Virtual Heart Thread

Last edited Sun Feb 10, 2013, 05:30 AM - Edit history (1)

Times are tough economically and I know there are probably lots of DUers out there who would give hearts if they could but simply can't afford to. I thought a "Virtual Heart" thread might be in order.

I'm giving out hundreds of Virtual Hearts this year because there are SO many posters on this board whose writing and activism I appreciate beyond measure. You give me insights, you challenge me and make me constantly re-evaluate my positions. You provide articles and links to stories I probably would not have found on my own. I'm constantly amazed at the knowledge that congregates on this one board. And not just political. I love checking the Cooking and Baking Group, the DIY & Home Improvement Group, Gardening Group, Frugal and Energy Efficient Living Group and others for first-hand information and insights.

So, to all of you whose threads I've read and commented on, whose threads I've recommended and whose PM correspondence I so enjoy, please accept these Virtual Hearts and know that you have my admiration and deep appreciation.

Anyone wishing to tag on a few Virtual Hearts, please feel free to use this thread to do so if you like.

Hugs and Kisses,

LTH

The farce of the fiscal cliff delayed the extended unemployment benefits and I still haven't cleared the red tape.

Hearts just aren't in the budget.

Puuuleez?

Thanks for all you do on this forum, Le Taz Hot.

edit: (Specifically, thanks for your promotion of DU markplace and more importantly, your efforts to raise awareness of the GMO labelling initiatives headed for the ballot in numerous states. People have a right to know what they're buying)

I can't afford to buy and give out hearts, either.

Glad to give out virtual hearts to as many DUers as possible.

I really want to thank whoever it was who gave me mine.

Hugs and kisses back atcha.

This was my favorite time to buy someone a star because they could give out the hearts.

And same here as what you say to those who would but can't and those who keep interesting links and articles going here that inform us all. Those who want to be informed, anyway... (snark)

Virtual Hearts to all those....

I'll plop down a bunch of virtual hearts right here, for you, simply because you've made this point so well. You are appreciated!

We would if we could, but just because we can't doesn't mean that we don't value the many good DUers we've encountered here over many years.

If I had the money or the wherewithal, I'd buy a hundred hearts to give to a member who dropped off the board last summer, in the hopes that it might sway her to resume posting.

Peace to you, Le Taz Hot!
