4. Heidi is always telling people that they are a shining light in the

Lounge...

I maintain that SHE'S the shining light in the Lounge...a kinder, more lovely person with her talents is very hard to find, IMHO...

Here's a toast to our Heidi...Live long and prosper, my dear gf!

Peggy. I'm honored by your friendship. :hug:

[bliss_eternal]

35. Do you remember Holly Hobby dolls?

I was so in love with that doll when I was small. Her head was big, but she was a cutie!

:P

[Heidi]

7. I step outside for a cigarette, and come back to this!?!?

Ya'll are sneaky. And ya'll are nuts. Maybe that's why I fit in here. :rofl:

:blush: "You like me. You really like me." -- Sally Field, upon being validated by her peers at the Academy Awards.

[AVulgarianHue]

10. The Church of Heidi

[Heidi]

12. Holy cow!

What did I do to inspire you to get the Baptist's on my a$$? :rofl: (I was raised Baptist, by the way. :rofl: )

AVH, that has _got_ to be the funniest and most _unlikely_ "honor" ever bestowed upon me!

[tjwmason]

[Clintmax]

26. Then we have mutual admiration, Miss Heidi!

:hug: You doing OK today? How's everything in Swit.?

[Heidi]

27. Except for the dead mouse under the desk this morning,

everything's fine here. I had a short-and-sweet burial before I had coffee. If only The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger were not so generous. :eyes:

:loveya: Is it the start of a good day for you, Clintmax?

[Clintmax]

28. Why yes it is!

:loveya: Made even better by YOU, Miss Heidi!

Seriously, such a sweetheart. I'll be forever grateful for the words of encouragement she's given me. :applause:

And since we've got a bit of a dual-theme going on here...I present: The Heidi Hutte, straight from Switzerland

[alarcojon]

34. Gotta weigh in

Hi Heidi, thanks for all the art and the friendly banter. And the pic against the scanner, of course.



:yourock:

[MissMillie]

38. I love Heidi

but I always end up making her hungry.

[Heidi]

39. I'm starving RIGHT NOW as a matter of fact!

No joke!

Fortunately, it's Mr. Heidi's night to cook: a steak for him, bear-lauch (I don't know the English name for this, but it's something like giant wild onions) sausage for me; hash browns; and spinach. YUM! (Yeah, it's kind of a thrown-together dinner because "we" forgot whose night it was to cook. :rofl: )

:loveya: too, MissMillie! :hug:

[no name no slogan]

40. Heidi r0x0rz!!!!

:kick:

[Hugin]

41. Heidi is one of the greats!

Not to mention the President of an International Fan Club.

;)

[progmom]

42. I absolutely adore Heidi

Seriously - she brings such a tone of warmth and compassion to the lounge. I am so grateful to have her here.

[Left Is Write]

43. Heidi is a beautiful person and a great artist.

[Kellanved]

44. This tune is what I hear when someone says "Heidi"

http://members.liwest.at/maxedl/rev/anime-manga/heidi/heidi01.mp3
:scared:

[Heidi]

46. At least it's not "Edelweiss."

:rofl:

[BikeWriter]

47. I'm getting flashbacks to "The Sound of Music."

:)

[Heidi]

48. Scary, huh?

:scared:

[BikeWriter]

50. Not at all. It was a brilliant movie! :-)

[Heidi]

51. I have to admit . . .

that it was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid.

:loveya: BikeWriter!

[BikeWriter]

56. It was one of my favorite movies, too, Sweety.

Thank you for being here at DU, Heidi. You are a Dear. :)

[Heidi]

57. Right backatcha, darlin'. (nt)

[BikeWriter]

49. That is beautiful!

[Kellanved]

63. uhm

I might be scared by exposure to the song at a young age. (it was the German opening theme of the "Heidi" anime show in the 80s)

:puke:

[Wetzelbill]

52. yeah, I don't really like Heidi all that much...

Sorry, just had to give a different vibe to the thread, you know? :)

Of course, I love Heidi! She's one of the all time greats in my book. Of everything. :)

[Heidi]

53. THANK YOU!

I'm about ready to find and hire DU's most prolific thread-killer to come over here and end this delusional thread. :rofl:

Thank you, 'bill. You know I feel the same way about you. :hug:

[Wetzelbill]

54. oh of course I know you do

:)

[Heidi]

55. PLUS . . .

you're cute. But I'm not at all swayed by physical appearances, dontcha know. I liked your mind and spirit before I evah saw your photo. ;)

[Wetzelbill]

58. aw shucks.....

so who is delusional now? :)

You know, you have this one picture that was posted, that literally made me gasp when I first saw it. Just stunning. But, you already won me over when I found out you were a creative person who painted and so on. I love creative talent. Seems like most women I'm good friends with have some sort of talent like that.

But, yeah, you made me blush, dammit. :)

[Heidi]

59. Own your goodness, 'bill,

inside and outside. That's all I'm sayin'. ;)

[Wetzelbill]

60. well thank you

I'll try to do that. :)

[Sugar Smack]

61. I HAVE to post here.

I adore Heidi. She is positively genuine, beautiful, unique, and has a wonderful imagination. I have to give it up for Heidi.

:yourock:

[Heidi]

62. What a coinkydink!

That's _exactly_ how I feel about my gf, Sugar Smack, she of the beautiful eyes, reddish hair and warrior woman ways. (Thank you, Sugar. :loveya: )

[ghostsofgiants]

64. Heidi is absolutely wonderful

And seems to be quite fond of my hair, so I thank her for that, haha.
