Fortunately, I get to start -- Thank you, whomever!

[Kali]

14. first, thank you for starting this thread

makes it easier for people to see the thank yous than having to stalk giftees' posts to see if they ever said thanks.

second, THANK YOU to whoever gave me hearts. it feels so good that people want to do that for me and I sort of hope/imagine it is partly for MFM too.

third, if someone is inclined to give me any more, please think about finding somebody that needs a boost more than me. from how it feels to me to get a heart, I am sure you could easily bring even more good feelings to more people. spread the love!

[Niagara]

15. Dearest Secret Admirer(s)

I want to think you for the delightful hearts that you have given me. It means so much that you thought about me.

I had every intention on renewing my gold star for Valentine's and instead, I was over zealous with donations to 3 of our Presidential Candidates and to Amy McGrath's campaign to help her defeat Moscow Mitch.

Please find it in your hearts to forgive me for not being able to support DU at this moment. I am fighting for Democratic candidates and our democracy.

Sending My Love to DU ?

[Dem2theMax]

16. rocktivity, thank you for starting this thread.

This is the first year I have really participated in the DU heart tradition.

I have had so much fun giving out hearts. I ran out of them, and I am buying more in a few minutes.
( Who knew it could be addicting?) Spreading joy feels good!

And it truly does feel like a hug when I receive a heart.

I am pretty much alone in this world. DU is my family. This is where I can come to find out anything I need to know, share a little of my own knowledge when it is appropriate, laugh when I really need to, and most of all, feel like I am part of a very special community.

To everyone who gave me hearts, I thank you from the bottom of my very grateful heart. You have no idea of how much it has touched my soul.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

17. Thank you to my

future donor.

Thank you to whoever, and all of you for making me feel welcome.

[backtoblue]

24. Thanks!!!!!!

I also want to take a couple of seconds here to thank everyone for the challenging and interesting topics that come up all of the time on DU, and for providing all w/ plenty of news and reading materials to keep our minds active. A literary goldmine.

[denem]

49. Thank you 'y'all

:blushes:

[captain queeg]

51. Thanks to those who had a heart, and gave one to me

[klook]

52. As an occasional poster

and dedicated longtime lurker (shyly kicks rock, nervously twists forelock), I’m grateful for the notice and appreciation.

And when I renewed my Star membership, I appreciated the chance to bestow a few on talents deserving wider recognition!

[democrank]

53. Thanks for the kindness.

~peace~

[Leghorn21]

54. THANK YOU ❤️

for real!!

[spooky3]

55. Thank you, DU and DUers! nt

[thinkingagain]

56. I want to say thank you again

This morning just after I got up I looked at So and there was a ❤️ oh the joy. I said thank you. Continued getting ready for work only to glance at Du you again and surprise another ❤️ . I said thank you and I posted I thought it would be a nice day. And it was! My grandson and I got out the door early, traffic was light on the way to the day Re and to work
My coworker who has been gone on vacation for a little over two weeks was back so it was much less hectic. Another co-worker/ friend who retired last year we met and had lunch together chat about politics and life. She said she loves being retired everyday is a Saturday.
I didn't have to stay late because I got to.work early so my little longer than usual lunch didn't matter.
Traffic was lite on the way home again. I am sure the double hearts set the tone for a good day.
They are such little things but can mean so much.
So thank you for my hearts again and to all that give hearts to others. You can just see by this thread alone how much you put smiles on people's faces.

[Generic Brad]

57. You have my gratitude

And my thanks.

[Marie Marie]

58. Thanks to the kind donor for my 3rd heart.

They all mean so much to me.

[orleans]

59. thank you to whoever was thinking about me

and was kind enuf to share a heart

love you back!

[Kittycow]

60. I've been burying my head in the sand...

so I don't particpate as much as I used to.

Therefore I was really touched to stop by and I had some hearts! I forgot about my favorite time on DU!

Thank you so much for the encouragement

[royable]

61. Thank you, heart givers!

I got one this afternoon, and one tonight. And I post so infrequently; who would remember me? Thanks!

[royable]

109. And now I just finished giving away hearts, too. 1/2 to deserving DUers with no hearts yet,

and 1/2 to some DUers I admire. I followed someone else's suggestion to root around in the groups for people with no hearts but recent postings.

Happy Valentine's Day!

[Bayard]

62. Thank you, my DU friends!

From my heart to yours.

[JudyM]

63. Thanking again because I was blessed with more hearts since my 1st thank you ❤️

Getting hearts really is a bright spot, I've been feeling pretty down about things the past few weeks, especially. Gotta keep on keepin on.

A humble bow to my sweet benefactors

Thanks for the thread/opportunity for more gratitude

[deek]

64. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[Fla Dem]

65. Thank you everyone who planted a big heart on me! 💕😻

[fleabiscuit]

66. Thank you for the heart. It touched me deeply.

[Rhiannon12866]

67. Great idea! I was waiting for this! Thank you so much, from my heart to yours!

I'm a bit overwhelmed, but grateful, since I've tried to bring a little humor here during these trying times. But I have a embarrassment of hearts, my generous friends - so please do something for me to pay it forward - instead of giving another heart to me, find someone here who could use a heart - because they're new, they don't post very much, someone whose post you like, supports a candidate you like or just someone who has been overlooked - you could make their day - and mine!

[sheshe2]

96. I'm with you here.

Overwhelmed.

I buy hearts to renew my star membership each year. I give the few I can buy to those that have none. Everyone should have hearts.

[Rhiannon12866]

98. Awww, I feel the same way. Everyone here deserves a few hearts

And my star is up for renewal in May, but I still buy too many hearts because there are so many DUers I like, not to mention those who could use one - or two.

[sheshe2]

103. ...

[Roland99]

68. Thank you, everyone!

[Dennis Donovan]

69. Thank you everyone!

I second what Rhiannon12866 said upthread. Spread a heart to those who may not have one:



Oh, 'cmon... you know what I mean.

[renate]

70. Thank you... it genuinely means a lot

It really does! It’s very touching. Thank you!

[Thyla]

71. Excellent!

Thank you nice people for my hearts as well.
Was waiting to see this thread.

106. Thank you three times!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[7wo7rees]

107. Yes DU!! Thank you all so much for the yearly fundraiser for DU

to let us all know who the cool kids are.

Anyone here reminded of Jr.High or High School or even elementary when you were not one of the popular kids? It's still the same.

So, you don't post much, you aren't well known or much loved? It's ok.

We've been here at DU in one form or other since 2001. It is difficult to see this playing out, year after year. Unknown members saying thank you for just 1 or 2 hearts. It breaks my heart . I believe DU is better than this.

And yes we do have faves here, and yes many are not here anymore. I am sorry, but I truly believe this hurts more than it ever gives and I've watched it play out year after year.

So to all you DU'ers that lurk, that don't post much, that can't afford to "buy" hearts to give.....
You are loved with or without hearts. PERIOD.

Much love to you all!!

Been at DU since BartCop referred us and Will Pitt too. September of 2001. Anyone remember RB Hamm?

Ms. 7wo7rees
