This is my first thread.

Yesterday was my birthday. I consider the re-election of Barack Obama to be the best birthday gift of my life. I was going to post yesterday, but I was too busy celebrating. Thank you DU for keeping me sane. I plan to give to DU when I get some money ahead.

I like your threads. Scorpios' are special. I recommend some of Van Morrisons later stuff. Good listening.

DU is some good mental therapy...just watch for signs of addiction (too late to save my ass, though)

You all have been great. You got me through a very rough time in a very red Texas. I'm working at it.

I posted this once, but I will explain.
ma is for my first name=Mary
lo is for my middle name=Louise
kvale is for my maiden name=Kvale (Norwegian for whale island)
77 is for an old pager code the guys in the field gave me (this, I'm not telling).

I can't afford DU, but I can't quit it. I'd rather do without food for a day or two than give it up...

but I am responsible for two disabled people in my family, plus my job, as a home healthcare worker, doesn't pay much. I'm pretty thrifty though, so I will contribute as soon as possible. DU is on my list.

sadly for me, i've never been a suckup. self-promotion absolutely. but no fellatio of the bosses.
