a self-serving, pity post (I need a hug)

[RevCheesehead]

I want a smiley that says "I see dumb people," and "mean people suck."

Yes, the GD wars are getting to me.

[KitchenWitch]

1. Sorry to hear that Rev!

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

9. Thank you, witchie-poo.

:hug:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

2. Oh here's one.

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

10. Thanks, CG

:hug: You're not nearly as crazy as your name implies.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

3. Read Rabbi Jesus by Bruce Chilton

I just did, and I feel better for it.

[RevCheesehead]

11. Sounds good.

A trip to Amazon!

[enigmatic]

4. you got it!

:hug:

Stay here; it's safer:)

[RevCheesehead]

12. Thanks, enigmatic

:hug: you're right, as usual - it's infinitely safer here.

[RetroLounge]

5. Big hugs from here to you...

:hi:

Hi Darling. I'm in a deeper funk myself, it all seems dark and impossible right now, so a hug will help in both directions...

:hug:

RL

[RevCheesehead]

14. My sweetie!

:hug: & a :*

Repeat with me: The glass is half-full. The glass is half-full.

[RetroLounge]

44. Actually, what it feels like is this:

the glass is full of a beautiful clear drink of ice water.

It is 100 degrees outside.

I am dying of thirst.

The water is all I can think about.

But I cannot reach the glass.

Those within reach won't hand it too me.

and the glass does not want me to drink it anyhow...

RL
(Drama Queen, apparently)

[RevCheesehead]

46. Aw, sweetie - -

I've had those days, too. :hug:

(passing you a glass of water, with ice and a slice of lemon)

[RetroLounge]

47. Ah, refreshing and cool...

You rock, Rev!

:hug:

RL

[SocratesInSpirit]

6. Here you go...

:hug:

Lounge is funner, stay awhile. :)

[RevCheesehead]

15. It most certainly is!

Thanks, SOS. :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

7. .

pick one

[RevCheesehead]

16. I'll go with the first one.

I'd rather light a candle than curse the darkness. (clever, aren't I?)

But I have to admit, the cursing guy is more in tune with my mood. :evilgrin:

[In_The_Wind]

29. excellent choice

Actually ... yes, you are clever. You venture into the fray to make a difference, to be heard. Yet - you have enough sense to return to the safety of your friends while you regroup to fight again.:thumbsup:

[RevCheesehead]

30. hee-hee

I have enough sense to duck out and watch Countdown, followed by The Daily Show. Most satisfying 1-1/2 hours on TV.

As to the other, I'm just following in the great tradition of all the other really cool DUers who do the same. :)

[southlandshari]

8. Awwwww - here you go, darlin'.....

I just wish it was bigger!

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

17. gee, don't you have mysterious mod powers?

to enlarge smileys?
Or kick mean-people butt in GD?

Thanks, Shari. (((:hug:)))

[southlandshari]

22. ROFL!

Just point 'em out, darlin" - I'll do what I can!

But not tonight. I'm like you - it has been a long day and I'm not up to any more conflict tonight.

[RevCheesehead]

24. That's why Skinner is the DU Deity.

He hath given us the Lounge for our pleasure (don't abuse it). :7

[Chichiri]

13. A hug for you.

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

18. Thanks, Chichiri.

:hug:

[khashka]

19. No problem - a hug

:hug:

Now get your rear end out of GD and back into the Lounge where people are nice!

Khash.

[RevCheesehead]

21. Thanks, Khash!

:hug:

Actually, I might head over to the Keith group to see if anyone else is watching the rerun of his show.

Oh, wait - I can do both, can't I? Duh.

[jane_pippin]

20. Aw Rev, here you go:

:hugh:







(Just kidding.) :hug: :hug: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

23. Ah, so that's where Hugh went!

Thanks for the smile, too! :hug:

[caty]

25. Hope this helps:

It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn

when your world is weary,
when all is dark,
when dreams die and fade away,
and all of life is stark,
take heart in gentle love,
for she waits in the wings,
and where she walks,
fairies dance and angels sing,
though you cannot see her,
she weaves a silken touch,
leaving footprints in the sand,
sprinkling spells and such,
lighting the dampened corridors,
the dark corners of your mind,
leaving you breathless,
bewildered by her kind,
goodness glints in her eyes,
hope is in her arms,
and all you've ever dreamed of,
rests sweetly in her charms.

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals:

[RevCheesehead]

26. It most certainly does - thanks!

:hug:

[crispini]

27. hey girl!

:hug: it's rerun time! :P

[RevCheesehead]

28. Hey, Crispi!

:hug: I'm soakin' up the love.

Thanks to Patsy's earworm, I've been hearing The Cap'n & Tenille. But now it's replaced with Elton John ("Caaaaaaan you feeeeel the loooove tonight?").

And Keith is most definately "on", isn't he? :loveya:

[Ladyhawk]

31. (((((((((((((((((((((( RevCheesehead ))))))))))))))))))))

GD can be nasty sometimes. :( Occasionally someone will say something that makes me want to throttle them. I feel your pain.

[RevCheesehead]

32. My dear Ladyhawk...

(((:hug:)))

How are you doing, sweetie? I've been thinking of you.

[hfojvt]

33. but I have some good news in the mail

Based on my astounding record of financial responsibility and stability I have been pre-approved for $1,022.68 cash to spend as I like. And the best part is there's only a nominal $38 monthly payment. My wells fargo wagon has come in!! :sarcasm:
Carry on my wayward daughter :pals:

[RevCheesehead]

34. I thought you were going to say

"I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico."

Carry on? Have no fear. :evilgrin:

[hfojvt]

40. well, you can drive my car, but

I got no car, and it's breaking my heart (NOT!)
but I've found a driver, and that's a start!!!

[iconoclastic cat]

35. How about Happy Bunny?

[RevCheesehead]

36. I LOVE IT!!!

I mean, who could argue with such cuteness? And empathy?

[iconoclastic cat]

37. Do an image google on Happy Bunny.

[NMMNG]

38. Hey Rev

Here's a hug to start with

I couldn't find a "mean people suck" smiley. Will this do?

[KitchenWitch]

39. How is this smiley?

[NMMNG]

42. Perfect!

I knew someone who had a T-shirt that said:

Mean People Suck--Come Over Here and Show Me How Mean You Can Be

[RevCheesehead]

43. I love the fact that there's a group of smileys.

Kinda like peer pressure. :)

[RevCheesehead]

41. bea-u-ti-ful!

(said in my best Sgt. Schultz imitation)

Maybe I'll just stick with the hugs. It makes me feel much better. :)

[Shell Beau]

45. Aw,

:pals:

[joneschick]

48. awwww..Sista Rev you need lounge hugs

:pals:

[RevCheesehead]

49. Actually, that's from last night....

but, hell, I'll take all the hugs I can get! :hug:

Go find Retro and give him a hug - he needs it.

[joneschick]

51. rough week all around? eom

[ralps]

50. Hi RevCheesehead, I hope your kitties are snuggling with you. :hug:

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug: :hug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :hug: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

52. They're never far away.

Oreo is atop the monitor, and Binky is in the antique babycrib in my office.

Thanx for the hug - back atcha: :hug:

[JimmyJazz]

53. Give 'em H-E- Double Hockey Sticks, Rev! Oh and this:

[RevCheesehead]

55. OK, now I know I'm losing it....

because it looks like Dumbo is having sex with an invisible friend.


I think I need some sleep. :evilgrin:

[Catchawave]

54. Awwww Rev honey....

Here ya go: :hug:

Stop by MrScorpio's bar and pick yourself up a lovely beverage, turn on "Drumline" on TBS right now and hang in the Lounge :)

Sad that's what I call my break from DU...lol. GD's been manic these past coupla weeks, very stressful topics lately, the threads I start fall into the archives within 5 hours!

[RevCheesehead]

56. Thanks, darlin.

My funk was actually last night, but I'll take all the hugs I can get.

:hug:

[Catchawave]

57. I'm day behind on everything tonight....lol

Congratulations on your 10,000th posties, while I'm at it :))

[xmas74]

58. So sorry Rev.

You can definitely get a hug from me. You look so much like my aunt that I feel like we are family.

:pals: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

59. Perhaps we are...

after all, isn't that what the Lounge feels like? A loving, hugging, crazy and wonderful family reunion - with the occasional crazy uncle now and then.

[xmas74]

60. My whole family is crazy.

Can't limit it to just one.
But the Lounge does have that feel.
And we also have the Wisconsin link too.
