Just a simple Thanks

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

Im not a huge poster, but have finally made it to the 4-digit club and just wanted to say thanks to DU.

I may not post a lot, but I am on here everyday, for hours usually. Its my one bastion of sanity in this crazy messed up world. Ive met some cool people here and really do love this place.

So thanks to DU, and especially you lounge lizards for always keeping a smile on my face.

6. Thanks GOPBasher

but you have the tough task of being upstate, right? Im on the blue island luckly!

[GOPBasher]

14. Yeah, but Onondaga county (central NY) is not bad.

We've gone to the Dem the past three Presidential elections. The only thing is, we have a shitty right wing congressman, Jim Walsh.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

19. well one shitty congressman is a lot better

then going red for the past 3 presediential elections....at least it means not everyone around you is totally brainwashed.

23. actually I already did...

I was posting as Freebird12004 and then freebird1 with combined post of 2318 post before I began again in my own name on Tuesday morning. I did my last post as freebird1 to introduce myself and explain my reasons for 3 different user names since December of 2004.

Thanks for the warm welcome ~ it means so much more to me now in my real name.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

However three times was enough to bring the real me out of retirement. All of the people at the Boston DU meet up that I did get the chance to know were great.
