To all my dear friends!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I want you to know that waving, saying "my dear" and all that stuff, comes naturally to me...

Being friendly makes me happy!

And please always remember:

I love you all...

[Richard Steele]

7. The world needs more folks like you...

...to balance out all of us curmudgeonly grumpybutts! :hi: :hug:

[NewJeffCT]

10. Agreed on the world needing more CaliforniaPeggys!

she's a great asset to DU.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear NewJeffCT!

And you're another sweetheart!

Kinda quiet, but that's good too...:hug:

[NewJeffCT]

18. quiet?

I've made over 20,000 posts in my DU career. I can't be too quiet?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Allow me to clarify!

I didn't mean you don't post!

What I meant is that you don't make a big fuss about stuff...

You don't quarrel...

You are nice, and have good pictures of your family...

No drama is what I meant!

Sorry... :blush:

[NewJeffCT]

27. I know

just giving you a hard time. I truly believe what I have in my sig line - "I'm not a member of an organized political party, I'm a Democrat" - so try not to get too upset when people start firing away.

I prefer to be a lover & not a fighter.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear dicksteele!

You are not a curmudgeonly grumpybutt! You too are a sweetheart, and SO THERE!

Thanks.....

26. My dear rug...

Wow...thank you!

I wouldn't make a very good nun, though...

Too many carnal thoughts!

That's awfully sweet of you...:hug:

[ghostsofgiants]

28. "Being friendly makes me happy!"

I think the world would be a much better place if more people realized how good being friendly feels.

I might not be the friendliest person ever, but I like to think I am pretty friendly. I don't think they get much friendlier then you though, Peggy. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear primate1!

I think you're right!

And you're perfectly friendly...

I always enjoy seeing you post, even if I don't chime in!

Thanks, sweetie!

We naturally nice folks (if I may be so bold as to include myself in those numbers) have got to stick together. And that's a fact.

:loveya: :grouphug: :loveya:

Thanks for vibes earlier in the week. And thanks for all the vibing you've done while you've been here. Keeping on smiling.

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. My dear darkstar!

Of course, we must include you!

You're welcome, sweetie...

I smile as much as possible!

One of my dear friends here told me once that I should always be smiling...

It's the way I want to be...

I have missed you...

It's so good to see you tonight!

:hug:

[bigwillq]

43. I love how you're so happy and friendly all the time.

Being nice is so much harder, but better, than being mean. I am glad you see the positive. :hi: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. My dear bigwillq...

I can be mean, believe me...

Just not here...

But I love being positive!

It's usually the easiest way for me... :hug:

[Gonzo Gardener]

46. Peggy, you hold the reigns of the DU Lounge 'Welcome Wagon'.

I imagine that you are the kind soul who sets a basket of muffins on a new neighbors stoop...

or, like a friend who always has the kettle on for tea and the time to listen. You were the

first to extend the hand of friendship to me. Thank you for that, it feels more like a real

place with real people because of YOU! Most of all, I like the "My dears...". It

feels warm, like, a big hug from Mom.

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

53. My dear Green Meanie!

Oh, WOW!

Thank you so much, sweetie...

I am blushing...:blush:

This is a very real place....and I am truly a real person...

And this real person is very moved by your kindness tonight...

:hug:

I have always considered it your personal style - part of what makes you California Peggy. And I appreciate it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

81. Of course it does, my dear Freedom Knight!

Welcome to DU!

You have found the Lounge, which is the living, beating heart of DU...

But be careful!

This place is extremely addictive!

:hi:

[Freedom Knight]

82. I find that it is not as heated as the General Discussion Area.

Do they always go at each other that way?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

83. That is typical over there...

But especially since we're in Primary season now...

It should settle down, once our candidate is chosen!


I'd PM you, but you don't have enough posts yet...

I'm curious as to why your profile is turned off...

[Freedom Knight]

84. I am a very private person. Like to keep thinks to myself and all that.n/t

[CaliforniaPeggy]

85. That's cool...I understand...nt

[Sannum]

86. Love ya, Peggy!

I don't post as often as I would like anymore, but when I lurk I always enjoy seeing you around!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

87. My dear Sannum!

Well, I thought I hadn't seen you in a while, sweetie!

Glad you enjoy seeing me...

Thanks...

Love ya too!

[ThomCat]

97. I really thought I had posted on this thread this morning

when I first saw it. :dunce:

I guess I must have been distracted by... I dunno... maybe work or something. :P

Hi Peggy! :hi:

Isn't that why we're all in the lounge? I think all us (even the ones of us who don't get along) mostly like being social. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

100. My dear ThomCat!

Sometimes when we post a lot, we forget just where we've been!

I think you're right about those of us who frequent the Lounge...

It's a very social place!

:hug:

[DarkTirade]

98. Aww.

I'd wave back but I don't know if you'd be able to see it all the way over there in CA... :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

101. My dear DarkTirade!

Thanks, sweetie!

Go on, give it a try!

I'm sure you'll see this: :hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

113. My dear yvr girl!

How lovely to see you tonight, sweetie!

I have really missed seeing you post the way you used to...

Nobody said it wasn't natural, BTW...

I thank you so much, my dear friend...
