NOT! (Nursing Open Thread) is a community forum hosted by Nurse Kelley to provide folks with a regularly-scheduled interactive place to discuss their health problems, share remedies that have worked for them, seek suggestions, or raise bloody hell about their situation. Everyone is welcome to participate and lively discussion is encouraged. Nurse Kelley's only rule is this: Be kind. ♥
Special Rule for today: If you are offended by pootie diaries, this diary, the terms pooties and woozles, or anything else along these lines, please don't comment in this diary. Unless your initials are BiPM, I doubt you have enough mojo to survive trolling a love letter to the pootie people.
I had something else in mind for today, but when the pootie diaries won their category in the Daily kOscars last night, I decided to say "thanks" instead. The pootie diaries are the most popular community series on this site, everyone knows that, but do you know how many people wrote pootie diaries last year?
Almost a hundred.
Know how many pootie diaries were posted in 2009?
Almost eight hundred.
Know how many users hung out in those diaries?
Thousands.
I decided to make a list of every pootie diarist I remember from 2009. It's not a complete list, but it's my list, and these are the people I want to thank for making me laugh, making me think, making me cry, and/or warning me about a danger my pets might be in:

In addition to the pootie diarists, I would like to thank all the pootie people who visit the diaries on a more or less regular basis and who are my friends. I won't try to list them all - it would make me feel too bad if I forgot someone - so let me just say this to them: Thank you. I love you.♥
Who would you like to say thanks to today?
