Before all the hearts go away...

I would like to thank those who gave me one. It was very much appreciated.

(The first year the administrators did this Valentine hearts thing, i think I only got two and one I gave to myself!)

1. well, they used to be more expensive

I think it was more like $5 for a heart. Except you got one yourself just for buying a star too.

Then some of the hearts had messages like those candies. When I got one that said "evil DUer" I was not sure that was a compliment.

Then again, it is a good thing to be "the excrement".

Since they are anonymous, you never know (or at least I don't) if I got a heart because somebody said "hfojvt my friend (don't you start away uneasy)" or "there's a pathetic sap with no hearts, I will give him one".

Then too, I would generally search for somebody to give to who was NOT going to be a coals to Newcastle. Like, you know, giving H2Oman his 42nd heart. Instead I would look for somebody who only had two or three. Somebody that I truly did like, mind you, and not just some random DUer.

3. I also gave away hearts to people who didn't have many.

For example, I really do enjoy reading all the posts from MineralMan but he didn't need another heart. There are some DUers who I read all the time and sometimes mine was only their 2nd or 3rd. Sometimes they didn't have one yet. You never really know.

I don't remember them costing $5, that was kind of a lot.

5. it may have been a scale too

like 6 for $25 and 15 for $50

I know I donated a little more to get a few more hearts to give away.

4. Luckily for me, my DU membership renewed this month

So I killed 2 birds with one stone, so to speak!

6. This Heart

gesture is very nice and also the donations keeps this site going. It's very "heartwarming" to give someone a little love and it makes people happy.

When's the next holiday??? how about giving out "green shamrocks" for St Patrick's Day just an idea.

7. Well, someone gave me another heart!
