Is there anyone here who actively dislikes me?

I'd honestly like to know if I bother people in the Lounge......

I am not looking for praise......truly I'm not.....

Let it rip!

But I spose that's just a touch of envy

:hug:

You know I have the greatest love and respect for you.....

I DO! I am always glad to see you posting, even if I have nothing constructive to say......

Don't be envious, my dear....no-one's life is perfect, and that includes mine.....


:loveya: :hug:

You had to know that was coming.
<hee>
:hi:

Yeah, I saw that one coming!

Love you too......:pals:

:rofl:

You are the sweetest guy! As soon as I can, I'll be arriving in your appreciation thread....

I love ya!

I do hope no-one will need their asses kicked!

:loveya: :hug:

You're the best! :hug:

that's humanly possible.

I just wanted to find out if anyone did....

I thank you......:pals:

Well, maybe I have an overactive imagination....

Because I CAN imagine it.....hence this thread!

:loveya: :hug:

I know I've hit a few people here the wrong way at times.

But you? Your kindness, friendliness, and obvious caring are such wonderful qualities, I can't imagine not liking you. I like you very, very much.

I'm a little snarky at times in 'real life'...but who isn't?

I thank you.......:hug:

for anyone to hate gracious kindness. Just don't see it.

:hi:

I appreciate your comments......


:hi: back atcha!

Unless he/she is Republican.

My good friend.....I thank you so much......


:loveya: :hug:

no dislike-age here!!!

:thumbsup:

I appreciate it a lot......:pals:

You, the sweetest, warmest, most wonderful person that you are? Even if you do drop the F-bomb now and then, you are one of the most likeable people I've ever met, online OR in person!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

You never know, my dear....sometimes even nice people can have those who don't appreciate or like them.......

And there's been so much rancor and trouble lately here, that I thought there might be a chance that someone might think less of me these days.....

So I decided to try and find out..... :shrug:

:loveya: :hug:

You can be a very soothing voice in very rancorus times! :pals:

Not actively per se, no.

:7

:hi:

So YOU'RE the one! I'm kidding, of course.....

And I do hope you believe what I said in your thread in the Writer's Forum....because I meant what I said there.....

I don't lie well, either online or in person.....


:pals:

since I was the one who was rating your stuff.

:shrug:

but there's the spouse thing. Oh, and the 2000 miles between us.

:rofl:

RL

Oh boy do I......:evilgrin:


:loveya:

I'd love to know who's ass I'm kicking now

I appreciate your very kind words......


:loveya: :hug:

NOBODY is supposed to know about THAT!

It'll wreck my image...sheesh.....


:scared:

But what I do know of you I like. You're ok in my book!! :hi:
Duckie

Nor do I know you that well.....but you're OK in my book too...

May our friendship increase!


:hi:

Of course I do....

I got my secret name from him......


:hi:

Is that the same thing?

:silly:

I hope not!

I think you're cool, BTW......


:thumbsup: :hi:

So I actively like you on a grammatical technicality. :hi:

And because you got smokin' architectural taste. :headbang:

I remember your saying you liked my house......

I'm afraid to think what might have happened if I hadn't posted that pic!

:scared:

You're one of the nicest people in the asylum!

O8)

And I thank you for the rest.......

:loveya: :hug:

Are you out of your friggin mind?

:hug: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :hug:






:hide: And even if I did, do you think I would post it so other DUers would know and then kick my ass? :rofl:

Oh I am most likely out of my friggin' mind! Would NOT surprise me one little bit.....

But I know you like me!

You have demonstrated it over and over to me....and I love you for it!


:loveya: :pals:

:hug: :loveya: :hug:

:hug:

:P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

That sure does look like it, doesn't it? But that was not my intent...

I truly wanted to know if...what I said.......

Guess I went about it wrong......*sigh*



:pals:

Stop asking for criticism. That would be like kicking a baby.:hug: :pals:

I have always suffered from low self-esteem....truly I have....

Those feelings can cause the damndest outpourings, like right now......

Some days I just don't feel particularly worthy of all the love here...


:shrug:

You give a lot, so just accept what you're being given. Every gift bears a burden though. Here's to your strength.:toast:

You're too nice. You always seem to have a kind word for anyone you see.

:hi:

Ya never know.....and I wanted to find out!

Simple as that.....:shrug:

:loveya: :hug:

singularly nice & routinely so folks in this otherwise freaking lounge full of cheeky pseudo cliques & sadly low brow & lacking nonsense would you therefore stop it for me if no one else :hug: many many people love you and the rest simply do not matter unless of course we are to conduct a census survey you & i

:rofl:

:rofl: and; if; you; do; have; a; problem; then; pm; me...sweets...

you'll get the hang of it before too long period

And I appreciate your sentiments a lot!

:loveya: :hug:

beside, isn't there a "writers forum" or some "grammar forum" around here for jibes such as that :shrug:

:evilgrin:

You've got them where they live, my dear Goddess!

Forgive my snarky slant right here, my dear.....you are too good to me!


:loveya: :hug:

That would be like someone saying they actively dislike the sunshine and flowers. =(

And that's just wrong.

You and Ms. Alpern are The Lounge's sunshine and flowers...at least by this lurker's opinion...

And BTW, you post often enough for me to recognize your username and avatar....

I'm trying to live up to my sigline ........


:loveya: :hug:

:hug:

Sunshine in a thread...

Your threads never sink. That means everyone likes you. :hug:

I've had a few sink, and it's an awful feeling.....

But you are right...most of mine do well......and I must admit that makes me happy.....

I LOVE my Lounge Lizard friends!



:loveya: :hug:

You bring out the good in all of us.
And your in SoCal too! :hug:

I'm always so happy to see you, and to hear how things are for you......

I thank you for calling me a Goddess.....that truly means a lot.....

I'm just trying to bring out the goodness in me, so that I'm a better person here.......

SoCal is the BEST!


:loveya: :hug:

You make me feel better everytime we communicate.

You've been here for 8 months and a zillion times more people know who you are than know who I am, and I've been here more than 2 years!

:nopity: for me, I know...

(just teasing on the jealousy)

Please don't be jealous......I KNOW who you are....

You are an incredible human being, with a lovely wife and an adorable daughter.....

I'm always glad to see you posting, too...so there!


:loveya: :hug:

I was just teasing you, you know.

I don't always reply, but you often brighten my day. :hi:

I'm happy to often brighten your day......

And you have done the same for me.......


:loveya: :hug:

I'm so looking forward to meeting you next month! :bounce:

I am SURE someone in the Lounge doesn't have any use for me.......

I guess I went about it wrong to try and find out who it might be, and why......

I too am looking forward hugely to meeting you next month! It will be some fun.....


:loveya: :hug:

:loveya::hug::pals:

...but I just couldn't do it. It'd be like kicking a puppy.
:hug:

Just kidding about the 'I tried...' stuff. Don't go siccing Clintmax on me...:yoiks: :hide:

He's a sweetie anyhow.......and so are you!


:loveya: :pals:

:blush: <---see what you made me do...:)

And that does indeed include you.:hi:

I am glad you don't actively dislike me!

We might get to know one another better, and then it might change...

But I doubt it........


:hi:

but I AM a horrible jerk sometimes.

But, I type nothing that I would not say to someone's face, so I'm pretty harmless for the most part.

And to clarify, I do not even passively dislike you, either!

this is a bad joke, no?

No I wasn't kidding...I did want to know if anyone harbored ill feelings towards me.......

I went about finding out rather awkwardly, though....oh well....

LOVELY to see you tonight!

Hope your day was good.......


:loveya: :hug:

im taking names and kicking ass :grr:

my day was good, glad to be home relaxing. work work work was about it

how was your day?

:loveya:

My husband took me out to lunch......

I ordered my holiday cards.....

I went to the local Farmer's Market and had a ball there....

Then I drove along the beach and looked at the ocean......wonderful!

I'll have dinner soon...and then I'll be back here later.......


:loveya:

sounds like you a great day! :hug:

with everyone ...

You always have a kind word for anyone in need.
Your sense of humor is very cute.
And I must add that you have awesome taste in bumper stickers.

feel better Peggy :hug:

I appreciate your kind words a lot, my dear!

I truly don't feel bad....just curious ......

I'm happy you like my bumper stickers! me too....... :rofl:



:loveya: :hug:

he won't.

How could anybody dislike you CP--actively or otherwise. :D :pals:

I am SURE that Clintmax appreciates the backup!

Something triggered this thought in my brain today.....and so here we are....

I appreciate your kind thoughts!


:loveya: :pals:

not me MsPeggy. You are a breath of fresh air and a ray of sunshine.

:hug:

You are too sweet to me!

BTW, are you feeling any better today?

I was very worried about you yesterday....nearly came into your thread to recommend you see your doctor.....

Hope you're getting better, and can eat or drink today.....


:loveya: :hug:

not wanting to hijack your thread, no, I'm not any better at all, in fact I may have to go on IV fluids. I had bloodwork done this afternoon. Husband, called the Dr when I fainted in the shower (no injuries)and Dr demanded bloodwork stat. Hubby is home with me now and I've been resting all day. thank you for asking, and please keep a good thought.
:hug:

I did ask you, after all....

I'm certainly holding the good thought.....

Please take care of yourself, my dear aA!


:loveya: :hug:

... so you're on notice. :mad:

Just kidding Peggy! :P {looks at boobs}

Still looking at *um* boobs, huh? Well, go ahead....!

I can tell you're kidding about being mad....You hardly ever get serious with me!

Nice to see you tonight, my dear....


:loveya: :pals:

I fully intend to destroy you.

;)

And after all the nice things I've said about you...and written to you and everything.....

*sob*















J/K
;-)

:hug: :hi:

So far, so good.....except for Will Pitt, just upthread from you.......

I thank you so much, my dear......


:loveya: :hug:

...someone else offers me a lot money.....:dilemma:

*sniff* Does this mean you don't love me? :cry:

...I'm just a cheap whore...:*

:shrug:

Well, that's just what I was wondering!

Just Will Pitt, so far......and I think he was kidding!


:loveya: :hug:

There, all done!

:popcorn:

I DON'T WANT TO READ THROUGH THIS ENTIRE THREAD FOR MY ASS-KICKING LIST

I remember the first time you spoke to me....months ago.....

You offered to kick my ass....and I did NOT know how to take it!

I had to PM you to find out what was going on.....I even saved that PM!

Tonight, I don't believe that anyone here really hates me.....

Not even Mr. Pitt.....


But I thank you for coming by!

You kick ass better than anyone here!


:loveya: :pals:

Just kidding! :hi:

No worries, my dear Starbucks Anarchist!

A little snarkiness is much appreciated...you know, for comic relief!

:rofl:

:hi:

I doubt people like me as much as they like you. Then again, your personality is much more pleasant than mine. ;)

Puh-lease....HOW could anybody "actively dislike" you? You silly girl.

You are such a love and your kindness comes across, even in cyberspace.:loveya:

I know you pride yourself in your occasional "snarkiness", but that's part of the territory, around here, right? It's all in good fun.

"Actively dislikes"...that's a good one. Yeah, right. I actually laughed OUT LOUD when I read that. :rofl:

Shine

I guess it was a brain fart or something...

But the thought did cross my mind earlier today, and I wondered ...

Well, you know what I wondered, my dear!

Glad I can make you laugh out loud!


:loveya: :pals:

:hug:

But not anymore.....so much love in the Lounge tonight.....

I guess I was silly to worry, huh?

I love all my Lounge Lizards.....and that includes you, my dear Crazy...

:loveya: :hug:

Did you kick someone's kitten? Did you spit in Crazy Guggenheim's eye? I mean.... huh? You are liked. Deal with it. :D

NOT to me or about me...but it made me wonder....

And here we are, behind the eight ball once again.....


:shrug:

if you are playing 9 ball. :D

How's the new camera going'?

It's going EXTREMELY well; thanks for asking!

I LOVE it.....it produces excellent pictures......at least when I aim it at worthwhile subjects!


:hi:

First, I am not sure why you are asking such a thing. Have you butted head with somebody? Has anybody posted to you in the last two weeks, things like - "Get over yourself... you are harshing the mellow" or "So hfovt fuck off. Try getting a clue."

Do you start threads that quickly sink to the bottom with two replies?

And probably I am not important enough to the DUers who tell me to eff off, for them to actively dislike me. I have not even found any of them who have me on ignore, but I am not on their buddy list either.

We all have our friends and our detractors here. You clearly have alot of friends, and I imagine very few, if any, detractors. You should have alot of friends here too, because you seem to have kind words for everyone. I have a limited supply of kind words, so I save them for special people like you and for sucking up to mods like Southlandshari and newyawker99 (just kidding, I probably need to carry some canned laughter with me so people know when I am joking, either that or I need funnier material.)

I appreciate it a great deal....

I'm not really sure, now, just why I started this thread. I had a thought that I followed up on with this thread...

I just wanted a simple answer....and instead I get this outpouring of love and affection and wonder......

It is amazing...

I have a lot of love to give others; I always have. I have no idea why. I guess that's why I love the Lounge..love is one thing that is very appropriate here....

And the more you give it away, the more you get back .......


:hug:

that it had something to do with something I said.
Since, of course, the whole world does revolve around me.

I never did mention the dilemma that I started with. That being, that the sort of person who would actively dislike you would not be the sort of person who would openly and honestly admit it. At work, this woman asked me to watch her purse (actually store it in the box office where I was sitting), but before she gave it to me she asked 'are you a thief?' And my first thought was 'lady, if I was, would I admit it?'

One trick I try with people who I suspect are hostile, is I try to PM them. If they have me on ignore, I would not be able to.

There's so little love and human kindness in the world, but you bring a lot to a lot of people.

Here you are, talking about the very thing that I was, just upthread....

I feel so strongly about the power of love....and I feel the love here so very much.....

Sometimes from individuals I know, and sometimes as an interconnecting web that covers us all over the globe.....

I feel it is my gift to the ones I love to bring them what love I can...It is a power that I feel inside myself.....

And since I am not the intellectual giant I'd love to be, I live to send love to those around me...



:loveya: :grouphug:

We forget how important a kind word is, and we take too much for granted. To make people feel better is a great gift, Peggy.

I don't know you very well Peggy but you stirke me as someone who cares very much for people and goes out of her way not to offend, but at the same time stands up for what she believes.

You are kindness itself.

I am kindness itself.....how sweet your words are to me.....

I thank you for them!

I try to do all the things you mentioned......

If we all did, then I believe the Lounge would be a better place...

But I don't want everyone to be just like me...that would be boring!


BTW...I LOVE the crown....jewels make me salivate!


:loveya: :hug:

so DU DOES have diversity !!!

I think NOT!

But I do love diversity, however we come by it....... :rofl:

:hi:

I would be most surprised if you have a mean bone in your body!
I love ya!

:hi:

:loveya:

I love you as well.....thanks!

:loveya:

CalPeg, you are probably one of the nicest people I have encountered on DU.

:hug:

Well, no, I wasn't kidding.......

I thank you for your kind words!

I want only to treat people the way I would like to be treated........

:loveya: :hug:

you will get nothing but hugs from me.
:hug: :hug: :hug:

:loveya: You're one of the brightest spots in the Lounge darlin!

You flatter me, my dear Vash!

I thank you......

:loveya:

and why do you ask? :shrug:

somewhere, somehow, someone might have been upset with me.....

I can't even say now just what made me feel like that.....

So I decided to start this thread in an effort to find out if my feelings were valid.....

Obviously they were NOT!

:shrug:

You're surrounded by friends here.

:rofl: "Is there anyone here who actively dislikes me?"

Well, you never know about someone's sanity do you? I am probably quite the nut case, dahling!

I see that I am surrounded by friends.......I just wanted to find out if anyone wasn't in that group.....

Obviously, I went about it in the wrong way......

I love you, you lovely person, you! :loveya: :pals:

:evilgrin:

Just kidding. I don't think I actively dislike anyone here.

We haven't talked much, but when we do, it is meaningful to me, at least!

:pals:

Let me know if there are a few stragglers running about.

None visible right now....:loveya: :hug:

I think it unlikely that anyone who might would answer affirmatively.

I truly did want to find out.....

OBVIOUSLY this was NOT the way to do it.....

:shrug:

I answered before, but this is today ... and the answer is still NO.

:bounce:

We all love you. :loveya: :grouphug:

I truly do appreciate your coming back into my silly thread to tell me once again how you feel.....

:loveya: :grouphug:

It never hurts to spread love ... that's the lesson you always teach us. I hope we are learning it well.

:loveya: :grouphug:

You are so sweet and kind and only say nice things to people. I doubt very much there is even one of our 70,000 strong who avidly dislikes you.

:hug:

I suspect that you are correct.....

And I thank you for saying so......


:hug: back atcha!

We LOVE you!!!!!

I'm beginning to think that my sanity may be in doubt! J/K.....

I know you all love me, and I'm humbled by this fact.......

Thank you......


:loveya:

I love your smiley.....

Kidding.

I love a little snarky in the morning!


:hi:

even when I don't post to say so. As new as I am, I like you CaliforniaPeggy!!

I thank you, my dear cfield!


:woohoo:

:thumbsup:

I have always felt that when people come into any thread of mine, that it's only polite to respond......

So, yes, I'm still working it......:shrug:

your sweetness, kindness and compassion for others can be annoying. Can't you be a vicious bitch like the rest of us? Rather than make us look bad in comparison?

:)

Khash.

Ooh, that hurt......I hope you're still reading......

Cause I was really kidding.....no, really!

You know how I feel about you anyhow....it is hard for me to be mean unless I'm really pissed off.

And I've never been pissed off at you...a little annoyed perhaps...but never anything more than that......

Sorry, I can't be a vicious bitch....just don't have it in me......

Love is where it is for me......:loveya:

Ya know I'm gonna brag about that for ages, though. Just casually drop into conversation that Peggy told me to fuck off...


Love ya, lady.


Khash.

To be honest, I thought you were a bit proper at first, then I saw you use the word "fuck" in a post. I like swearing, I enjoy swearing. I like those that aren't afraid of using profanity.

I think there are some here in the Lounge who have no use for me...

But obviously they are NOT in this thread!

I do enjoy using profanity from time to time, as I see it to be appropriate.....

But there's normally such a fucking firestorm when I do, that I tend to be a little careful!

Right......Thank you for your very kind words.....:loveya:

to be in this thread! :hi:

Call Me Wesley!

You have as much right as anyone to be here, you know!

Welcome!


:loveya:

the things I'm willing to do to make you happy. ;)
