Yes, it sure took me a long time
I have been reading here since the late Bush years. I have learned so much from all of you, but never felt I had that much to offer and so did not join. Then I finally realized yesterday I should be more supportive of this site that has given me so much, so I became a gold star member. I was a Bernie supporter, but am very excited I could vote for a woman. Feeling hopeful and wearing white today.
I will become a great grandma this spring and am still furious that the debates had not one question about climate change. That said, I am thrilled to be here and would encourage others who are in the lurking pattern to become a member. It feels good!
