What I have learned

[TZ]

I realized that on this day last year, I finally registered for DU, instead of just lurking and reading the Conservative idiots. And in that time (and over 6,000 posts--boy am I a motormouth) I realized I have learned alot of things.

I've learned what a freeper is.
I have learned that there are a lot of morans in this world.
I've learned there is a time to series!!11!! and a time to be funny.
I've learned that even though I'm Jewish thats no bar to being called Hitler! (or Snyder as the case may be....;-) )
I've learned that eating at the Olive Garden is a baaad thing.
And just recently I learned that Rick Astley is the incarnation of evil!

On the serious side, I have talked to a lot of very nice smart funny people who have different and interesting life experiences.
And even though it can be a bit maddening at times (which is why I try not to read/post in GD very often these days) I have become a DU junkie! So I just wanted to share with you all how much I have enjoyed my first year here...It's been a source of sanity in a very trying year in my life....
Thanks all!

That's a tough forum; if you don't have your facts straight, they eat you alive.

Glad you liked some of the posts. :hi:

5. I always learn something new in here!

For example, I did not know what kudzu was! LOL

This is a fascinating place. Just ask a question, and someone will have an answer, just like that!

"And just recently I learned that Rick Astley is the incarnation of evil!"

Let's not be easily swayed by whose who have axes to grind and issues to resolve through therapy/medication (hi, Orrex!)

Never forget this

15. Typical Scientistic attitude

"Got a problem? Take a pill!"

Well, I've got news for you, Scientist; the problem isn't me, it's Rick Astley. But rather than cure the problem, you'd rather take the much more profitable route and treat the symptoms ad infinitum.

Nice.
