It's tough being a busy, poor DUer .... [View All]

[amandae]

I've been a member since, I think, last Winter. Haven't posted much as you can tell. I'm a mom of three and graduate student as well as a GRA. Not a lot of time. All of those things also contribute to my lack of funds to donate to get that pretty little star next to my name.

Result? My posts go largely ignored. Each time I begin to post, I find I start from the outside of the circle that is DU. And I'm thinking that the absence of a star is not helping me any.

This isn't a pity post ... just a realization I've come to and thought I'd share. I wonder how many other DUers largely lurk and feel as I do ....
