    I have 122 fans?!!  I am honored and touched.  It's something I want to be grateful for today.  Thank you guys for the support.  I guess I didn't quite expect it since I don't have a lot of time to be on the net.  But I've met really great hubbers here (smart, funny, warm, witty, nice...)  and even enjoy reading the debates and exchange of ideas on the forums.  I just want to say I am glad to be hubbing with you.   wink

    I'm your fan!

    I think you're a sweet person, and you've got a cool avatar, you've always been nice on the forums (that I've seen) and it's nice to have someone who is so positive around.  smile  Yay for you!

    Ripplemaker - how could one not be your fan?!  I think I joined your fan club as one of the first, once I joined HubPages!  Your spirit shines though your avatar and your hubs!  We love having you here!  smile

    Congratulations, by the way!

    Thanks guys.  You are my inspiration to write better hubs..as well as be a better person.  Do you know it takes one to know one?  big_smile It's a delight knowing each of you "through your hubs" that's why I love being part of this community.

    Ripplemaker, admittedly I only joined your fan club a couple of months ago, but you are certainly inspirational and I am definitely proud to be your fan.

    Wonderful Ripplemaker! 

    It just feels nice to know people think enough of what you write to take the time to become a fan, or "friend".

    I really enjoy the Hubs that you write, and it is an honor to let you know that through fanship:-)

      Amazed actually.  When you first asked me to join hubpages, I joined because you recommended it. big_smile  And I'm glad that you are now active in the forums.  The cats must be well fed and happy huh?  Like momma Susan lol

        Oh yes, I have been very active in the forums lately.  I even got myself my very own stalker who turned out to be not stalking me after all. tongue Hehe. And the kittens are well-fed, happy, and doing a Cat In The Hat around my room right now. lol

        By the way, hope "the parents" don't stress you out too much. big_smile

    Hi Soya and Bonnie, many many thanks smile 

    I just added something to my profile yesterday...it says... "Am I always spreading positive ripples?  Nah, I am very much human like you.  I have my "bad" days when I can be a mean and cranky monster who doesn't know any better.  I fall, make mistakes, cry myself to sleep and wish bad guys would turn into frogs.  But for the most parts, I now believe that there is perfection in the imperfection.  And I begin to see my perspective change."

    lol  Life is beautiful and so are you guys.  So are you.  Have a wonderful week ahead.

    lol  Hi teacher Susan, almost stressed me out but I guess going up the mountaintop for the way of the cross helped.  My 4 year old nephew, Aldrich wanted to hold my hand while we walked which was very endearing of him.  And he used the way of the cross guide as his "map."  So he was asking, are we going to the 6th station now?"  He looked at the little leaflet and muttered aloud, "go up the hill, turn right and when you reach the 6th station, have fun."  One can't help but smile at that.  Glad to know all is well with the cats in the hats lol
