82% willingness to serve on a jury...

but never receive a request. Can one of the ATA folks explain?

Edited to Add: When I used to post under my old user name Catabryna, back when you were switching over to DU3, I was getting 7 requests a day. In fact... I was getting them at a rate of about 4 per hour in the morning (Pacific Time).

Are the algorithms messed up? I'm here nearly everyday, all day.

Donald Trump is "AN" Apprentice...

He is so angry right now because, he is the very type of person he berated on his reality show!

Just felt like throwing this out into the universe.

Today is the International Day of Peace...

I could post something snarky, but instead will just put this out here for comtemplation.

Difficulties with Chrome only...

I use my LG tablet with software version VK81526A to visit DU. When I look at the "last date visited" for Democratic Underground in Chrome using the Google search engine, it indicates my last visit "to this webpage" was August 11, 2017. I have posted since then.

Earlier today, we got a bit closer to reality... the date says September 3, 2017, but now we again back to August 11th.

We've been seeing the Jackie Speier post for too long.

Any ideas? Not a total nerd, but not a dunce either.

Wow! Three hours of politic-free news coverage...

Such sweet bliss!

Okay, Oregonians...

Tell us a little about yourself.

I'll go first.

I'm a mom of a high school kid with Autism.

I ride Trimet and Max everywhere, except when I'm walking.

How does a star member access the archives?

I know it is a benefit of being a DU member.

Thanks, in advance.

Fifteen years ago today, I celebrated so much more than another birthday...

It was, also, the day my deceased husband and I picked up our son from one of the most sad settings, ever.. a poor orphanage in Ukraine.

Our trek around that country was the most enlightening experience I have ever participated in. To see what has happened to the country of my child's birth, breaks my heart. To see the tactics used here by trolls, seems so obvious to me.

On the other hand, Vlady Daddy will never be able to get his slimy, scuzzy paws on my kid!

Happy Adoption Day, Alexsei. You are the bestest Birthday present, ever!
