I just want to say.....to all my very dear Lounge friends.......

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I truly appreciate all the very funny crazy threads about me today.....

I have always suffered from low self-esteem, and these threads go a very long way to dispell that!

Remember.....I love you all!

[BikeWriter]

1. Sweety, you deserve the attention.

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear BikeWriter!

You are a true friend, and one fine day I hope we can meet.....

I have so much respect and admiration for you......:hug:

[BikeWriter]

11. Thank you, Dear. I'm a wreck now,...

but I have done some good in this world. I'm grateful I had the chance.

[REDKING]

2. God woman you are loved on here.....

and I can see why.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear Rory......

I thank you so much, sweetheart....You are a terrific young man!

You make me smile, always.....Stay gold!

:hug:

[REDKING]

7. A pleasure as always Peggy.

[MadHound]

3. I know that you and I haven't conversed much

But I read a lot here in the Lounge(taking breaks from GD), and I've never seen any reason why you should have a low self esteem. You are an attractive woman, inside and out, who is intelligent and compassionate. I just don't get it. Besides, you're fun, funny and cuss:woohoo:!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear MadHound......

I thank you so much.....my low self-esteem dates from my childhood....

And as you most likely know, issues that date from that far back are very hard to shake!

Your compliments mean a great deal to me!

:hug:

[Aristus]

5. My dear CaliforniaPeggy...

We adore you here, you know that; me most of all! :loveya::grouphug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear Aristus!

I know you do, and I adore you as well! Such a sweetheart you are......

Your wife is a very lucky lady!

:loveya: :grouphug:

[blue neen]

8. I always enjoy reading your posts.

You seem like a genuinely kind and compassionate person. You're a great part of DU! :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear blue neen......

I thank you so much......it means a great deal to hear all of this!

We all need some positive reinforcement, no matter how old we are.....

Thank you for giving me this great gift today!

:hug:

[billyskank]

9. No F-bomb?

;)

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear billyskank!

Why, anything for you! Now.....fuck it all anyhow! :blush:


You are such a great friend to me.....:loveya:

[madinmaryland]

27. eeeeek! My ears!!!!!

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. My dear madinmaryland!

Uh-huh! Right....your ears, my ass! You make me laugh out loud!

:hug:

[madinmaryland]

29. Egads!!! My ears are burning!!

Help!!!

:blush:

Do you have anymore sunset photos? Didn't you post some a couple of weeks ago? Its pouring buckets of rain here in MD, and I just want to see some sun!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. I'll see if I can dig one up for you......

I don't have any new ones, though....our sunsets just have NOT been very spectacular lately......

I'll be right back! Oh, and you can always check my Journal....I put ALL my pic threads in there.....

Here's an old one, but it is very nice....from last winter sometime!

[blue neen]

57. That's a beautiful picture.

In addition to being kind, you are also talented. :grouphug:

[madinmaryland]

58. WOW. That is awesome!!!!

And here's some for you.....you doll, you! :loveya: :hug: :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[riona]

12. Obviously

there's no reason for you to suffer low self esteem when you're blogging on DU!
:yourock:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear flblu2!

You've got that right! That's just one of the reasons I love it here!

This place has been so good to me, I can scarcely express it!

I live, and love, in the Lounge......

:loveya: :hug:

[bridgit]

13. hey there Peg, how's the weather down there, it's getting hot & central...

valley-esque up here :hi: :hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear bridgit!

Oh, you lucky doll, you!

I wish it were like yours.....our weather is overcast, and slightly drizzly......

We're getting our "June gloom" early! :banghead:


The sun will emerge, briefly, around 3 or 4 pm.....only to disappear an hour or two later!

Sometimes life at the beach isn't all it's cracked up to be!

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. See, Peg...

Sincerity is the most flattering formula... no, wait...



:think:



Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but satire's a very close second. And we're better at satire than flattery.

:hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear Oeditpus Rex!

I am humbled by your attention, sir!

You are one of the shining lights here in the Lounge.....

I love seeing you post........thank you!

:loveya: :hug:

[Hugin]

16. Yay!

:D

This *is* a good day, isn't it?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. My dear Prag!

YES, it is! I am having such a good time here......

Thank you for your contribution to my happiness! I appreciate it.....

:hug:

[miss_american_pie]

18. Peggy

I almost posted a poem with the f-bomb in the title in honor of you today. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear miss_american_pie!

Oh, I wish you had! That would have been too perfect!

Still, it's the thought that counts......:hug:

[maveric]

31. Peggy, you are a GODDESS!

And this board is damn lucky to have aboard!
In spite of the coarse language that you sometimes exhibit.

Love Ya Peg! :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear maveric!

I thank you so much, sweetie, for your generous words!

I do LIKE being called a goddess, for sure!

I can't help the language.....it's part of me too.....

You are a sweetheart, and I love you! :loveya: :hug:

[ghostsofgiants]

33. Peggy, anyone who doesn't brighten up when you're around...

Is probably the kind of person who enjoyed torturing small woodland creatures as a child anyway. :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. My dear primate1!

Yikes, what an image! But I understand just what you're saying.....

And I thank you for it! :hug:

[Mutley]

35. CP, you have no reason whatsoever to have low self-esteem.

You are a wonderful intelligent person who is a joy to be around.

:hug: :hug: :loveya: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. My dear mutley......

Awww, I thank you sooo much, sweetie! Mostly I'm OK....but now and then it rises up and bites me!

NOT today, however! :loveya: :hug:

[Mutley]

38. I know how you feel since I get that way, too.

:hug:

[swimboy]

37. We would carry you on a litter uphill in San Francisco!!!

I'm so glad I have gotten to meet you through DU!

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. My dear swimboy!

Now THAT would be a challenge! I am NOT light, you know!

And I too am glad to have met you here on DU...... :loveya: :hug:

[lizziegrace]

40. Peggy

You are sunshine for me. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear lizziegrace!

I am? Wow, you just made my day, sweetie!

Thank you......:hug:

[lizziegrace]

44. Absolutely

Always kind and compassionate with just enough attitude to keep us on our toes. I look forward to your posts and your threads my dear Peggy!

:)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

42. Back at ya, Peggy!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. My dear Starbucks Anarchist!

Awww....thanks! I love ya! :loveya: :hug:

[Ptah]

45. Love you too, neighbor.

You never fail to brighten my day.

:hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. My dear Ptah!

And you, my dear neighbor, never fail to brighten mine!

I hope your convalescence continues apace!

:loveya: :hug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

46. Hey, I thought for sure that it would say "fuck you" in this thread.

I'm kind of disappointed. :evilfrown:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. My dear Rev_Acts!

Ooooh, I hardly ever say it that way! I prefer the "F" bomb by itself...

Don't mean to disappoint you, though!

But but but I just can't say it.....ESPECIALLY to a very nice person like yourself!

:loveya: :hug:

[LostinVA]

49. You're an UPPITY woman, girlfriend!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. My dear LostinVa!

Takes one to know one, I always say!

You and I have been talking all day, and I'm enjoying it a lot.....

You ever get to California, you must come visit!

:loveya: :hug:

[LostinVA]

54. My SO and I were talking about going to San Diego next Spring

We've been wanting to go for years....

I can't remember if you live in Southern CA or not...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

55. I do live in SoCal!

Let me know when your plans firm up!

:bounce: :bounce:

[LostinVA]

56. Excellent! I just checked, and I saw Manhattan Beach

I know approximately where that is. You can take us surfing...

KIDDING. I'm a poor swimmer.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

51. We love you too.

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. My dear YellowRubberDuckie!

Awwwww......thanks! It means a lot to me, you know!

:loveya: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

53. You know what I feel about you!

:loveya:

And there is no need to respond, since I do know how you feel about me.

I have a best DU friend and it is you baby!

[graywarrior]

59. You don't deserve low self esteem. You totally rock, my friend.

:bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

63. My dear graywarrior!

Oh wow......thank you so much!

And coming from you.....it means a whole heck of a lot, too.....

From the lady with the awesome hair, to me....... :blush:

:loveya: :hug:

[graywarrior]

66. To the lady with the mose awesome eyes!!!

:pals:

[MissB]

60. You are the best, California Peggy.

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

64. My dear missb!

Thank you so much....from the bottom of my heart! I don't deserve it...:hug:

[Haole Girl]

61. You don't strike me as a person who suffers from

low self-esteem at all. In fact, I admire your openness and courage.
Thank you for being you! :pals:

In fact, I'm going to add you as a buddy, even though I don't know what that does (and, I've never added one before)! :shrug:

Now...where did I see that function......?

[Haole Girl]

62. Oh darn, I can't do that until I donate!

Now I have to go figure out how to do that!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

65. My dear KC2!

Your words overwhelm me! Thank you so much, sweetie.....:loveya: :pals:

[philosophie_en_rose]

67. Low Self Esteem is something to be proud of!

:P

seriously, it's a sign of a deep thinker. Just look at "decidererers" with unwarranted high self esteem.

:hugs:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

70. My dear philosophie_en_rose!

Ah, how your words touch me.....thank you!

I hadn't actually ever thought of it quite that way.......

Amazing! :hug: :loveya:

[wildhorses]

68. I keep thinking about starting one that says:

CalPeg for President



















one of these days:evilgrin:



















:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

71. My dear wildhorses........

Sweetie.....you know that I love you.....

This campaign of yours touches me to my very core!

Blessings on you..... :hug:

[Redstone]

69. What, were people saying nice things about you?

Good.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

73. My dear Redstone!

Yes, several days ago, there were some very nice threads all about me...

And I felt compelled to start this one, in order to properly thank all those terrific people....

And I thank you for your contribution, as well, my dear! :hug: :loveya:

[Redstone]

75. You're welcome.

And deservedly so.

Redstone

[mac56]

72. Whenever I see your name on a thread...

I always know it will make me smile.

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

74. My dear mac56!

That is awfully sweet of you to say to me.....

I've had some serious threads too......even those?

Blessings on you.......and thank you too..... :loveya:

I am simply overwhelmed by all the love in the Lounge for me......

[mac56]

76. I gotta confess, I don't remember the serious ones as well.

But they're always thoughtful and well reasoned. And the ones I remember best boost my spirits.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

77. I am so glad that I have been able to do that.....

I've put some of my serious ones in my Journal......

And these days, I'm also putting all of my pic threads there as well...

[u4ic]

78. Peggy....it's so hard to believe

you have low self esteem.

You are the brightest star on DU! :hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

79. My dear u4ic!

Well, what can I say? Somedays I really don't think much of myself....

I look around at my political friends, who go to more meetings, and who are waaay more involved in campaigns, and who just plain KNOW more than I ever will.....

And I think, what am I doing with my time, with myself?

And then I think, well, I am doing what I want to do: take pictures, write stories, and POST!

So there's a glimpse into the chaos of my mind!

But I thank you so much for your very kind words....they truly resonate with me!

:loveya: :hug:

[u4ic]

81. What are you doing with your time?

You're making our lives just a little bit brighter...:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

83. It is my gift to give you......

I am so fortunate to be able to do this, and to such an appreciative audience.....:loveya:

[Whoa_Nelly]

80. You? Low-self -esteem??

Your total love and support has lifted me innumerable times, dear Peggy! :hug: :loveya: :pals: :hi:





You are a very sincere, open and giving person :loveya:

And because you're so awesome, here are some Love Flowers for you!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

82. My dear Whoa_Nelly!

Oh my dear girl........thank you so much......the flowers are wonderful, and so are your sentiments!

It is my profound privilege to have lifted your spirits all those times!

And now your generosity has lifted mine.....:loveya: :hug:

[Rowdyboy]

84. You seem to be the most self-confident person imagineable....I can't

imagine anyone not loving you. However, in my experience, many very special people are unable to recognize how loved they really are. I don't know your personal life situation, but I can guarantee, you are ADORED by many, many people on DU. Don't ever let self-doubt cripple you. You deserve far better.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

85. My dear Rowdyboy!

How very kind of you ......

Well, this is something I've had all my life...and it can cripple you...

But I must say that being friends with so many wonderful people here in the Lounge has truly diminished any such feelings!

I know I have many people here who love me, and I am in awe of this fact...

I appreciate your sentiments a great deal, almost more than I can express...:loveya:

[Random_Australian]

86. Moo! I like parsley, AND I think you are awesome... pretty complex huh?

;)

Seriously, you good.

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

88. My dear Random_Australian........

Hmmm! Now here we have quite a combo! Moo...parsley and awesome! VERY complex, my dear!

Thanks.......you good too! :loveya:

[Random_Australian]

91. I got a bigger loveya up my sleeve!

87. You seem so wonderful...

it's difficult to imagine that you suffer from low self-esteem. Here ya go...:hug::puffpiece:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

89. My dear GoddessOFGuinness!

Thank you so much, sweetie......I feel much better now!

:loveya: :hug:

[Skittles]

90. LOW self-esteem Peggy? YOU?

I WILL KICK YOUR ASS; you are one of THE most ESTEEMED-DUers!!! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

95. My dear SKITTLES!

Thank you, sweetie! I'm amazed at your response......I had no idea you held me in such high regard......

It means a great deal to me!

:hi: :pals:

[Skittles]

97. My dear leftofthedial.......

How lovely of you to show up in my thread.....I thank you!

I have waaaaaay too much love today to be dropping any *F* bombs!

:loveya:

[Robeson]

93. Hey Peg, ....

...Just landed in the Lounge, and haven't had a chance to check the threads out yet. But the fact that I came right to yours, should let you know, you are 'da bomb...:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

98. My dear Robeson.....

How can I adequately thank you?

Well, I can't! But still, I want to try, sweetie.......

Blessings on you! :loveya:

[AussieDave]

94. Heya Peggy - I posted this at the "Create your own Law and Order"

thread - I thought it was pretty good anyway. Now you have your own posse !!!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

99. My dear AussieDave!

WOW! What an incredible sign! THANK YOU! My own posse......Think of the possibilities!

You are a doll......:loveya: :hug:

[yvr girl]

96. Peggy, we all love you

How could we not?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

100. My dear yvr girl!

Well.....I don't know! NOT everyone does.....but that's to be expected....

I thank you for your love, and for your friendship too.....:loveya:
