Please reply to my post if you don't have a heart yet.

I like to use mine for the folks who mostly lurk, post rarely, fly under the radar, and otherwise might not have the same opportunity as others to receive them. I'm kind of this weirdo bleeding heart liberal in that way. I want opportunities for as many as possible.

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. I had to google your user name.

Yum! I'm putting that on the menu for next week.

[Kitchari]

26. Agree

It's very healthful, and I make a big pot every month or so and freeze it in little containers to eat often, as a side dish or the main dish. Love that stuff!

5. That would be me.

Was quiet the first time around, even more of a wallflower now!

[Pacifist Patriot]

7. Maybe it's because I was in elementary school...

back in the day when kids weren't told to bring a Valentine for everyone in the class. It was painfully obvious who the popular kids were and who the "wallflowers" were. I was one of those who had a respectable showing somewhere in the middle who was mildly jealous of the kids who got loads of Valentines and felt horrible for the ones who got maybe one or two. I think I was born a liberal. LOL!

8. Thanks so much!

6. ... if only I had a heart ...

Been here since 2002 but only have about 3,000 posts (spent most of post-911 posting at UB75 which, in the past, was a good site.

[Pacifist Patriot]

9. I've never heard of it.

What's that?

[davekriss]

14. Aka Urban 75

It’s a Brixton, UK site. Like all of us, denizens there were in shock post 911. It was I think while the then NBC anchor was covering 911 that I discovered both DU and UB75. He said, let’s see what they’re saying over there on DemocraticUnderground and Urban 75.

I went to the internet and, low and behold, there they were. I posted my 911 experience on a heartbreaking thread over there and made around 4000 plus posts on UB75. It included members from the US, UK, and around the world. The threads didn’t drop fast like they did here, so it made for some interesting dialogue. Eventually I migrated here but, as you see, I don’t post much. I mostly lurk and really appreciate the discussions here (they’ve degraded a bit on UB75).

Anyway... I thank the OP for the heart, it’s a nice gesture.

11. I've been out of comission for the last 2 months

Had a bypass around Thanksgiving, so I've been doing a lot of lurking

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. Hope you're healing well!

If I recall, I think it was about 10 weeks recovery for my dad after his surgery back in 2012.

[MiniMe]

13. Doing well, thanks

And thanks for the heart!

[malaise]

15. Get well soon

[MiniMe]

18. Thanks Malaise

Feeling better than I did

[MadLinguist]

16. Been lurking since 2004, posting occasional gnerdly remarks but I couldn't do without DU

When the rest of the world is busily suffocating the truth, or blithely skating along as if everything is oakey doakey, this place is such a refuge

19. I've been spending most of my time trolling...

Right wingers and supporting dems on Twitter!

[Pacifist Patriot]

20. Worthwhile exercise!

[MANative]

21. Thank you!!

[rhiannon55]

22. What a kind person!

I would love a heart.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. No YOU are kind!!

[ribrepin]

23. I stop by everyday, but rarely post

I've been a member since right after 9/11. DU has kept me sane at times.

[Pacifist Patriot]

24. I know that feeling!

Especially now when my in-laws are staying with me and cluttering my house with newspapers that are the print equivalent of FuxNooz.

[ribrepin]

35. Thank you for the hearts

I love DU

[many a good man]

25. I could use a heart

[imaginary girl]

27. Believe it or not ...

Believe it or not, I've been coming daily since 2004! Just don't post very often ... Really appreciate the news and discussion, though!

[imaginary girl]

32. Thank you!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. Hey! A "classmate." Me, Nov 2004. After I was certain

Kerry won. Among others who said , " I've been laying on the floor for three days staring at a dust bunny."

[imaginary girl]

47. Yes!

That's exactly what drew me in. I felt sure Kerry won and this was the first (and only) site I found discussing it.

[prairierose]

28. I don't......

have any hearts and your description sounds a lot like me.

[Silver1]

29. I can't believe it.

I got a heart!

Just saw your post when I noticed I had a message, a heart.

Thank you to my secret admirer.

And, I am indeed a lurker. Reading DU for 5 or 6 years now, and really enjoying the analysis, the humor, the cussing too.

Thanks for mentioning us under the radar folks PP.

30. Still hurting from a tough week

My beloved Niners lose the super bowl. The Orange one becomes even meaner then ever.

[Pacifist Patriot]

31. I honestly can't wrap my head around...

the capacity for such meanness. Boggles my mind.

Sorry about the 49ers.

Hope next week is better!!!
