General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHow many in GD ever visit the DU Lounge??
I've noticed that it can be a nice respite when the news and the attitudes become too much to cope with here in General Discussion.
It's like taking a short vacation.

(3,569 posts)Used to be a lot more fun but Faceplace kind of took the wind out of its sails. I used to share a lot of music there, but nobody seemed to give a shit anymore so I stopped pretty much.
Almost every day. For the same reasons you listed.

Now, I only get there occasionally. It hasn't been the same since Lucinda dropped out.
hlthe2b
(102,357 posts)i.e., Lucinda decided to "drop" out? Just busy?

(32,088 posts)I see her in the GD every so often, so she isn't gone completely. Just out of C&B.
