He doesn't do computer stuff at all. He checks the weather. That's it.

Not anymore.

I spent most of my time reading rather than posting and was gone for a while when I was just mad at the whole world but I always come back.

So much information and interesting dialog here that even if I do not post too much I sure learn a lot.

I agree, it would be hard not to have this home away from home here. (not even mentioning the friends you make)

It's a problem, but I'm not quitting. The 2000 election catastrophe in Florida brought me here. I lurked for a few years before joining, and never left. Just had my 18th anniversary! I don't post a lot, but I check in every day for news, kitteh lulz on Sunday, cool science stuff, dinner ideas.... I could go on!

DU is the BEST and I love you all!

It is in part assurance that folks who have not lost their minds, folks who look for evidence and facts, arrive at thoughts and conclusions that inform and make sense to me.
Without that, if I were surrounded by MAGAts, I might be going nuts.
