I've been a DU member a little over 15 years

[SHRED]

I just want to say thank you all for being here.

We've had our ups and downs.
We've hugged and yelled.
We've argued and agreed.
We've learned together.

[True Dough]

1. You didn't mention

toked together. I think you're an imposter. Where's the real SHRED?




Here's to another 15!

[SHRED]

But there was much rejoicing, anyway.

[The Polack MSgt]

31. Looking forward to the day

We are all forced to eat the minstrels...

[A HERETIC I AM]

33. There are times when I think...

that DU is the Frozen Land of Nador.

[El Supremo]

6. So have I.

And I agree with you but I'm a little burned out.

[True Dough]

9. That tends to happen

to Cowboys fans!

[shraby]

7. I jumped into the fray on Apr 29, 2004. That's almost 15 years too.

I'm watching and learning about our presidential candidates. Want to know as much as possible before I make a decision. We have so many great ones.

10. I've only been here 2 1/2 years and

I don’t know where I’d be without this place and you dear people. Ya’ll saved my sanity and might have even saved my marriage. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again...SHRED, you are a treasure AND a bad ass Twitter warrior.

[SHRED]

[Haggis for Breakfast]

Cuz, it almost sounds like you're saying "goodbye."

[SHRED]

17. Not a chance

[Haggis for Breakfast]

20. Whheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww.

[Lithos]

21. LOL - I'm Old Guard

Was a lurker almost day 1 - and I think I was a member before 9/11. Was a Mod who spanned from DU1 to the end of DU2. Took a break at that time.

But, thank you for being here. So much has happened and DU is still as vibrant and interesting a place as it was from our early days.

Hugs.

[SHRED]

22. Nice!

[Lugnut]

24. I've been here almost since the beginning of DU.

[bif]

25. Member since January of 2001!

[samplegirl]

26. Congrats

We are still a group that cares about all!

[rurallib]

27. a bit short of 15 myself, but I have learned that in the Lounge there is one

best way to say congratulations - cats:

Enjoy!

[BumRushDaShow]

28. Congrats and recently

every time I see your username I thought of this -

[lark]

29. I've been here since the dark days of 2004 when SCOTUS stole the presidency for shrub.

Didn't think worse could happen until the day that PUtin, KKK & Nazis elected drumpf and I was proven to be totally wrong. I don't know how I could have stood this wild ride without DU to go to and see how other progressives are dealing with this nightmare and to get better information than what's often availble on msm.

Thank you DU and all progressive posters for being here!

30. Click on "My Profile" at the top of your page:

and there will be a number at the end of your http address.

I think mine is "3993" or something like that?

It shows when you showed up.

I came here in March 2001, but was aware of DU since Inauguration Day of 2001, when they had their banner in the parade.

[The Polack MSgt]

32. 15 years of Rock and Roll?

Congrats SHRED.

Here. Turn your guitar up a little bit

[TalenaGor]

34. me too

I found this site shortly after 9/11.... (Although my current profile doesn't reflect that)

But this place has been my source of news, debate, logical and in-depth thought.... my total comprehension of politics in general....

Holy crap that's 18 years.....in fact I don't think there's anything else I've done as long except for breathe lol

[GregW]

35. Just checked... 18 years for me

Though I had a hiatus for at least a decade.

Rock on DUers!

[AllaN01Bear]

36. ive been here since 2000 ( the gore v bush 1 nosnsene).

still learning.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

37. This "buds" for you...

And more good times to come...keep toking.

[SHRED]

38. Will do!

[a kennedy]

39. Hey SHRED i've been here that long as well......

Here’s my connection date.....Fri Jun 4, 2004, 11:02 PM So happy for you and ALL here on DU. We all are in this together, and could not be happier then being here on DU with all of you.

[SHRED]

40. Well said.

[Pepsidog]

41. Wish I knew about DU during Bush years. My kids would have certainly appreciated the distraction. I

made my four kids sit and watch every Keith Olberhman special comments and still it never could have prepared them for this traitor.

[Soph0571]

42. In dog years I am a puppy

In real years, I am a puppy

But I love this site. I used to be on a progressive site that also had a strong conservative voice. That had its challenges. I got used to Soph Derangement System (it was a real thing!). Not having to deal with that shit here is great. This is now my on line home and DUers like you make it bloody marvellous!

[sellitman]

43. Never checked how long I've been here but

I'm glad you are here and hope one day to dance on the grave of the current GOP Party with you and others here.

Cheers my friend.

[akraven]

44. We've partied together!

Hugs back atcha SHRED!

[fNord]

45. You said it kat....

This place is gold for good people
