After 3 1/2 years and over 24,000 posts, I have just one question

[Haole Girl]

Why am I still here?

[Forkboy]

1. You should be asking yourself that, not us.

[Haole Girl]

2. I often do

Please excuse me if I wasted your time.

[Forkboy]

3. You didn't waste mine, but you seem to be wasting yours.

You often seem highly unhappy here on DU, so my advice makes perfect sense. You have the answer, not us.

[Haole Girl]

4. "Often unhappy"? No

Unhappy when someone shits on me? Yeah.

[Sky Masterson]

5. One of two answers

Habit or Need.

[Haole Girl]

6. Thanks

:hi:

[Aristus]

7. Because I adore you, and you seem to like that.

B-)

BTW, there are probably many more DU-ers here who adore you, too.

Keep in mind that piece of good advice: "Remember the compliments you receive; forget the insults."

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

11. Thank you

Who doesn't like to be adored, right? Good advice, too, thanks.

[Swede]

8. I like your posts.

So I hope you aren't leaving.

[Haole Girl]

12. Aw, thanks

I never know whether I'm coming or going.

[Ptah]

9. Because you are waiting for the next sunflower pic.

[Haole Girl]

13. You know I am

;-) :hi:

[Capn Sunshine]

10. Have I told you lately you're a cool cool kitty?

Just in case that was it

[Haole Girl]

14. Hey, thank you for that

I haven't forgotten the very good advice you gave me that time. I'm thinking about it now, in fact & closed my PM function... so I can look at DU the way you suggested. And, I need to clean my house better, and spend more time with my husband, too! :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Because you love us

and we love you :D

[Haole Girl]

16. Thank you

I do love you, MHC! :loveya:

You know, it's only 4:53 a.m. here... I think I should try to go back to sleep. My husband's snoring woke me up. :-(

17. Message boards can be strangely addictive

I took a 6 month break from DU a while back, but I still sought out other message boards.

In my case, I don't really have a good social life. Partly because of my work schedule and partly because it's difficult for me to make friends. I don't have those problems here at DU. There is always someone around to talk to and it's not hard to make friends here.

[Haole Girl]

18. Yes, i know!

I've got to tell you, before I try to go back to sleep this morning, I've thought about you while I'm tring to lose weight... you're a true inspiration. :hug:

[Tobin S.]

19. I'm happy you think of me that way

:hug:

Losing weight and changing your eating habits is very difficult to do. But if you can hang in there for a while the new habits take hold and things get easier.

20. Because you lurves it!

:P ;) :) :hi:

[Beer Snob-50]

21. because without du

you would have this strange void in your life that could only be filled otherwise by wonton sex with strangers or sacrificing small rodents to the volcano god.
