Hi! New here

[Chi67]

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I’m a man who happens to be gay from Chicago. It’s hard to find forums online that are decent these days, but this looks like a great one! Also, I work in advertising and am an ice hockey goalie. Looking forward to good, thoughtful discussions! 😊

Everyday EarlG, one of DU's founders posts "Anniversaries and Posting Milestones". I am gob smacked everyday at the number of individuals who have been active members for over 20 years, and even the ones 5, 10, 15 plus years.

31. Welcome to DU, we need more hockey fans.

I am a long time hockey fan going back to the Big Bad Bruins of the 1970’s and since. I was a big Tony Esposito fan bud did not like his brother Phil of Chicago Blackhawk fame. I was crushed when the Bruins traded Espo for Brad Park and others.

Welcome

[1WorldHope]

32. Welcome. I'm not an old timer on this site. But since I started reading the DU,

I couldn't stop. I'm a retired sign language interpreter. I have too much time on my hands compared to when I was working
But I enjoy at least 2 hours a morning on DU. A little more in the afternoon... My only warning is be aware of the potential for addiction. 😜. 🤟
