Can't make it to a vigil tonight?

[RevCheesehead]

All the vigils I know of are miles away, so I've put an electric candle in the window (the ones I use at Christmas). It's a small symbol of solidarity, and I hope everyone who can't be out in person can do something like this. It might get the neighbors talking, too. :)

1. Good thought!

I will join you in that endeavor.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. My husband and I will light candles in ten minutes

and pray our prayers and sing a peace song. "Where two or more of you are gathered, I am there...."

[bonito]

3. I got a hurricane lamp

going to put it in the drive right now

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. For Cindy

[LibinMo]

5. Good idea- I'll do the same.

[bonito]

6. Done, lets vote this one up

Let make something happen. I for one can feel it.

[Pepper32]

7. Same here... I like your idea and will do the same. (n/t)

[SalmonChantedEvening]

8. Just put the one in my window out.

Lit it at 7 and let it burn for 2 hours.

Bless you Cindy Sheehan. :loveya:

9. Me,too

I have a kid with a cold,so I'm homebound.Lighting candles now

[Mad_Dem_X]

10. Great idea!

I just went downstairs and grabbed one of our electric candles; now it's in the living room window. :patriot:

[merh]

11. My windows are still boarded

Hurricane season, it takes so much to put up the boards, I decided to keep them up (especially since every time I turn around another hurricane is out there somewhere). I do have a candle lit in the house though. :thumbsup:

We shall have our own DU vigil, right here in this thread! :grouphug:

:hug: Hi Rev! :hi:

[RevCheesehead]

12. Merh!

Nice to see ya, darlin'!

I wish I had thought of it earlier. For tonight, we'll have to make do with just one candle. :)

[merh]

13. How ya been, Rev?

What are you doing out of the KOEB hourly experience? :shrug:
Isn't Keith on tonight?

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

14. Oh I'm watching.

But everyone else must be out vigil-ing.
And it just ain't as much fun without Sparky. :(

It was nice hearing Keith name Rush as "Worst Person in the World", though. :loveya:

[merh]

16. Where has sparky been?

I've missed him too, he used to pop in and say hi and smile that smile just to make my day better. :-(

Where did he go? :shrug:

I hear that about Keith's honest reporting - it is so very refreshing to hear someone on the news speak the truth Rush is the Worst Person in the World! :loveya: :loveya:

[KyndCulture]

22. Hey Merh! It's pouring rain here... no luminaria's like I planned.

But I got my inside candles lit.

[merh]

27. How are you KyndCulture!

:hi: Sorry about the rain, but I am glad you have those candles burning inside!



:hug:

[bonito]

30. merh i know what you mean

If you need help with those boards I'm here in fl. and can help with taking them down or up I've always been in the trades. I would consider it an honor!

[merh]

31. I do appreciate the offer bonito!

And a belated Welcome to DU! :hi:

I have decided to keep them up to keep the storms away. As soon as I take them down you know a storm will blow into the Gulf, so I will leave them up until November. Heck, I can paint pumpkins on them for Halloween decorations and add turkeys for Thanksgiving! :rofl:

Thanks so much for the kind offer!

[bonito]

36. Ok ,I'll be an east coast connection

If I can be of service just holler.

[merh]

37. Will do - thanks again!

:thumbsup: :hi:

26. I've got a meeting

that I can't get out of (I tried), so I'm putting some floating candles in the swimming pool since I didn't want candles burning in the house when no one is home. :)

Good idea, Rev Cheesehead!

[Blue Diadem]

28. Mine is lit on the porch n/t

[nashville_brook]

[WiseButAngrySara]

33. This is great! Just lit my candle and lantern. Never too late 4 this.n/t

[DemoTex]

32. I'm way out in the wilds of NC. The candle is lit, for me and the dogs.

One of my dear friends in Greenville, SC, just called. She went to the vigil at the Haynesworth Federal Building in downtown Greenville. She said that it was a very subdued affair (as it should be) with no hecklers. Two TV stations covered it (4 & 7), along with print media. She said that it was a good turnout, but I forgot to get a head-count estimate.

34. Porch light's on!

I'm keeping mine on all night as long as Cindy's in Crawford. I invite everyone in America to join us. Let's light up America with the light of Truth.

[Kire]

35. I'm home from the vigil now, I've got some candles left.

I'll just let it burn.

42. I put a candle in a window

No vigils within 30 miles of me.

[feminazi]

45. i've had a candle burning in the window since 7:30pm

lit a couple inside too

[LoKnLoD]

46. I put two big candles on my doorstep

The closet vigil was 40 miles away, just couldn't make it. They even had the Salt Lake vigils on the local Fox news channel at 9pm and it was a pretty supportive coverage segment. Suprising for Right Wing Utah.
