For those of you who rarely go to the Lounge

Kentuck, a wonderful DUer, has posted a heartbreaking post there. I know that I just happened upon it this morning. He is basically a founding member of DU (since 2001), and he needs support from all of us now.

I bring up the home page, look at Trending, Greatest, Latest Breaking News.

After reading/commenting from these, I may go to "Latest" to try and promote topics that catch my eye. (Please, post writers, make your titles descriptive!).

I don't visit forums specifically. If there's one or two I think are worthwhile (Science, etc.) I'll add it to my subscribe list.

It would be interesting to me to see how others get their DU feeds.

I was telling my husband those of us that have been on this board for over 20 yrs we are like family.
