This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by ellisonz (a host of the DU Community Help forum).

I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself. Democratic Underground looks like a good place to pick up new ideas, test my opinions and maybe learn a little bit.

I've been married for fifteen years, I have three amazing boys and I've been working in my career field for 20 years.
Not sure what else to say except that I plan on being an active and useful member here.

If you have any questions, fire away.

I've been a member almost 8 years. Yeah, next month, 8 years.

I've made many friends, some overseas, and more than a few are now 'real' life friends too...

Being here has expanded my world view so much. I've learned a lot about politics and economics and history.

I really hope your experience will do as much for you!

Welcome to DU.

My only words of advice: Some people are mean to new members, don't let it get to you if you find yourself attacked.
