I gave 20.00, wish I could give more. So according to the chart, I think I have 20 hearts to give. Is there a way to give a heart to the community as a whole. Over these past 8.5 years, (I lurked for a bit before joining) I have so enjoyed the discussions, news bits and humor. This is the only online community I am a part of and I really appreciate it. Wish I could some how show my appreciation for all of you in this community-Mike

1. thank you

2. I do not think that there is a way to give hearts to the community as a whole. Good Idea, though!

If I might suggest an alternative, posting alerts on other sites or boards directing traffic back here might be a positive way to express your sentiments.

Also, you can give hearts to Skinner, but I think EarlG really gets lost in the mix-- I don't give them to Skinner but I have given hearts to Elad and EarlG.



Sorry Skinner!

3. Good idea thanks

[Skittles]

4. you just accomplished your goal

yes indeed

[gopiscrap]

5. What do you mean? Skittles

by the way, there is a certain member of the Seattle Seahawks who would love your DU name!

8. Buying stars constitutes a donation to keep the site going, thus a gift to members!

Don't let Skittle's calm demeanor fool you... hidden beneath that exterior is some serious fucking brilliance!

[gopiscrap]

9. Thanks I know that

but I was hoping there was a way other that, that we could express appreciation...this is the only site I look at everyday (except the few times I haven't had a computer with me or was in the hospital)

17. "Wish I could some how show my appreciation for all of you"

you just did!

not a football follower; who would like my name? Skittles was a huge solid black cat of mine who ironically passed away on my 5th DU anniversary........I also proudly consider my DU name a tribute to Trayvon Martin.

18. Thank you for your witness

6. Yuo~

already accomplished that gopiscrap

[longship]

7. Excellent!

I do the same, in spite of those who seem to want this place to suck. I just try to be pleasant to those who like to stir the pot.

DU is my online home and my first GoTo in in morning as well as my political and general newswire.

The baddies have driven off many dear people -- wonderful folks like Nadine and so many others. I refuse to knuckle under to the bullying that goes on here.

Sorry for the rant, my friend. But I feel strongly that our community here is only as strong as well reasoned opinions are welcome.

That is why I never take personal offense when somebody disagrees with me. If only the whole of DU would take a similar tact.

10. Good for you!

[cwydro]

11. Another poster suggested

checking out the chronic disease forum if you have hearts to give.

Great idea!

Or just look for those without. Hint, check
posting history first lol! Sometimes there's a good reason for no hearts...

[gopiscrap]

12. Excellent

as one who has had encephalitis as a baby and cancer as an adult, I can sure empathize with those fighting chronic illness and all the medical debt and limitations it brings on.

[cwydro]

14. I went to the bereavement group

as well. Always nice to find a heart I think

[greytdemocrat]

13. Good job!!! n/t

[Jamaal510]

15. If I had 20 hearts

to give, I'd give them to people who either don't have any or not that much, just so they'd feel appreciated and it won't be like some sort of popularity contest.

[gopiscrap]

16. that's what I sort have been doing!
