Thanks for not having your fingers ripped off in a horrific DIY accident I, like so many curious WYWO fan-boys, went on the web looking for information on why TLC wouldn't have offered you your weight in gold to stay on the show. Then, I found your site. Wow. Double wow. To quote Christopher Walken's "The Continental" character from Saturday Night Live, "Wowie-wow-wow-WOW!" Lets go through your checklist: 1) Attractive? Check! 2) Intelligent? Check! 3) Funny? Check! 4) Handy with a glue gun? Check! There are, in anyone's lifetime, 100-200 people in the world that actually deserve to be here. The rest are just bumping into things and apologizing for getting in the way. You are in the top 5% You're higher up than Bono (he tries too hard). You're right up there with the guy who invented Post-Its (And coming from a guy firmly ensconced in an office environment, you know how much of a compliment that is [No, you may not borrow my "red Swingline stapler."]) Thank you for your beauty. Thank you for your intellect. Thank you for the remarkable way you put your ideas and feelings into the written word, and the way you craft them so they can be shared with anyone who reads them (akin to a "scratch-and-sniff"; An "emote-and-empathize" technique rarely duplicated.) Most of all, thank you for being the best darn Teresa Strasser you can be; The world needs a really good Teresa Strasser, and boy howdy if you don't excel at it. I hope to see you soon (you won't be able to see me, of course, because the TV doesn't work that way. For technical information on how the television works, please consult the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", specifically the scene introducing the "Wonkavision". Fast forward past the Oompa-Loompa segue scenes. They are disturbing in ways modern Psychology has yet to understand.) Oh, and please ignore the corporate signature that will invariably follow this message, unless of course you have 5 pizzas laying around.
