Ya'll folks who own this forum really hit it out of the ballpark with the whole ❤ giving thing this year. If you've done it in the past, forgive me for missing it. But I have been on this forum for years and it's the first time I have noticed it. (I go through phases of coming on here.)
I literally just donated again to this site because of it. It seems to have touched many of us. Yes, as humans, knowing someone(s) ❤ you is a big deal, even if on the internet.
Thank you to all who've given me a ❤. And boy is it fun to hand them out to others. ☺

(86,612 posts)I haven't always been able to buy them but when I can I do. It's a good way for us to feel like a community and it benefit us all by keeping this site going and protected from harm... cyber security is a must anymore and I can't imagine that's cheap.

The funny thing is, even if this is on the internet, we come to know what is in peoples' hearts from their posts. Just wish I had thousands to give out for the good people here.

We get to kiss and hug each other and they get some well deserved extra cash to run things.

(9,372 posts)I read the thing about participating, but do you have to buy 10 hearts to give out 10? Or can you give out as many as you want?

(53,410 posts)So if you pick now to renew your membership or to get one whatever you pay you get that many hearts. There is no minimum amount, so you can buy the same membership for as little or as much as you like.
You can then give the hearts to whoever you like. It is an anonymous gift.

(16,334 posts)like the chalky ones from the Valentine's Box. You got to pick which ones you wanted to give out based on the phrases. I still haven't figured out who gave me the one marked Evil DUer but I think it was Skinner.

(32,639 posts)I'm pretty sure this isn't the first year for the hearts. But more people are playing along this year, so it's more fun.
I agree with you Charlotte Little, this is a good idea and it brings everyone together in friendship.

(27,995 posts)I greatly appreciate the ones I was given, but don't need anymore! I hope others will give to members who don't have any yet.
