What's the greatest compliment you've ever received

Somebody on slashdot called me iconoclastic.

Probably the best i have ever received...
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
:hi:

I can never thank you enough." Actually mentioned several times

1)after changing a law that gave Nurses credit (1 for 1) for experience in other state hospital when they switched to School Nursing. Also got Nurse pay equated to teachers pay-in most instances they got paid less. Because of that, School Nurses in Texas could retire earlier and with a little dignity.

2)when I got 2 good Nurses to join the union after nagging and nagging. Later the union stood up and protected them, saving their jobs and careers.

The other..."You saved my child's life-thank you." mentioned at 2 different instances once when I

1)successfully preformed the Heimlich maneuver on a chocking child

2)when I got EMS to the school before a child's undiagnosed asthma closed her airway completely.

I consider myself lucky to have experienced this.

Those acknowledgments are few and far between. I am in a unique position. My rewards generally come from my knowledge of what could have happened, but because I did what I did-we had a happier outcome. I wouldn't mind an angel like Clarence showing me what would have happened-not that I am about to do something serious-just to see who I effected in my life.

though I like your art more than I like Radiohead's music.

I fucking love Radiohead, so I was quite happy to receive such a compliment.

the smartest person he knows

:blush:

it never got past that, but it was still nice to be asked!

= ego * 10

you're better looking than that!

:hi:

"I mean, REALLY sing!"

That, and recently, "Mama, you're the best mama in the whole world!" Gratifying, even if it's coming from a biased source! :D

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

~ my kids (all three have said it on occasion)

:D

At least I've done one (ok 3) things right so far.

My daughter called me on Mother's Day to tell me I was a good mom. :rofl:

Now that I think, it did feel pretty good :D

You are prolly the bestest mother evah!

:)

:scared:

and didn't realize that I'd created it from scratch right then and there. :P They thought I was just playing something by an established composer, where I was actually just ad libbing.

When my lover of 18 years calls me bitch, whore, cunt, slut, I feel good. When he calls me angel, baby, love of my life I know he's angry and I've really fucked up.



Khash.

i went back east last year for a visit and i had dropped a whole bunch of weight so i'm out with my friend and another friend meets us and she says "Oh my god you look so good, did you get your nose fixed" and out of my unfixed original factory equipment nose beer to spew. i swear to god i don't i ever laughed so hard in my life. My friend Claire (n ot the commenter) started choking on her salad.

:D

:hug:


:)

If ever.

And when someone does compliment me, it means a lot.

:P

dont you think?

:P

told me that I made pretty babies...lol

She told me that if she ever has a daughter that she hopes she would turn out to be just like me. :)

I'll never forget Ms. Woods and how wonderful she was.

but you're a fucking asshole.

This, from my boss.

"...you're a great writer, and you have a true gift."

One of my friends told me that after I showed her a few parts of a story/novel I'm writing. Probably the nicest compliment anyone has ever paid me. :blush:

MAN was that guy high as FUGGGG.

Still. I tell people about it...hahaha.

is by far the best ever.

I will tell you all one thing that happened years ago that was very flattering at the time...

I was in a bar in Traverse City Michigan with a bunch of friends, and on my way to the restroom I was grabbed by a girl and taken back to her table as an object lesson in how a mans ass should look...

Apparently, I had the "best ass in the bar" according to them.

I have actually been told that three times, once by them, once by another girl later in life, and by my Fiance...

:rofl: :hi:

if I counted all the times you said that I would be at a Brazillion... http://www.instantrimshot.com/

:rofl:

A friend of mine's father, who led a company of the 101st Airborne Division at Normandy in 1944, told me he thought I'd have made a fine Airborne Captain.

Of course, we were in the midst of polishing off a bottle of Jim Beam at the time and, of course, I never got above PFC in the Army Signal Corps, but it was humbling and I remember it to this day. And I DO much prefer to lead than to follow.

highest compliment I could EVER hope to receive.

which is a great compliment in and of itself, but it came from a person who is so amazing in their own right, and that made the compliment all the more meaningful. :-)

it read, "Ewe make me laugh" and had a little sheep on it.

That was kind of her to say that... even in a greeting card.

gave them something they can use in their lives, or put into practice in a way that will make a positive difference. That's the frosting on my cupcake.

best compliment I ever received.

which actually is maybe not a compliment as it's just comparing my parenting style of actually acknowledging my children exist to her style of "which one are you again?"

:blush: :loveya: sis

which I thought was neat.

At the exact moment that I needed it.

works for me.

sent me an e-mail after the semester ended. Throughout the academic term, she'd always been very professional and careful not to play favorites or heap praise on any one particular student, so I honestly thought that she considered my work average at best. Until I got that e-mail. It said:

"Hey! Now that I'm no longer "officially" your teacher, let me say: you are one KICK-ASS poet! Want to get together and have drinks sometime before I move back to Pittsburgh?"

I was floored. She's incredibly talented, so this was HUGH!!11 to me.

you are.

:yourock:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

"This was far beyond Master's-level work."

...my husband's cousin told me that, one time while they were talking over a beer, Leonard told him that he hadn't regretted being married to me for one single day of our marriage.

I knew he loved me, but to hear that from someone else...that he let someone else in on it... blew me away.
