Etiquette when given hearts.

[Bev54]

I am not really sure how or when to respond when I receive a heart from an anonymous source. I am very grateful and humbled when they present on but not sure if I should respond to each one or wait until the end of the day. Is there proper or long standing etiquette to guide us?

Thank you to those who have already sent hearts.

1. I often borrowed another thread and said ty there

)))

2. That's what I do too!

[Arthur_Frain]

8. I'm going to do just that

Thanks to all those who gave me hearts this year.

[claudette]

5. Me too

Also, I amended my original thank you post to include those received after the first one. Again. I am SO grateful to those who anonymously sent me hearts. It brightened my day and made me feel so welcomed here. ❤️❤️❤️ To you!!! 😊

7. Great idea - I'm going to do that right now.

Thank you to all of the sweet people who gave me hearts! It's so lovely and really has given me a lift lately. I truly appreciate it - thank you! 🥰

19. Me too!

Thank you for the hearts!

29. I'll do that here as well. Thank you for the hearts.

I started a thread in the Lounge after the first one, but felt a little silly doing it again.

3. Because they are anonymous, thanks are not needed

Although it is nice to either start a "thanks for hearts" thread or to join in on one....givers get pleasure in the giving, not the gratitude. (At least from my experience)

6. I haven't thanked anyone yet. THANK YOU!!

[Maeve]

16. And now I have 5! Here's to the sweethearts of DU!!

Many thanks to anonymous friends!

4. I don't think there is an etiquette rule about the hearts that I am aware of.

Some people don't like all the the thank you posts cluttering up things.
Others really like to see the thank you posts and people like posting them.

I think people should do what they want.

But yes piggybacking on other thank you posts is an idea.

9. Like several others, I posted a thank you comment

in a thread that someone else started. Today it was a thank you thread in the DU Lounge.

[2naSalit]

10. And I piggy-backed a couple days ago...

But I have a whole lot more hearts added since then so I'll probably start a thread at some point.

But until then, thank you to all who gave me hearts, I cherish every single one!

11. Hearts made my day!!! Many thanks.

[Cha]

12. I respond by passing the 💕💕

on.. I've never made an OP thanking the anonymous heart givers but I have in past years posted my Thanks & Gratitude on threads already in motion.

So here I am today.. Thank you for your thread & Thanks to all those who send hearts to me & everyone else!

It's so much fun.. I just bought my hearts today!

[urbanhermit]

13. Thanks for the love!!

[ellie]

14. Thank you

to the kind soul who gave me a heart!

[leighbythesea2]

15. Glad to see this post

Because i don’t always want to start a thread saying thanks for the hearts? But now I can add here THANKS for the hearts! February is a lovely time around DU.

[Sogo]

17. I appreciate the hearts I've received, too!!

Thank you, anonymous givers!.....

[happybird]

18. Thank you to everyone who sent me a heart!

They definitely make my day brighter.

And thank you, Bev54, for bringing this up. I wasn’t sure whether to start another ‘thank you’ thread since there are so many and just wasn’t sure of the best way to handle it.

20. You're doing fine! Thanks for giving me a place to say thank you!

I love Valentine Week. I love giving them, and looking for names I might have just let slip by in ordinary times. “Oh! I like them! They deserve a heart.” And I like seeking out those who are new or don’t have any yet. It’s fun to imagine them smiling.

DU at its best.

21. They come anonymously.

Sometimes I hint I am spreading some love, but the whole thing is so easy to do and fun to receive--especially after so much indoor time away from social events (for me, at least).

I will happily express thanks to all who have perked me up with hearts! Thank you.

[bamagal62]

22. Thank you for my 💕

It lifts my spirits!
It’s such a lovely idea and I look forward to giving them each year.

[dickthegrouch]

23. I too am delighted to see the hearts given to me. Thank you

I like being able to give them anonymously.

[Bev54]

24. Thank you again for all the hearts!

[Raine]

25. I always wonder too

sometimes I start a thread and sometimes I add to one that's already up. No matter how I do it I always appreciate the heart so much.

[littlewolf]

26. I would like to take this time

to say thank you for the hearts ...

[rictofen]

27. Thank you!

[AmBlue]

28. adding my thanks here too!

Always so nice to get a DU heart!

[tavernier]

30. I gave out 25 of them but don't remember most

and don’t expect to be thanked because they are anonymous. I specifically gave several to a person who brightens my Sunday mornings for years with laughter, pictures and cartoons, but the others went to folks who caught my attention with a post.

31. I'm just grateful to have this oasis of sanity:)

It’s a precious refuge here, and a reminder I’m not alone in fighting the War On Truth
