Today is my 20 year DU anniversary!! [View all]

I'm not the most prolific poster here, but that wasn't why I joined. I was looking for like-minded people who had information and perspective to share. It took me a few years to finally throw some money at this crazy forum, (I miss gravel bot, I think) but I do not regret any of it. It helped me feel not so alone when I was living in red upstate NY. Since then I've lived in Atlanta, Virginia(NoVa) and now I'm in Maryland.

Thank you, DU for being a part of my life!!

Also: F*ck off to the GOP a billion times more than in 2004.
