Our favorite cancer advocate --not what she's known for here, are you guessing, yet?--- Simone has reached 30K! How about some big "wows" for that?

Asked by JilltheTooth (19787points) February 28th, 2011

Never sure how to define her, so I’ll try passionate, educated, interesting and all around FABULOUS! Congrats, Simone de Beauvoire!

Woot! Way to go! I always enjoy reading what you have to say. Congratulations Simone!

iamthemob's avatar

Congratulations – You’ve officially brought sexy back. ;-)

My hats and pants off to you.

(you got like three parties – did you know that?)

cak's avatar

Wow, she’s on three different threads!

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

Oy, I loved FPCB’s one too, @JilltheTooth as I do yours! I feel like I threw him his 10K one back when he was growing up and I was drooling all over him, inappropriately. Oh and it’s De Beauvoir – took me forever to learn how to spell it too.

Facade's avatar

You people are fast as hell!
Congratulations Simone!! =D

You should come “party” at my place to celebrate ;)

JilltheTooth's avatar

Says something for you, @Simone_De_Beauvoir , that 3 of us jumped on it so fast!!!

TexasDude's avatar

I had a pretty good write-up about Simone going in my own question until you stole my thunder, @JilltheTooth >:-(

Just kidding! Congratulations to @Simone_De_Beauvoir . one of only two Flutherites who I have maxed out my lurve on, apparently!

And you did indeed throw me one hell of a 10k party. I remember it quite fondly.

cak's avatar

I think this one beat the others to the punch. Darn. I was asking @Simone_De_Beauvoir should my congrats be an inch or two longer?

She’s wonderful. Opinionated and outspoken. I think she’s great. Congrats, my friend!

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

I’ve had two weeks of absolute hell and I am finally smiling, grinning, from ear to ear – sometimes it’s good to spend some time with my Fluther friends and leave those other ones behind.

KatawaGrey's avatar

Congratulations @Simone_De_Beauvoir! It’s good to see that you’ve lasted so long. Tell Alex that it’s his night to take the kids so you can come party with us! ;)

Seelix's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir – Enjoy it! Revel in your palindromic lurve as well, while it lasts!

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@KatawaGrey Wish I could but it’s date night so mom took the kids, lol. We’re going out to dinner in about 10 minutes. I didn’t know ETPro was going to go ahead and make my day with that penis question so I didn’t plan ahead, you know?

jca's avatar

A big, giant WoW and Congrats on such an incredible feat!

JilltheTooth's avatar

There’s a penis question?

Jude's avatar

I think that you’re amazing and have never known anyone quite like you.

The world is a better place because you’re in it. Truly.

Congrats, Simone!

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

All right, ya’ll, I’m out for now but will be back later – don’t start anything naughy without me..not even if @Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard pulls out all his rifles..I mean, really.

JilltheTooth's avatar

That’s where the real party started.

syz's avatar

Hey! Congratulations!

TexasDude's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir, this is my rifle, this is my gun, this is for fightin’ this is for fun… if ya catch my drift.

Congratulations! 30K lurve? Clearly she came to stay!

Nothing ambiguous about her ethics, though.

Congratulations on 30k. Your posts are always intelligent and passionate.

Congrats, congrats, congrats @Simone_De_Beauvoir! I can honestly say that you’re one of my favorites here, and I always love reading your responses. I’m so glad that you’ve been around long enough to make it to this point, and I really hope that you stick around here for a long time! :D

MissAnthrope's avatar

Muy congrats! I can’t imagine a Fluther without you. :)

wilma's avatar

Congratulations @Simone_De_Beauvoir !
I have learned a lot from you. Things that I didn’t even know that I didn’t know!
Best wishes and I hope you had fun on your “date night”!

Congrats @Simone_De_Beauvoir! Well deserved… well deserved.

chyna's avatar

Congrats to one of my all time favorite jellies!! @Simone_De_Beauvoir throws the best parties. We’ve got @iamthemob with his pants off, something about a penis question going on, and the night is still young. No telling what will happen next.

Bluefreedom's avatar

Congratulations on 30k! Fantastic!

Ladymia69's avatar

Good going, grrrl!

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

Hey everyone! Thanks so much – we had a good time at dinner and it’s soon off to bed for me – Ark is starting pre-school tomorrow so…need sleep, lol.

chyna's avatar

^^Uh huh

Jude's avatar

Cough Bullshit! cough

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@chyna @Jude Oh, I wish…because I had cervical biopsy on Saturday, I can’t have sex for a week. Wow, that’s a downer on a wonderful thread.

JmacOroni's avatar

Congratulations to a person that I like very much. I always look forward to your posts (and photos!)

janbb's avatar

Passionate, committed, queer and takes no shit from anyone – you are one in a million @Simone_De_Beauvoir ! It is a pleasure to cal you friend and to share Fluther with you.

Mazel Tov!

crisw's avatar

Big WOW indeed!

kenmc's avatar

I’m not shocked, really.

wundayatta's avatar

Simone is one of the reasons I stay at Fluther. She’s irascible and funny, She lives on the far fringe of social conventions, and she has a great heart—caring for the world like it is her baby.

And she dances Tango, too! Gotta love a dancer! Actually, I married one.

Congratulations, Simone. You are a favorite of the community, and it shows with the lurve you’ve gotten.

skfinkel's avatar

Congratulations, Simone! Love your compelling and insightful responses. You have made this site richer by your contributions. Thank you.

ETpro's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Congratulations on 30K. It is a testament not only to the wit and wisdom of your discourse here, but your willingness to put up with the rest of us. You are one of my favorite people here. If I had the courage of my convictions, I could almost copy your profile and adopt it as mine. But I’ve never found the willpower to switch to being a vagan. I fall short here and there, but think you are so right-in. Thanks for sharing yourself so openly on Fluther. You brighten my days (and nights).

LuckyGuy's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir
Congrats on the 30k . You just got a bit stronger. Simone De Freakin’ Beauvior! ;-)
You always add wisdom and color to the discussion. Thanks.

DominicX's avatar

30-fucking-K? Wow. Sure goes by fast. :P

Always been one of my favorite users (even back on wis.dm!) We rarely disagree on anything. :D One of the best (actually probably the best) queer voices on this site.

Kraigmo's avatar

Good interesting and intelligent job Simone :)

Buttonstc's avatar

I ALWAYS look forward to reading your viewpoint on so many issues large and small.

You’re one in a million, Simone, and your 30K is truly impressive.

Congrats !

OliverYoung's avatar

Congrats ! :)

tedibear's avatar

CONGRATULATIONS!!! WAY TO GO!!! Everyone else beat me to all of the compliments that I would have given you. So… just go re-read what they said and pretend that I said it! ;) I look forward to your comments in whatever thread you appear.

JilltheTooth's avatar

A quick “favorite Simone” thing. Often when a user comes in with a rude and generalized agenda, KatawaGrey and I have to laugh at the idea that “S/he’s taking on Simone? Really?” And the popcorn comes out…

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

iamthemob's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir I think we’ve officially made your “days” at this point. ;-)

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@iamthemob Indeed, I am very lucky.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Congrats on the 30K. I think the luck runs both ways. We’ve been very lucky to have your presence here. I’ve learned at least a few lifetimes of knowledge from my discussions with you. For that, Thank You.

marinelife's avatar

Uh oh I almost missed the party. Congratulations, @Simone_De_Beauvoir! 30K is a tremendous milestone. it is a mark of how valued your contribution to this site is. I always enjoy your posts even when we—very occasionally—disagree. You are full of heart and passion that shines through in your writing.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

You know I don’t know if you guys kept all my haters at the door or something (nice bodyguarding!) but this thread is full of only nice things.

JilltheTooth's avatar

You want I should go find some haters to round it out?

erichw1504's avatar

You know what @Simone_De_Beauvoir?! You smell and I dislike your face!

OK, I’m just kidding.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@JilltheTooth Please, I have no trouble myself lol
@erichw1504 That’s not what you said last night.

Lightlyseared's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir : I may be late to the party, but I brought plenty of Hawaiian aloha with me. Have a hearty “Ho’omaikai!”

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@harple That’s a very nice thing to hear, thank you
and @hawaii_jake you’re not late!

Haleth's avatar

Congratulations! Your answers always add something thoughtful to the debate, and usually leave me thinking, “damn, I wish I’d thought of that.” Your input makes Fluther great. :)

breedmitch's avatar

Ooh. Congratulations! Well deserved.
You all envy me, I know because I’ve met her in person!

Bellatrix's avatar

An amazing contribution to this community… I cannot envisage EVER getting that much lurve. Well done Simone. You really did earn all the admiration.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@breedmitch Ha, this is true! and you got me drunk!
@Mz_Lizzy You’ll get there, why not?
@Haleth Thank you!

liminal's avatar

Something to bring me out of fluther hiatus! As you know, I adore that fluther introduced me to you and yours. It is safe to say you have shaped this place for the good, I raise my glass to you dear one, you are wrong in all the right ways!

Blackberry's avatar

Congratulations :)

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Six days, 96 responses, and the only dirt is you smell? What’s with al the niceness? Must be a pretty special peep Simone.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe I think special ops were hired to vet my party.

bob_'s avatar

Damn, I was out of town and didn’t see this.

Well done!

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@bob_ I wondered where you were!

bob_'s avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir I was in London, actually.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@bob_ Jealous! I hope you paid homage to that bar by Trafalgar that I once peed on.

JeanPaulSartre's avatar

Yay! Congratulations lovi!

bob_'s avatar

@JeanPaulSartre So what’s your excuse for being late?

JeanPaulSartre's avatar

@bob_ I’m almost never on Fluther.

wundayatta's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Hoooo baby! Welcome to the island! I wish I was still there, it just got a hell of a lot more fun. There’s only two of us where I am.

Well, I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again. You’re one of the big reasons why I enjoy fluther so much. Your advocacy efforts are something I admire a lot. Your life style choices, your honesty, your feminism, hell—even the fact you’re Russian (the first time I fell in love was in the USSR).

You express your thoughts and opinions clearly and succinctly. You think things through well, and when I fuck up, you are always very gracious (which is really nice :-)

Anyway, enjoy the island. There are all kinds of cabana and pool boys wherever you go. The sand is a beautiful white. You can sleep in a hammock on the beach or in a room, and do whatever you want. It is devoted to virtual island luxury, and it’s entirely free! You can share it with anyone you want. There is endless space and pristine water and it’s always sunny, except when it rains.

And like I said, there’s cabana boys…..

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@wundayatta You do like them cabana boys, huh? Congrats on the 40K, enjoy time with @marinelife!
