I hit my 50th post today! Ask me anything.

[Merope215]

Yes, I know this is a pretty sad way to try to get to know some of you. :hi:

[qnr]

1. What did it do, and what did you hit it with?

:hi:

[Merope215]

3. I'm about to find out, I guess

the response time on DU never ceases to amaze me :hi:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

2. Hello there :)

Welcome to the DU , I have not seen you on here before .

[Merope215]

4. Thanks, CP!

I've actually been lurking here since early 2002, but I've never posted. I think I'm a little giddy with the excitement of it all... :P

[tuvor]

5. How were the 40's?

I just turned 40 a couple of months ago.

And welcome to DU! :hi:

[Merope215]

7. A little intimidating, I'm not gonna lie

I mostly hung out in LBN, though. You guys are a lot more chill. Thanks for the welcome! :hi:

[tuvor]

8. Well, I'm an idiot.

I thought you said you TURNED 50. :silly:

[Merope215]

18. Haha, I didn't even notice...I never would have found out!

I'm only 19! Don't age me so fast! :scared:

[tuvor]

30. Hate to break it to ya, but...

...you don't need my help. It'll happen before you know it, so don't take any of it for granted!

[Merope215]

32. That's what I hear...

...but if I stick my fingers in my ears and hum, it won't really happen, right? :silly:

At least it's better than the alternative.

[tuvor]

35. I see you're learning already! n/t

19. you're welcome!

hehe, no, it's not my dog, i found his picture online and i love that he's so happy. :-)

[Merope215]

20. Okay...

I guess that would have been pretty easy for me to figure out if I had looked at the URL prominently displayed on the picture! Stupid me. :crazy:

[pres2032]

21. hehe, that's ok

i've had many many people on here ask me about him.

[ralps]

14. Congrats and welcome. What are you doing to celebrate?

:toast: :hi: :hug:

[Merope215]

17. Thanks

I'm drinking a G&T and whoring myself out to the college application industry. Can't win 'em all, I guess. Thanks for the welcome! :hi:

On edit: Do you have any better suggestions? What's the appropriate way to celebrate? (I'm pretty bored right now, so I'm up for anything.)

[ralps]

25. I'm celebrating my 1,000th post by listening to Mike Malloy on

[Merope215]

29. Cool

One of my bosses at work listens to AAR all the time. I'm just a student, so I don't get to have my own radio, but I'll ask him to turn it up from now on. Thanks!

I think I've hit the big time! :bounce:

[shesemsmom]

36. Why do you come here?

is it for entertainment of information? And by the way.... welcome to DU

[Merope215]

39. Well...

Both, I guess. I found out about DU when I read Mark Crispin Miller's book "The Bush Dyslexicon" in early 2002, but I never posted anything. It's entertaining *and* informative. Hooray for DU!

[shesemsmom]

42. I'm glad your here

DU has held me together in the darkest of times. Both political and personal

[Guy Fawkes]

[shesemsmom]
