And I agree with you about this place. Over the years DU has helped me make some serious decisions. It expands your life in the sense that you become part of a very large community of people you can trust for the most part. Its a go to site for just about everything under the sun.
Everyone fits in, no matter what they do in life. Nowhere else can I listen to veterans, doctors, professors and professionals of every kind and feel like Im treated like an equal. As an artist it is the one place in my life where I can share my art and have it appreciated by thousands of people instead of having it locked up in a closet, just gathering dust. And I no longer have family, so DU helps a lot. Du is my family.
