Make a member feel good today thread: todays member HISSY !

[ash_bct]

MA, it seems that no matter what is going on in your life, you always take the time to help everyone here at TCS out, whatever the question you are asked. It takes a very special soul to do that, you are a very very inspiring person~
Thanks~

 

[kumbulu]

Five words to MA:

SO MUCH.

 

[hissy]

Thanks guys, really. But if the truth be known, ALL of you give back daily more than I could ever equal. Just by being here and sharing your stories and asking questions. You encourage me to share what I know, and find out questions just to satisfy my own curiousity. All of you are great~

Only a true selfless person would be able to see all the good everyone else does above her own good

You truely are an inspiration to many, you may not see, or understand, but you are.

I am repeating this since some things ARE worth repeating. I've revised it to fit this thread.

When we didn't want to face things that happened we went on living as we normally did so that we didn't have to face the truth. I think many of us have had close calls or a "wake-up call". (Sometimes I think God likes to give us a strong jolt to wake us up rather than make us sleep forever, if you know what I mean?)

You, MA, have been there to defuse our situations through your wisdom, heart, and words. You are strong and caring and very loved and respected. By your words you toughen us up and tell us to "Do with what you have to help with what you can." You give a softer side approach, to us people with no faces, that willingly accept your words of support, wisdom, and love and mix it with our own experience, to fix the problem we're going through.

You show us your true colors. My therapist has told me that you judge a person best by how he/she acts under pressure. Just look how you pulled us through the countless times you have!!!!

Once you said you were humbled to be among us....well MA, we simply allow you to bring out who you are by asking for your help. Seems to me we're the ones who are truly humbled by your friendship, love, and wisdom (from which you received from your Mom). Simply put......thank you with love.

I haven't been part of the forum for very long this and last time I wasn't around much but when I was hanging out in the forum I saw how great Mary Anne was. She makes everyone feel welcome here, she's given great advice and comfort to those who are in need. Mary Anne you sound so terrific I can't wait to get to know you better.

 

[kathryn41]

I am still relatively new to this group as well, but from the very beginning one name stood out over and over again - Hissy - and each and every one of her posts showed wisdom, compassion, humanity, diplomacy, and an all-encompassing love for cats. Thank you:-).

Kathryn

although i dont know you too well on a personal level because we really havent talked one on one... i think that your a great person! you have some very interesting and useful insight on things. I thank you for all the wonderful comments on all these threads.. and, it is a pleasure to know you!!

 

[dawnofsierra]

I could never tell you enough, Mary Anne, you must be the most loving, gentle, kind, tenderhearted, generous woman I've ever had the pleasure to know. You have so much love to give, and you come running at the first sign of any being in need to scoop them up in your arms and take them under your wing to privide the love they may have never known and the life they so much deserve. You're warm and caring and always seek to bring comfort to anyone in pain and advice to all in need. I could go on and on...

 

[dianne1601]

As a new member I haven't had the chance to really get to know anyone very well....yet; but I do know that when I was frantically looking for advice regarding my 3 day old kittens Hissy was first on the scene to offer valuable advice. Thank you darlin! You're a life saver, literally!

 

[rapunzel47]

The critter who knows Mary Anne's touch and care is indeed blessed -- as are all those of human persuasion who cross her path and experience her compassion, her wisdom, her humanity, her humour. Thanks for all you give so freely to this community, MA. You're the best.

 

[batgirl2good]

Hissy, I am praying for you and for your husband. I hope things are better. Thank you for everything you do on these forums.

Since I'm starting it, I'll pick today's recipient, then tomorrow she can pick tomorrow's recipent, ok? In that case, to get the ball rolling, my choice, as the title implies, is

HISSY !

Well, everyone took the words right out of my mouth. MA has been a great person ever since I joined this site. Very thoughtful, caring and I love reading her fun replies.

P.S. This type of thread was a great idea! For the love of catnip, feel the love people!

 

[hissy]

Can i go hide under a rock now........please?

I can't find a rock so I will use a couch.

Truly all of you overwhelm me, and Kelly, showing me the pictures of your feral kitten before and after made me smile, and brought tears of joy into my heart.

I have been told I am harsh with people, and in a way I guess I am. without really meaning to be. Because I am here for the love of cats and for their well-being. If I have to step on a few human feelings along the way in order to get a point across or to help a cat in pain or danger, that's what I do.

It's nice to see that I haven't trampled over the tops of all of you.

Again I thank you for your warm words and kind sentiments.

How grand that this thread is there to honor a person Just Because - for the entire day, and our first one is MaryAnne.

I cannot think of a person whom I would trust more in an emergency to keep a cool head and warm heart; to go to for some of the best cat expertise ever; to be in a little awe over the innate animal talent and gifts she posesses; to ask to be a friend in times of need; to emulate as far as ethics and dignity when dealing with some of the toughest issues we face in life; and for having the guts to step up to the plate and Just Nail It --when she really is a very soft-spoken marshmallow.

Oh yeah, and who I would go to for a super-secret salsa recipe, too!

Get out from unerneath that couch, woman!
Your TCS friends +++ to the north,
Elizabeth, Eric, and Sasha

Hissy, you're 100% deserving of all the wonderful things everyone here has been saying about you. Thank you so much for being a part of this community....and by the way: You Rock!!!!!!!

 

[pat]

I have gone from finding a professional person to do some advertising with who was courteous, quick, and very helpful, to finding something I'd not thought I'd find again...a warm, wonderful cat loving environment...colored very much by the character and integrity, the warmth of Hissy.

 

[lorie d.]

Oh my goodness!!!! Look who's here...
Give me an H...give me an I... give me an SSY!!!! Put them all together and what do they spell?????? HISSY!!!!!!!!!!

 

[wellingtoncats]

Mary Anne-

I don't know what to say. You are an inspiration, and you have a way with words that simply amazes me. Keep it up chick! You sure do rock!

Sam.

 

[yayi]

Mary Anne, it is truly an honor!
