You always listen, no matter what.
You don't interrupt me in the middle of trying to compose a sentence to tell me what I should be thinking and feeling.
It doesn't matter how long it takes for me to come up with the right words. You just wait patiently until I post.
You don't try and fill in the words or complete my sentences for me. I can sit and wait for hours for a word I used to know to pop back into my mind.
If I make a mistake or say something stupid, I can even take back my words entirely, and you don't seem to mind.
You don't interrupt me in the middle of my rants to tell me to get over it, or to tell me to get a better attitude. You just let me rant away, until I get it all out of my system.
Then you offer gentle support, or a humorous kick in the pants or mallet to the head if I really need one.
I love it that I can commune with two or three thousand of my closest friends, who really understand me, and you'll always be there any time of the day or night with a smile, hugs, or a woo hoo to cheer me on.
Lymenet, and my individual lymenet friends, whose names are too numerous to mention, thanks for being there for me. What would I do without you? You're the best.
