I just wanted to say "Thank you!" to whomever gave me a heart! It really means a lot to me.

I am disabled and on a super-limited income. I watch the hearts with great interest. It breaks my own heart to not be able to afford to pass out a few myself. I did manage to pull a few dollars together this week, but I spent them on candidates- there to be exact! I hope you all understand this was more important to me. Thanks again, and have fun, everyone! (PS: I have been here at DU since day one. I just don't post as much as some others).

1. your profile says year 3

rather than day 1.

it is hard to be noticed and remembered if you do not post much. Then again, in my case, I probably would be more popular if I posted less.

I appreciate my hearts as well, and still have 8 to give away.

3. That is because of a mishap. Skinner handled it for me, but advised me to make a new profile.

I promise, I've been here since day one, but under a different name. I can no longer retrieve that info.

5. Totally know that feeling, although not from Day 1.

Even have a (tiny, worthless) post in the archived Library of Congress thread we had back in the '04 election. But alas, nearly dying and a few years of 100% poverty (read: no internet!) does hell on a person's ability to remember a password LOL.

And I'm going to use this thead to say thank you to the two posters who sent me one. I was truly surprised and it did warm my heart. Thank you all very much.

7. well it is not like us n00bs would remember your old name anyway

unless you used to be NSMA or Jiacinto.

But your posts here are much too short for you to be Jiacinto.

Terwilliger? Muddle of the Road? LiberalsLikeChrist?

17. Oh my gosh, "Jiacinto"! You have dated yourself! LoL!! mt

[silvershadow]

18. None of those. And as to my short posts: I have made plenty of longer, poignant posts on topics.

Just happens that I'm more of a "short and sweet" type of person these days.

2. Someone gave me a couple of them too.

I wish I knew who because they are probably cool.

4. Well we are all cool. Good luck to you and your candidate! I pledge to support whomever the

nominee is.

8. OK I will confess

I get hearts and dole them out for a variety of reasons - you, I just love your DU name - it freaking ROCKS so that's why you got one from me and YES I AM COOL; yes INDEED

now you can wonder who gave you the OTHER one

9. Thank you!

11. LOL! Thanks :)

When I joined this site my oldest son was just a baby (he is 13 years old now). Zing Zing Zingbah was the name of one of the Boohbahs. It was another show for babies back then like Teletubbies. My son used to think the show was funny back then and I liked the sound of the name so I used it as a username.

6. I'm so very grateful for mine, too!

I just love it so much when people who don't know each other do kind things purely for the sake of kindness. It's beautiful. I was really touched.

10. I know

I came home to 2 hearts yesterday. It absolutely made my day (which, up until that point had been rather crappy). It meant a lot. I wish I had some to give...I renewed just a few days before the hearts started and, well, considering the state of my finances currently, I won't be able to give again to give out hearts. But I'd like everyone to know I appreciate the hearts.

Love....
