I noticed what a huge following you have on twitter. I now know why. Thank you for being so authentic. It only encourages me to "be me" even that much more. (And yes, you do make a difference...well you just did!) May if we could all be transparent...imagine that world. Ok, ok, we can all stop picturing people walking around with see-through clothing on. *smirk* But really, thanks for being so uplifting by just being real.

I have a rotating quote generator on one of my blogs... can I add your quote to the mix? I attribute all quotes to their authors. I like the honesty in this entry. I recently learned a lesson in a similar vein. I love your quote! I have a rotating quote generator on one of my blogs… can I add your quote to the mix? I attribute all quotes to their authors.

Think I still have a few relatives over there. RE: being truthful - my hunch is that there's lots and lots that goes unsaid. Not necessarily not telling truth, but not being forthcoming, either. It's been interesting for me to watch Internet marketers attempt the shift from sending mass emails to participating in community-driven social media tools like blogging and twitter. You kinda have to be more natural/more real to make it work. That's not a problem for you. Thanks for setting a good example. @wiredprworks on twitter.com P.S. Have to thank you publicly. We've never met [except in the comment box and on twitter] and yet you sent me a prospect. That's a first.

You know where I'd suggest instead? Prague (Praha)! It's the most awesome place in Eastern Europe, have you been there yet? I haven't been to Budapest so I don't have a comparison but Prague is awesome. And re: ppl comparing their insides to another's outsides - very very true, happens a lot. We never really know what someone else is going through, unless they share it like you have in your wonderful, open way that you do. :) (btw, I'm very very happy to see more and more men disclosing that they've struggled with depression, which at it's source is negative thinking [I'm doing a course on this now and blogging about it]. Many men don't get help for their stress, anxiety, and/or depression because of fear of being looked at as "less than", and that is soooo far from the truth. These are the #1 emotional disorders in the world and nothing at all to be ashamed of. ;) ) C ya on Twitter and I'm keeping an eye out for your next live broadcast! :) JoLynn Braleys last blog post..<a href="http://www.thefitshack.com/2008/07/21/the-6-day-mini-makeover-plan-by-michael-thurmond/">The 6-Day Mini Makeover Plan by Michael Thurmond</a> Hi Rick,

I wouldn't do this RV thang solo for all the cashola in da world. Having said that, it's INTENSE to do as a couple. Talk about magnifying issues. haha. Hubby and I jokingly call this our mobile marriage bootcamp. Oh, and issues are AFGO's (another f'ing growth opportunity). :D Wait! If ya wanted to be proactive we could set up a nifty website? RickButtsWonderfulRelationship.com - something like that. Seriously, I bet your ideal gal is looking for you and through the help and support of your trusty social network community (NOT wading into the morass by yourself), you could meet a FAB gal!! Okay, I'm a big romantic. Cheers, Mari I can completely understand, Rick. I wouldn’t do this RV thang solo for all the cashola in da world. Having said that, it’s INTENSE to do as a couple.

I don't know why but each time I see your name, as when you post a comment here or Twitter - I can't help but smile.

Can I just say that this is my first time following you and I am so glad I was led to this post. Rick my man, I have been trying this IM stuff since 2006 and you are the first IMer that I am choosing to follow outside of a two or three others. I consider myself a pretty down-to-earth, transparent woman with no need to hide anything. I am glad to have found you and my hat is off to you as well as a glass raised! You are a treasure!

I'm having another love surge for da Butt. Really warmed my heart (and raised my eyebrows just a wee bit) to read such incredible candor. Well, even if Budapest manifests, you'd only ever be a tweet away. But I have a gr8 idea - how about sell your house & furniture and get a big ol' motorhome! :) You could follow in Charles Kuralt's footsteps and blog about all da peeps you meet?!
