Hi! I have 10 posts!

Hi Everyone!

So my first thread is on such an awesome day!

But, i have been embroiled in an epic facebook battle with my tea-bagger cousin (I didn't realize until recently she was this way).
It has been exhausting and kind of fun (because I appear to be winning, one of her comments was "blah blah blah" the other was "they skew their data" (when I had presented data on crime rates being down) - but I haven't enjoyed the glow of this amazing win (and I am from MN where we also did the right thing on marriage equality and voter ID).

I will now go back to basking in the glow mostly lurking (and actually I really need to get some work done).

1. Welcome Jen,

You will love it here. I mostly lurk as well, it keeps me sane. I've been here for over 10 years but you wouldn't know it by my low post count.

2. me too!

I've been here 10 years too! I found this place the day Wellstone died and I was searching for news. I just started posting last week. I may continue to stay in lurking form though We'll see.
Thanks for the welcome!

5. Me, too!

I've been here since 2001, and never once have I thought: 'you know, I could be doing something better with my time...'

This place saved my sanity during the awful B*sh years.

I have a regular feature in the DU Lounge, if you'd like to take a look at it. It is William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day; posted on the weekends. My journal has past editions. Hope you'll take a look...

Good to have you here.

6. great

I will check out your thought for the day.
I agree with your statement about never thinking "I could be doing something better with my time."
Thanks!
