Just crossed the threshold, here to say 'Hi.'
HI All,
Just recently crossed the 10 posts threshold and wanted to say 'Hi' from Northeast IL. Sure do appreciate the intelligent discussion and great variety of topics of interest here. What an awesome virtual backyard fence. This place really became my refuge during the election. Happy to hang out here with so many like-minded folks now that the worst is over!

I hope you will stick around, and have a good time. There are many forums and groups to explore....see the tab at the top of the page.
Sounds like a dance, doesn't it?
"Hope you like it here." Cha-cha-cha...
"This is a great site." Cha-cha-cha...

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.
