Once Upon A Time, A Lot of DUers Posted Names Here. [View all]
Their own. Shoutout to Mortos for bringing us together 11 years ago after a crushing blow. The thread is no longer linkable but...
My name is still Laura Harper, and I remain unafraid.
I'm no longer a soccer mom, my hair is now gray, my husband but a memory, but I still hold true to the things that brought me here with you fine people in 2003. My own children are (almost) grown, with the last graduating this year. He was a toddler when I first logged in here. I still care about our country. I'm still here. Not as much, but someone here reminded me of a time when visiting DU was a treat. I left for a long time... after everything... and returned with a new username and a worse attitude, I admit. Jaded.
Anyway, here's to those who stick around. For fun. For laughter. For commiseration. For respectful disagreements. For a common ideal. To those who don't take words on a screen too far or to heart. I just wanted to share that one wonderful moment when Mortos brought us all together for thousands of replies and a true moment of unity.
Take care DU
