What Would You Do if You Didn't Have DU?

[qwlauren35]

I am so horribly addicted to this place. I really need to take a breather. But I can't seem to remember what I did before I got into DU.

Let's see.
- the backyard garden needs weeding
- I've fallen in love with a new TV series - Murdoch Mysteries - set in Toronto, 1889.
- I'm starting to read again. I love the Sebastian St. Cyr novels.
- There's always blogging, although that's been exhausting lately.
- For some reason, my dollhouse is not calling me, but there's a room I want to do.
- I haven't treated myself to chili in a while.
- I could walk my dog.

And my taxes... I could do my taxes...

1. Probably just spend even more time looking at my Twitter feed!

2. I'm like you. Can't remember what I did before DU!

Yes, I still watch the news shows (everything BUT Pox Noise of course) and I was a news junkie from way back in my younger days when I worked in it.

But DU was a revelation! And I did - and still do - appreciate the live interaction and the round-the-clock news monitoring and commentary. It’s GREATLY helped widen my understanding and perspective, and kept me current, and informed.

And I appreciate the opinions here. So much of that has been so thought-provoking! And it’s given me good talking points to use in my Indivisible work and advocacy.

3. Probably would have finished the book I'm working on.

Not that it would be good but it would be finished.

9. o please finish it!!!. i wrote a short story.

[CTyankee]

16. Yeah, I gotta finish mine, too, but I have made some needed revisions and I'm glad about that.

I'll prolly publish in June but I have a 10 day trip to Nice and North Africa so it may be later..

And other cam model websites.

Maybe it's my age.

8. when i found du , it was a blessing . even though i have liberal friends , there are ppl i dont discuss

politics with . period.

10. Except for this morning's fun, plenty of hobbies, a long to-do list, and usually outdoor chores.

Taking a break from the broken and fallen branches and leveling of a 20 ft. By 20 ft. area. for a ground level deck.

My usual plan of attack is to take a look at DU in-between said hobbies and chores.

Today was too much fun. I “overdid” my DU quota.
Not supposed to be political here, so I’ll shorten the message of the day (and year)

These things are beyond our control or influence. But we can succeed despite them.

Control/influence what you can. The rest is like sports talk radio. Anything said before a game is meaningless, and anything said after it is pointless.

Courts have repeatedly failed but the ballot box has succeeded.

15. OMG!!!

I love that analogy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meaningless before and pointless after.

There is nothing I hate more than sports talk. It just amazes me that a bunch of washed up football players can sit around and try to anticipate what's going to happen, or dissect it long after it's over.

And yet, some people LOVE IT!!!! Some people love to listen to the predictions and hash over the events. For hours, on multiple channels. Heck, there are entire TV cable channels devoted to this.

I love your analogy!!!

There's a hobby for everyone. For some it's DU, for some it's football. For some it's both. For some, it's something else entirely.

12. just opened my livingroom winder . letting in som , cough, cough fresh air to air out the place after a wild

and wooly weekend weather event here .

13. I'd probably have a cleaner house.

DU has made me a procrastinator.

[electric_blue68]

17. I'd probably do even more art, crafts. Or find another Dem leaning site. But so glad I remembered you in ?'21 since....

I've been into politics for about 57 yrs.

Reading opinions, getting good info, cheering great, good news, commiserating over bad news.
👍👍👍

And having fun in The DU Lounge. 😄🧡

18. I wouldn't call it 'addicted,' qwlauren35, it's FRIENDS!

combined with 'my' river, nearby photos, news, and fb friends (yes, family, college, high school, and other hobbyists.)
