I Like Flowers, dammit! And I don't see any problem with sending them to great people

[Nikki Stone1]

like Elizabeth Edwards.

Donating to cancer research is great too.

[Lost-in-FL]

1. Thou shall not send flowers to ANYONE!!

I agree with you, there's nothing wrong with trying being nice. But you know someone always has to complaint.

[Nikki Stone1]

5. Yeah, there's always some complaint or other

Bleh!

[helderheid]

2. Blessed are the peacemakers

[Nikki Stone1]

4. That was a GREAT day, wasn't it!

:D

[eleny]

3. Don't let the grinches get you down

Roses, donations to cancer research etc. or to JE's campaign - it's all good.

[Nikki Stone1]

20. Agreed!

6. An invitation to join in

sending Elizabeth Edwards flowers somehow turned into a negotiation. Invitation does NOT equal negotiation. Sometimes a nice gesture is just that....it's not always about politics or causes, sometimes it just about doing something nice for someone to make them feel loved.

[Nikki Stone1]

7. Yeah. It actually became more of an argument and

an opportunity for some to play "holier than thou".

Sad, because all the ideas are good ones.

[BlackVelvet04]

8. You're right......

all of the ideas were good but the argument got ridiculous.

[Nikki Stone1]

9. I know. I wonder about these internet arguments. Maybe we're all in alpha state

when we type for more than 20 minutes?

[BlackVelvet04]

10. An alpha dog state. n/t

[Nikki Stone1]

11. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl:

Arf!

[BlackVelvet04]

13. Woof, woof

:rofl: ;-)

14. FWIW, and I have no dog in this race, I think sometimes people read

to much into a post and are offended. As a bystander who just came upon this, that's what I see. I don't see holier than thou. It looks more like a bunch of tired people who should be resting instead of posting.

[Nikki Stone1]

16. You may have a point, Mrs. Grumpy

And I can't help but think that part of it is that everyone is really upset about Elizabeth Edwards. She's a great lady and it's such bad news. Makes us all a little upset.

12. Hear, hear!

Even well known and wealthy people enjoy flowers and appreciate people's thoughtfulness.

[Nikki Stone1]

15. And unknown people as well

:)

[ourbluenation]

18. Hear, hear, hear!

;)

[Nikki Stone1]

19. There are a lot of ways to honor someone

We can all do what we can.

[piesRsquare]

21. I love flowers!

Wish someone would send ME flowers...I'm a total sucker for flowers! :-)

Whoever's kvetching about sending Elizabeth Edwards flowers needs to get a life!

[Nikki Stone1]

22. I like roses, myself

But any kind are good. :)

[whoneedstickets]

23. Flowers are environmentally unfriendly...

..think of the energy, fertilizer, CO2 emissions from transport, post-wilting waste...

J/K
They are pretty.

[Nikki Stone1]

24. There are a lot of people who are environmentally unfriendly :)

Appreciate the humor. :D

And they are lovely.

25. Locking. There are a number of open threads

about showing support for Mrs. Edwards and her family.

This doesn't seem to promote whatever show of support DUers choose to make for the Edwards. It appears inflammatory.

Thanks for your consideration.
