Blixa is the best 'net mom I've ever had. She gets me looking things up more than any other poster.

Absolutely on target.
I like it, too.

Re: What have you learned from Blixa?
I've learned what true modesty is. She's bright and capable--so much so that she doesn't need to toot her own horn (or other musical instrument). It's simply apparent--in multiple areas.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy.

I've learned that not even the best and brightest are always happy in their lives.

Pimpin' was hard til Blixa showed me how to do it.

All this, and she can draw. Is there anything the woman can't do?

On top of all her educated and intelligent responses, what impressed me the most about Blixa is how she captured the spirit of several of her online friends in some amazing art, that reflected the depth of this woman's compassion and love.
Thank you Blixa for letting your light so shine.

Blixa is an incredibly talented writer, artist, and educator. She is a very modest, giving, truly sweet individual, and it is an honor to call her my friend.

From Blixa, I've learned patience. (Still awaiting a series of threads here from which I will be tutored about Brigham Young.)

No complaints coming from me. I think you're a terrific poster. And Beastie is one of my favorites when she doesn't get too long winded.
