My Milestone - 1/3 of my life at DU

Without giving away the exact days. I'm 65 and I have now been on D.U. for 1/3 of my lifetime.

I've said it before after we were offline for while - there is no substitute

As I, too, am 65, when we were born there were only 48 stars on the U.S. flag!

I’ve been looking at DU since 2004, but didn’t join until much later

Never dreamed that I'd still be here, or that DU would, 22 years later.

I started at age 19 in 2003 and here I am today, nearly 40. It’s such a great site.

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.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
