This is my post # 90,000!
It took almost 18 years for me to get to this point. (Member since: Tue Nov 9, 2004, 05:03 PM)
It has been a lot of fun. There have been a few surgeries that slowed me down. Three shoulder and two hand.
Speaking of health, I continue to use trazadone for my Frontotemporal Degeneration. In December of 2013 I was told I have FTD and probably had two years of quality life left. FTD is the most common form of dementia for people under age 60. I'll be 66 in January. Each FTD patient time line is different. I'm one of the fortunate ones.
I'm most proud of three things. I started the Labor Group that was later named after me. I'm not as active there since I retired. Raising over 2.4 million dollars for President Biden is another source of pride. I continue to be a host on the DU.
Because of my FTD, odds are I won't be here 18 years from now. That doesn't mean I won't try. I've made a few mistakes here because of my FTD. I'm Sorry.
The DU is the first thing I do in the morning after I take the dogs out. It is usually about the last thing I do at night.
I love this place and it shows.
Peace.

(I joined DU when the John Kerry Campaign Forums went black.
It was a very sad time. I am still a tad pissed at the Kerry Campaign for taking donations for a legal effort to protect the vote (I gave $100 I could hardly afford at the time), but they never did anything afaik, and I still do not know what the funds were used for. To this day I believe a full non-partisan investigation into Ohio that year would have yielded the fruits of corruption.)
Thank you for all the hard work you've done over the years to support this community and through it, this nation. You have helped make this board the great site that it is today.
And yes, I think it's long past time to wrest back the term patriot from the seditious pseudo fascist thugs who make up much of the opposition these days.
I know you, much better than you know me. I'm kind of a "Bizzarro Steve". You have : 90,000 posts while I'd be exaggerating to say I have 9 
and yet this has been my favorite board for close to 15 years. I hope this accentuates how great your accomplishment is.
Thanks,
Bob
You are an incredible person & a fixture -- a DU treasure!
I'm so happy to hear your medication is working so well for you.
I appreciate all you do here, mamaging Act Blue & reporting on that activity, overseeing your Labor Group, hosting, & answering pms. Thank you for all your hard work!
I am looking forward to the next 90k of your posts!
I also want to let you know there is a book called "Your Body Believes Every Word You Say". It has helped me change my words and thoughts for positive results. If you check it out, you may be posting here for 18 years and beyond. The more you know...
And thank you for all you do here!
Also on all your accomplishments. We benefit.
Congratulations!
I'm glad you're doing so well, and thank you for all of the work you do here at DU!
You win the award today!
