23. ha, I was just thinking of you

Mon Feb 10, 2014, 02:27 PM

Feb 2014

it is tempting for me to buy hearts.

Then I was wondering. Well, who would I give them to?

And I thought, maybe Seabeyond, she takes a lot of flack on this board.

But now that looks like it would be coals to Newcastle. When I give away hearts, because I like lots of people here. I look for people who have less than three hearts, or even zero hearts, and try to add to their total.

Not a sympathy heart like I am saying "this poor schlemiel doesn't have any hearts, so even though I don't even know them I will give them one." But more on the order of "hey, I like this person and they should have more hearts".

I have even gone spelunking for people like Mythsaje, TimeForChange, NewYawker99 who had not been around for a while and gave them a heart. Maybe they will get an email saying "somebody gave you a heart" and check back in, or at least know "somebody on DU is still thinking about you."

Even now I wonder, even though he has been rude to me more than once, how many hearts H2Oman has.
