How many in GD ever visit the DU Lounge??

[kentuck]

I've noticed that it can be a nice respite when the news and the attitudes become too much to cope with here in General Discussion.

It's like taking a short vacation.

1. But the fee for entry is cat videos.

[kentuck]

3. :-)

[bdamomma]

4. we love our pets

cats and dogs

[crazycatlady]

13. here you go

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. I LOL every time I see that video.

How do such tiny animals make so much noise?

[trueblue2007]

20. did you say CAT VIDEOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Cat Betrayed His Girlfriend

[Demovictory9]

26. lol. true. but that's the entry fee for the internet overall

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. I don't really visit an area - just look at what is posted in latest threads and go wherever they

lead me.

[Glorfindel]

5. I do...every day. You're right; it is a welcome break from the real world.

Though, to be honest, I never watch the cat videos. I'm not a "cat person."

[ghostsinthemachine]

6. I do, but as much as I did...

Used to be a lot more fun but Faceplace kind of took the wind out of its sails. I used to share a lot of music there, but nobody seemed to give a shit anymore so I stopped pretty much.

[Leith]

7. I Do

Almost every day. For the same reasons you listed.

[rurallib]

8. try to make it the last thing I do every night before bed

helps take the edge off.

[hibbing]

9. All the time

I always find something interesting. Plus like everyone, good to break from the idiotic liar in the White House.

Peace

[Kittycow]

10. I do for my mental health!

[bobbieinok]

11. Totally agree, I go there AND post there for respite.

[xmas74]

12. I was a Lizard

During its heyday. I took a break from DU and when I came back none of my old friends were posting. I've tried to interact but I'm no longer part of that clique.

[Kali]

30. there aren't any clicques anymore (and they were a big negative sometimes)

but a lot of the old timers are gone, that is true.

[sl8]

15. Kindly note that some Lounge members will be unable to respond your posts between noon and 5 PM, ...

... due to prior commitments.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. That's the drunkest-looking cat I've ever seen on the internet.

[hlthe2b]

41. Not fair to include my doppelganger!

That is truly how I feel most of the time, lately...

[hlthe2b]

16. DU Lounge, PETS, and Cooking & Baking offer a bit of respite!

[GoCubsGo]

24. I used to visit C&B religiously.

Now, I only get there occasionally. It hasn't been the same since Lucinda dropped out.

[hlthe2b]

40. why did that occcur?

i.e., Lucinda decided to "drop" out? Just busy?

[GoCubsGo]

42. I beleive she has had some health issues.

I see her in the GD every so often, so she isn't gone completely. Just out of C&B.

[hlthe2b]

44. Oh, so sorry to hear that.

My healing thoughts go out to Lucinda!

[H2O Man]

18. Recommended.

I have, from time to time. I've even gone so far as to comment on a few OPs. I get a kick out of the humor there.

[phylny]

19. I don't.

As much as I feel like I'm not one of the "in crowd" here, it's triple there

[elleng]

32. NO, phylny,

please visit! I often post from my radio station! Here's the playlist: https://weta.org/fm/playlists

[nolabear]

21. Not the way I once did. Lots of old friends gone.

It’s still a lovely place but it’s not so much my place any more. Here’s to it, though. It’s much needed.

[Different Drummer]

22. I go on DU Lounge at least once a week.

There are also some groups I like. Indulging in those helps when things get a bit grim here.

[GoCubsGo]

23. Not as often as I should.

I used to hang out there a lot. Been trying to make an effort to get back more often. I'll read stuff, but I don't post much there these days.

[GoCubsGo]

27. I take that back.

I visit EVERY Sunday to see SalmonChanted vening's "LOLCats." Always good for a smile and lots of aaawwwzzz!!!, and often, a huge chuckle.

[MineralMan]

28. I tried a couple of times, several years ago, but was made to feel unwelcome

Immediately, so I left and never returned.

[Polly Hennessey]

29. Often.

[Bleacher Creature]

31. Only during happy hour. I like the 2 for 1 specials. NT

[stevil]

33. Am I the only one

That has Latest threads as my default setting?

[defacto7]

34. Whenever an interesting subject pops up.

[Awsi Dooger]

35. Not as frequently as a decade ago

That forum had 4 or 5 new pages per day at one point. Now maybe half to one.

[Wounded Bear]

36. I do, quite a bit, even though I hate cats...

[Awsi Dooger]

39. I hate cats also

And I assumed it was consensus among sharp thinkers. First time I visited that forum I honestly thought the threads were in jest.

[Iggo]

37. Every day.

My DU "house" has about a dozen rooms that I visit pretty much every day.

[tavernier]

38. I get snubbed there as often as I get snubbed in GD.

And Breaking News

And State forums.

And crocheted booties in the Craft Forum.

But at least they feed you. Awesome recipes!!!

[CTyankee]

43. It IS like a short vacation from Dump and his enablers...

altho it is fun in and of itself.

But now more than ever...
