I'm reading some interesting things here, in this group, but

not sure if anyone is visiting.
pls let me know if anyone is lurking about, if you want to.

course you could be lurking and not wanting to announce it, which is ok too.

I get 'notified' if someone posts in one of the groups I'm interested in, so I always check to see what's been written. But otherwise I don't check here every day, as it's usually pretty quiet.

Happy New Year to my fellow loners/introverts. Hope you weren't too overwhelmed during the holidays.

from all the enforced togetherness and holiday gaiety. It's a trying time at best for loners.

on xmas (which I don't celebrate not being christian) a friend who does celebrate, always invites a few good, long-time friends.
we cook and share food, talk, if nice day walk.
and that's it.
really nice.
I even went to mass with him on the Eve, bec. I like his church (historic, and friendly people) and bec I like the music.

new Year's I did nothing different than any other day/nite, which is fine with me.

I'll have to begin lurking immediately! Of course I'll not lurk too often, can't have folks thinking I might be stalking the joint. Is it me or does anyone else find the notion of a 'loners group' or of loners grouping together to be ....well oxymoronic... as in if I joined this group, wouldn't I have to give up my loner card and thereby become ineligible to post here?

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.
