Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day folks. I've temporarily changed the thumbs up image with a picture of a rose. Since roses seem to be the new currency to curry political favor, perhaps if we give out enough of them then we too can get a spot on national TV as a talking head.

@Raggedy Ann

I thought this might be a joke or something, because I still see the thumb. It’s probably because I’m using an iPad instead of a desktop computer. Oh well...

Enjoy the roses, it sounds delightful.

No change, still displaying the thumb on the ol’ iPad... but no worries, my imagination can fill in the roses.

that is beautiful, but I was vying for the Pelosi effect and a chance to polish a gate or two.

It is ironic that little Nap presented red roses to Pelosi when a red rose is being used as a symbol on Twitter to denote a member of the Socialist Party. I believe it is also used by Corbyn in Britain too.

I love having the rose symbol as our thumbs up. Maybe we should keep it a little longer. Smile

Happy Valentine's Day to you, JtC, and to everyone here. Give rose

maybe a yellow vest as a replacement. I'd like to permanently replace the thumbs up with something more apropos to this site. Any other ideas?

@Anja Geitz @Anja Geitz But that is what I am seeing on Twitter. I will try to research it.

@gulfgal98

I do like the idea of the rose symbolizing love and the petals representing community. So in that sense it makes sense as a symbol for the ideas of Socialism. Personally, while I enjoy all flowers, the rose holds a special allure for me. This increased when I first moved to the San Gabriel valley and began noticing a lot of different roses growing in people's gardens. I'm not an expert by any means, but I do like to go to local rose shows in the area and learn what I can.

Thought I'd contribute to the idea of community by sharing a couple of pictures of my favorite ones.

@Anja Geitz are not my personal favorite flowers, I love Tropicana roses (which are not red), not just for the color but also for their fragrance. But I do love the choice of the rose for the symbol for the Democratic Socialists.
