A few days also, Miss Monika (aka catlover79) created a very special thread in my appreciation. And if that wasn't enough, Monika was there for me late last week and this weekend when I was having some personal difficulties and was a great friend and helped really cheer me up. As a way of saying thanks to her, I wanted to return the kindness and start my own thread for this really special girl.

And to clear up some nasty rumors that I've heard around here, Monika is not one of those old women who lives alone with 50 cats. To set the record straight, Monika is only 28 years old and only has 30 cats. :lol: ;)

Thanks again, Monika. :)

Actually, it's 3 cats. :lol: Mike, you are too much!! :D I am very flattered. :blush:

And she has an old hound dog on her couch and she enjoys sucking on those tiny packets of salt. :cool: :D :lol:

I LOVE YA!!!!!! CAN'T HELP IT. :cheer: I WILL DRINK TO THAT...:cheers::jig:

Actually, it's 3 cats. :lol: Mike, you are too much!! :D I am very flattered. :blush:


Monika, you are indeed a blast! How is the job working out now that the airhead has left?

Monika, you're def. one of the nicest posters here. It really is great having you over at the MTM board, esp. since we're about the same age and we seem to have a similar taste in TV shows aside from MTM.

Like Lauren said, feel free to PM me anytime. :)

To a great gal who's posts are both informative & fun!

:cheers: :cat: :cheer: :cheer: :tiphat: :kitties:

I remember when I created this thread for Monika. I had just been dumped by a girl named Melissa that I had been seeing for only a week. Melissa had dumped me for some really insane reason. Monika was there to help me through that very difficult period. I still appreciate her having been there. :)

Awwww...I appreciate all you guys, too!! :blush: :D

I always enjoy reading your posts, Monika. You are caring, funny, and interesting. :)

Monika definitely rocks! A great friend who gets my jokes! ;)

You are such a sweet, loving, and caring person. Not just to me but so many others here. I declair you shall be known as 'Monick S.O. Official Sweetheart' :D

Monika, is your house a Cat Shrine?

Because I knew someone who's house was a Cat Shrine. The weirdest thing was that my grandfather once he married her, had a jigsaw picture of Jesus and she replaced it with cats. That disturbed me.

But Monika, I know that you give me a lot of encouragement and know a lot about NE Ohio, such as Big Chuck and Lil' John.

To Monika: An interesting, smart, funny and kind person, who's posts I always enjoy reading. You are funny and you have a great sense of humor toward others, and empathy for them too! :D

No, it's not quite a cat shrine. Our three cats are spoiled enough as it is!! :lol: I miss Big Chuck & Lil' John, by the way, I especially loved the Ben Crazy sketch (a spoof of Ben Casey). :rofl:

Let me just add and say even though I dont know you that well, but you seem like a nice and warm person which is ok in my book. You also have a great knowledge of pop culture which makes this place a lot of fun, and to say that you are one of the best things to happen to this site is an understatment.


Here is to you sugar:) :) :) :cool: :cool:

Hey I just wanted to tell you how much fun I had chatting back and forth with you the other night on the "safe kissing" thread. It was really nice of you to laugh at all my silly jokes!!! You really are one of the nicest people on S.O.

Marv:wave:

Catlover aka Monika, we enjoy a lot of good laughs over at the Sports Board and I see you posting and on the Chit Chat section a lot. You seem to do a lot and people enjoy your presence at this site. I congratulate you on that!

:cheer: for Monika! you're really nice and great to chat with. Thanks for making me laugh :lol:.

Monika's my girl! She's the sweetest on here and love reading her posts! DON'T EVER LEAVE!

Wow--I thought this was a fresh new thread! :lol:

I'm so glad Monika got her own appreciation thread. I think she's a very sweet lady. :)

Thanks again for them kind words, everybody. :bighug: I'm watching Season 4 of Soap right now, and if anyone wants to get me a Christmas gift, leave Gregory Sierra under my Christmas tree and I'll be a happy girl. :lol: Here's what I look like right now watching the episodes he's in:

Monika is very sweet, and seems to have a huge heart!! :) I love reading her threads, and even though we don't know each other all that well, I hope that will change soon. Monika is awesome, and deserves all the appreciation she's been given, and much more!!! :D

Thank you Brad - and thanks for the sweet PM you sent me. I'm terrible about responding to PMs - I get on the boards and I forget all about the PMs. :o :lol: I think you're a terrific person as well!! :wave:

Hey Monika!!! You are so much fun to have around on SO and I honestly think your posts are bright, intelligent and funny. Keep them up!

Thanks again, everyone. I have had an absolutely rotten week and seeing your posts have helped lift my spirits a bit. :bighug:

^ Sorry you're having a bad week, hopefully next week will be much better!

Aww sorry to hear that Monika. I hope things get better for you. :)

Thank you both - I didn't get the job I applied for this week (the one I SO had my heart set on) and I'm trying to get adjusted to a new dosage of my anti-anxiety meds. Needless to say I am not a very happy camper right now.

It seems like everyone I know is going throught tough times right now. Just try to be positive. Things will get better soon.

Monika, you are such a sweet girl. I always love to here responses from you and love chatting with you in general. I hope you stay here for a while, and I hope I never loose a friend like you! thanks for being so cool:bighug:.

I'm so sorry to hear you aren't feelin so great right now, Monika.
Just know that I love ya, and I think you're a totally special person... I'll be praying you get through all of this.

Big hug! :bighug:

I'm sorry to hear this, Monika. Get better, and I STILL appreciate you, btw. :heart:

Monika, I'm sorry you didn't get the job you wanted but I'm sure God has something even better planned for you! In the mean time here is a hug to help you feel better! :bighug:

Please add my well wishes to the pool. On almost every message board I've visited, there seems to be someone who could be described as the "heart" of the place, and on this one, it seems to be her. :)

I'm sorry that your week hasn't been going better, Monika. I'm sure the next job that you apply for you will get it. Heck, you'll be running the company by the time you are 40. I know that you put in a lot of hard work on the job, and I know you will be rewarded for it eventuially.

Adjusting to higher dosages of depression and/or anxiety medications can be really uncomfortable. When I first started taking my medication ten years ago, I doctor had to increase the dosage several times over the next few years. Everytime there was an increase, I would get sick. But since it made me feel better, it was well worth it in the end. I know that you'll be back to your smiling self really soon. :)

:bighug:

I'm sorry that you didn't get the job Monika and I'm sorry that you didn't have a good week. Best wishes to you! Here's a big hug from me. :bighug:

Monika I am sorry you didn't get that job. It will get better soon. I am going through a lot of the same struggles right now too. I am also looking for a job and it is not easy. :(

You are without a doubt one of the nicest people on this thread and I always enjoy your posts. Hope to continue chatting with you in the future. :wave:
