This is my one thousandth post on DU -- so I finally have achieved that all-elusive 'THREAD CRED'!
I thought I'd mark the occasion by sending out a :hi: to my DU family!
Over the course of my association with the DU posters, I have experienced more :rofl: than I can recount. I have seen some of the wittiest one-liners right here on DU, and appreciate the sharing of laughter in such trying times for all of us who are concerned about our beloved country.
I have also been brought to :cry: more than a few times; I have often logged-on in the wee hours, to see posters sharing their sense of loss due to a family death; I have seen people asking to have a relative or neighbour remembered in prayers, because they are on their way to Iraq, or have just come home, broken and damaged.
The feeling of :pals: is often overwhelming, and I have a sense of family every time I visit the site.
Some of the most brilliant :think: ideas are born right here in the Discussion Threads. I often wonder why we Democrats have ever lost an election, with such great minds at work! :shrug:
The Administrators here at DU deserve much praise, which perhaps is not expressed often enough. They have created not just a website, but a family setting :grouphug: that provides a place to exchange thoughts and ideas, and an inviting atmosphere that fosters understanding between we Democrats -- even when we have very different views :spank:
So here's a heartfelt thank you to everyone, to all of my new-found on-line friends, and to those friends I have yet to meet! :toast:
