As of today, I've been a member of Democratic Underground for 10 years.

It was June 20, 2005 that I registered to this site. I was 18 years old and wasn't even a month removed from my high school graduation.

Now I'm a decade older and I can only hope a little wiser as well.

My time on this forum has been interesting and it's been filled with ups and downs along the way, just like life in general. I certainly have not gotten along with every member of DU, regardless of whether that was my fault or theirs. There's been times where I've found this place so aggravating that it made me want to yank my hair out.

But, overall, I've had a lot of fun and I can only hope I'll be a member here for many more years to come.

I hope you will continue to be a member for many more years! I've been here for 10 years too, and they have been pivotal.

DU is a great site!
