Have you ever had a day...........When all you felt like doing...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Was lurking?

That's how I am today......

And I have no idea why...

That's why I started this thread, silly though it is.....

To get reconnected with all of you......

Please, help me........

[LibraLiz1973]

1. Baby steps into the lounge..

Take off the invisibility cloak!!

lol


Hi Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear LibraLiz!

The cloak is gone!

How'd you do that? LOL!

Thanks, sweetie! :hug:

[Road Scholar]

2. You never are disconnected, LOL

:toast:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear In_Transit!

I may not be.......but sometimes I sure feel as though I am....

And today was one of those days.......

Thanks for helping get me reconnected, sweetie! :hug:

[rug]

4. But I thought mods were supposed to lurk?

[Road Scholar]

6. Not our Peg. She's one of us.

:toast:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear rug!

Yes, we are supposed to....and I do that as part of my official duties!

But I don't normally feel as disconnected from my fellow DU'ers as I did today.......

And I was not enjoying that feeling one little bit!

I appreciate your help! :hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. ..

:P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear Rev!

What a terrific smiley! I'm so going to steal that!

It's perfect!

Thanks, sweetie........:hug:




:P

[Tsiyu]

8. I go through months like that

Sometimes it's fun to catch up without all the work.

And you've posted today, Missy, cuz i caught you!

Nothing wrong with being a silent observer sometimes. Nothing at all.... :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear buddyhollysghost!

I am normally very connected......

But today I felt kind of detached.....:shrug:

And yes, you did catch me, yes you did!

Good catch, sweetie! :hug:

[hijinx87]

9. nobody is misbehaving?

maybe we could ask for volunteers to require a little
moderation. :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear hijinx87!

That is really not necessary!

Sometimes there are so many folks misbehaving that I can't enjoy myself! :cry:

I know you mean well though, and I appreciate the offer! ;)

[hijinx87]

17. chin up, dear.

this too, shall pass.

[Kajsa]

12. Do not fear, Peggy,

you are not a lurker- you are an observer.:7

See, you started this thread to reconnect,
and that's what you're doing.

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear Kajsa!

Indeed, that is just why I started this silly thread!

To reconnect with my friends.....

I love you all...

:loveya: :grouphug: :loveya:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

15. most of my days are like that actually

i lurk and lurk...start a response, and then hit back, lurk and lurk some more

sigh

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. MAHNY!

Oh, it is so damn good to have you show up here!

I wish I saw you more .......I miss you, baby.......

We used to talk all the time, remember? *sigh*

I hope your life is good, sweetie.......Mine is!

:yourock:

:loveya:

:hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

22. lol!

of course I remember!

Im always around here. Im usually lurking on DU 1-2 hours a day...

actually more like 4 or so

just send a PM :D

:hug:

Life is good

[Nicole]

18. All the time

That's why I average less than 1,O00 posts a year. :rofl:

Sometimes I don't post for weeks at a time. Once I lurked for over 6 months without posting.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear Nicole!

Wow......that's amazing!

I guess I'm just too damn chatty.........

I'd go nuts if I couldn't post every day! :crazy:

[SPKrazy]

21. Connect With Me And Make Me Whole!

I have those days, although I haven't had them in a while

I now have 10000 posts +, but most of those have been done in the last few months in the lounge.

I never used to hang out in the lounge. I'm glad I do. I'm glad that you are here Peggy!

:hug: :yourock:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear Southpawkicker!

It's rare for me as well........

But sometimes I don't see my friends here.......

If folks are lurking, then you can't see them.....

So.........this thread is really helping bring everyone out!

I'm glad you're here, too..... :hug:

[bigwillq]

23. Hey Peggy!

Sometimes I do that too.
Sometimes I just have nothing to say and other days....:).....I feel chatty.

Enjoy your evening.

:hi: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear bigwillq!

Thanks!

I feel much better now........:hug:

I will enjoy my evening.......and I hope you do too!

[bigwillq]

28. I am at work.

Not really enjoying it though. :(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. ....

I am sorry..........:hug:

Hope you get to go home soonest....

[bigwillq]

40. I hope so to.

:hug:

[hijinx87]

24. LOL! if you aren't reconnected in the next 10 or 15 replies

you aren't reconnectable. :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Ah......no worries there!

I'm definitely reconnected by now........

You sly devil, you!

[hijinx87]

32. I am very relieved.

we can't have our moderator sad and blue. ;-)

[Shine]

25. A lot of my days are like that.

Hi Peggy! :hi:
It is sooooo cold up here. Right now it's about 45 degrees! We finally took down the Xmas lights today and now my hands are freezing.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. My dear Shine!

It's lovely to see you tonight!

Oh, isn't the cold something? I'm not sure what the temp is here, now...

I'll bet your hands are freezing!

Hope your daughter is feeling better......:hug:

Thanks for coming by! :pals:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

33. I only lurk on days that end in Y ;)

:hi: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. My dear SalmonChantedEvening!

What a terrific username!

Only on days that end in y?

LOL! That's all of them, silly!

:hi: :hug: back atcha!

[TOhioLiberal]

34. My dear CaliforniaPeggy...

...I know exactly how you feel. I feel that way myself a lot of the time. Then there are days where, short of sending up smoke signals, I feel completely ignored. :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. My dear TOhioLiberal.......

Never be afraid to put up smoke signals, sweetie!

I know that rather exposes your vulnerabilities......

But I find that usually folks come to my rescue....

And I feel better, much better......Just like tonight!

Walk your path...carve out a niche for yourself........

And your friends will be there for you.......

Just as you're here for me, tonight, sweetie.....:loveya: :hug:

[huskerlaw]

37. Hey Peggy!

I've been feeling like that for a few days now.

No clue why.

:hi:

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. My dear huskerlaw!

It's weird, isn't it?

But my silly thread is helping!

We humans need to be connected to one another!

Too damn social, IMHO! :pals: :hug:

[Haole Girl]

39. My Dearest Peggy!

Now...how can I help you get reconnected....if you were never disconnected?

You're so clever! That's why we love you!! :hug: :grouphug: :loveya:

Sincerely,

Dearest KC2 ;-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. My dear KC2!

Me? Clever? Never!

LOL! :rofl:

You crack me up, sweetie! I love you too! :loveya: :hug:

[Haole Girl]

45. Ha-ha!

Well, you know it's my goal in life to make people laugh, don't you?









Shhhhh...please don't tell anybody.

:hug: :loveya: ;-)

[Redstone]

41. Connect here.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. My dear Redstone...........

Indeed, you and I are lucky to share our connection, aren't we?

My very good dear friend........:hug:

[Redstone]

47. Yes.

Redstone

[BarenakedLady]

42. Yes

I do feel that way often (believe it or not). Usually when I feel I have nothing positive to say about anything or anyone. When I'm lower than low.

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. My dear BarenakedLady..........

I've read many of your sadder posts to know this is true......

And I'm sorry.......

I wish I could help you in a more concrete way than just by my words on your screen.....

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

49. Just knowing you care is enough

and the :hug: are always appreciated.

[JackBeck]

48. There are days where I look at post after post

and answer them in my head but never reply. I guess that's lurking.

But anyway, hugs and love from the East coast.

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

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. My dear JackBeck!

I hear ya!

It's time we got you out of your shell, then, isn't it?

You have valuable things to say to us........

And you can't say them if you lurk!

Love and hugs back atcha! :loveya: :hug: :pals:

[JackBeck]

71. Little by little I've been poking my head outside of my shell.

Which is funny you should say that. I'm a Cancer (astrologically speaking).

:headbang: :yourock:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

72. ROFLMAO!

I didn't even know I was being so damn appropriate!

:loveya:

:rofl:

[SPKrazy]

51. Is This A Sex Thread?

lurking
reconnecting

?

;) :shrug: :loveya: :hug:

jest askin

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. My dear Southpawkicker!

How can you say sex thread to a mod???

NO, this isn't, silly!

Jest asking, hah!

Thanks for your help, sweetie! :hug:

[SPKrazy]

53. My Dear Peggy

exactly

how can I say sex thread to a mod?

:loveya: :hug: :yourock:


I must be nuts

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

54. Are you lurking with intent?

:evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

61. ME?

Intent? Hmmm.....I dunno!

:rofl:

[Hugin]

55. I literally spent *years* lurking at DU before I started posting...

So, no... I wouldn't say it's unusual.

I just didn't have anything to say. People here don't realize IRL I'm a very
quiet person.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

62. My dear Prag........

Well, I for one am glad that you post more these days!

It's fun reading your posts...........:hug:

[Hugin]

70. Likewise, Peggy...

:hug:

[Bum Whisperer]

56. Always

Now back to lurking.

[Hugin]

57. Welcome to DU Bum Whisperer.

Even though you've been here since at least Nov!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

64. My dear Bum Whisperer.........

Stay here, and talk to me!

It's more fun to talk.....you'll find out!

:hi:

[Maestro]

58. How ya doin?

I know some wildlife photographers out in your fine state. I envy them!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

65. My dear Maestro!

I'm feeling a lot happier since I started my silly thread!

Your wildlife pics are just wonderful.....

You have nothing to be envious of! :hug:

[HCE SuiGeneris]

59. Peggy

Yes. And for me, it is a move for self-preservation. It is enough sometimes to absorb and reflect...
I wish you comfort in your thoughts and peace for your spirit. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

66. My dear BushDespiser12..........

Those are all very good reasons for lurking......

It is indeed enough sometimes to absorb and reflect.....

I do those things too.....

Thank you for your good thoughts and wishes......I deeply appreciate them!

:hug:

[liberaltrucker]

60. I lurk occasionally

But invariably, I'll see a comment so off-the-wall,
I just HAVE to say :wtf:

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

67. My dear liberaltrucker!

:wtf: indeed!

I hear ya!

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

63. Yes.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

68. My dear Left Is Write.........

Do you?

On the days when I don't see you.....I just thought you were occupied elsewhere.....

Glad you're here......:hug:

[Left Is Write]

69. Oh, yes. I lurk now and then. Usually when you don't see me...

it's because I *am* occupied elsewhere, but sometimes I don't have the time or the energy to get involved in threads, and then I just lurk.
