Is there anyone here who doesn't adore California Peggy?

[tavalon]

I know I do and I've never seen anything but kind words to and from her. So, I guess this is my California Peggy appreciation thread!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear tavalon!

Omigod!

Thank you!

[dana_b]

2. she's a sweetheart!!

no doubt.

[petronius]

3. Are you kidding? Practically everybody.

Wait - what was the question?

[tavalon]

5. It was worded stupidly,

As though I was trolling for California Peggy haters. I'm not and I suspect it would be futile if I were!

[Pool Hall Ace]

4. Probably.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I like her! But isn't she on forced ignore with at least one other poster?

Not that she should worry about it or anything. After all, you're nobody 'til somebody loathes you.

[tavalon]

6. Ha! LOL

i'm hated by three people. Does that mean I'm three times the somebody?

[Pool Hall Ace]

8. You're once . . . twice . . . three times a tavalon . . .

and I looooove yooooou!

[cwydro]

43. I think she is on forced ignore with the same one (or two )

that I am.

I have never interacted with them ever. It's still a mystery.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. The forced ignores aren't in effect over here on DU3.

I've seen both people here.

And yes, it sure is a mystery!

[madinmaryland]

7. I abhor her use of the F-bomb!

[tavalon]

10. Okay, you're joking right?

I suspect she doesn't even know what the f bomb is! Then again, in RL, she may talk like a sailor. Who knows?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. I do too know what it is!

I fucking use it all the time, lol!

[tavalon]

12. YES!

You just earned two more coolness points! I fucking love it!

[Moondog]

9. Sorry, I can't think of anybody.

A charming lady (in the old school sense of the word), with a kind word for all, and malice towards none.

Too bad she lives on the west coast. If she lived on the east coast, I'd drive a fair distance just to meet her and her significant other, and to treat them both to a leisurely lunch and a bottle or two of wine.

[unapatriciated]

14. moondog...I knew a moondog back in Cali

he moved to Florida. Mom's name Marsha.
What are the chances you are one in the same?


edited to add: wish I had known California Peggy when I lived in California.

[tavalon]

15. If he was a surfer

There were a lot of surfers who called themselves moondog. But stranger things have happened. Sometimes, the world is smaller than we realize.

[unapatriciated]

22. That is his actual given name, so I thought the chances were slim.

Yes the world is smaller than we realize. When I first moved to Georgia I found myself working with the daughter of the OB that delivered two of my kids in California.

[OriginalGeek]

42. WEIRD SUBTHREAD IS WEIRD

but I can contribute.

I grew up in Texas but moved to Florida 28 years ago. I went to school here, met a girl here and am married to her still.
About 5 years into our marriage she got a job at a daycare center where she met and became good friends with a girl who came from Texas. Turns out this girl and her 5 sisters grew up about 10 miles from where I lived for a while in Texas. Furthermore, her older sister worked at a Wataburger one block from the house my friend and I lived in - she was the manager on duty when my friend and I strolled in one day looking for work but she wouldn't hire us because we had long hair.

They all moved to Florida around the same time I did and in the 90s when the Cowboys were having their run of good luck my wife and I went to their parents' house for Superbowl parties. We laughed about that time when older sis didn't hire me and my friend and she admitted remembering us and feeling bad about it too- she wanted to hire us but company policy forbade it and we weren't interested in cutting our hair for the job.

It's OK, Pizza Inn down the street had no problems with our hair and better food.


ANYwayyyyy, I am happy to sign on to a CaliforniaPeggy appreciation thread. Would it be against the rules to create an alt account just so I could sign on twice?

No matter, in my heart I'll always vote twice for CaliforniaPeggy.

[Moondog]

18. I have never lived in CA. The screen name, well,

is an old callsign from another life. When I first signed up for DU all of my usual noms de plume were taken, and on short notice it was all I could come up with. And now I'm stuck with it.

My mother's given name was not Marsha.

I do surf, or did, long ago. But that is not the provenance of the screen name.

[unapatriciated]

20. That was his actual given name, so thought the chances were slim.

He is a very nice young man and not sure if he ever surfed. His mom like myself were teens in the sixties in California so we are a product of that long ago culture. I however chose more mainstream names for my kids.

[Moondog]

21. We

apparently spring from the same culture.

And on behalf of your children -- Thank You.

[tavalon]

24. That reminds me of a (now) cute story my husband told me

His mom and dad were teens in California in the sixties. He says he was conceived in the summer of love, followed by the fall of "oh, shit". His dad left but his mom raised him and she's still all hippie and mostly cool and only 11 years older than me(16 years older than her son).

[unapatriciated]

26. I know that last season all too well.

I did however manage to have four summers before my finale fall.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. Well, if they don't adore Peggy...

...there is something wrong with them. She is simply brilliant and adorable and I love her.
Duckie

[From The Ashes]

16. I adore her..

...especially her use of 'My Dear From The Ashes' when she responds to me. She's a sweetie!

[Faygo Kid]

17. She's much too young to make an informed judgment.

We'll have to wait until she reaches middle age or so.

[Scuba]

19. There better not be, or they'll have to deal with me....

and a whole bunch of other DU'ers who love California Peggy. Thanks for this thread.

[Curmudgeoness]

23. I don't adore her.

She is just too nice and sweet, and well, that gets old. Hell, someone posted a link to FReeper posts, and I ran into FReepers saying nice things about her. Yikes.

Oh, wait, you didn't say "abhor" her? Shit. Never mind.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

25. She really is a class act. I know first hand her kindness and quiet ways.

I want to be just like her when I grow up

[applegrove]

27. She uplifts me with every responce.

[unionworks]

28. K&R

... she is a sweetheart!

[MiddleFingerMom]

29. CaliforniaPeggy is one of those rare folks who've grown up, but not old...

.
.
.
... and she reminds me of my cat NoName -- who was truly sweetness
personified... but she could STILL drop an F-bomb with pinpoint accuracy.
.
.
.
She's not the moral (ew)... but the kindness compass of DU.

[tavalon]

35. Yeah, that's how I see her

[irisblue]

30. she rocks! totally

[OmahaBlueDog]

31. There are those who don't adore CP. They hang out at FreeRepublic.

All true DUers love her. It's part of the TOS.

Really

Go look it up

[tavalon]

34. Hey, if FR doesn't hate you, then what's the point

I've been discussed a time or two over there ( told second hand).

[ohiosmith]

32. I love CP.

[nolabear]

33. What's not to love?

F-Stops, F-bombs, poetry, and a way of making "My dear" really feelike "My dear".

Fine woman.

[kaitcat]

36. Sure.

I love it when I see her replies in a thread I'm in, so I appreciate the appreciation.

Side note, I have most of the popular, ubiquitous Lounge denizens on ignore.

[chknltl]

37. CP or DP

California Peggy or Dolly Partin..... Pretty much equal in my adore book.

My kid got me this fancyshmancy phone which I am using to post this post with. I am woefully incompetent with it so far but my kid swears i will get the hang of it . I look forward to posting in the good ol DU again when I do get this contraption figured out. c

[femmocrat]

38. Nope! Not a soul.

That I know of, anyhow!

I (((heart))) our dear CalPeg!!!

[Mopar151]

39. Of course not!

Sign me up for the fan club.

[pacalo]

40. Count me in!

CaliforniaPeggy's kindness & compassion toward everyone is so evident. She has my deepest respect & admiration.

[Dystopian]

41. Adore...Yes!

Peggy is brilliant, beautiful and has a heart of gold.

Thanks for this sweet thread....



peace~

[Little Star]

45. Hard to find a person with a better heart than CP!

[Swede]

46. She is a sweetheart.

My favorite DUer.
