Psst...Hey guys, do you know what today is?
It's my six month anniversary on DU. Six month ago today I finally registered, after lurking for years, and almost 8000 posts later, I'm still going strong.

What a long strange trip it has been.

I just wanted to thank you all for such a memorable journey...:party:

5. Chalk it up to being single, living in New England
registering just before the start of winter, and not liking T.V.

Beside, I can think of a few other DUers who have had a lot more posts in a lot less time.

Springs coming, so that's good.

I just made so many friends here, I just can't tear myself away some nights...

19. Well, at least I've posted a few substantial things about Art
Photography and Bob Dylan, so I guess I got a lot of mileage out of those things.

Maybe one of these days I'll actually say something serious and political...we'll see...

Edited on Tue Apr-05-05 07:28 PM by Longgrain
But then again there were a couple of weeks where I didn't post at all (or at least not as much).

And besides, DU has it all, why bother posting anywhere else.

38. well, i guess its not that much when you consider...
alot of posts can be all like:

"you're schmoopy"
"no, you're schmoopy."
"you're schmoopy"
"no, you're schmoopy."
"you're schmoopy"
"no, you're schmoopy."
"thank you"
"you're welcome. but you're more schmoopy than me."
"no, you are."
"no, you're schmoopy."
"you're schmoopy"

etc...

but its all good = they ain't no thing like a chicken wing

I've been lurking for months and months...and congrats, you, BTW. The thing is, I'm more a hunt-and-pecker than I am someone who uses her pinkies to type. So, by six-month anniversary, I may be up to 800 posts. Wish me luck, will ya?
