The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsPost 100,000!!!!!! Nothing profound, just heartfelt gratitude and thanks for
this incredible community that has been my sanctuary, my safe haven, my rock, these last 20 years. Thank you to our wonderful EarlG and Elad (and Skinner) for creating this space. And thank you to each and every member of this community for all the learning, the laughter, the joys and sorrows shared, from the most erudite of posts to pets, from heartbreak to truly tacky jokes.
You all have been keeping what little remains of my sanity through this century, through good times, and some truly terrible ones. I love you all!
May you all be blessed.
So mote it be.

(112,160 posts)I have to be considerate of my cat since she needs a place to make biscuits. I did let her claim one of my silk shirts that I bought in the 1990s since it had a tear. I bought the shirt at Ross so it wasn't a financial setback.

(16,784 posts)DU is a wonderful community and you help make it so.
I also feel a sense of pride knowing my contributions get recognized from time to time, or I hear Thom Hartman mention DU on his shows when important topics arise and we are aware of what is happening.
Good onya and have a great day.

(3,325 posts)You said it all, in you're message. DU, is the go to forum for dems. I was desperate for some insight and clarity, in the face of tfg. The things he did from the get go, that displaced my sentiments, from his inaugural address, forward. He alienated me, displaced my understand and broke the sound barrier of my being. I felt so alone. Then I found DU, what an oasis.
niyad, thanks for your post today and all your other ones. They make DU the haven it is for dems.

(4,544 posts)I feel the same about this place. This is the last place I go before I sleep and the first place I go then I wake. I honestly don't know what I'd do without this place, these people. I guess... well, this place keeps me sane in these crazy-ass times. I'm glad you're part of what keeps me sane.
