[khashka]

18. That is so cool!

But what would you expecct?

There are lots of people I like here... but bike writer I actually respect and look up to.

I don't live that far away, do you think he'd let me pet his kittens?


Khash.

[fleabert]

35. I'd think he'd be happy to let you take over!

here's the thread:

[BikeWriter]

97. Thank you, Dear, yes, I would. ;-)

[BikeWriter]

85. Hey thanks, Khash. I returned your PM. They're your cats if you'd like...

to assume the responsibility. I'm sure you'd be much better at it.

[Floogeldy]

23. BikeWriter Rulez!

B-)

[fleabert]

36. yes he does! nt

[khashka]

49. He gets my vote! n/t

Khash.

[BikeWriter]

83. Thank you, Dear. :-)

[fleabert]

102. :smooches:

[BikeWriter]

105. LOL! Thank you and smoochies to you, Sweety.

[Left Is Write]

172. BikeWriter has an awesome username.

From one Writer to another. :D

[BikeWriter]

175. Thank you, Ma'am. Perhaps one day my work will warrant it. :-)

[Left Is Write]

178. And mine too, I hope.

Good luck!

[autorank]

3. southlandshari taught me about Moon Pies

:evilgrin: :pals:

:loveya:

[southlandshari]

41. And autorank put Harvey Keitel back in his sig line

'Nuff said!

:hug:

[Left Is Write]

171. Southlandshari is a very kind and compassionate person.

[southlandshari]

191. Left is Write has the ability...

...to say such profoundly sweet things they leave me speechless!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Does it have to be one per post?

I have so many to compliment, I hardly know where to start! How about with you, KitchenWitch?

You are a sweetheart, and you make me happy when you talk to me...And I love the fact that you started this terrific thread!

:pals:

[KitchenWitch]

6. Awww

I think you are very sweet and caring. I enjoy our conversations! :loveya:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

9. You are cool!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. My dear Crazy Guggenheim! I thank you so much for these kind

words...You are likewise very cool, so intelligent and personable! I love your astronomy threads and your wisdom and insights....It is a privilege to know you...

:hug:

:loveya:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

40. That's the nicest!!

:cry:

[khashka]

5. Jimmy Jazz

We had this really stupid joke/argument going and the longer it went the stupider it got. But we both had fun with it.

She's really great - if I'm being silly, she's just as silly, if I'm being serious, she's just as serious. Plus she awarded me a certificate for sexual deviance :) You gotta love any woman who woud do that.

Smart, funny, and when she ain't here it just isn't the same. When I check in here there are certain people I look for - Jimmy is at the top of my list.

Khash.

[JimmyJazz]

82. WOW! Thanks, sweetie!

I think the world of you, you know :D :loveya:

[BikeWriter]

101. You're right, she's a Doll.

[Left Is Write]

128. I was just thinking about you the other day.

While I was posting a pic of Adrian Paul. It occurred to me I hadn't seen you around for a while.

[WI_DEM]

137. She's the Jazziest!!

[progmom]

150. my love for JimmyJazz is no secret

but i like repeating myself
but i like repeating myself

[GirlinContempt]

7. I can't pick

just one

[lenidog]

22. I know there are so many

I mean just off the top of my head from who I have run into tonite I could pick a half dozen.

[redqueen]

80. Same here... far too many wonderful people!

:loveya:

[ghostsofgiants]

256. You...

You are an incredibly entertaining drunk.

[GirlinContempt]

259. Uhm.... thanks? heh

[Floogeldy]

8. CaliforniaPeggy is a superior human being!

And quite wonderful.

:)

[Crazy Guggenheim]

12. You suck!

:party: :popcorn:

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

13. You are crazy!

:P

[Floogeldy]

17. Vice lord my ass!

In hell!

:evilgrin:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

19. Well ... well ..... I got your retort right here ......

Nothing like breaking up this thread ....

[Floogeldy]

20. That was a compliment.

:)

[Crazy Guggenheim]

26. We've got our own "rudeness thread" going.

Moran!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear Floogeldy!

You are such a lovely guy...I can hardly see my screen for the tears in my eyes...I am feeling a bit emotional tonight (unrelated subject) and your words touch me so much...I feel so much love here...I don't deserve it, but thank you from the bottom of my heart!

:blush:

:loveya:

[Misunderestimator]

110. CaliforniaPeggy rocks!

And her husband is quite cool too!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

119. Hey Missy!

Takes one to know one, I always say...Are you ready for tomorrow??? You are too sweet, my dear girl...


:woohoo:


:yourock:

[Misunderestimator]

133. I'm ready as I'll ever be...

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

140. CaliforniaPeggy makes me want to give her a big giant hug.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Well, I wish we lived in the same neighborhood

so you could! And you'd get that hug right back from me...You are such a cool, lovely, intelligent, slender gal...with that crazy pink top you have! omigod...I'm privileged to know you.

:loveya:

No finer folk ever lived. TTTTB :toast:

(read the sig line)

[KitchenWitch]

11. Hear hear!

:toast:

[RevCheesehead]

14. Bouncy Ball is probably the coolest person on DU.

Funny, smart, thoughtful, and welcoming. I always look forward to her posts. :)

[Bouncy Ball]

21. Uh! Wha?

Wow, thank you Reverend!!! What a HUGE compliment, I consider you to be one of the best. Literally my eyes got big when I read that. YOU? Think THAT? Of ME?

:blush:

[RevCheesehead]

25. Well, it was either you....

or someone like you. ;)

You were one of the first ones to welcome me to the Lounge, and you thought it was cool that I am a Rev in real life. Too many people get hung up about that religion stuff.

And the Haiku. :)

[Bouncy Ball]

28. Well it IS cool that you are a Rev in real life.

To quote Owen (or was it Luke) Wilson in "Meet the Fockers:" "I'm a fan of faith."

[autorank]

56. I agree although I did like the dearly departed victoria5555...

:evilgrin:

[southlandshari]

238. BUSTED!

:rofl:

[autorank]

239. Cuff me and take me away...

:evilgrin:

[southlandshari]

240. southlandshari is wise enough

to refuse to take that bait and turn a perfectly good appreciation thread into a sex thread that will get locked post haste!

:evilgrin: right back at you!

[autorank]

243. Well, all right, be that way.

I thought we were :pals:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

214. I'll second that about Bouncy Ball

I thoroughly enjoy her very informative, entertaining, enjoyable and enlightening posts and have learned a great deal from her and the life experiences she relates on this forum. I also look forward immensely to reading what she writes -and in fact her posts are one of the reasons I most enjoy reading DU these days

[RFKHumphreyObama]

215. And I enjoy reading Rev_Cheesehead's posts immensely

It's great to have a Reverend here who has so much compassion, love, tolerance and open-mindedness on the various issues. As a Christian,I find it wonderful that we have someone like her on this forum and I always thoroughly enjoy and value her posts

[Heidi]

15. Floogeldy's posts make me _think_ , and some of them . . .

make me laugh, too.

[Floogeldy]

27. Gracias

I hope you can make it home soon, if you want. :)

[Heidi]

44. I want!

I miss my family and friends terribly. Heck, I even miss the 110-degree summer afternoons. :hi:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

30. That's cuz he steals my jokes......

[Heidi]

45. I've heard that theft can be not only a crime . . .

but a form of flattery. ;)

[Crazy Guggenheim]

46. That turd head ..........

:grouphug:

[Heidi]

47. Group hug?

Whattaya think this is? A mutual admiration society or something? :grouphug:

[TheProphetess]

16. Well, I have a few to mention

OldLeftieLawyer gave me my star which I greatly appreciate. :yourock:

Left is Write noticed that I haven't been around much and asked where I was - now I feel like part of the Lounge! :hug:

Newyawker99 always makes us feel great by recognizing our milestones and birthdays. :pals:

EstimatedProphet always makes me smile (even when that's not an easy task). :loveya:

[Bouncy Ball]

24. I have to say Left is Write is one of those people

who are just solid. To the core a good person. Would have your back in a second.

I wuv her! :hug:

[TheProphetess]

29. Yes, indeed

She has made me feel very welcome from the start and she always posts positive things. Definitely adds a great deal to the Lounge, in my humble opinion. :)

[Left Is Write]

131. Oh...wow...

You two just made me cry. In a good way.

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

31. Gotta include Skinner in this thread.

Because if it weren't for Skinner, I wouldn't know all of you fine people here. :)

That, and he puts up with a lot of shit. :evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

33. true dat!

Love to Skinner, EarlG, Elad and the mods! :grouphug:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

34. Hear here!

[Bouncy Ball]

37. Hear hear!

:toast:

[GirlinContempt]

39. Ok ok ok

Progmom is a hilarious genuis

Sugar Smack is a sweetheart

whoisalhedges has sweet pants

swag is just beyond awesome

CanuckAmok has great taste in music

[Left Is Write]

132. Sugar is a darn good artist too!

[GirlinContempt]

151. Sadly, I haven't

had the pleasure of seeing any of her work, but I don't doubt it.

[Sugar Smack]

200. AWWWWWWW, no!

You are so damned sweet! Thank you, honey!

:loveya:

Also, you and GIC are stone-foxes! With big freakin' brains!

[southlandshari]

42. progmom has the best taste in music

of any DUer I know.

:thumbsup:

[BlueIris]

43. Vektor is awesome, (she bought me a donor star) but so is

frictionlessO--that's my motto in this life.

[southlandshari]

48. Bamalefty IS the future

and what a great future this young man represents for all of us. Check him out. We are lucky to have him!

:hug:

[NoodleBoy]

50. I appreciate the DU "leets"

and by that, I mean all of the DUers who don't reply to posts made outside their cliques and who get really burned when pretentious people with a lower post count then them challenge their logic.

It reconnects my feet to the ground, by letting me know that no matter what the political philosophy, anyone can suck.

[fleabert]

51. well. the only clique I am in is the late night one!

and I say: :hi:

and, I hope you don't think I suck.

[NoodleBoy]

53. not trying to say everyone is like that

yo.

[BlueIris]

72. There's a late-night clique? I wanna play!

I've never really been in a clique before. But I swear, I learn fast.

[fleabert]

98. rarely am I on at this time of day (1045am)...

i usually hang out in the midnight to 2am zone, pacific of course. I seem to see the same folks here when I am, sometimes it seems like we are the only ones in the lounge! it's easy to get attention when there's only twenty or so folks posting. :-) welcome, see you around!

(I had to try and sleep last night, so I was off by 2am, sorry I missed you!)

[sniffa]

87. i reaLLy shouLdn't be responding

since you're not in my cLique, but speaking for the 'Leets' we appreciate your kind words.

[JimmyJazz]

99. Okay - here goes. Calling yourself "pretentious" is NOT

a compliment:

Pretentious: Claiming or demanding a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified.

Challenge that logic. :D

But, I totally agree with you: anyone can suck. :eyes:

[sniffa]

107. what are you doing!!!?

he's not in our cLique.

[Redstone]

116. Well, I sure whoever you're referring to geniunely appreciates

your compliments, and will be only too eager to compliment you on your gracious manners and social skills in return.

Redstone

[Left Is Write]

134. I like NoodleBoy's user name.

[southlandshari]

52. This term's DU Moderators

need a shout out on this thread, and I hope it isn't just from me (read: post a reply if you agree!).

There are far too many Lounge regulars I love for me to start naming names. So I'm trying to be creative here. Consider this an open door for a possible lovefest subthread between Lounge regulars and DU mods. Come on in, friends. The water's warm...

[KitchenWitch]

54. I so totally agree

This term has been quite a rollercoaster ride...

I did show them some love a few posts up! :loveya: mods!

[Name removed]

57. Deleted message

Message removed by moderator. Click here to review the message board rules.

[southlandshari]

73. LOL!

I should say that the deleted post is mine (I deleted it by accident) - no one said anything snarky about mods there!

Guess I need to go back to Moderator Training 101.

:rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

108. LOL... That's good! You had me curious.

:rofl:

[southlandshari]

232. Technowitch is the most tolerant person on DU

Hands down.

:hug:

[Technowitch]

250. Thanks dear, you're most kind

:hug:

DU is and will continue to be one of my favorite online homes. I know I haven't been in the Lounge much lately...but sometimes threads like this remind me why I came here in the first place.

[southlandshari]

58. Thanks, darlin'!

I really appreciate the love...

:loveya:

So I feel obligated to share this with you. And you may already be aware of this. I must admit it was another mod, antiwarrior, who alerted me to the fact that the badgers may have gone off the deep end some time ago. Seeing your interest in badgers, I thought this might be useful to you:

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/badgers.php

[KitchenWitch]

61. Yup have that flash

It is still funny

[CaliforniaPeggy]

55. Hey southlandshari!

You are so right...the water IS warm! I believe that the DU mods are the best in terms of fairness, patience, humor, wit and all that...They are an impressive group of people and they have their hands full trying to keep us from indulging our cruder impulses! Like herding cats, indeed...

:hug:

[southlandshari]

60. Wow!

Thank you so much for that sweet-as-sweet-iced-tea response, dear!

:hug:

Do ya think you are in the minority with this positive view of moderators? I sure hope not...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

63. You are welcome!

Everyone who I've seen saying something about this is as positive as I am...so I think most people have the same viewpoint as I do...At least I hope so! The negative types are keeping quiet, which is appropriate, IMHO!

[xmas74]

71. I have rarely had an unkind word toward any moderator.

Then again, I rarely have an unkind word toward anyone.
:hi:

[GirlinContempt]

62. Agreed

[enigmatic]

59. All the music people

who have turned me onto new bands and artists; I hope I've returned the favor..

[WilliamPitt]

64. All y'all kick ass

but CaliforniaPeggy is in deep shit.

[KitchenWitch]

65. LOL

I heard all about that :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

66. MR. PITT! I AM NOT EITHER IN DEEP SHIT!

I can't wait to get my hands on you sir....If you have any boots, if I were you, I'd be shaking in them, you bet! This is not very coherent due to the lateness of the hour, but I'm sure a clever guy like yourself gets my drift!

SEE YOU SATURDAY, MR. PITT!

:kick:

[WilliamPitt]

67. What the hell are you doing up at this hour?

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

68. Why Will, don't you say the sweetest things?

I was just going to ask you the same! Isn't it 4:30AM in MA? I couldn't sleep just yet; having too much fun here...

My CD just finished; I think I will start heading for bed. Hope you'll get some sleep too...I do worry about you, you know.

:thumbsup:

[WilliamPitt]

70. I find it almost impossible to sleep before a big trip

No problems, though. I can sleep on the plane. I am going to go outside, watch the sun come up, finish packing, and head to the airport.

See you on Saturday. Oh, but you are in troooooooooouble.

;)

[Redstone]

106. Noogie! Remember to give Pitt a Noogie!

(Hope he doesn't see this and end up being on the lookout for one.)

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

121. Hey there, my dear Redstone...

How are you today? I hope you're feeling well...And you never sent me a PM about your work with Hughes...I asked my husband, and he told me there were about 60,000 people in El Segundo when he was there. He worked there from approx. 1968 through 1995 or so...IIRC. You guys probably didn't do any business together, but ya never know!

Noogies are NOT on my short list for Mr. Pitt's *um* encounter, LOL! But thank you for the suggestion... :evilgrin:


:loveya:

[Left Is Write]

147. That's true! All you DUers do kick ass.

[Ladyhawk]

69. There are too many good people here. That's hard!

But I will try. :)

I love HypnoToad. He was so helpful when I was getting ready for my surgery. He gave me good advice which I have tried to stick to...he's the greatest.

So many of you were there for me when it looked like things were going to fall apart just before my surgery. It makes me cry just to think about it. :) It's a happy sort of crying, though. Thanks.

I love CaliforniaPeggy. She is so compassionate. Maddy McCall is a great DUer. Her posts are always well-written and insightful. AlienGirl is a woman after my own heart. She has the greatest sense of humor and applies it to "being owned" by her "flying toddler with plyers on his face." Believe me, umbrella cockatoos have some of the best plyers in nature. :) Gideon has a much better set than my Amazon. I should be thankful.

I really like all the bird owners here. It's fun to share anecdotes. I also love all you cat and dog lovers. Your posts are a neverending source of entertainment.

Lorien, I love your posts. You are so intelligent and so well-versed in many areas that also interest me. :) Thanks for the heads-up about the Alpha Stim . I sent an email asking about free trials in my area. We'll see. Somehow, I will try it! I would be a fool not to give it a try.

I am also really impressed by "Andy's Angels," who stood up for him through thick and thin. Damn, I want greatauntoftriplets on my side if ever I need her. :) flyarm and sfexpat2000 did some amazing things in a really short period of time. I'm sorry I can talk about all of "Andy's Angels," but you know who you are and you should be proud. I really hope that if there's a "next time" with all this, all of the pain you and Andy went through will show us how to do it better.

I spend so much time here because you people represent something sadly lacking in my hometown: intelligence, artistic ability, curiosity, scientific inquiry, triple-digit IQs. I actually fit in with a lot of you.

nostamj was a favorite DUer and I miss him a lot. I wanted to get to know him even better, but that opportunity was taken from all of us in a brutal fashion.

I missed mentioning hundreds of DUers who impress me every single day. You folks are my lifeline for the time being. Peace be to you and good night. Really this time. ;)

[Left Is Write]

170. Ladyhawk....

You are a sweet lady indeed.

[Maddy McCall]

220. You're great, too, Ladyhawk

You are intelligent, funny, and a real fighter. And you are the resident DU reptile specialist. :D

:hug:

[Zuni]

74. Zuni is sex god

:P

[progmom]

115. yes.

and he's hella funny, too. :rofl:

[Zuni]

210. Hey, thanks Progmom

:hi:

I think you are more lovable than that japanese panda that walks around on it's hind legs!





not, that is not a dude in a red panda suit!

[progmom]

75. Bouncy Ball makes me laugh so hard my side hurts.

She's kind and reasonable and passionate.

:applause:

[Bouncy Ball]

103. Progmom is someone I wish I could hang out with in real life.

:-( But I can't. :-(

:hug:

Thanks, babe.

[progmom]

113. Someday

But I'm not going to Texas so we'll have to meet somewhere in the middle.

If you ever do go to NY, I'll make the trip to meet you. :bounce:

[terrya]

76. terrya can party like it's 1999

[progmom]

145. and he's hot, too!

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

179. Totally agree!

[JimmyJazz]

77. I want to express my appreciation to you, KW, for getting the

addiction/recovery group up and running and to skinner and the admins for recognizing it's need.

But, I can't single out any DUers for recognition because you are all wonderful. Everyone brings something unique to the lounge and that's what makes it such a cool placed to be. I even get a kick out of some of us fighting like brothers and sisters and then, at the end of the day, making up. :)

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Lavender Brown]

78. BigMcLargeHuge was a really funny poster too

Does he not post on DU anymore? :shrug:

[JimmyJazz]

81. I noticed he hasn't been around lately, too.

I'm hoping it's just because he's busy with the new baby and all that. :(

[Lavender Brown]

90. Oh... that explains it

[Left Is Write]

136. He posted baby pics not too long ago, but

like you, I'm hoping it's just family and home life keeping him busy and away from DU.

[progmom]

149. yes i miss him

x(

[RFKHumphreyObama]

217. I worked with BigMcLargeHuge as a moderator

He's a wonderful, warm, kind, sincere person with a big heart and a great sense of humor. After * won the election last year, he was one of those who really made me laugh and lifted my spirits immensely

[MrScorpio]

79. Progmom lays on the great tunage

And you all know how much I love great tunage

[progmom]

84. I thought this said: Progmom lays on the great tongue.

And I thought to myself...well, maybe you don't want to know what I thought to myself. ;)

[MrScorpio]

88. Hey! You've got a dirty mind

It's something else that we have in common

[progmom]

188. yup!

it's a long list, isn't it! :D

[tjwmason]

89. I'm going to break the rules

I just can't restrict myself to one, even this list is but s small sample of my true feelings.

progmom is sweet, charming, adorable - my goodness I could go on for days here.

CaliforniaPeggy says the sweetest things possible - not just to me but to everybody she meets, a true ray of sunshine beaming into D.U.

Miss Honeychurch is up even earlier than I (due to time-zones) and chats to me whilst the Americans are still getting their beauty sleep.

khashka has given me the most outrageous invitation ever - though I have serious qualms about one of his sartorial requirements.

sundog has recently said some of the most charming things to me.

jimmyjazz - does one really need to say more? - what a wonderful person all-round.

sniffa has the most eclectic collection of thread titles one could imagine - and having tried it for a wee while in his absence, anybody who can be bothered to capitalise all of his Ls deserves some recognition

Then there is the seemingly never-ending trail of drop-dead gorgeous men - among whom I can rank from memory:

Cannikin, Taverner, SouthoftheBorderPaul, mark414 plus the already mentioned khashka, sundog, and sniffa - plus many others whose names I cannot recall.

All of the British DUers, who keep up our subversive campaign to make you spell properly.

To the many other wonderful DUers who charm, flatter, pander to, amuse, flirt with, or otherwise entertain and delight me - my apologies for forgetting you, there are too many splendid folk to remember - the simple fact is that you're all wonderful.

[progmom]

91. Not only are you wonderful and sweet and funny - you are also H-O-T!!!

just so you know... ;)

[sundog]

203. awww I just saw this

:hug:

:bounce:

:hug:

[Sugar Smack]

92. Boink_Tukalo is superfly on a sliver platter-

extreme beauty coupled with intense thoughts. He's a lover and a fighter. He pays attention to so much and is full of surprises.

Redstone is a dish and a silver-tongued devil. What's not to love? He's gotten me in trouble at work laughing at his funny posts.

Bridgit's my golden gal. She's beautiful, funny and hits the nail on the head. She's gifted in the art of the "zing", so best not mess with her! She's got your back.

Swag is SMOOTH. The smoothest. You can't get much smoother than swag. Like chocolate mousse with a little spice in it.

GirlInContempt is wonderful. Gorgeous and funny. She makes me feel like a million.

I just love all you guys helplessly.

[progmom]

93. wow - you hit on a lot of my favorites too

and may I add:

Sugar Smack is sexy and smart - we're lucky to have her here.

[Sugar Smack]

96. Oh, progmom! You DO lay on the great tongue!

You are funny, wise, and beautiful...
and so much FUN!!!!!

:bounce: :toast: :loveya:

[chickenscratching]

94. Redstone

has one beautiful mustachio! He also is quite easy on the eyes and the soul.
:toast:

[BikeWriter]

100. Redstone is salt of the earth kind of people.

[Bouncy Ball]

104. I have to admit to being a Redstone fan myself.

He's quite a guy!!

[progmom]

112. Redstone is a kind and wonderful soul.

A true example of a gentleman.
He should teach classes.

[JimmyJazz]

118. I am a Redstone fan as well - oh and jukes, BikeWriter and Sparky!

Words cannot begin to describe my admiration for these men.

130. Redstone is handsome, smart, and kind.

And I still like the world-in-my-eye picture he did.

[In_The_Wind]

95. progmom rescued me on our very first meeting

she's so cool and caring...:yourock:

MissHoneychurch helped me add something to my sig line earlier this month :thumbsup: I couldn't have done it without her!

Rhiannon12866 :scared: helped me outta the 700 club my first time there.

CaliforniaPeggy sees through my smoke screen from across the country :wow:

Revolutionary_Acts_o4 took a wonderful picture of me. :applause:

JimmyJazz makes me laugh.:popcorn:

GirlinContempt taught me how to post pictures into threads:toast:

bushwentawol helps me find my smile when I've temporally misplaced it :hug:

[progmom]

114. You know I think you're da bomb, right?

You are a very nurturing person.

[In_The_Wind]

125. I'm beginning to get that idea!

yes ~ right, thank you ... you know I think ~ you're the best ~




but I was trying to keep the nurturing part a secret :shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

109. NSMA is an amazing cook.

And lots and lots of other things too.... :)

[Left Is Write]

156. Very sharp too - wicked smart.

[Left Is Write]

168. And my comment goes for you too, Misunderestimator.

:)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

111. Chavez speaks the truth (nt)

[progmom]

117. NSMA has great taste in music, and really looks out for her friends.

:hi:

[terrya]

120. arwalden has 25,000 posts! And they're all interesting.

Every single one of them. They show intelligence, wit. Every time I see a post from arwalden, I open it immediately. He's always interesting and entertaining. :-)

[Left Is Write]

169. Arwalden is great. He's one of the first people I started reading

when I got here.

[Redstone]

122. Good Lord, where should I start? In utterly random order as I

struggle to remember...and I'll get the capitalization wrong on at least half:

Amaya, who is a saint,
coffeenap, who is an angel,
SarahBelle, who doesn't drink much but is a great drinking buddy when she does,
LynnZ and Briarius...dudes!
sparosnare, who is a peach,
DS1, a good guy to hang out with,
Bettyellen, the dark, mysterious one,
jonnyblitz, the colorful one,
California Peggy, the neverending ray of sunshine,
Chavez and Cassandra and them in Middletown who I really want to go to a bar with some day,
Ole hoss BikeWriter, to whom I owe a PM and many thanks,

(deep breath before going on...)

Sugar Smack and chickenscratching, the red-haired sisters of sassitude, who really know how to warm an old guy's heart,
Pitt, a fine host and a gentleman to boot,
JJ, as long as she brings me that cheesesteak hoagie next time, or even if she doesn't,
progmom, of course,
yvr girl, absent though she may be,
bouncy ball, who's a real riot,

My fingers are wearing out. The ones I left out, it's only because I gotta get back to work. I do, actually, appreciate just about everyone I've come in contact with here. Except the crabby ones. Oh, and the whiners. (Hey, I gotta put something negative in here so it doesn't get too syrupy.)

I like this place.

Redstone

[SarahB]

242. Thank you, handsome!

Coming to Matcom's? :D

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3383791

[Redstone]

264. You're welcome, cutie!

Not sure about the get-together, but we'll know in a couple of days if the date is clear.

Thanks for letting me know about it; I missed that post entirely. It's good to have someone here at DU to remind me of things that I miss, as Mrs R. does in the rest of life, oblivious soul that I am.

Redstone

[Nye Bevan]

123. I can't believe that nobody mentioned Plaid Adder yet!

She is amazingly talented and always a pleasure to read.

Honorable mention-- TruthIsAll. Still analyzing and simulating seven months after the election. I wish I had his energy and persistence.

[Lex]

124. I appreciate so many of the DU'ers, it'd be hard to just mention a few.

Smart, funny, angry, thoughtful--it's a mixed bag of posters and I like it that way.

:thumbsup:

[Left Is Write]

126. KitchenWitch is thoughtful.

I will never forget KitchenWitch's offer to do something kind for me when I had a craving for some things from home.

[KitchenWitch]

248. Awww thanks

IMHO thoughtful and kind are the highest compliments one can give another...I have tears in my eyes! (in the good way!)

[progmom]

127. bettyellen

who makes great baked goods
makes me laugh
has a huge heart
has great taste in music
is one of the few people i'd choose to hang out w/ over my childhood hero.

[Left Is Write]

129. Bertha makes me smile when she shows off her cute kitties.

Especially Charlie.



Edited because I really can spell. Really.

[bertha katzenengel]

161. You mean CHARLEY? (heh heh)

;) too bad I didn't see this before you edited it!

CHARLEY!


You're sweet, Left. :hi:

[Left Is Write]

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

141. Estimated Prophet and The Prophetess...

...always make supper sound not only delicious, but quite inviting too.

And they are a darn cute couple.

[progmom]

153. yep - the Prophets are good people

:thumbsup:

[AngryAmish]

142. AngryAmish is the best person around here.

Probably is the pinnacle of human evolution. Funny, smart, good looking...I could go on and on.

[progmom]

144. agreed!

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

148. AngryAmish is pretty damn cool.

[progmom]

143. Girl In Contempt, Chickenscratching, Heidi, Bridgit, Sugar Smack, Redqueen

Very funny, very sassy, very smart, very sexy all of you. :hi:

[Sugar Smack]

152. OMG, my little bijoux!

And you even mentioned me twice! LOL! How sweet is that? LOL!

:loveya:

we love us some of your sassiness! Thank you.

[progmom]

186. oy

i meant to put chickenscratching in there. i get you redheads confused?

but i do love you! ;)

[Heidi]

246. Why, thanks, progmom . . . and right backatcha.

:grouphug:

[CubsFan1982]

146. How can I narrow it down to just one?

Tweed: The guy who brought me to the dance (or the guy you should blame for my being here :P ), so to speak. I'd registered way back in March of 2004, but it wasn't until I received an e-mail from this fellow Illinois College Democrat in January that I started posting in earnest. To date, the only DUer I've met, and one of the most knowledgeable people on politics I know. Thanks, man. :)

JohnKleeb: You're one of the smartest people I know, and an overall great kid. You're going to do great in college, and I fully expect that you'll ultimately end up in an Ivy League school. :D

RevActs04: You make me laugh whenever I play DU chat with you guys, what with you and your Constantine obsession. :D Get help, seriously. :P

mark414: Another smart guy I enjoy talking to, and always turning me on to some good tunes. I don't know anyone else that would spend so much time analyzing Freudian concepts and post the analysis on DU. :D

progmom: I can't say anything else about you that hasn't already been said a million times. You rock! :D

MrScorpio: Gotta give it up to the owner of the bar. Can kick the ass of anyone who tries to recruit me into the service. :P

CaliforniaPeggy: Just an overall sweet lady who always has a kind word for everyone. :D

hippiepunk, KitchenWitch, Not_Giving_Up, Reverend_Smitty, ronnykmarshall, biscodawg, Abelman, LynzM, Dark_Leftist, bigwillq, WindRavenX, sniffa, Redstone, Left Is Write, and God knows who else, you and too many others to acknowledge, I greatly appreciate the lightness you guys bring to a sometimes stressful life. :pals:

[RevolutionaryActs]

207. HAHAHAHAHA!

MO-OM! Jesus is picking on me! Make him play nice. :P

[sundog]

[progmom]

[sundog]

167. i have 965 eyes

[progmom]

173. the above the waist part is pretty damn hot

;)

[sundog]

174. no it's not...

i just believe in good lighting :P

you should have seen the proofs :scared:

[Left Is Write]

And we love you too. :hug:

[sundog]

164. thanks gorgeous

[progmom]

157. funny thing about you

[sundog]

162. hahaha

[In_The_Wind]

163. I love you , too ~ sundog

:hug:

[sundog]

165. you are a true sweetheart

and you even played on my Joss Stone thread

xxoo

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

190. I enjoyed the play too ~ sundog

sometimes it takes me a while to shed my serious side and feel like playing ... and then even longer to figure out the game ... but us old dogs can learn new tricks and it is fun to play if the game (or song) hasn't moved on :hug:

[chickenscratching]

176. ok, more

sniffa: aside from making me melt, he is the brightest, finest, sun shiniest!

progmom: my veronica lake idol! truly, what a caring lass, she can be there for you, become quite serious, and then delioriously funny in two seconds or less.

cassandra uprising: sheesh! a timeless treasure, she graciously came to my rescue!

dark leftist: stunning, funny, intelligent, but never see him on here quite enough!

terrya: a DU'er who puts a lot of caring and intelligent thought into his posts! You are obviously NOT a member of the Stupid Fucking Useless Thread Club :silly:

whoisalhedges: frustrating, but intelligent and patient with younglings!

JJ: chop chop! seriously, who couldn't love her?

Jessica: never see you around enough! but the kindest sweetheartiest of the land.

matcom and DS1: your lovey dovey remarks give me plenty of material to bring with me and my lotion when I go to the bathroom.

kitchen witch (and my fellow MNers!)-smart babe! hope to meet her soon since she's only a stones throw away!

holy shit harry--ok, I need to end it here, and I know with the scads of DU'ers here, I forgot to mention probably the other 800 of you that have touched my/others' lives; regardless, I love you all! :loveya:

sincerely,
SFU Thread Inspector


on edit: had to put sarahbelle down! truly, the prettiest, smartest exhibitionist at DU! ;)

[Left Is Write]

[Left Is Write]

177. fleabert is sweet and funny and has a great smile.

[ghostsofgiants]

181. That one dude...

primate1 I think his name is. He's the best (literally and figuratively).

Haha, nah, all you cats are great, no way could I single anyone out (except for my cliquemate, Rev_Acts04, that is, haha).

[Left Is Write]

187. primate1 is very cool, because....

he used the cool word "cats." :)

[Donkeyboy75]

182. Tigereye is not a republican.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

229. Tigereye knows good beer.

And that was much appreciated. :thumbsup:

[halobeam]

197. progmom....

Thanks, RL!! How's that compressor working out?

[RetroLounge]

209. Working great! Thanks!

Blew up the tires on the Oldsmobile, the tires on 2 bikes, and the kid's pool this week!

How's your trip?

RL

[SmileyBoy]

194. This reeks of a popularity contest.

Seriously, things like this make me feel ill, especially when DU has almost 71,000 members.

[progmom]

198. Why?

I think it's great to acknowledge when someone has gone out of their way to be kind to you.

[Sugar Smack]

204. SmileyBoy cracks me up-

and he's freaking CUTE, and he's got me. He had me at, "GRRR".



:loveya: , SmileyBoy!

[leftofthedial]

244. you're just pissed no one mentioned you

[RFKHumphreyObama]

211. MVD has a good taste in music and actors and actresses

Even though I have a different set of actors and actresses who I like, I think he has excellent taste in his favorite actresses and actors and I thoroughly enjoy reading his posts on any subject. He's also an excellent, dedicated and committed moderator -I know from my experience of moderating the Lounge with him and also from my experience with interacting with him when he and I have moderated different forums. I thoroughly enjoy and value his contributions to this forum :yourock: :yourock: :thumbsup:

[mvd]

257. Thank you!!

You had me blushing, SD1981. I want you to know that I equally value your contributions to DU. :yourock:

212. Misunderestimator is so cool!

:)

[elshiva]

213. I love KitchenWitch she inspires me!

Thank you JimmyJazz for the dancing banana.

[Ksec]

216. I like all DUers

Im one of those posters whose been around for ages and still nobody knows who the heck I am.

But I like it that way. If I get into the politics and the feuds then it ruins the board for me so I kinda stay to myself here in the corner, not dancing / wallflower.

[Redstone]

225. You can hide in the corner, but I see you

and like you anyway. So there.

Redstone

[RFKHumphreyObama]

221. All DU'ers are wonderful people

And each of them makes a wonderful contribution to this forum that ensures that this forum is probably the most wonderful, inspirational and interesting on the web. Just because I've mentioned some specific DU'ers in other posts on this thread, shouldn't be interpreted as meaning that I don't have the same amount of respect, admiration and high opinion of all other DU'ers here. This forum is a better place for having all of you on it

[SlavesandBulldozers]

222. haven't seen tom_paine in a while

love his posts. swamp rat is always killing me with those graphics. lorien is awesome. sui_generis would be another, sniffa too -great posters all.

khephra and nostamj lest we forget those who have gone before us.

any fellow DU'ers from Florida I have to give a shout out to. . . just for being FloriDU'ers whose state gets quite a lot of (often well-placed) derision.

[neuvocat]

223. Neuvocat is the best.

He's funny, talented, extremely handsome and not the slightest bit conceited. Not one!

:evilgrin:

[JimmyJazz]

224. I totally agree! Neuvocat RAWKS!

:yourock:

[gmoney]

226. Heidi is wise beyond belief...

When she says something, you best listen and learn.

She's a beauty to boot!

[Left Is Write]

228. I couldn't agree more, on all counts.

[Heidi]

247. Gmoney and LeftIsWrite: Ya'll come on over and get your hugs now.

[henslee]

227. Sleepyhead gave me wonderful canine advice, Mitchum

has good tastes in movies. Prodigal Green is super cool.
