The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsWell it's official. I've spent nearly half my life with you losers.
It appears as though 13 of my 27 years, I've been a member of this forum (since 2001, yikes). Just wanted to check in and say hello! I don't recognize a lot of your names but I'm glad the Lounge is still in good/evil hands. Until my next post 5 years down the line...

(14,746 posts)We had a diff version of DU back in the day... I swear I had more posts on the old forum than that.

(58,620 posts)I changed my handle when the new DU went up.
But I've actually never posted much more than you have.

I know I didn't have my password memorized or written down during the changeover, and since the site assigns them and doesn't let you change, I had to generate the new ID.

(8,217 posts)Since I let a lot of things slide, and I just don't feel as strongly as some, and even when I do, I tend to look at it from a distance.
So, it tends to leave me with little to say.

I have been many places since graduating high school, though these days I'm recovering from a kidney transplant at home in Brooklyn. Not so small town anymore heh?

(66,307 posts)I'm still here. Not many of us 2001-ers left. I can't believe you're 27! Where did the time go?
For me, it's been nearly one-third of my life. A lot has happened since that day in March, 2001 that I found this place, and discovered a glimmer of hope amidst the sorrow of a stolen election and the horror of an astoundingly unqualified President. Back then, none of us knew how bad it soon was going to get.
But we made it. We're well into the second term of a President who will remembered as one of the greats. And I'm still here...

It really feels like forever ago that I discovered this place. We have made it through but I can't say I'm much of an Obama gal these days, truthfully. Of course I am still on the left side of the equation, but it's all gotten a bit confusing trusting anybody to do the right thing.

(66,307 posts)you might at least draw comfort from the fact that at least he is qualified to not do right by the American people.
If it's one thing I can't stand, it's someone without the proper credentials...
