Do we still have Happy Hour in the Lounge?

AKA "The Attitude Adjustment Hour".

We used to, back in the olden days.
There was a jukebox.
And a long mahogany bar with really comfortable bar stools.
I think there were snacks, like pretzels and peanuts?
(Just throw the shells on the floor.)
I dunno...it was a long time ago.

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.
