Ah, geez, now, come on, please don't do this to me, OK?

[Redstone]

Curiosity just makes me NUTS, and with the hearts being anonymous...

Not that I don't appreciate seeing that someone thinks I'm worth five bucks. It's genuinely flattering, and quite touching. I really appreciate it, I do.

But I have Mrs R. There are many DUers who don't have someone like that, and could use that heart-warming little heart a LOT more than I could.

And give them a star if they need one while you're at it, OK?

Again, not that I don't appreciate it, because I do. You can bet on that; you guys are the best friends I could ever ask for.

1. I was shocked to get one myself.

I didn't realize there was a DUer with such bad taste in men.

[Taverner]

2. It's not necesarrily a romantic heart

Could be more of the phileo type of love...brotherly (or sisterly) love.

[AlCzervik]

3. yup, i donated one to someone i don't know and i have no idea if they are male

or female.

[Redstone]

4. Oh, I understand that. I hope my post didn't indicate otherwise. I mentioned Mrs R not because

of the romantic aspect, but because she's my backstop in life.

5. Not listening, are you? Just going to drive me BATS with curiosity, yes?

Thank you, then. I'm indeed flattered and touched.

[merh]

12. Yeah, what the Rev said.

Of course, you know

:hi:

[Redstone]

19. If I weren't happily married, I just might have been on the road south to propose to

you, after reading that.

Redstone

[merh]

22. Awww, that is the sweetest thing to say.

That MrsR is one lucky lady. Of course, you are blessed to have her love, so you two do make the perfect couple and I don't mess with perfection. :)

:hug: :loveya:

[Redstone]

23. And of course you wouldn't. That's one of the characteristics you have that make you

such a treasure. And I am by a MILE not the only DUer who feels that way about you.

[RevCheesehead]

6. Hell, *I'd* pay $5 for you....

except I'm too damned cheap. :hi::loveya:

[Redstone]

8. Rev... REV! How good to hear from you!

How's every little old thing been for you lately?

I've missed your presence in this place.

Redstone

[RevCheesehead]

10. Hi, darlin'!

Here's a virtual valentine for ya: :loveya:

[Redstone]

24. Rev, talk to me. How's life been for you lately?

Redstone

[RevCheesehead]

29. Check your PM,

you heart-fiend! :)

[flvegan]

7. Good post, sir.

Very selfless.

Curiosity makes me nuts, too. I'd donate just to find out who was kind enough (or disillusioned enough) to give me a heart.

[Redstone]

9. I shouldn't have said anything. Now they're going to do it just to torture me with curiosity.

Redstone

[Briarius]

11. I agree about the curiosity!

I'm trying to ignore it, since LynzM swore it wasn't her

[Redstone]

17. It might just NOT be Lynz. Lots of them wimmen go for the TD&H types.

Redstone

[Briarius]

25. So I hear...

:evilgrin:

[Redstone]

27. Someone else heard, too, I see. You racked up another one in the interim.

Redstone

[KitchenWitch]

13. I only know for sure who the donor of one of my hearts is

I am guessing that donor gave you one of yours as well.

[Redstone]

16. Yes, someone who has a large collection of them herself, and deservedly so.

Redstone

[KitchenWitch]

18. Yes, she deserves every single one, too!

:hi:

[Redstone]

20. Absolutely.

As do you.

14. Don't look at me, I'm in recovery for being a christmas present peeker

I decided to divide my choices this way

(1. A newbie
(2. Somebody who lost a loved one recently
(3. Somebody else who is having a baby and I love babies
(4. Somebody who consistently posts with integrity who did not have so much as one heart
(5. Someone else who posted an especially thoughtful post

Beats me why anyone gave me any but I like em'!

[Redstone]

28. Excellent priorities! Very well-thought-out.

We'd all do well to follow your guidelines.

Redstone

[Redstone]

15. So why is this thread still on the first page of the Lounge, two days later? I know what

it is: You guys know I can't stand mysteries, and you're just torturing me for the fun of it.

And I appreciate it. You all know that. I've had better nights than tonight, and those little red thingies are cheerful, they are.

Redstone

[lost-in-nj]

21. Well I was going to

send you a heart. I just donated so I am waiting my instructions. :)
After this post I will send some to... I will keep this private....
Redstone (((((hugs))))) how are you and how is it going?
I am TRYING to quit smoking using Wellbutrin and cutting back,,,,
I went from a 2 pack a day habit to LESS than one pack. I am gradually eliminating
cigarettes from my day
WISH ME LUCK!!!!!

[Redstone]

26. I'll wish you all the luck I can. God damn, it's good to hear from you.

It's been a while.

Glad you're getting rid of the smokes. Some day, I'll do the same.

Since you asked, the struggle continues, but I've had more good days than bad over the last couple of weeks. For me, that's a significant victory.

And tonight, I'm happy, because I've heard from you, and a few other important people. Friends are everything, and hearing from good ones after an absence is a blessing. So I'm happy.
