Many people have been asking if we are going to have our Valentine hearts fundraiser this year.
Yes, we are. It begins this weekend.
Normally our fund drives start on Sunday evening. But this year I think we might start it early -- on Friday evening -- so we won't miss Valentine's day.
Also, the hearts are a little different this year. Ought to be fun...

5. At least until we reach 1000 donations.
But we might leave it open longer if there is interest.

18. some people have donated already in the last three days because they already lost their star. Is there any way they can be awarded hearts retroactively?

21. How come you don't have a star?
You should have a great big one or maybe a pretty blue one or lavander.

25. Because I think it is important that I see the ads.
I want to know what is showing, and how annoying they are.

I love ( ha ha ) the Valentine heart drive.
It causes all kinds of hurt feelings. :-)
Lets see here now....conservatives work. ....conservatives pay taxes. ... DUmmies don't work..... DUmmies don't pay taxes. ....DUmmies collect gummint checks. .... DUmmies donate to Skinner.....therefore I'm donating to Skinner by proxy....hmmmmm
I want my heart dammit!
Normally our fund drives start on Sunday evening. But this year I think we might start it early -- on Friday evening -- so we won't miss Valentine's day.Of course. :lmao:
Here ya go, courtesy of the VRWC. We give out hearts to anyone, whether they pay dues or not!(http://www.sparkplugging.com/kids-activities/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/valentine-heart.gif)
Why wasn't alms to the DUmp included in the bailout package? After all, look what they did and how much money they raised to the "The One" elected. I believe that it exceeded 100,000 dollars.
Someone gave you a valentine heart!

A secret admirer gave you a valentine heart! Your new valentine heart appears at the bottom of each message you post on the Democratic Underground discussion forum. It looks like this:
If you want to give valentine hearts to other DU members, just donate to DU during this week's fund drive. For every $5 you donate to DU, you get a valentine heart that you can give to another DU member. (Please be aware that if you donate to give a donor star to someone else, that person will get the valentine hearts to give away. You will not get any hearts.) Just click this link to donate:

Note: Since these valentine hearts are anonymous, you cannot reply to this Private Message
You silver-tounged devil. :rofl:
edit: I like how the PM includes a link to the Donate page.
I had to X out the time on message. Knowing Der Skimmer, if he thought he could get one of us, he would TS every DUmmy that received a message with that time stamp.
(or am I being paranoid?) :mental:

OOOOOOOOOW......and it's so big.
OOOOOOOOOW......and it's so big.
You know, I'm suddenly worried for the financial stability of Skins's island.
This bothers me, because as usual, I think my fellow alum and the elusive enigmatic Elad deserve all that they can milk from the primitives; to get as much as they can, as quick as they can, from the primitives.
Trust me; it's a big job, a dirty job, dealing with the primitives.
A job mind you that doubtfully provides full medical insurance, retirement, a pension, and a "living wage".
