"Don't be shy, say hello to someone you don't know" thread
If you see someone without a reply to their post (or someone you've been dying to meet)...you know what to do! Hit that reply button.
Live a little - it's the lounge. :silly:

Now, who can I introduce you to? :party: :toast: :hi:

1. Hi
I just joined DU about 2 weeks ago, so I don't know many people on here at all. I've never met you, so- how ya doing? I like your posters.

2. Welcome to DU richmwill!
DU is a big place but the lounge is a good place to practice before taking on GD (General Discussion) ;). You probably haven't seen me because things move so fast here in the lounge!

Glad you like the posters...you should see some of the others (follow link in my sig line)! Doing great tonight, thanks! How 'bout you? :hi:

4. Good
I'm doing ok. I like DU alot so far. And you're right, I am hanging out in the Lounge for the most part. I should be going to bed soon, though- work tomorrow, ugghh. I was fortunate enough to miss 3 weeks (car accident), but now it's time to go back.

Sorry to hear about the car accident - 3 weeks? Sounds serious, richmwill. Wishing you health and prosperity! :D

23. Thanks
As I told my friends- it'll take more than that to get me out! :D

They were just (I would assume) basic car-accident injuries. Bump on top of head with nasty welt, injuries to neck, back, ribs and right hand. I still get headaches and neck-aches just about every single night, but hopefully they'll end soon- taking ibuprofen for them now.

42. Hello Taverner
Taverns are good places, as are bars and pubs. I understand Barer or Puber wouldn't sound so great.

San Francisco is great! Everyone hates pResident *, our mayor is too progressive for his own party, the Green party is viable here, and nothing pisses off the right-wing fundies more than SF.

It's a hell of a place to live, but someone has to do it! :D

I actually snagged the graphic from Roger Dean's website and resized it to maintain some semblance of resolution...

so, yeah... I guess it's custom to a degree. I doubt Skinner has any YES avatars in the ready-made gallery.

Congratulations on 1000 posts. I have a LONG way to go. Good to meet you though- how's everything in Oklahoma? You're actually, I think, the very first Oklahoman (is that the word?) that I've ever talked to.

I was back in Australia in February and everyone was amazed at how I haven't lost my Aussie accent.
I think they were all expecting me to sound like Greg Norman. (Aussie golfer who sounds American)

I'm hoping I don't lose it as it's who I am.

56. Yipppeeee! 700!
Yes, that' it! I'll get rich! Nice lovely wonderful money fleeced from little old ladies.
But how do I, a poor little progressive drone, put my principles aside?
Nahhh. I'll just go home and play with the kid.

106. we have some friends who live there, too
We missed their wedding last year and I was seriously bummed, since I have always wanted to visit SF.

Once I see how the logistics and time-frame work, I will be glad for any info. Thanks! :hi:

78. Hi bigwillq!
Nice to meet you! I've read your posts many times but never really had an opportunity to say hello...

I figured we could all use a little practice with the 'reply' button. When I first joined DU, many people just jumped into a thread to say hello and commiserate - so I've been missing that here in the lounge! Thanks for jumping in here, let's not be strangers!

:hi: :yourock:

83. HI!
How are you doing? I'm ok tonight. My computer has crashed three times already and I had to reboot. I'm at my boyfriend's house and he's sleeping and I'm really bored so I hope it doesn't crash again.

I try not to be a stranger to anyone and I try to repsond to all threads I find somewhat interesting.

Lately, I'm a lounge lizard. Was a big GD and GD2004 Primary now 2004 election junkie but I'm sick of all the flame wars and just want to have fun relaxed convo.

90. nobody loves me
I'm gonna go eat some worms.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepards the weak through the valley of darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengance upon you."

To everybody... I don't know if there is anyone in particular I would like to say hi to because I enjoy just about everyone here.
BTW, my name is Johnnie, I live in Ohio and I have been at DU for over a year. I kill many threads and I'm proud of it. Good thing I have some self-esteem. Have a good week!
