How many DU threads do you have "bookmarked"

Do you use that feature much? Do you tend to let it get cluttered like the 27 TV programs on your DVR that you've yet to watch or you've already viewed but just never got around to deleting?

For the record, I have six threads bookmarked currently. I usually keep it pretty tidy. Usually delete most of the new additions within a day or two because new posts generally slow to a trickle after that.

They are all threads that I wanted to re-visit in some way without having to scroll through the archives forever.

I had roughly the same number of threads bookmarked on the old DU. But I don't know how to access it.

email because I can never find it afterwards if I bookmark it. Reminds me of when I watch Bill Maher and try to remember some of his one liners - can never do it. Could be just old age but the collective community of DU always has some good ideas.

Cleaning it up takes to much time. I also blame Dipshit 45 there has been so much I wanted to keep for reference and now it may just be part of our collective memory.

But actually going back to read them or use them for reference as originally intended, not so much.

I'm afraid to even look at this point.

isn't the most appropriate DU screen name you could have chosen if you can't go back and remove some bookmarks?

I bookmark my threads, my husband's, and a few from other important folks that I want to be able to read down the road.

Sometimes I forget which I've bookmarked, so I take a lazy afternoon stroll down my archives! It's fun for me.

The career death pool for members of the current maladministration.

Thanks for asking... I had forgotten about it, since Trumpsky has already outlasted my prediction for his departure on February 9.

Mostly giggle stuff. Then I unbookmark (is that a word??). I probably have about 30 because I've got a broken knee and lots of time to spend; spouse gets tired so I let him pick and choose.

It's a good feature.

give or take.

I take interest in seeing who's still around in some of the more memorable posts.

Your chances are looking pretty good, sinkingfeeling. If you come out on top, see Ptah to collect the money.
