for my 1000th post

[Sheepshank]

I shall now attempt to say something of benefit.

First I have to decide if it must by necessity be "mankind" or should I say "mankind and womankind", or perhaps it's "man and woman kind"?

Then I must decide if speaking out on behalf of Obama at DU is worth the inevitable negative rants. Because you know, many people seem to think I forget that freedom reflects a right to speak "against" Obama even if my right to speak "for" Obama seems to get lost in the self righteous rant of those thinking their speech is being squelched.

Then once those things are addressed, I must decide on white or blush with cucumber sandwiches,
heels or flats with my capris,
hair up or down for casual BBQ,
wire or horn rimmed glasses,
frustration and rant...or impotent rage at BP,
holding my breath while I tell my boss I'm overworked with the eventual and related health problems (trying to keep up the same output after 2 layoffs in a group of 5), or bowing my head and saying 'thank you sir' because I have a job,
what to cull or thin from my veggie garden because every plant provides something for my table,
trying to stay clear and focused on family goals.

now where was I going with this?

Thanks DU...it's been a ride :)

1. 1000

does this mean you are officially not a noob? I'm new here and I have gotten the impression that 1000 is worth striving for.

A lot of thought and feeling goes into those 1000 posts. They are a milestone. Meanwhile, welcome to DU yourself. Here is to your 1000+ ;)
