Jul 2014

One small part in the totality of my life, yet a very important part. I found DU at just the right time. My perception of my personal worth was at an all time low when I found this haven of kindred sprites.
Thank you all.

On Rain Dog.....that hit a little hard. I liked what she said. I truly will miss her voice (posts).

To trumad....I'm jealous, a cigar would probably hulk out my COPD....But G*D I want one....
