The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI miss madfloridian.
She was one of the regular Florida posters that always kept a presence on DU. She can still be found on DU2, but it was nice to see her name turn up in the mix. Made the place feel more familiar.
Did we lose anyone else? How about formercia? Anyone seen him around? Truman?

(28,799 posts)in fact i just mentioned that last night.

(41,358 posts)Would make the transition easier.
NYC_SKP
(68,644 posts)...I think it more likely than not that she will, in her own time.
The Backlash Cometh
(41,358 posts)We have crossed over.
russspeakeasy
(6,539 posts)Her posts were thoughtful and well written. The new forum doesn't give her the latitude her messages require.
The Backlash Cometh
(41,358 posts)What did people find objectionable about her material? I found it all to be spot on.

(3,128 posts)They were factual, well researched, and timely--also very well written. She is a gem!
OriginalGeek
(12,132 posts)but I doubt I am good replacement (nor would I want to be) for Madfloridian.
But if it helps, I'll try to get some mad up every now and again.
DAMN TOURISTS!
The Backlash Cometh
(41,358 posts)where people are customarily treated like a bait ball.
In fact, they're the only ones this state is made for.
Them and the sharks.
madinmaryland
(64,933 posts)He spends a lot of time over him the sports forum on DU3.
The Backlash Cometh
(41,358 posts)But only one madfloridian.

(16,172 posts)if you had a governor like ours along with a repukelian legislature that is hell bent on destroying the state
while stuffing as much cash in their pockets as they can before leaving, you'd be mad too.
amuse bouche
(3,657 posts)But what is DU2? The old place? Sorry I'm confused, I thought we had to move here
I love MF and fellow Floridian and would love to see her
Curmudgeoness
(18,219 posts)It is just a rumor that it still exists.
Welcome aboard.
pssst: Keep this a secret, but we didn't HAVE to move here. It was just "suggested".

Curmudgeoness
(18,219 posts)You don't have a star, believe me, there are still a lot of ads over there.

(18,705 posts)This is a secret now.
Curmudgeoness
(18,219 posts)But please don't tell anyone else or they might run out.

progressoid
(49,991 posts)Actually, I used to eat Albertson's chocolate chip cookies with Henry's Dark back in the day.
OriginalGeek
(12,132 posts)all of them.
Vienna fingers? Pale ale.
Tollhouse? Young's Chocolate stout.
Oatmeal? Oatmeal stout!
Oatmeal raisin? Yuck - why would anyone eat raisins on purpose. But if I had to then a Magic Hat #9 would help me forget about it.
Thin mints? Guinness! maybe even more so if it's an Irish Car Bomb.
Snickerdoodles? I bet a Red Hook ESB would fit that nicely.
But, to be fair, I will drink a beer with anything.

(14,887 posts)I was out of touch for a few weeks - moving, re-settling, getting new wi-fi, lousy connection, computer virus, computer clean up...... April was a lost month for me. I thought once you followed the 'suggestion' the DU2 door was slammed shut.
Curmudgeoness
(18,219 posts)There are some die-hards who have stayed, and some people flip back and forth---I see them here and there.
And since I lost my star, I love to go over there, where I still have one!

(1,524 posts)I also miss the journal links on the right side of the old homepage which is how I discovered a lot of her writings (and a lot of other interesting journal entries by other posters too). Feels a lot more sterile here.
The Backlash Cometh
(41,358 posts)And, so there will be a subtle attrition taking place.
Something new will pop up on the internet eventually.
amuse bouche
(3,657 posts)and posting on the other so called mythical site
I was searching for something and up it popped. People post there
It is not a mirage. I would post a link but it is probably not allowed
A banner pops up there and says it is not supported by DU admin and please click here for new place
Send me a message if you want 'more'

(41,358 posts)I just had to look into the mirror and say "candy man" three times.
emsimon33
(3,128 posts)and I do a search on her name when I get time just to try to keep up. Why isn't she on the current DU?
emsimon33
(3,128 posts)in the search area in the top right of the screen, enter Madfloridian (make sure the search is set at "site search" and not "web search," and press the search button. Then select one of her journal entries.
Here is one from Saturday:
