I want to thank all of DU for helping me remain sane while our country has been falling on its face for several years.
DU is my primary news portal and gallery of friendly voices to discuss all the happenings in the world.

Many thanks to you & all here for keeping us sane!

(77,280 posts)I'm closing in on 50k myself! Well, sort of closing in.
At 10-15 posts per day, I'm really about 5 months from it! LOL!
But, congrats on hitting 50,000.
And, I'm in agreement with your post, too!

(103,810 posts)I almost missed it because I don't often look at my post count.
And thanks. This has been a place of refuge during many transitions I have been through in the past several years from relocating to being homeless and back to living like normal people, DU has always been there for me when I needed to catch up on what's going on and the personal moral support has meant more than I can articulate properly.

(77,280 posts)I post more now that I'm retired, though.
If I posted at that rate my whole 20 years here, I'd be pushing 80k.
I guess I was a slacker for 17 years!!!
2naSalit
(103,810 posts)I retired about three years ago and that was when I really started posting a lot. Otherwise, I'd be at something like 25k, maybe.
And the former guy's placement in the Oval Office really fired me up.
I had to look, I'm coming up on nine years.

(103,810 posts)I thank you so very much for posting a daily collection of my favorite thing, political cartoons. They really are what I seek out first every day.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
