Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHey ya'll
Im John from TN, and glad to be here. I've been a fan and reader for a long time, and just recently decided to jump in. Not into the social networking thing, but this is different. Seems like a safe place with like minded people all rowing the boat in the same direction. Anyway, keep up the good fight and remember Left is right, right is wrong

We need smart folks to talk to. We pretty much row in the same direction, except for The Primary Season. Things get pretty hot when people back different candidates for the Presidency (all Democrats, of course!).
Again, Welcome!

(58,647 posts)When you click on smilies, there is an additional menu button on the bottom right. It has an ellipsis on it. Click that and you'll see the donkey and a bunch of other smilies.

(13,869 posts)I was born in Tenn and grew up in SC, so be prepared to be called (indirectly) a toothless hillbilly who has ruined the country, as in all Southerners being blamed for the solid GOP South.
But a lot of good people here and if you learn to use the Ignore function you should enjoy it.

(They took down the Alice Cooper vid I used to use as a board "greeter," so I hope the Rodney Bewes vid will be sufficient.)
Thx
