I only need five more posts to break out of the 700 Club! Who

[CaliforniaPeggy]

will come to my help?

[KitchenWitch]

1. Where in CA are you?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Hi, KitchenWitch,

I live in SoCal, in the little town of Manhattan Beach, which lies on the Santa Monica Bay. We are just south of LAX. It is beautiful here!

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

8. In Laws live in Orange County

near the Orange County airport!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Your in-laws are south of me...

That airport is probably the John Wayne Airport. And believe it or not, there are progressive types down there. More than there used to be...!

[KitchenWitch]

15. Yes and they are progressives themselves

even though the Orange County Register is a notorious conservative rag...They subscribe to the LA Times!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Good for them! The LA Times is turning into a pretty good paper,

IMHO. They've won some Pulitzers for hard reporting. They did a series on Wal*Mart that got my blood boiling...BTW.

Thank you for helping put me OVER THE TOP!

:loveya:

[yvr girl]

2. I'm here for you

You can tell me how wonderful I am. I know you want to.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Hmmm, yvr girl,

I'm not sure "wonderful" is the correct word! However, you are a lovely and charming young lady, and I do enjoy talking with you! How's that? I am sooo glad you're here for me! And you know I'm here for you, too, don't you?



:loveya:

[yvr girl]

7. I'm not wonderful?

Are you saying my mom lied to me? :cry:

I think you're my favourite person from California, and that includes a whole whack of crazy relatives.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Oh no, yvr girl, your mom didn't lie!

I'm sure you're a wonderful daughter! I thank you from the bottom of my liberal heart for the lovely compliment! Do you ever visit in SoCal? Any of your crazy relatives down here? Come visit...We'd have a blast...

:loveya:

:hug:

[yvr girl]

17. They're mostly in and around San Francisco

I think the fog has effected their brains. Some of them are really quite looney.

I have spent lots of good times in California though.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Ahhh, San Francisco, the beautiful city by the Golden Gate!

It's one of my favorite cities...I grew up (mostly) in San Jose, and a trip to SF was a BIG TREAT! I always said I wanted to live there, after the BIG ONE! But since my husband and I have built our own home here in SoCal, we won't be doing that...Sorry your relatives are so looney...

:hug:

[elshiva]

4. Is your real name Peggy?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Hi, elshiva,

Yes, Peggy is my real name. However, it is NOT my legal name! That is Margaret...Nicknames suck, IMHO. But everybody calls me Peggy, and I like it!

:thumbsup:

[elshiva]

9. Didja know that Joe Lieberman is comin' to Bawlmer?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. He's coming to Bawlmer?

Uhhh, where is that?

:shrug:

[elshiva]

25. Congrats! 800 posts!

:toast:
Bawlmer is Baltimore in the native dialect. He coming to talk at my alma mater for free, so Ima gonna go ya'll.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. I appreciate your congratulations!

Have fun hearing Sen.Lieberman! That should truly be interesting...Wonder what he'll be talking about?

:hi:

[elshiva]

27. Dunno, probably foreign policy or something.

It was just called "A Conversation with Joe Lieberman," so I think it will be open to a lot of questions, which will be cool. What are your questions for Joe?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My question is most likely impolite! But ask it if you like:

When is dear Joe going to make it official, and become a card-carrying Republican?

[elshiva]

31. Bwhahahahah!

Yes! I actually was waiting for him to come out at the DNC 2004 and I kept prompting him by saying, "Ah sorry, friends, but I'm a Republican."

[ralps]

11. Congratulations CaliforniaPeggy on getting out of the 700 club

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :toast: :woohoo:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. THANK YOU SO MUCH, DEAR RALPS!

I knew I could count on you guys to help out! DU'ers are THE BEST!

:grouphug:

:loveya:

[texas1928]

14. you are out of the 700 club

wow that was fast.

I never knew I was in the 700 club.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Thank you, texas1928!

Yeah, it was fast, wasn't it? Less than a week! I guess I'm a serious poster...Either that, or a frivolous one...

Believe me, dear boy, you WERE in the 700 club, since you have to pass 700 to get to 1000plus...! I'm looking forward to those exalted heights, BTW.




:hug:


:loveya:

[texas1928]

20. Took me awhile to get here.

But I took breaks once in awhile.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. No problem. We all need breaks.

I was hoping you'd notice my cry for help, lol! It makes me feel a part of this great community of DU when my friends show up!



:pals:

:loveya:

[pansypoo53219]

23. pfft

i did it the honest way. commenting my ass off and got out as quick as a bunny.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. *ahem* are you accusing me of dishonesty?

I BEG your pardon! lol And I think that doing it in LESS than a week is rather quick, IMHO!

:sarcasm:

:hi:

[texas1928]

28. Well one person on here did it in one night.

It was a new record.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. 700 Posts in ONE NIGHT?

Somehow I doubt that! You are pulling my leg, aren't you? I feel this strong tug from the southeast quadrant! lol

:rofl:

[texas1928]

32. not 700 posts.

they went from 700 to 800 in one night.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. Sorry, I misunderstood you!

Oh well, 100 posts in one night, that I can believe! If you have a lot of friends and a hot topic, that would certainly be possible. Talk about missed communication!

:hi:

:pals:

[texas1928]

35. here is the kicker

it was all done in one thread.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. WOW nt

[ffm172]

34. looks like a lot came to your help

you're good into the 800's now. Better feeling, huh?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. Hey there, my German friend!

I wondered if you'd be coming by for a chat tonight! er, I mean morning! I keep forgetting you're 8 hours ahead of us! You are so right, I had a lot of help tonight...I felt a little silly, asking for help when all I needed was 5 more posts. But this is a very fun way to accomplish what I wanted to do. I guess I must not be on too many people's ignore lists!

It's lovely to be in the 800's! A very good feeling, indeed...How was your long weekend? You went to see your Aunt, didn't you? How was that? Stay in touch! I love hearing from you!

:grouphug:

:loveya:

[Freebird12004]

38. G'morning California Peggy ~Wow a week in the 700 Club

Was it scary?

:spray: Hope ya didn't drink anything strange while in the club ?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. Thanks, Freebird12004,

Nah, a week in the 700 Club didn't scare me too much, lol! I rather enjoyed my stay. Still, I'm glad to be on to bigger and better things! Um, I don't think I drank anything strange...Why do you ask? Do I *uh* look funny?

:wtf:

:hi:

[NV Whino]

40. Hi Peggy

Onward and upward. :hi:
