[LadyoftheRabbits]

7. Definitely

I always appreciate that!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I'm with you, my dear lelapin!

Redstone was one of the first DU'ers that I became friends with, last year.......

His wisdom, friendliness, and just plain common sense are great qualities.........

I always know that he will have something worthwhile to say, wherever he shows up!

I appreciate the hell out of Redstone!

:toast: :bounce: :bounce: :toast:

[tinfoil tiaras]

9. Yay Redstone!

I like how he always signs his name after his posts..:D

[LadyoftheRabbits]

10. Yes!

It gives the post an air of authenticity :P

[tinfoil tiaras]

11. Of course!

[Redstone]

32. Hey, I'm old. I go back to when people wrote LETTERS. And you always

signed your letters.

Redstone

[tinfoil tiaras]

45. I LOVE getting letters in the mail

especially when I'm at camp. I love getting letters from my friends. :woohoo:

Tinfoil Tiaras

:P :D

[NewWaveChick1981]

12. Redstone is incredibly cool.

He's always been great to me and never gets in flame wars. :woohoo: :applause:

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

13. I second this thread

:applause:

[Whoa_Nelly]

14. Redstone!

[Floogeldy]

15. Redstone is a stand up guy.

:)

[LadyoftheRabbits]

17. Hey there, Floog!

:hi: You're pretty cool yourself!

[Floogeldy]

23. Hiya, Sweets!

;)

:hi:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

16. Redstone is one cool cat.

:thumbsup:

:hi:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

18. Shameless Kick for Redstone!

:kick:

[Generic Brad]

19. Redstone is awesome!

I was a long time lurker before I finally got the nerve to post. I have been a Redstone appreciator for over a year and when he responded to one of my early posts I felt like I was truly part of the DU community for the first time.

Give it up for Redstone!:applause:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

21. How true!

What a kind man :D

[graywarrior]

20. Redstone Rocks!

:thumbsup:

[flvegan]

22. Hell, muthafuckin yes!!!

Kind, wise and handsome? Okay, I can stipulate to those facts.

However, Redstone is also a good man, a kind soul, and a person I hold in very high reverence. One of my very favorite DUers, and also one of my very favorite people. Not a common mix with me.

Nothing but love and respect for my friend, Redstone...yata hey!

[Redstone]

33. Yata Hey, indeed. I'm at the end of a day here, but am always glad to

respond to such greetings.

We'll smoke the tobacco and cast the salt to the four winds at the Eastern opening of my new lodge.
Someday, we will.

Redstone

[flvegan]

36. All I need Sir, is

the when and where.

Oh, and a reminder to bring the camera. I think that this will be an event.

[Redstone]

37. It'll happen. But I'm weary now, and the details will have

to wait. It's been a long night for me.

But I'll get through it like before. I will.

It's only pain, after all.

Redstone

[flvegan]

39. Sleep well, Sir.

If I could help...well, you know...

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. As I told him today, I'd tell anyone how much I adore him!

He's simply wonderful...and a great addition to this terrific community.

Thank you Redstone, for all you bring to us. :hug:

[u4ic]

25. Redstone is smart,

witty and above all, handsome. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

26. I LOVES me some Redstone!!!

:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

27. Hey there Rev!

:hug:

[fujiyama]

28. He's a cool guy

and I wish him the best with his new house in NH.

[Redstone]

29. Oh, you can't do this to me.

But thank you.

Redstone

[LadyoftheRabbits]

31. Hello there

Sorry... but I can't argue with the masses :D

[Redstone]

35. Argh. I owe you for this, young lady.

But argh anyway. If I were not so DAMN tired tonight...

An "appreciation thread" of my own. How about that. Never, NEVER forget that I owe you for this.

Redstone

[LadyoftheRabbits]

38. Very well...

I shan't forget :D

[fujiyama]

46. Does your invitation still stand

for us to come by and chill at your new house?

If I'm ever in the area, I'll take ya up for the offer.

[Redstone]

62. A standing invitation, that is. No expiration date.

Redstone

[The Wielding Truth]

34. Gee, I didn't know I'd have to join a fan club, but if I must . I must.

I'm a fan.

[Redstone]

40. And I don't even know you..

(Or I may have, and then forgotten, as you might know I tend to do.)

But either way, your joining of the Fan Club is absolutely appreciated. Haven't had one of thos since about 1981.

Redstone

[The Wielding Truth]

65. I changed my icon from impeach bush. hope that jogs

if not I like being forgettable on this site it is easier to post without recrimination.

[liberaltrucker]

41. Hell yes! The Lounge Sage!

:toast: Mr R.

Now hit the sack, young lady!

:rofl:

[NMMNG]

42. Redstone rocks!

[merh]

43. Redstone is the bestest!

:yourock:

[Shine]

44. Redstone, I appreciate you and the wisdom you share.

Hope you and the family are doing well. :hug: :hi:

[Redstone]

51. Hey, sweetie. Haven't talked in a while. Hope all is well with you.

Redstone

[SeattleGirl]

47. I have to get in on this one!

Redstone is one of my very favorite DU posters. As I've told him before, he says so much in so few words, and reading his posts is always worthwhile.

To you, Redstone;

:toast:

[knowbody0]

48. a sage

a treasure, we're lucky to have him!

[wildhorses]

49. Redstone is just too damn good looking, other than that...

he is fucking AWESOME:P

[Broken_Hero]

50. Redstone

:toast: Here's one for you bud...

[Ptah]

52. Here's to Redstone!

[skygazer]

53. Redstone's a great guy

We've had some nice conversations on this board. Redstone, :yourock:

[lost-in-nj]

54. He is cool...

HI Redstone

:toast:



lost

[Redstone]

55. Hey yourself. How are you liking the place so far?

Redstone

[lost-in-nj]

56. It moves

so fast. I get lost!
I actually posted in GD but it was a generic post not to controversial.
Sometimes I think my head will explode reading the posts over there :crazy:
I love the lounge......


lost

[Redstone]

57. "My DU/recent posts" is your friend. Damn easy to get lost without it.

GD's all right. You just have to be willing to defend yourself, so it's better not to express opnions there unless you REALLY believe in what you're saying.

Redstone

[WildEyedLiberal]

64. GD, hell - that's great advice for LIFE

"It's better not to express opinions there unless you REALLY believe in what you're saying."

Words of wisdom. Indeed... and if more people followed your advice, I think we'd have a hell of a lot fewer flamewars on DU.

:toast: Redstone!

[calico1]

58. I don't think I have ever seen a picture of him.

I think he might actually live near me. (Mystic area? Unless I am confusing him with someone else). If so I may have seen him and not know it since I also live in that area. I agree he seems like a nice person.

[Zhade]

59. SCREW HIM!

Nah, he's okay, I'm just being goofy. I don't always (often?) agree with him, but he hasn't tried to come after me with a rusty kitchen knife, which is a plus in my book!

[Dangerously Amused]

60. I LOVES YOU REDSTONE I DO !11!!1!!!1!!

Redstone (he isn't going to like hearing this) is sort of a father figure to me. My own father being largely absent throughout my life, Redstone represents the man I wish I would have had as a father: Wise and protective, insightful, ethical, respectful, sentimental (in the way that makes women swoon)... compassionate, but straight up and no-nonsense when necessary... and all the rest of that really important character stuff that makes him a man's man.


Saying "I LOVES YOU REDSTONE" comes straight from my heart.


:hug: Redstone.

[Sugar Smack]

61. Cuz, you are quality personified.

It is an honor to know you. :toast: :loveya:

[Evergreen Emerald]

63. Redstone was the first person to be nice to me on DU

He is smart and funny and has lots of common sense as evidenced by his thoughtful posts. Sometimes when he doesn't feel well, I feel bad for him, but I remember his lovely family and know that he will be ok.

[Midlodemocrat]

66. Redstone is beyond awesome in so many ways!

Great guy, nicest smile, awesome photographer.

All around wonderful person!

:bounce:

[ForrestGump]

67. The dude is a DUDE!

Redstone is a righteous hombre... :headbang:

[Deep13]

68. Why don't you fix you're little problem and light this candle!

Lift-off for Freedom Seven and Alan Shepard is America's first astronaut!

That flight used a Redstone rocket, named after the Army arsenal where it was developed near Huntsville, Alabama.
