So I finally made it back

I've been locked up in DU2 for a long time! Skinner sent in a brave team of warriors to drag me out of the old lounge. I escaped with minimal injury. Thanks to all who left me water, pillows and blankets, wine, and a little refer. (and a damned duck that had tape stuck to its feathers...)


I sure missed you guys!!!

I recently started posting again after a very, very long break. I've been lurking and watching on occasion during the years, but refrained from any social media. This is my trial run back into the cyberworld.

Maybe in 'his' absence and for all the DUers trapped in DU2 land, we should raise a shot of Grey Goose to them!

Your tenure here predates mine.

Curious about the backstory relating to your username, "backtoblue." Were you once a, gasp, Republican? Or perhaps you wore jumpsuit orange for a period and were finally able to shed that attire?

Do tell!

Welcome back!

hence, backtoblue. Democrat my entire life in a very, very red district. I quit all social media for many years to focus solely on my career and being mom.

I see a lot of parents today sitting or standing on the sidelines or pushing a stroller while constantly fiddling with their smartphones/tablets.

Mom first, career second and back to the DU when the time is right. You have your priorities in order!
