerrari and dixiegrrrrl, kpete and Luminous Animal, Kaleko and Donnachaidh...lunatica and marmar and one_voice and grasswire...Earth_First for actually being part of a team helping those foreclosed, Will Pitt's unbeatable perspective and writing...forgive me: "And the rest"...the real heroes are at the sites, getting arrested to make the point, to demand the dialogue...getting their heads cracked, disobeying police and illegal authorities...all of those here who protested in various ways in the 60s, etc...Tim, Spencer (OakFoSho), punkboyinsf...Veterans, Veterans for Peace, etc...Sgt. Shamar Thomas, Scott Olsen...KEITH OLBERMANN...Chris Hedges and how does my small work compare with Thom Hartmann...Ray Lewis, Dorli Rainey...they're the real heroes...bless them all...and =Anonymous=...thank YOU!

Wait, is this a subtle request to stop posting so much ;)

[Poll_Blind]

5. LOL!

:toast:

Thank you for putting up with that BS- there are many here, including myself, who follow your posts regularly.

Thanks!

7. Not that anyone's counting, but recs just went from 12 to 11.

:rofl:

[UnrepentantLiberal]

Why?

Are you hated or do people just unrec because is feels good?

[Fire Walk With Me]

49. Some of both. I am an addict and have an ugly past which many seek to never let me forget.

Some will never let me do the work necessary to fix it. And some will not believe me about my side.

I accept this and have done a lot of work upon myself and the reasons which drove me into ugliness, continue to do so, and attempt to spend my time helping what is truly important. Those who do not forgive me or do not believe that I take responsibility would seek to use language to break my relationships and opportunities. What this says about them, when I am attempting to make good, is up to the individual.

If they wish to take this "up" opportunity to bring me "down" and to attempt to drive a wedge between myself and the important work before us, so they shall, it is their nature. They can't touch me in my old field of music technology, so they'll likely try to hurt me in my small #Occupy work. Which only reveals them...and their utter lack of awareness of how IMPORTANT is this movement, and how imperative to it are each and every one of us.

;)

[tavalon]

56. Oh, my, I didnt' know about your addict history. Everyone whose trying to recover

deserves praise and support, not tearing down.

[Fire Walk With Me]

60. I'd happily settle for a quiet opportunity to fix what I've broken.

And I have to say that there is help for any who need it. I am grateful for the Help.

Thanks.

[dixiegrrrrl]

62. Ty for sharing..... I am sure there a lot of Anonymous 12 steppers here who understand.

( Jus' saying)



:yourock:

[Fire Walk With Me]

67. I'm only breaking anonymity because the wreckage of my past is NOT anonymous.

(secret handshake) Thanks!

[tavalon]

72. And remember if we out only ourselves, we aren't breaking the credo of 12 step

I'm a CoDA graduate who likely needs a refresh.

[hootinholler]

30. Many of the members you name have been called out by others...

I'm none too sure about that Will character, something about bees... Plus, he left a lucrative teaching career to write books. Go figure. (To teachers everywhere that income crack was sarcasm)

The stacks here are littered with threads about the experiences and writings of the others you mentioned. I submit that such is the stuff of which DU is made. It is why we come. Well I should really speak for myself. It is one reason I come here to DU.

Let me stress, this thread was totally unknown to other mods and the admins.

This is certainly not intended to slow you down in the rate you accumulate posts.

[Fire Walk With Me]

32. (bows) Thank you, it takes guts to mod in GD. Thank you for the thread.

[Dover]

:rofl:

[hootinholler]

10. Thanks! :D

That kind of stuff drives me mad.

Apparently they were farmers of a sort and then other things. How naval secretaries (Yeoman) got the name is beyond me.

36. Fire Walk, you should occupy this thread!

You rock!

Even if you did forget to include me on your wall of fame.

[Fire Walk With Me]

37. Look again...I did forget Blue in AK, H2O Man, Courtesy_Flush, Ken Burch

I never expected to have to name the names of those doing the Good Work!

[lunatica]

38. Now you know what it's like to get an Oscar

There's a reason the actors pull out their notes and name names as fast as they can until the music goes up. LOL!

[Oldtimeralso]

45. Or at the winner's circle in Nascar!

You have to get all of you sponsors names and some sort of TV shot in your winning interview. Now you see why I've said that all politicians should have to wear NASCAR driving suits all the time! Only then will the people know who has bought their allegiance.

[marmar]

39. Agreed.....Kudos to FWWM.

[Doc Holliday]

51. Fire Walk With Me

For the work you've done informing the rest of us (granted, with the help of others), you deserve some kind of recognition.

Acknowledgment, at the very least. As with so many things in this life, the ripples from the 'stones' you've been dropping are spreading out. We can never fully know what effect our actions have on and in the lives of others.

All you'll get from me, however, is a sincere & heartfelt "thank you." As we say here in Texas, you'll do to ride the river with.
