So far, I love it here!

[warmfeet]

I think I have found a home. Perhaps, my voice will follow.

1. i feel the same way.....

...before email..before twitter...when I get up at 430 am this is the first place I check!

[Squinch]

2. Welcome, but beware. It's a bit of an addiction.

[Doreen]

3. Welcome to DU.

I am addicted to this place and am here a lot. I really do not have much of a life and this place kind of gave me a family....well, at least other people who are for the most part like minded.

4. O hai

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Sure, it's all fun & games now...

Just wait until you get dtawn into one of the epic battles for which this place is famous. Among the topics which have engendered flame wars that still flare up from time to time:

Pit bulls
Olive Garden
Circumcision
Fried chicken with cornflake breading

There are countless traps for the unwary.

j/k

It's actually all good.

24. That reminds me...

of the long thread about a 'mixed animal.'

[billh58]

25. This is the thread I am

referring to:

which generated a whole host of other threads and a new DU meme.

6. there is some homework to really feel at home here

like rock 'n' roll
a little weed
alcohol preference based on situations
dining from drive-thrus to places with real table cloths
movies, movies, movies.
television
cats and dogs
finding generally odd bits of human experience

It is not just fun and games being a good lounger takes some - uh - effort

[Mister Ed]

8. Welcome! But put on your helmet going into a presidential primary season...

Anyone who uses Groucho for their profile pic is all right in my book!
