Are you a friend of mine? And I don't mean MySpace......

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I mean, do you like me?

Do you enjoy talking with me?

Do you feel happy when you see me?

If you do.........

Come and say hello.......I need my friends here with me tonight...

:loveya: :grouphug: :loveya:

[Redstone]

1. Wassamatta you? Having a bad night?

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear Redstone.......

Ah, how nice to see you......

Not really a bad night, no.....

Just a little blue since I won't get to talk to someone dear anytime soon....

That's all......

Thank you for coming by! :hug:

And I hope that you're feeling well, and that Mrs. R is over her flu...

[Redstone]

20. Glad you're feeling a bit better now. Mrs R is almost recovered, and just in time. Tomorrow,

I have to go to Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Monday, I have to go to New York to try to put together a deal that, if I get it done, will earn me a commission of (hold your breath and sit down right here, please) $150,000.00 which is not a typo.

I've have a contract to broker the sale of a company, at a commission of 5% of the sale price. A prospective buyer is flying in from Chicago to look the business over...and you know what the strange part is? I'm NOT nervous.

I guess being oblivious has its merits.

It's the story of my life. I don't know jack shit about being a business broker, but someone called me and said "Sell my company for me, and I'll pay you five percent," and what did I say? "OK, no problem. I'll get going on it."

And I think I may actually get away with it.

These are interesting times, indeed. I promised Mrs R that if the deal goes through, I'll take a month off and we'll do that cross-country trip this summer.

That tiff is long gone, sweetie......

You are a special soul here for me......

[evlbstrd]

21. I like you.

We don't talk a lot, but I like it when we do.
What's wrong?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear evlbstrd!

You are one of my earliest friends here......

And I always feel happy when I see you posting, and we get a chance to talk...

Nothing much is really wrong.........

I was just feeling a bit lonely is all......

But that is gone now!

:hug:

[evlbstrd]

30. Good. I'm glad to know that.

You gave me my first star. I'll never forget that.
Do you have any plans for St. Patrick's Day? I'm hosting a Hoolie.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. I'm glad to hear about your Hoolie...

But I must confess that I've never heard the word before...:blush:

Is it some sort of Irish party?

I'm going to a baby shower! My daughter's sister-in-law is having her first child!

:bounce: :bounce:

[evlbstrd]

49. Don't be embarrassed.

It's an odd looking word. But, yes, that's exactly what it is. I'm sponsoring one of the many horrible American-Irish debauched celebrations in the name of a truly brave spirit.
Anoint that baby with Guinness! It's good for you!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. Thanks for the explanation!

Well, if I didn't have to drive 50 miles, maybe I would have some Guinness!

We'll just have to wet the baby's head (when he gets here) with something else!

Have fun at your Hoolie!

:toast:

[evlbstrd]

55. I'll have one for you.

And one for the new baby!

I'm a moody bitch, but I make a good friend, and I love you. :grouphug: :loveya:

32. Hi Peggy

I enjoyed meeting you, and consider you to be one of my friends.

I haven't been posting much recently; my posting tends to come and go in spurts. I am not one of the more outgoing people, either on this board or in real life.

Since I saw your post, I thought I would say hello.:hi:

And I hope to be seeing you again at a future gathering.:-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. My dear MikeH!

How lovely to have you drop in tonight........

I hope to see you again at a future gathering too!

:hug:

[InternalDialogue]

35. Oh, Peggy, you're the light of the Lounge.

I'm your friend, if there's room for more. You know you've endeared yourself to everyone here, myself included.

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear InternalDialogue!

There is no limit on space for friends.......

Thank you for your very kind words, sweetie.....

They mean so much ....:hug:

[InternalDialogue]

38. And Peggy, you know there's always Sam Elliott.

I caught your comment the other day about him. Here's one to put on the list:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. I do love Sam Elliott!

I'm afraid, though, that this movie looks a little creepy....:scared:

Maybe I'll check it out.......or maybe I won't...

Thanks for the reference, though!

:hug:

[InternalDialogue]

44. Chalk that one up to Oeditpus Rex

I just happened to catch the name in passing.

[snailly]

42. Peggy!

I'm "new" here (been lurking for 2 years) and I hope you'll be my friend. I think you're an awesome lady and have much to tell these whippersnappers, lol.
I'll be around sometimes and hope to talk with you soon!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. My dear snailly!

Of course I'll be your friend!

I'm always happy to have new friends to talk to .......

I tend to be on at this time of the night.......

On and off during the day....

Oh, and before I forget: Welcome to DU!

Enjoy your time in our crazy, addictive little village!

:hi:

[Cannikin]

47. Peggy, it's always a delight to see your smiling face..

And you have to be the sweetest person in the lounge!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. My dear Cannikin!

Oh, you are too damn good to me!

I've just been feeling a little lonely, a little left out.......

And here you are helping me feel so much better.......

I hardly deserve all this.....

Thank you... :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

[ComerPerro]

53. not a friend in the classic sense, but I know of you, and like who you are

and, sometimes, I guess, that's all it takes, right?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

54. My dear ComerPerro........

I think you're onto something, indeed.....

Things are different in cyber-space, I think.......

How do we know each other?

There are more layers here than in the 'real world.'

Nonetheless, I appreciate your coming by tonight, and your comments!

I like who you are too......

Thanks! :hi:

[ComerPerro]

56. We are sooo different, lol. I love it

I can't touch a thread for too long without lighting something on fire. And you, so serene, so wonderfully nice...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

58. I can be fiery, believe me.....

But here? No.......

Here I want to give, and get, love.......

And I have had both happen........:hug:

[Roon]

79. My dear mulsh........

I am always surprised when someone like yourself comes along......

Out of the blue, and says, oh, yes, I've been looking at your posts for all this time!

And I had no clue...

Such are the charms of the internet!

And now I have another new friend.........Thank you...

But that's just the way the cookie crumbles......*sigh*

:loveya:

[GenDem]

84. I like you very, very, much

I've only been around since November, so I'm a bit of a nOOb, but one thing I learned very quickly -- CaliforniaPeggy is one of the finest people on the planet. You are kind, considerate, compassionate, and a friend to everyone that comes in here.

Whether the conversation is serious or on the lighter side you know how to reach out. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

89. My dear GenDem......

142. I say heck yea!!!

Sorry could not make it a couple of weeks ago. I needed to put some $$ in my jewelry business so I'm working a day job. Just bought a Burnout Kiln and some supplies including tufa stone for casting. I will post some pictures of my stuff in (hopefully) a week or two.

Saturday I've got a St. Paddy's Day dinner in the evening, but I will ask Alison if we have time to meet at the Local Yoke for brunch. I thinking around 10:00am sound good to you?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

143. Alas, I'm going to a baby shower on Saturday!

We'll have to plan some other time.......

And I so rarely do things on the weekend......

Really, any other weekend will work!

Let me know!

I just drove through your city twice in the last 3 weeks. I haven't been there for almost 30 years. I'd forgotten what a charming city it is.

150. holy cripes....i just saw this just now.....

peggy....i sure hope you're feeling better.

next time you're blue, come on over to my place for a few cuba libres or some coconut rum or maybe just a couple of ice cold cervezas. i'll cook you up some fresh salmon and some tico rice and i'll cut up a few ripe avocadoes. then we can walk up the mountain in front of my house and enjoy the fresh breeze of the temperate rain forest and watch the toucanets, masked tityras, parakeets, brown jays, and oropendolas fly from tree to tree.

152. My dear Gato Moteado!

I know it would be lots and lots of fun!
