I miss my hearts...

[Wordie]

I signed on this morning and they were gone! :cry:

I know it's silly, but I have a sense of loss. I loved those hearts!

DU really came up with a great fundraising idea...I'll be looking forward to the next drive. Thanks DU!

:applause:

[Swamp Rat]

1. Here's some hearts for ya:

:)

[Wordie]

15. Wow, SwampRat...that is really a beautiful image!

Thanks for that. :)

[Skidmore]

28. And it's not even toxic waste green either.

Good one, Swampy.

[Katherine Brengle]

2. Me too... it's not that silly, lol. n/t

[Wordie]

34. Glad I have company, then. I really got attached to mine!

I have to laugh at myself a bit. I was surprised that I reacted that way.

[hwmnbn]

3. Here you go, Wordie .....

Use these in the meantime.....

[Wordie]

16. Oh! So pretty!!!

I have to apologize to everyone! I started this thread and then my computer crashed...so I am only just seeing these replies now! I love those! Thanks!

[MadisonProgressive]

5. I miss mine too....

[Wordie]

19. And that one even beats! So cool. Did you do that yourself? nt

[MadisonProgressive]

25. I'm not that talented - I'm a thief!

[Wordie]

33. Where did you get it? nt

[YOY]

6. You don't hear Dick Cheney complaining since he put his heart in a

titanium reliquary and shot it to the bottom of the marinara trench all the while repeating his dark pledges to the forces of evil do you?

So buck up little soldier!

[txindy]

13. Okay, that was too funny.

:rofl:

[Synnical]

17. Yes, it was n/t

:P

[applegrove]

7. It gives us something to look forward to. That was nice. Everyone

sharing for a cause. We needed that.

[Wordie]

20. Yes...that's really true. I noticed a sense of togetherness that the heart

campaign seemed to bring about. Everyone pulling together...it was really great.

[applegrove]

35. Peace!

[BuyingThyme]

8. Here's some:

[Wordie]

32. Hey...cool, thanks!

Could you give some of those to the folks downthread who didn't get any. too?

[BuyingThyme]

36. Will do.

[aquart]

10. Thank you for the hearts

Whoever gave them. I was truly touched and more than a bit STUNNED!! They were alot of fun, great idea DU!

11. The hearts were a fleeting image of our love for one another

and other cheesy stuff.

21. You mean we've all had cardioectomies??? We don't get to keep em?

Bummer.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

22. Honestly, it felt like a popularity contest...

And I felt a little left out. I was thankful at least one person liked me enough to give me one, but I still felt kinda left out.
:shrug: High school all over again.

[girl gone mad]

23. Don't feel too bad.

I didn't get any.

I guess it's like never having supermodel looks.
You can't miss something you never had.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

24. Yeah, that's why the hearts were a bad idea...

If I'd have had a heart to give, I'd have given it to you. :hug:

[MadisonProgressive]

26. If I'd only known I would have given you 5!

[Wordie]

30. Oh noooo!!!!

Here you go:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

There even were some threads where people were asking if anybody needed a heart! That's why I liked it as much as I did...there was a lot of generosity that I saw here at DU...

And I know I saw a couple of people that I really wanted to give a heart to...when I saw they didn't have one.

I don't have any cute smilies of my own so here's the only heart one I have again:

:loveya:

And I really think it may have been a question of being in the right place at the right time. Take a look at this thread:

[leftchick]

27. had it lasted longer

like at least a week a lot more folks would have gotten them. I would have given you one had I seen you! :hi:

[Wordie]

31. Yeah, I think that's what explains it; it only lasted a few days.

Not enough time to make sure everyone had one. I think next time we'll be better prepared!

[Wordie]

29. Awww...

Here:

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

There were some people actually searching for people without any hearts...just to give them one. Even people they didn't even know! Look at this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x411332

I did really worry about people who may have gotten overlooked somehow. I don't think it had to do with popularity though...

:grouphug:

Better?

[BuyingThyme]

[incapsulated]

46. I felt the same way

I don't like anyone feeling left out or "unloved" in such a graphic way! I really appreciated those who gave me hearts but it hurt me to see those without or just one. If I had the money I would have given them out to everyone but I don't have nearly that kind of cash, lol.

Yeah, no more like this. :(

[flyarm]

41. will we get BUNNIES???..i miss them too!!..n/t

[aquart]

45. Bunnies!!! LOL!

Or Easter eggs?
