2. Oh, I completely know what you mean. I always go with the given subject line, avoids duplicates for one thing

But I have gotten insults here just based on the subject line. Meidas Touch is the worst, they're obviously looking for attention. When they started, I got rid of all the CAPITAL LETTERS, but I finally just went with their chosen title. I often mess with the descriptions, though. I don't know who writes these, but there are typos, misspellings, and since it used to be my job to write these, I fix them up - or if a video doesn't have a description, I usually write my own.

And I sure hope that you're hanging in there these days. Since I spend time on DU and watch the news, I can get pretty depressed - so I take a break before I go to bed, usually watch something amusing on television.

Hang in there, my friend! I keep telling myself that what we're going through now can't last forever. I just wish I had my grandmother to talk to these days. She had a rough time, her mother died when she was 13 and my grandfather died quite suddenly of a heart attack just past her 40th birthday, leaving her with 4 young kids, my youngest uncle wasn't even in school yet. But she persevered, got them moved into a house they'd just bought, went back to work and made sure that all her kids had an education (she used to be a teacher).

So I try to be like her, though I know I never will make it, but I try.

3. I tell myself the same thing, Rhiannon12866.

Nothing lasts forever. Not even the donald. That mantra has helped me through some dark and/or frustrating political times.

NOTHING lasts forever. Not even YOU, donald.

5. Thank heavens! Though I can't help wondering how many decades it'll take to resurrect the U.S. government

6. I was a mod twice, an LBN mod in 2007 and then a general mod for the last year or two till DU.3

And I know what you mean, I liked being a mod since I got to know others here and it's much the same with MIRT. Despite the purpose of disposing of Spammers and Trolls, I still think it's the friendliest forum on DU. And it's a good feeling to spare those on the board of these irritants.

And, despite having several well known members over the years, I still feel pretty safe on DU. And it's certainly run well, between DU.1 and DU.4 everything has been an improvement, including everything that's happened in between. The admins really know their stuff and I trust them. And it's also been a learning journey for me. I'd always voted, mostly for Democrats, but it took 9/11 to wake me up.

I was in my dentist's chair in Albany, NY on that day when all hell broke loose. I think I was there for X-Rays, went there with my mother, but I was left alone in a chair in a room with a TV on CNN showing that second plane hitting the World Trade Center over and over. I walked out of there thinking the world was about to end, and that's when I started watching the news for more than the weather report and in early 2006 a friend told me about DU.

And we do worry about bots, but I think that even I am beginning to recognize them. I worked on a computer for my job, but it was a closed system. So I've really only been online since 2002 so I'm not computer savvy, but I can find my way around DU at this point.
