Not enough happy threads in here!

So I was down earlier. After an hour of telling my fiance about my hurt and opening up my soul, and he felt free to open up his, he paid me what is possibly the biggest compliment of my life that I could get from a life partner:

"You're the best friend I've ever had."

It's so simple, but it made me cry. I've never heard those words out of a middle-aged man's mouth in such a powerful way.

So come on. What's the nicest thing someone said to you?

Last week, when I told a friend I would be cooking dinner for my princess, she said something like "that's so sweet - but of course I would expect nothing less than sweetness from you!"

NotesMaeve · 11-07-2007, 06:46 AM

^ What your friend said is incredibly sweet AND accurate. Smart cookie!

"You have the most beautiful cervix I have ever seen!" - said a good looking, charming, young gynecologist

Unfortunately half of aforesaid cervix was later operated out. Too bad, I lost my most precious asset...

robertanthony · 11-07-2007, 11:34 AM

' I love you more than my life' - in French

Savage · 11-07-2007, 02:04 PM

"I finally quit my job in order to do what I'm really meant to do. I'm scared but I'm doing it anyway."

LifeFirst · 11-07-2007, 02:22 PM

You have a smile that can light up the World

- it would have been better if it was said by a girl but...hell...I'll take any compliment if they giving it away.

Honey, you couldn't lose that if you tried.

cdn2wheeler · 11-07-2007, 05:44 PM

"Wow, I've NEVER heard someone play drums like THAT! That was AMAZING..!"

Old Soul · 11-08-2007, 10:53 AM

Hmmm I think this is a compliment lol

My neighbor wanted me to go for a walk and have coffee at the coffee shop , so we did, I knew her but not all that* well, as we had only been living here a short time mostly just neighbor relationship.... and walking back we sat down and had our coffee at the park, chatting etc...afterwards getting ready to leave
then she turns to me and says :

"you know , you are the first woman I have ever met , whom I don't feel I have to read through layers of bs, to get to knowthe real person ... who you are on the inside, radiates to who you are on the outside!!....

next day she puts a very nice poem in my mailbox that she wrote to me,

I was dumb founded... I thought what did i say that touched her so much, I have never had anyone say this to me before it was quite a kind gesture

NotesMaeve · 11-19-2007, 11:04 PM

Hahaha. YES.

He IS 39. He's about halfway through his life, but he isn't old by any means.

To get back on topic, I thought this was incredibly sweet from my brother: "I really respect that you're growing as a person and making a conscious effort to grow."

Akashic_Librarian · 11-20-2007, 06:18 AM

"If I'd have stayed at Brooky (our school, actual name The Brooksbank School lol) then I would have gone out with you."

Doesn't get much sweeter than that in my opinion!

This gets worse. So it's downhill from now, care homes and funeral arrangements. Poor old so-and-so. Has he still got his own hair?

NotesMaeve · 11-20-2007, 10:40 AM

OOOH, you get an A+ for making me laugh!

MOST OF IT, YES! And he has the most adorable half dollar sizedn gray patch on the left side of his head! No care homes for him. I look forward to the day he can't ward off my sexual intents because he's too feeble.

Ah, sweet brothers. Mine (who is younger, yet infinitely more intellectual, more highly educated, materially successful, etc) recently said, "I am SO proud of you for saying 'f*** it!' to what everyone else says and doing exactly what you want to do with your life. I hope I can be like you when I grow up."

Jennihul · 11-20-2007, 03:41 PM

At work I overhear people saying "Just ask Jen, she'll know..."

I'm happy to be a reliable resource for them.

Jennifer

Honeywith4bees · 11-20-2007, 07:58 PM

I love you. (especially nice hearing it from my 16 year old son, but I love hearing it from any one that KNOWS me, and means it.)

madgeylou · 11-21-2007, 09:48 PM

personally, when helping a friend through a hard time: "thank god for you, madge."

professionally, after finishing a project that had been attempted many times but never completed: "we've been trying to do this for 30 years. apparently all we needed was a madge!"

jsot · 11-22-2007, 02:13 AM

"You're one of the nicest people I've ever met."- girl in my class
