Meet Shadow_Goddess!

This is a very proud Mom moment for me!

Many Veteran DU members may remember a few posts over the years about my daughter's political upbringing. It started when she was four. She said she didn't like George W. Bush because "he sent Daddy away (to Iraq)". She loved Obama and cried with me when Hillary lost.

She has grown into an intelligent, independent and outspoken young lady. She begins her Senior year of High School this year.

She joins us today as new DUer Shadow_Goddess. Please welcome her!

Yes there are a few of us "Demorats" here in Repubbiecon hell.

To be a liberal Deadhead here is a hoot!

Driving my lady's old Dodge hippie van, and using slang like Right On,Far Out or Doooood they look at us like we are from Mars.

Great fun.

I use "groovy" in official company emails all the time.

They had their chance to make me cut my hair 19 years ago when they hired me but they didn't so they're stuck with me now.

Thank you guys for all the support! And my name is quite literally just a gamer tag I came up with on the spot that I now use for everything, but I'm glad you like it!

How people choose their names is a fascinating subject.

In my case, a few years ago I pitched my small tent in a prime spot within a small campground along the Des Moines River. By Thursday night I was flanked by massive RVs. Most certainly, others that rolled in coveted my spot. At some point, one of the RV campers laughed at my comparatively primitive setup and remarked that I was "just a damn slumcamper." And so I am.

Welcome aboard!

I love it when young people join us! I’m one of the older people here but I truly enjoy smart young people! I want to see us Baby Boomers start handing the reins to younger people, but I hope to be appreciated for my experience!

Be sure to give us your young perspective with an unabashed lack of restraint. Give us your generational point of view with candor. We are all able to (well, we should be anyway) take criticism in stride, adapt, and evolve. Call balls and strikes. Let us know when we are off base. And learn from our experience as well, but don’t do so without applying your own critical thinking. Together, we all can overcome and learn.

Thank you for joining!

how's your summer going?

don't forget to check out the lounge

(awake, a number of years ago my kid joined du -- i'm sure it was at my request. she could have been a junior or senior in h.s at the time. but she was more interested in facebook. she probably posted twice. i don't even remember what her du name was. she hasn't been on fb for years now either. fb lead to texting and now she tweets. ) (life is so diverse!)

(i'm just glad she's still politically interested... and a liberal!)
