[Dave Reynolds]

Oh, hi progmom...:hi:

[progmom]

6. Hey Dave Reynolds!

I always love to read what you have to say, especially since you're a Red Wings fan!!! :D

[Dave Reynolds]

23. I am sorely missing

hockey this year...:cry:

And watching Meechigan play hockey this year is way painful.

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. I lurve you.

:loveya:

[progmom]

10. And I looooooooooooove you.

And I cannot wait to meet you in 3 1/2 weeks!!!!

[RevolutionaryActs]

[Catch22Dem]

79. Nah, I was more of a Milo guy myself

Chocolate covered cotton! Brilliant!!!

[no name no slogan]

4. Hi progmom

:yourock:

[progmom]

17. Hey no name!

I hope you're having a good night.
I've been letting things get to me too much, but no more - there are too many wonderful people here (like yourself!).

:hi:

[ulysses]

5. ok, then - I could use it tonight.

Hi, progmom!

[progmom]

19. Hey ulysses!

You have a wonderful, dry sense of humor. I don't often post to you, but I admire you from afar.

[Wonk]

7. I wonder which thread will end up with more replies, this one or the

"I'll call you a wanker" one?

[progmom]

21. Hey Wonk.

I really admire the passion with which you seem to approach life.

:hi:

[MrScorpio]

8. I always love having nice things said to me, Sugar Pie

:hug:

Thanks

[progmom]

24. MrScorpio

I think of you as the Godfather of the Lounge. I fear and respect you. And I think you're sexy as hell.

:hug:

[elperromagico]

9. Alabamafornia.

[progmom]

26. I honestly have no idea what that means...

...but I think you're swell.

When I see a post with your name on it, I always want to read it.

[Huckebein the Raven]

11. Root for me in the drinking thread please

JimmyJazz voted for Rev

[progmom]

29. DL

You are so wonderful, and I am glad to know you. You're a stand-up guy. And you're super cute.

And I'm not voting in any drinking games.

[JimmyJazz]

13. How was your workout?

:hi:

[progmom]

30. Uninspired.

I spent too much time on the phone with you in the parking lot and not enough on the precor machine.

25/350. Blah.


Oh yeah - and the nice stuff.

You are like a sister to me. I love you. :loveya:

[JimmyJazz]

36. I'm sorry - I didn't mean to distract you.

Perhaps a nice flame war or a snarkfest to light a fire under you??? It seems to have worked wonders for me - I think I'm buff now :silly:

[fluffernutter]

14. you are always nice, sweetie.

you only snark when some snarking is needed :thumbsup:

[progmom]

32. Yeah, but I always feel icky when I snark.

The last couple of days I have been especially snarky, and I don't like it one bit. I'll still stick up for my friends if I see them getting hurt, but I gotta let that Christianity thing go.

Fluff, you are as sweet as the day is long. Thanks for being a friend. :loveya:

[AlCzervik]

16. This is a trick right? Or some kind of trap?

[progmom]

33. Hey there!

Another one of my favorite lounge lizards!!

How are you tonight??

:loveya:

[AlCzervik]

35. i'm good, well i'm ok, you know.

how are you? How the nice thing going?

[progmom]

65. the nice thing feels better than the snarky thing...

:bounce:

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. No. I will say something nice about you. Your program on Saturday was

so wonderful that I shut off DU and sat down in the dark of my basement with my eyes closed and...just listened. Thank you for bringing peace to my life for a little while.

:hug:

[progmom]

34. Well that almost made me cry.

MrsGrumpy, I adore you.

You are smart and witty and loving and so many things I want to be. Thanks for adding to my quality of life.

[ScreamingMeemie]

68. Ahhh. Well that feeling is mutual. You have made so many days

less painful and more fun. Thank you for always helping keep the smile on this face! :loveya:

[JohnKleeb]

20. Hey, I feel better, thanks now whats that nice thing lol

[progmom]

37. John Kleeb, when I told you I think you can change the world, I meant it.

Not to sound like Yoda, but I see great things in you.

Anything you ever need from me, you just tell me, ok?

:loveya:

[JohnKleeb]

42. Thanks and I appreciate the help earlier

I'll be lucky just to have a job :).

[salin]

22. So I posted a really obnoxious thread title copy cat thread tonight

can I be rehabilitated?

[progmom]

39. But I always love your copycat threads!

I did that yesterday, and then went back and self-deleted. But mine prolly would have been vaporized if I hadn't done that.

:hi:

[salin]

I almost vaporized mine

before posting it... and then wouldn't you know - I get into a conversation... so the title keeps floating up without the others - and thus with no context. Glad for the conversation - but I have to admit that the copycat thread title - without the context of the other threads.. is a tad bit embarassing.

Am I correct that your radio show is Michigan based? Over a decade ago I spent my time spit between ann arbor and michigan for a number of years. Best radio opton at the time -or at least per my taste at the time - was WDET (public radio - detriot) played the morning news twice (so could catch over more time) - great mix of music - good range of programming. No idea what the airwaves are like these days. Been out west ( bay area) before relocating south of Mi, in IN (where i grew up) - and the radio here is more than abysmal.

[progmom]

62. WDET is still a great public station.

I do a show for WEMU - we're primarily jazz and news.

Where in IN? I have a friend who is PD for a public station in Ft Wayne.

[salin]

69. Very cool

used to send press releases for a local Washtenaw county group to WEMU. - and lived not a couple of blocks from the EMU stadium.

I miss typed above back then I was between A2 and Detroit. Now I split time between Indianapolis and Bloomingnton (one might correctly infer that I have a thing for college towns).

Haven't heard the public radio station in Ft Wayne - but some of the more interesting news items (more data than the ap) for the state news come out of the Ft. Wayne newspaper.

When is your show on - and can I hear it through the net?

[progmom]

71. You can hear me on Saturdays from 12-2

www.wemu.org

:D

[salin]

72. Very Cool

thanks :D

[bigwillq]

25. What's up sexy!

:evilgrin:

[progmom]

43. Hey bigwillq!

You always flirt with all the other girls!

Are you going to bring your fine self to Boston in April??

[bigwillq]

107. I'm going to flirt with you all day!

I'm trying to get my sexy self to Beantown. Trying to fix my work sked!:hi:

[Tom Kitten]

27. I feel so lost here a lot of times

I'm not an activist with a supreme mind for witty postings but occasionally I try...I do still have a lot of passion but I feel like I do not connect very often...

[progmom]

44. Tom Kitten

You always connect with me. Really.

How is your health? I think of you often.

[Goathead]

28. Hi there!

How ya doin' tonight? You're great, by the way.:applause:

[progmom]

45. My new friend Goathead!

How come I never noticed you before last week?? You're freaking hilarious!!!!!!


Glad to know you!!!!

[WindRavenX]

31. I need a late-night pick-me-up

I have work x(

[progmom]

47. WindRavenX

You have an unerring drive to right what is wrong, and I admire that. You called me on it once when I was being immature, and you were 100% correct.

Can't wait to meet you in April!!

:loveya:

[WindRavenX]

49. I know! It's gonna be a BLAST!

ESPECIALLY since I am going to try to bring stuff to make my famous Cosmopolitans- bwahah!!! :hi:

[Longgrain]

38. Is there anything nice you can say about me?

I've been going between moods lately...

[progmom]

50. Longgrain.

Of course there is.

You're very smart, and you make very convincing arguments. I was reading some of what you had to say in the religion forum the other day.

Hey - when are we going to get another pic to color?? :P

[Longgrain]

61. Ah... it looks like the coloring contest craze has died down...

And after that "post yourself" thread, and that Photography contest...quite frankly, I'm pooped...

Maybe some day.:hi:

[LynzM]

40. hey progmom

I just could use a hug tonight, I'm all hormonal and emotional about stuff. Meh.

[progmom]

52. Me too.

I've got some serious PMS going on.

Here's a big hug from me:



You're one of the people I always gravitate toward in the lounge. Thanks!!

[LynzM]

58. Thanks :)

Here's some for you:

This hug because it made me laugh



and

[Bok_Tukalo]

41. You were snarky?

<eom>

[progmom]

53. Yeah.

This is my penance. :P


I love the Hopper in your avatar. He's one of my favorite artists.

And I think you're a really great DUer, and I'm thrilled that you post to me.

:hi:

[elshiva]

46. I luff you progmom!

[progmom]

54. Hey elshiva

I luff you too!!!!! You rock in a big ole way. You are both wise and a wise-ass - a great combination!!!!!!


:loveya:

[elshiva]

60. THANK YOU!

I luff is from Annie Hall when Alvy Singer says to Annie "I don't love you, I luff you, two f's."

Have some popcorn:
:popcorn:

[progmom]

63. I used "luff" just the other day with Sundog.

I luff that movie. One of my faves. :D

[elshiva]

76. hehehe! Annie Hall is the best.

[Steve Nash is god 13]

How are you enjoying the NCAA playoffs? Some great games over the weekend.

Who are you rooting for to take it all?

:hi:

[kedrys]

51. Great to see you, progmom! :)

:hi:

[progmom]

57. Hi kedrys !

We joined DU within a few days of eachother!

You always have a kind word for people - that's something I truly admire.

:hi:

[Amaya]

56. Go for it...

:hi: ;)

[progmom]

59. I've seen your pics. I'm intimidated by your hotness.

:P


And your intelligence. To me, you're one of the people who defines DU.

:hi:

[Amaya]

66. Stop that ! :P

I'll see ya in Boston. We'll show you a good time

:D

[sundog]

64. What is this 'nice progmom' business?

Don't let them change you!

:P

[progmom]

67. meh. i was letting "them" change me.

I think nice is what I'm supposed to be.

How is your night going?

Earlier tonight I was waxing ecsatic about you -- you're the bee's knees, the cat's pyjamas. I'm telling you - we have to have a west coast meetup. We can rent a convertible and cruise the Castro!!

:P

[sundog]

70. awww

I seriously want to meet you and the 'little one' (little one meaning my beloved JJ of course :evilgrin:)

I'm thinking we should do Vegas. :bounce:

But I need to sell my place so I can do some serious vacationing.

Send me some real estate vibes... just don't crash du again in the process :P

[Dastard Stepchild]

73. uhhhh..... hello.

:)

[progmom]

74. Hello yerself!

Besides loving your avatar, I have found myself recently being struck at how much sense you make.

And I love your tattoo!

[Dastard Stepchild]

121. Welll... those are nice comments! :)

I'm.... pleasantly speechless. :)

[Not_Giving_Up]

75. Hey progmom!

Tell me that I'm gonna get that job!

[progmom]

77. I believe it, I really do.

I'd hire you in a second!!!

:bounce:

[Not_Giving_Up]

78. Cool!

Would you pay me $22-$24 an hour?? They will!

Besides...you did...You made me secretary of the secret society...remember???

[progmom]

80. Erm.

Maybe we should keep our fingers crossed for that other job!

:P


:hi:

[Not_Giving_Up]

81. ROTFLMAO

:rofl: :spray:

Seriously...We're talking double what I make now!

[Anarcho-Socialist]

82. Hello progmom, do you know something to help my insomnia?

:) :hi:

[progmom]

83. This works for me:

Log off DU. :P

[Anarcho-Socialist]

84. You're right

Me need sleep...

[Guy Fawkes]

85. I wish my throat didn't hurt...

could you do that?

[progmom]

86. I said I would say something nice....

...not heal you! :P

You're wonderful and goofy and I hope you feel better soon! :hug:

[Magrittes Pipe]

87. Nobody likes you.

Your personality is grating and you smell of wee.

[progmom]

90. How did you know?

I've been hanging around my stinky-diapered kid too much.

You, whoisalhedges, are one stand-up, funny, caring, amazing guy. :hi:

[Brewman_Jax]

88. Okay

hello to you, too!

[progmom]

91. Hi there!

You have the world's best user name, and I love your avatar!

[Brewman_Jax]

97. Thanks!

World's best name? Thanks! That's from my favorite pattern (Yes, I have a drawer full of argyle socks.) and I spend more time reading than posting. The avatar is what I'd rather be doing. I did spend the weekend watching the World Cup qualifying matches. USA did very well in Mexico City.

[bertha katzenengel]

89. I am having a crisis.

I think I have decided on a final username, but one never knows with me. Just ask anyone who knows me. I'm all over the map on every subject on any given day.

[progmom]

92. I gotta tell you...

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. :hug:

[bertha katzenengel]

96. oh, thank you, progmom

You're a mensch.

[Misunderestimator]

94. LMAO... I almost posted that name in your thread yesterday to suggest

you use it! Perfect!! :applause:

[bertha katzenengel]

95. Really? bertha katzenengel?

Cool. :7

[Misunderestimator]

98. Yes, it's absolutely perfect... and you keep the Bertha!

...so, little lazy me won't have to keep thinking "Der Engel der Katzen" is really "Bertha Venation", like I constantly have to do with Commie Pinko Dirtbag (= JCCyC) among many others who changed their names during the amnesty. :crazy: It's like learning a foreign language as an adult... you never really stop translating in your head... exhausting.

[bertha katzenengel]

100. "you never really stop translating in your head" -- oh, no...

I really want to learn Spanish. Sigh.

Okay. There's a vote for keeping bertha katzenengel. :woohoo:

[progmom]

101. Hey! It's Misunderestimator!!

A beautiful woman, inside and out!!

:loveya:

[Misunderestimator]

104. Aw.... you're sweet.

:loveya: and I say the same about you... :)

[johnnie]

93. I could use something nice

I'm trying to wake myself up here.

[progmom]

102. Good morning, johnnie.

Keep fighting for what's right. I've got your back!

:hi:

[terrya]

99. You were awesome in a particular thread yesterday.

And you know which thread I'm talking about.

But, actually, you're awesome all the time. :-)

Terry

[progmom]

103. Thanks.

:blush:

I think I know what you're talking about, and I felt like it had to be done. It won't make any difference, but at least I got it off my chest.

And you, my friend, are one of the reasons I keep coming back to DU.
:loveya:

[Richardo]

105. 'morning progmom...

You of the cool job and excellent musical taste! :hi:

[progmom]

106. morning Richardo!

You of the kind words and awesome avatar! :loveya:

[LynneSin]

108. I have really really bad menstrual cramps

There!

[progmom]

110. And I have PMS.

So I'll be joining you in your crampiness soon.


LynneSin - you're a sweetie, and I love how far you will go out of your way to be kind to people.

:loveya:

[MissMillie]

109. Hi progmom

:hi:

Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I never noticed that you were snarky.

[progmom]

112. I've been a little quick with the trigger finger the last couple of days

And it doesn't feel good.

Hey - so congratulations on the new workout regimine! I've started going back to the gym as well - I'm aiming for at least 5 nights a week. I hate feeling the way I have been feeling about myself.

Thanks for being the kind gentle soul that you are. I wish there were more people in the world like you.

:loveya:

[MissMillie]

114. AWWWWW... what a nice thing to say!

I'm looking forward to meeting you next month.

[SOteric]

111. Alrighty then.

[progmom]

113. SOteric!

She of the smiley fetish and beautiful photography!!

JJ tells me you're the cat's meow - who am I to argue with that? I love reading what you have to say, and thank you for all the times you have made me laugh out loud.

:hi:

[Tesibria]

115. Hiya

Always love reading your posts - and this is a great "freebie" :)

[progmom]

116. Good morning Tesibria!

A lovely woman with a big heart and a really admirable perspective on life. Thanks for being here. :loveya:

[Tesibria]

117. aw thanx - i'm addicted

used to do internet chat ... discovered this place last fall, and it's ruined me, I tell you RUINED me for all other ... "places." There's no where else I've found ... like here -- for intelligent conversation. I mean, "even" the LOUNGE is full of hilarious, brilliant, and fun people.

So -- I'm addicted. It's one of the FEW addictions worth having in my view

(another one being, of course, addicted to books ;-).)

[Aristus]

118. Hi, progmom. I've missed you these last few days.

Easter; family activities, you know.

:hi:

[progmom]

119. Aristus! My buddy!

I love you, man.
Fo' shizzle, ma dizzle.

:loveya:

[Aristus]

120. Aw shucks!

Love you right back, progmom! :loveya:

BTW, ever thought about spelling your user name 'Prague Maugham'? Just asking! :D

[RetroLounge]

122. Fire away...

:hi:

RL

[Left Is Write]

123. Did I do this yet?

Old folks like me are sometimes forgetful.

[Steve Nash is god 13]

124. PROGMOM DID NOT SAY SOMETHING NICE TO ME!!!!!!
