This way, we can conserve bandwidth and make sure our messages get seen.

Thanks for the ones I've gotten already -- and hopefully this will be first "Thank you" of more!

DUers getting hearts today made me envious, I had flashbacks of high school when the school clubs sold balloons and roses and delivered them during classes on Valentine's Day. Of course I, Charlie Brown, never got anything (I think the exchange student from Finland was the only one who didn't get anything either). Thank you so much! I am pathetically happy and grateful.

It was unsettling enough that I would avoid posting during the February fund drive for the first many years. Even so, I've never had a year go by without some kind DUer sending me a heart.

You missed some crazy fun threads. Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover. An article about racism experienced by a guy who posts at DailyKos. If you read those two thread alone you will laugh your ass off. Of course there were a couple of 'answer threads' to those too, which are hilarious as well.

Mahalo.

For saving bandwidth and making this easier.

To everyone who got a heart - I love you.

To everyone who hasn't gotten a heart - I love you.

To anyone who gave me a heart - I love you.

To anyone feeling like they didn't get enough hearts - I love you.

I hope that covers everyone!

I'm a little concerned as well though, because four of mine came at the exact same time.

I thinking it must have been a glitch, and I feel bad about that.

One came later, so I think that was legit.

I'm just feeling like I should have two, not five.

FWIW though, I am trying to spread the love.

69. Thanks, and a grammar question.
Tue Feb 10, 2015, 12:50 AM
Feb 2015

Usually I'm good at grammar, and I feel confident with who/whom issues, but I'm sometimes in doubt about whoever/whomever.

Some posts in this thread go with "whomever":
* "And thank you to whomever bought me a heart!"
* "I sure know I didn't deserve it, but thank you to whomever you are."
* "Whomever you may be, you are my new favorite person!"

I'd be inclined to use "whoever" in each of these instances (because the pronoun is the subject of a verb).

I extend my thanks to whoever gave me a heart and to whoever can weigh in intelligently on the grammar question.

But maybe that'll cue up enough violins that I could end up with a couple?

On the bright side, my wife, Jeanette, and I are going to be looking for a return home date of sometime early April, just after my 46th birthday (which really, REALLY sucks) but hopefully with a salvaged right leg which I can keep for the long haul!

Anyone here got some love for me? Hell, anyone here even friggin' remember me??
