*****Elshiva Appreciation Thread********

[LeftyFingerPop]

I'll be serious for once in the lounge. I have been chatting with Elshiva for a few years now.

I find her to be charming, witty, and beautiful.

She ALWAYS has a kind word for people.

Please, give it up for Elshiva and show your appreciation for a great DUer.

Thank you, Elshiva...I am glad you are here.

:grouphug: :grouphug: :loveya:

[elshiva]

1. Thank you, honey. But I am worried this is going to become

a flamefest. :hide:

[LeftyFingerPop]

2. No it won't sweetie...people love you.

[Texasgal]

3. Why?

Why would this thread become flamey?

[Rising Phoenix]

22. love ya hon

[BuelahWitch]

4. One of my favorite DUers!

Everything LFP said x100. She always has a kind word for me and most that I've seen here. :loveya:

[elshiva]

BuelahWitch, you are one amazing person.

:hug: :loveya: Lovely broom, too.

[madinmaryland]

5. +(44+6) Please stay and be the Elshiva that we have gotten to know

and love!

:hug:

[elshiva]

7. Thanks. What does 44+6 mean?

:hug: :hug:

[madinmaryland]

38. Sorry about that. After Skinner's message, it is not appropriate.

Has to do with a football game between Dallas and Philadelphia last December that Dallas lost. Just convoluted that I am now removing.

[elshiva]

52. You don't have to apologize. Thank you for telling me what it means.

I saw it around. :hug:

[madinmaryland]

54. You hanging in there?

:hug:

[elshiva]

57. Yes, I am thank you.

My boobies are hanging out there. :hug:

[madinmaryland]

60. The power of the boobs!

An instant distraction to any man!

:rofl:

[elshiva]

66. INDEED!

[S n o w b a l l]

6. I love Elshiva!

:loveya:

Kind, sensitive, intelligent, beautiful heart and soul. A very special person indeed.

:hug:

[Nicole Lambeth]

8. we love elshiva

For all the kind words, and on DU of all places - where it is sometimes next to impossible to keep a civil tongue. You are one of my favorite lounge sweeties. We lurves you, promise! :grouphug:

[elshiva]

10. Thanks, Nicole.

I loves you, too. Just another excuse to post this:

[Nicole Lambeth]

14. you're welcome, sweetie

With all the nice things you say to people, remember to shower yourself with some of that TLC too. You deserve it!

And that pic is great - but it doesn't look like they're putting any real heart into it! What a shame. If I got to kiss men that gorgeous, well...that's not lounge material. Ahem.

[elshiva]

15. How about this?

or

[Nicole Lambeth]

18. MUCH better!

[elshiva]

21. Thank you, I love that man so much. He's a sweetie.

[BlueIris]

9. ALL HAIL ELSHIVA. She is a great lady and a class act. nt

[leeroysphitz]

11. elshiva is fun as hell to flirt with.

She has excellent taste in sci fi and has the ability to let people down easy when things don't go as hoped for...


I, therefore appreciate elshiva.

[elshiva]

12. Thanks, leeroysphitz, you are sexy. I wished I could ride

your snake, but I respect the fact that you are married. :hug: :loveya: :*
We had a little too much to drink, sorry...

[Madrone]

13. Agreed.

She's wonderful. And stronger and more influential than she gives herself credit for. I remember when she was having an internal struggle with religion and while I suspect she doesn't think so.... she was very courageous during that ordeal.

[elshiva]

16. Thanks, Madrone. I'm an atheist now.

:hug: :hug:

[Madrone]

19. I know.

(I've noticed in statements you've made)

I remember how difficult trying to reconcile your faith was for you - especially as a bi/gay female who's faith was telling her she was a bad person for loving who she loved. Yep. I remember. :hug:

[elshiva]

23. Thanks. It's difficult.

For me, it's good to know that I'm not being constantly watched and judged. :hug:

[jobycom]

27. That's a difficult admission to make to yourself, sometimes.

At least it was for me. Takes courage to be true to yourself when so much of what you've been taught is trying to force you to be otherwise. :hug:

[madinmaryland]

58. I don't know what I actually consider myself.

I grew up a methodist, but over the years don't really believe in anything.

Maybe a nontheist? I just don't know what to classify myself as.

[elshiva]

63. Not atheist? An agnostic?

It's up to you. :shrug:

[jobycom]

17. She's sweet, funny, and her father is Derek Jacobi. What's not to love?

:bounce: :bounce: :toast: :toast: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

[elshiva]

25. Thank you. Also, this guy is Mr. elshiva:

[jobycom]

29. I'm so old I recognize Jacobi but not him!

But I can see how he could be alright.

[elshiva]

30. He's very capable...

I like to watch... :evilgrin:

[jobycom]

33. Egads! They are scaring Jeff Goldblum!!

Sorry, the two pictures stacked like that just struck me as hilarious!

[elshiva]

34. HUH? I don't understand. To me, two men kissing is sexy.

:shrug:

[jobycom]

39. Oh, not that.

It was just the cringing in his picture. Always makes me laugh, but it looked like they were crushing him and he was trying to hold them up. I have a weird sense of humor. :)

[Dystopian]

20. For you elshiva...

A rainbow...


A path to joy....


And a field of dreams...



You are wonderful, elshiva....
And beautiful.....
You are loved....
Thank you for being you....

peace~

[elshiva]

31. I love you Dystopian.

You are so thoughtful and poetic.

[Dystopian]

35. And I love you, Dear One...

elshiva:hug:
If you say I'm thoughtful and poetic...
It is only because I can see and appreciate the beauty in life...

You are one of the beautiful people...
Please know that...

peace~

[elshiva]

36. Awww, honey. Is that a picture of Kurt Cobain in your avatar?

:hug: :hug: You are beautiful, too.

[Dystopian]

53. Hmmm......

No, but he was even more handsome...:-)
The picture is of my first husband...the father of my two oldest children.
He was a Vietnam vet...USMC.
He died in 1992... casualty of war.
He left two beautiful children to carry on...for that I am thankful.

You were the first to ask about my avatar...:hug:
Thank you for asking, Dear One...

peace~

[elshiva]

55. I am sorrry for your loss. He was a handsome man.

:hug: :hug: Your children are lucky to have you. You are full of love and peace. :) :hug:

[Dystopian]

67. Thank you, elshiva...

You are also full of peace and love...:hug:



:loveya:

peace~

[elshiva]

68. THANKS! I try to be.

I love the rainbow. My father bought me a rainbow flag at Baltimore Gay Pride a couple years ago and I have it in my room. :hug: :loveya:

[Dystopian]

70. Sweet...

What a wonderful gift from your father...
Gifts from the heart are priceless...
Your father's love...and the pride he has for raising a child with a beautiful soul is golden.
As a parent....all I ever wanted was that my children follow The Golden Rule...


Be well...Daddy's beautiful child....:hug:



peace~

[I Have A Dream]

[fNord]

44. Elshiva is great people!

a wonderful combination of intelligence, warmth and charisma.

I have been on DU for about 2 1/2 years, rather quietly I must admit. In the beginning, this place was kind of intimidating, But Elshiva made me feel comfortable enough to post and be myself here.:hug: Thank you, and remember: being true to yourself means reminding yourself that Elshiva IS great people!!:loveya:

[elshiva]

56. Thank you, fnord. You are made of awesome.

:hug: Where's Waldo?

[Liberal_in_LA]

45. I thought LeftyFingerPoop is one on the 7 day ban?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. He is.

And I think you might want to edit your post.

His threads can still be responded to...this one was started before the suspension happened.

[jobycom]

49. An extra 'o' there. He started this before Skinner's Silver Hammer came down upon his head.

Glad he did, too. Much deserved appreciation thread.

[ccharles000]

46. love her

[elshiva]

62. I love charles. He's sweet and sexy.

:loveya: So proud of you, honey for being out.

I am glad she is here too!
