Edited on Mon Feb-13-06 02:29 AM by Carla in Ca
Hope all is well with you. We are finally back to normal. The power is on and the fire is out. Whew! What a frantic few weeks. Thanks again for your concern, it really meant a lot.

Edit to add

Thank you to whoever gave me a heart. I love you guys!

:hi: So good to see you--I'm SO glad you and yours are well! I was worried having heard how close all the insanity was to you.

Let's hope that things will be mellow for here on out! :pals::hug:

15. It is a good idea,
and I've enjoyed reading all of the delighted responses from those who have gotten them. I'm one of those almost invisible people who don't make much of an impression on people, but then again, when I was a little girl, if I could have been given any super power, it would have been invisibility! It is a good idea, and congrats to all, and to Skinner for the idea!

16. I have enjoyed reading the responses too but I can't help but
wonder how many of us might feel like the last kid picked for the team if we don't get one or get to give one?


Now, where did I put that pouting smilie?

26. Well, I really was serious
I used to think that being invisible would be the coolest thing I could think of. My brothers wanted all kinds of other super powers, but being invisible? Hey, that would have been wonderful. Actually, I wouldn't mind having that power now. Can you imagine me sneaking into the WH, and listening in on Bush, Rove, and Cheney? Wow!!!!!!!!! Can you believe, I'll be 63 soon, and I'm still thinking like a kid who read Marvel comics way back when. Hmmm...second childhood, I guess.

If only so I could walk into the girls' locker room and "browse." :evilgrin:

61. Well, I',m pushing 57 and I don't see a DAMN thing wrong with it!
... and as to what I would do with a superpower, well, with superspeed (or invisibility), I could steal all the incriminating documents, copy them, then make sure that ALL the nets and the blogs got 'em ALL AT once!!!

...but I noticed that as soon as I donated, I got another heart. Methinks Skinner is handing them out to donors.

anything like their daddy.

Kurvoskite? Sounds like a skin disorder.

40. Great fundraising idea, reminds me of those "telegram" valentines
in High School. I don't know which two DU friends purchased my two hearts, but I am so pleased and touched that they did!

THANK YOU, Secret Admirers! It's so lovely to be "admired"!

41. I just got on and discovered that I already had two hearts.
:blush:

I don't know who gave them to me, so I had to go and give 'em to a couple other people. I think you do get one when you donate, because I have 3 now.

I bet this generates alot more donations that having Grovelbot appear in everyone's avatar did.
