Note: I took a file from Todd Schoonover and added it to this file because he had some great pictures already posted and think it will create a larger effect on this one here.

Remember, if your image is not here yet, it’s because I haven’t posted it from the 45-50 pages of entries I have received in 2006/2007! So don’t worry, your avatar will be here shortly. Thank you all for making this experiences a wonderful and remarkable one.

PS I am taking special requests if anyone is really impatient ha ha.

Update: If you want to be added to the collage just send me a note or a comment and I will add your j-peg file photo to the “43 thing Time Capsule.” If hope to have everyone pictured her, including all the ROBOTS! some time in the near future. Please pass the word and the file location around as you wish

If you would rather not then, you can let me know and I will not post your photo here.

(((((((Love 43 Things around the World)))))

Mc Huggs :)

I have been here about seven months and met hundreds of people, completed over 300 things, given out 4500 cheers and 52 are currently subscribed to my rantings.

The highlights and things I have learned:

1. Always project a postive self image and never lie about the truth.
2.Be honest and sincere when you cheerbomb and try to help people with whatever problem they may have.
3.KGC is very Kinky indeed and gender doesn’t matter when you join a women’s or men’s club.
4. My video of then year has to be Juan Mann’s Free Hugs= with over 8.4 million views on You Tube and still makes me cry if I watch the whole thing ^sigh
5. It’s okay to cry when your sad, when your mom’s dying of cancer.
6. Women’s issues are the most passionate to me. I still don’t understand why this is but I will not try to change it. My floral designs have brought beauty into this world and I still want to pursue this dream, this passion of mine.
7. I found out that I am a “feminine man” who loves the companionship of other women and this does not have to be in a romantic, sexual fashion. I love my wife and accept who I am. and yes, men can have women friends and not be sexually aroused, want to cheat on their wives, or have affairs.
8. I am not gay, not that there is anything wrong with that, I am a transgender male who does not wish to change his sex or have a sex change as the literature on the web suggests. I just love living my life this way.
9. I must drive people crazy by always mentioning my painted toenails but it’s my trademark as one of my floral design school collagues mentioned earlier this summer and nothing to be ashamed of. I will keep doing this weekly, bi-weekly for 2007 also.
10. Code PInk means peace and pink love. The women of Code Pink are beautiful, compassionate and intelligent women who want to speed up and end the war in Iraq. I learned so much about activism and non violent principles this year which I would have never learned anywhere else.
11. Breast Cancer-I volunteered for the Avon Walk’s Crew Team, Susan Komen 3 Day Walk, tent nd gear crew team, Deb McNeil’s two year vigil to have a Cure Breast Cancer License Plate, which I will have this week.
12. NARAL Pro-Choice-we helped stopped the abortion ban in S.Dakota through campainging and phone banking, which I would do again. A women has her won choice when it comes to aborption, which I will support fully!
13. Express the loss of a hero to the wildlife and nature Steve Irwin. WHo legacy will carry on for many years to come.
14. How many birthdays did we celebrate this year?
15. What about the popularity of Bravo’s Project Runway? I learned to love fashion this year.
16. If you post a random question daily, people will answer it.
17. I never finished my list of 50 women but will continue after the holidays.
18. The best web page to visit when you down and want to feel happy is by far, my dear friend serendipityprimrose who has a vast and lovely collection of angels, cute care bears, dolphins, ponies, and I am not afraid to admit that I am one of her biggest fan and her care bear ^sigh
19. The fantastic Robots of 43 things are the real heroes of 43 things, without them none of us could meet one another, chat and help one another, even when they had problems on the web site, I think we all huddled together and had faith we would be back.
20. I wish to thank all of you who prayed, wished her well, sent psalms, good energy, caring, compassion and support for my mom and my famalies. The comments I have received were overwhelming and many, many times, left me in tears, which gave me strength in dealing with this.
21. I have found Love, from the many hundreds of people here who still comment on something I have written as I have done the same. It amazes me that I, a shy 48 year old marreid man, starts by writing a small and tiny thing and receives 100 times its size back. I don’t not think I have ever been insulted, threatened, here on 43 things. I have made many mistakes and maybe some people have blocked me for whatever reason, however, I have never received any nasty comments in 7 months here. Which says to me that the majority of this web site is love, support, caring, being in a helpful community a family of friendship. Many may not realize this but it must be true.
22. I learend how to accept loss, I have to understand that my mom’s conditiion is now in God’s hands. She is not doing well last I seen her tonight at the hospital, she was not herself, in pain and wish we could help her more. I believe my journey this year is leading up to my accepting this loss, the first one I have felt personally, which is hugh.
23. My depression is being controlled by the situation of my mom, I am not on any anti-depressants, still involved with weekly therapy and going back to regular workouts. I still journal on my PC and stay involved with social activities, my women’s feminism groups so I don’t go back to crawling into a shell.
24. Be yourself, be true to your heart, cry whenever your sad and not be afraid to cry, be passionate, volunteer for something you believe in and most of all…
25. Give out as many cheers as you can, what you get back will be much, much more than you could ever imagine. Peace and Happiest New Year all you 43 thing members…
26. My love to my beautiful and sexy wife Diana, which none of this would never be possible, who supported me in my dreams and goals…
