hey there say, crimie and you guys...
i just knewwwwwwwwwwww there was some more folks out there
that would want to see this...
:)
really, every time we help someone in life, here, it is like helping
another folks climb through a situation that would be a bit of a
'boxed in canyon' if not...
*we all know when we need to help our self, first... but when all is
resourced out, as to tools, neccessities, or even knowledge, it is sure
good to have a climber buddy around... even if you DON'T really climb more than a neat hill, a neat tree, a neat set of scramble rocks, a scary ladder, or the stairs--or climb onto a high stool,to type on the supertopo-net.... :)
have a great week out there john, or actually soon to be weekend...
and for us that have been helped, we can pass-on kindnesses of our own, to those nearby or to our climber buddies there... or to someone that is sick somewhere and could use a "we are thinking about you" please get well soon!
:)
ooooooo--am up early! got to work on secret-project, ;))

Good call, Neebee!
johntp is pretty quiet, and so it can be easy to miss his words amongst the loud and abrasive ones that dominate at times. But he is a steady, solid, presence here, and it seems I am not the only one who has been thrown a lifesaver by him when I was sinking.
It would be great to meet John. Heck - maybe I already have; I am just SO unable to recollect names and faces.... Maybe he will make it to the Todd Party in April????

JOHNTP is aces in my book. He sent me an email to help kick in for funds for the electrical at Todd's. I thanked him and requested he send it to Dave to keep the continuity.
Thanks again John!

Thanks all for the kind comments.
As I have written before, there are a lot of fine folks on the taco. Jello and Tarbuster gave my initial post a hello. I was taken back that climbers with their history would take the time to post a reply.
There is a lot of spewing and vitriol here on this forum. But there is a lot of caring. Ya'll have sent me kind thoughts and deeds; it means a lot and I thank you. I care about the taco heads.
excepting skully, who out bid me for the tami cartoon. you suck, :)

Wow I can't believe I have missed this thread before now.
JohnTP is a generous, considerate and thoughtful man who I would love to meet and be honored to rope up with. He really stepped up to the plate for me when things were frighteningly bleak. This world would be a far better place with a few more souls like his around. I know the Taco is better for his presence.
JohnTP, thank you for helping me have a legitimate excuse for being such a stiff necked SOB. :)

hey there, say, all...
with the newyear soon approaching...
just wanted to share...
thanks so very kindly, for you, here a'camping...
and all you do, as to climber care...
sometimes it gets tricky, putting yourself out to help...
but with experience in knowing when, it easees hard trails, for those 'in yelp'...
thank you for all you do...
the world shoud concentrate more on raising new crops of 'who'...
the 'who's that care to say--"i'm okay right now, but how about you?"
thank you johntp..j
a lot of us are able to function, in a much higher gear, as to things
we do, want to do, or things just to share here, for others...
it's been near a hard 'recovery trail' for me to get to where i am, now...
and god's grace and the cheering-on of others, and the patience of those
that may not understand, HAVE gotten me this far...
i know this is true for others that you've helped, as well,
though they each have their own stories-of-the-trail...
THANK YOU and may god give you a trail just right for your needs,
and a healthy challenge, and safe-god-speed, and new
wonderful joys, along the way, for this new year!!!!!!
keep aiming for that finish line, that we all cherish in our older age:
looking BACK and seeing a well-forged trail, and good seeds, left
for others... and a 'well done' from god above... :)
:)

Yes he deserves a bump and a round (of applause or drinks, whichever!)
When I was selling chalkbags for gas money to come west, he ordered two for others and went even further. And he kept in touch with me while I was on the road, assuring me I was not alone if I found myself in a car jam(not a traffic jam, the other kind - you know, when you aren't sure if it's electrical or fuel-related...).
A good one, that JohnTP, and I DID get to meet him at Todd's last year.

Life deals us some cards. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. Friends are what keep us going.
You hear that Cappy! Get your ass in gear!
