I think it's time we turned our attention to
that oh so lovable mynxcat. She'd probably
be uncomfortable nominating herself for
accolades so...
Let's hear some nice things about Sapna!

She does a nice job of promoting the Grexer Gallery.

I find what Mary has to say is just about always worth reading and
considering. She's intelligent and has a much different perspective
than I do. She cares very much about people. If I were hospitalized,
she'd be the kind of person I'd want for a nurse.
Her loginid on M-Net was "chelsea". It remains one of my favorite all-
time loginids.

I love mary because she was the first face I saw after a surgery I
had. She was like an angel, she was so nice and sweet, even after I
puked on the doctor.

Mary is quite handy with the soft drinks and graham crackers when you're
feeling queasy. That, and she has about the most consistently sharply
pointed wit I know of, and never seems to miss her target. She's
diplomatic, persistent, and committed to her principles without being
closed-minded. If I ever have kids, I'd want them to adopt her as a role
model. (Plus I think she'd be hella fun for them as a stand-in gramma!)

Okay, now I'm going to put my foot down and *insist* we talk
about mynxcat. Please? ;-)
Thanks, all who commented. But the gramma thing was too cruel. ;-)

Don't worry, Mary, Eric won't have kids for another 60 years or so. :)

One does NOT defy Mary Remmers, lest one be subjected to gentle, warm-
hearted, kindly intended local nuclear attacks and the like.
I've never met Sapna, and don't know a great deal about her, other than
her postings about India and her creation of this item. This item says
a lot about her. It's a very nice item, and it's *working*; giving
people an opportunity to say lots of nice things about others. We
focus too much on non-people things sometimes. When we talk about
people, too often it's problems. Sapna has turned that around in this
item.

Thank you :) That was the main aim of this item. I've seen too many items
where a political discussion, or even a mechanical one takes a mud-slinging
turn.
Also, I've met very few of the people who post on here. I have formed opinions
of most people based on what they post and what's posted about them. This item
has been pretty helpful in knowing some of these people better (I'd rather
not focus on their negative points, I prolly won't meet many of these people,
so I'm not interested in their failings)

Very well put, jep. I totally agree with your assessment of Sapna. I
also like listening to her stories about her life. You know, getting
the cat, the car stuff, things like that.

John/Jep - Good friend, strong, wise, willing to learn, great dad.
Mary - Intelligent, partner in crime to John, pointed wit, diplomatic.
Sapna - Supportive, intelligent, beautiful (How I envy the hair!), kind.

Brooke, we haven't spoken since I did it, but the curly hair's gone. Spent
$500 to straighten it using that Japanese thermal conditioning, and it's
pretty straight now. Still wondering if I made the right choice.
Thanks for the kind words. :)

Just to note, resp:78 refers to Mary as "partner in crime to John".
Brooke doubtless meant remmers, her husband, and not me, jep. (-:

Damnit I got here too late! I wanna say that Mr Remmers is my favorite Grexer!
He is a gentleman to all the ladies and is really helpful when I have a Grex
question. He's a guy that can blend in with the hip crowd. :)
I like Russ, he offered to have a huge party for susieque and I when when
visit Michigan! ;) He has always been nice to me and interested in what I have
to say.. or at least that is what my impressions of him have been. Though I've
never met in person.
I don't know jep at all. I don't know bru or mrs remmers that well.
I have met Sapna. She flew to California with a friend and decided to go out
of her way to meet me! We had alot of fun and for me being a really shy and
quiet person, I found it easy to talk and laugh with her.

I'd say Sapna put some of my old memories back into Grex... she's fun-
loving and enjoys party, which I haven't had as much patience for
because the flavor of participation has changed since I last
participated about seven years ago. But again, very vibrant and
youthful, which I think is a good thing for Grex.

Aww, thank you.
Polytarp/dah/David Hoffman is indeed most vibrant and youthful, though he is
incredibly shy on the phone. If you want to have a phone conversation, talk
to naftee. But I digress.
What I like about mary, and this I learned from remmers is that she took on
the oboe or cello about 10 years ago, learned to play it, and plays it well.
She was one of the people who inspired me to start learning the piano so late,
I was apprehensive about being an adult beginner. Apart from that she has
quite a sharp wit. And has gone out of her way to look at other options like
colo for grex.
Next on the list would be munkey. I'll start. Even though munkey did not state
me as her favorite grexer ( :(), she definitely is one of mine. I remember
munkey from 1998, when I first started using grex (under a different
login), and I liked her even then. I remember looking at her old homepage,
with the swinging monkey. I got to know her better in 2002, when I returned
to grex, and had the good fortune to meet her last year. She was definitely
a lot of fun, and meeting her in person strengthened my belief in her as a
wonderful human being. She's great with web-design, and designed a web=page
for my cat, free of charge (www.geocities.com/mynxie2002), and of course we
have www.grexergallery.net which has been a great success. Besides designing
it, munkey is also paying for the domain name and web-space. Any offering to
help is met with instructions to donate the money to grex. I for one am very
glad to have met her (and we did share quite a few, ahem, secrets at one
point).
so what do you guys think about munkey?
