There are so many interesting people here!

[southlandshari]

A few of them I know, many of them I still don't know very well. Tonight I met samplegirl, she of the beautiful smile on the latest "post your pic" thread. What a cool woman! I don't know why our paths haven't crossed before.

A toast to friends I know, and those I have not yet met!

:toast:

[KitchenWitch]

[JimmyJazz]

4. A toast to sample girl, seabisquit, jukes, smiley boy, Miss_Kitty

and many, many others who contribute soooo much to DU and to the lounge, but who don't get the "applause" on a day to day basis that they so richly deserve. :applause: You are loved and you are appreciated.

Long live DU and its heart, the Lounge!

I'll drink to that!

Where have you been? The lounge is NOT the same since you decided to abandon us :cry:

[elshiva]

22. Thanks, JimmyJazz. Been preoccupied with my lovey

so don't get here as often. I always miss you JimmyJazz.

I always think of you great DUers as my brothers and sisters and remember you in prayer. :grouphug:

[Heidi]

31. I'm missing some DUers lately, though:

aunt_Agonist
Steve2470
gmoney

Where are they? :shrug: Ya'll add to the list.

[JimmyJazz]

32. jukes, mark414, name not needed, Kleeb,

wat_tyler, placebo, smiley boy...there are others.

[billyskank]

46. And tjwmason

He is absent without leave! I may have to ask khashka to email him and kick his arse!

[khashka]

58. Just for you billy....

I just heard from TJ. All is well. He's not abandoning his friends . I don't know exactly what the deal is.... but he does have other obligations (work, family, attending the opera, throwing a hissy fit, everyday stuff like that... so I'm cutting him some slack).

Khash.
(But what is this concern about him? I thought it was ME you had the crush on? I guess it's just my fate to be second best.....)

[billyskank]

61. ...

:loveya:

[swimboy]

71. Thanks for the news.

If you talk to him again, please let him know swimboy has an opera he wants to tell him about. ;(

And now, please feel free to bask in some swimboy lovevibes. :loveya:

[khashka]

73. I will talk to him again and I will let him know

Khash.

(Although hooking my "boyfriend" up with someone else he's interested in hardly seems like a good move. But I am infinitely adaptable)

[swimboy]

92. Very kind of you.

Thank you for your infinite adaptability. Your kindness will be rewarded some day.

In the meantime, I have some new pictures in the latest long picture thread. I enjoyed seeing yours the other day. See you later. :hug:

[gmoney]

93. I'm here... more or less.

Thanks for thinking of me Heidi... been pursuing pursuits for a change. :) I'll drop you a PM before long...

:hug: Heidi :hug:

[Texasgal]

33. Awww shucks!

I'm just a dull, boring TEXASGAL!!!! :P

We love you SHARI!!!! :cheers: to the best MOD EVER!!!!

[southlandshari]

36. You? Boring?

:rofl:

Not even close!

I knew all I need to know about how cool and interesting you are when we crossed paths on a certain nostalgic thread. If Casey Casum was still on AT40, I would send you a long distance dedication to express my love for you. Since that is not possible, settle for this sneak preview of what I plan to give you for Fitzmas!

[samplegirl]

34. If we were to take a D.U. vote

Southlandshari would win for most friendly.
Some people take it step further than just replying
to a post....they actually want to know you.
So heres to you Shari :toast:
I think your wonderful!!!

[southlandshari]

37. There she is!!!

:woohoo:

Samplegirl is in the house!

And posting on MY thread!

:pals:

[samplegirl]

41. sample should be in

bed but what the hell its Friday night!
:eyes:

[DanCa]

38. People here are just outstanding.

I couldn't have gone thru my Nov depression without you guys and gals.

[southlandshari]

49. Hi there, Dan!

I didn't even know there was a new Johnny Cash movie until I saw this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4222820

I plan to take my father to see it when it comes here. Thanks for the heads up!

:hi:

[Az]

39. You did mean that inclusively .... right?

Cuz you kinda interesting yourself.

[southlandshari]

43. I'll let you be the judge of that.

Especially after that post!

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

40. There sure are!

And you are one of the most interesting!! :toast:

[southlandshari]

48. Thank you!

The feeling is completely mutual!

:hug:

[Peter Frank]

42. Would you like to come up to my flat...

...& see my etchings of other strangers???

[southlandshari]

52. Um....

I don't know? Do I?

[u4ic]

44. I cannot tell you HOW many times

reading DU has cheered me up on a lousy day.

What humour! What wit! Hell, even what cheese!

Of course, I can't forget to mention the smartest, the most interesting, and the most compassionate people on any forum.

Here's to DU! And all who sail in her!! :bounce: :toast: :bounce:

[southlandshari]

53. I feel exactly the same way!

We have much in common, darlin'. I love Rockets, too - though down here, we call 'em Smarties!



Nice to meet you on this thread!

:hi:

[u4ic]

77. Howdy-doo, southlandshari!

:hi:

Read my first post's second line again. It definitely pertains to you. Your 'locking' ditties never fail to make me laugh. :D

[terrya]

50. I'll agree with that....and you are one of the most interesting, sweetie!

I wish I was around last night when you posted this....I went to bed pretty early.

But, here at 7:54AM Saturday, I'll offer my toast to the friends I know...most definitely including you, Shari...and the ones I haven't met yet!

:toast:

[southlandshari]

51. Terry!!!

Awwww...so happy to see you this morning!

I miss you!!

Anyone who doesn't know you are one of the most interesting and wonderful DUers around is missing out!

:hug:

[IntravenousDemilo]

79. I'll second that!

And I'll bet there's not a DUer who knows Terry as well as I do, except maybe himself.

[NMDemDist2]

54. bah!

x(

ring ring ring

[southlandshari]

55. Now THERE is an interesting person

I do know very well!

And I love her, too!

:hug:

[NMDemDist2]

Thanks for the Smarties (TM), Shari! :loveya:

:toast:

[khashka]

60. I would mention lots of people, but

I noticed that no one mentioned me! So I'm not mentioning any of you! So there!


Khash The Unloved.

[swimboy]

69. Only because I mentioned no-one at all.

You know you are on my list. High on my list.

[billyskank]

62. I don't drink, but here's a toast to you anyway!

To think I only recently got to know you! :toast:

:loveya: :hug:

[crispini]

Shari Perry

[lizziegrace]

72. I dare you

to let me kill this thread. I'm good at it! :evilgrin:

Shari, I miss the south and moonpies and RC Cola. Now I'll have to go out and find someplace that has them!

[southlandshari]

74. No Alabama DUer

Can kill a thread of mine!

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

75. Well bless your heart!

I went out and found me a moonpie this evening.

[liberaltrucker]

76. Introduce yourself to goodboy

if you haven't already. He had a helluva good call to Randi Rhodes earlier this week. Did DU proud:toast:

[Ladyhawk]

78. I totally agree. People here are so clever and funny.

It's wonderful to actually encounter thinking people for a change. :)

[merh]

80. Hey ya shari!

I couldn't agree with you more, there are some wonderfully interesting people that post here. I join you in the toast to friends I know and those I have yet to met! :toast: :beer:

I am grateful for all the support and love that DU has given to me. :grouphug:

But some of us just can't help it!

:rofl:

[GreenPartyVoter]

83. Yeah. :^D I am always amazed at how many people here I meet for the first

time who are also old timers. How do we manage to not connect at some point if we practically live here, y'know? *g*

[Hardrada]

86. Very true.

[obxhead]

89. Hi southlandshari

Allow me to (shamelessly) introduce myself.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4226219&mesg_id=4226219

[enigmatic]

90. not me

I'm the most boring guy I know, next to Wetzel, of course;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

91. Give me a break, my dear enigmatic!

You are NOT boring, and neither is Wetzelbill......Good grief!

You both are fascinating, intelligent and fun guys to be around...

And THAT'S the truth!
