Stick around here. We have our moments so you just have to find your way of knowing when to hold them and when to fold them. Not every thread is a siren call to drain you of your energy. Pick and choose. There's a lot of laughter and hope here within these walls.

You owe yourself some camaraderie and peace of mind. Your generation had 9/11, mine had JFK's assassination. Some events change everything. But people here do want to hold you up when you're down.

Welcome to DU.
