Things well with me just not the country. Otherwise, I'm here lurking pretty much every day.

I'm not good at posting attachments and such and usually by the time i figure it out someone else has done it. Trying not to get down about the dire state were in. Very disheartening how so many people refuse to believe what they see. Otherwise, family is good and trying to keep up with the bullshit being flung at us daily. A lot of it is designed to demoralize us and it does wear on a person. Grateful for all the posters here that provide so much more insight than any of my regular news sources.

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.
