That's a good thing and somewhat of a rarity lately IMHO.

This is a great board. There are disagreements here and there, but most people seem to get along pretty well. This post just reminded me that I never did one introducing myself. This is my 1,000th post so it's a little late for that now. Oops!

Welcome to the Center of the Goddamned Universe.

NO, I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. Every post you make here will be SCRUTINIZED by every sentient multiverse species FOREVER.

So just let fly. Tell us something incriminating about yourself that no one else knows.

Waiting...

I googled with no success.

I finally figured it was "kicked and recommend" to get the thread more exposure.

The real puzzler was "eom"----with which i have a strong association to "end of mpnth". I figure here it means "end of message".

I feel like I've found my peeps. I'm from LA (lower Alabama). I'm a middle-aged white male who voted for Obama when it counted---- the primaries in 2008. Of course he got my vote in both generals.

It's been tough these two years. I'm wrecked with white guilt. I only have like three friends because I'm an introvert. My only black friend died, and I feel this crushing desire to tell all PoC I meet, "We're not all like that." I attended the "Families belong Together" rallies. I'm apalled by the kid concentration camps.

I hope that doesn't sound too pathetic. I don't mind being an introvert. But I think I have to own the white guilt. As long as there is white privilege and I'm not SHOUTING to change it. I own that guilt. Of course I will vote for change, and quietly reason for change. But I hope to find a more active voice.

Hope you will like it here!
I remember when I first found DU, it was like stumbling upon an oasis after that horrible election. You will meet many interesting & wonderful people here, just remember to be considerate & respectful to them and they will treat you that way too. Welcome aboard jcsg

28. Welcome. Here are some rules you have to follow:

1. Casual Friday is mandatory. On Fridays you may only post on DU if you wear a funny T-Shirt.

2. Please enunciate the words loud and clearly when posting, as some people on DU are hard of hearing.

3. You should be aware that there is a paragraph in the "Terms & Conditions" that if you don't use correct grammar, DU gets your couch.

I wondered what it was that made you join?

For me it was the nightmare of the Bush years.

I stayed around for the popcorn though.
