The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsToday I become an octogenarian.
It's been a long project.
I started working on it August 22, 1941.
I used a leaf blower to blow out the candles and then the smoke alarm went off.
happy birthday, geezer!

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.
