My 5000th post!

and it is on the 10th anniversary of my being an official member of DU! I must have lurked for 2-3 years before I got the guts to sign up and post.

It took me nearly 7 years to get enough courage to post in the lounge… I got over that.

Blows me away.

I am a lame ass poster compared to most. That said, I come here everyday and read so many things. Sometimes there is no need to comment.

Hubby and I are going to an Irish pub with a fireplace for dinner tonite. Cozy, good food, near the river and did I mention… A fireplace?

I told him I am not getting fancy, but I am putting some make up on.

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.
