what's the longest you've ever gone without DU?

[LSK]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. The longest I've gone without DU happened last summer.....

A little over three weeks.......It was HELL! Esp. the first few days before the sightseeing really got going.....

It was horrible!


I plan on having a laptop next big trip, so I can stay connected to the folks at DU!

[LSK]

3. where did you go?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. We took a tour into the eastern Mediteranean.....

Sicily, Malta, Libya, Cypress, Turkey, and Greece....

It was a fabulous trip.....hot, though!

[LSK]

5. wow, that sounds great

Id love to visit there. Cruising the Greek Isles on a sailboat is a dream life for me.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. It was really really fun!

We were not, however, in a sailboat.....More like a small cruise ship...or a big yacht....

Just don't go in the late spring or early summer....temps and humidity in the 100's!

I have NEVER sweated like that, before, or since!

[Dinger]

12. O.K., Dumb Question

How do you keep connected on the road?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. This is not a dumb question by any means, my dear Dinger!

In fact, I am not entirely sure...neither is my husband.

But, since we were on a cruise ship, and there was internet access even out at sea....

It must have been via satellite.

I did not use it....

[Dinger]

33. I Think I Heard Something About

satellite computers . . . very expensive. $$$

2. i was in india for several months

and barely had du

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. About six months

When I first got here, I posted mostly in GD, and I had that GD attitude about the Lounge. Then I got into a thread that really pissed me off and I decided I didn't want to associate with people like that, so I bailed. But the political scene started heating up, so I came back about last September and started checkin' out the Lounge.

I'm still deciding whether I'm gonna stay.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Are you really still deciding about whether you're going to stay?

Oh, I sure hope you do.....

I respect your point of view, and the way you express it....

Plus, you're cute!

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Peggy, you have many, many wonderful qualities

Recognizing snarkasm apparently isn't among them.



Of course I'm stayin'.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. How right you are! Just call me Madam Naive!

Sometimes I do recognize it.....but NOT this time!

Glad you're staying, though....it gave me an excuse to praise your looks!

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Which did not go overlooked

nor underappreciated.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. You are a sweetheart!

[Rowdyboy]

8. About 10 weeks last summer....My computer wouldn't let me open

any threads or respond.

[Left Is Write]

9. Last summer...most of July.

I was vacationing at my parents' house, and not only were the kids and I busy doing fun summer activities (the beach, the pool, the park, cookouts, shopping, visiting), Mom and Dad have dial-up, which made my limited computer time even more difficult.

I missed you all!

[Shell Beau]

10. Usually I am not here on the weekends, but I stopped in

tonight to say



We are cooking out at a friend's!! I am a little tipsy!

[graywarrior]

11. I'm thinking of going without it for a few months

[bigwillq]

13. A couple of weeks (nt)

[Scout1071]

14. 33 years.

Of course, I didn't discover it until I was around 33.

[Fredda Weinberg]

15. Been away for over a year

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Welcome Back!

[Fredda Weinberg]

25. Thanks

It's quieter around here now ... thank goodness.

[SharonRB]

21. Three days, I think

when I went to DC for the march. Well, maybe not three whole days. I'm sure I checked in when I got back on Sunday. Or, maybe it was when we went to NY last June for my cousin's wedding from Thursday through Sunday. So far, never more than that.

[Cobalt Violet]

24. About 2 weeks while this bitch was in the shop. n/t

[last_texas_dem]

26. Two or three months

I've occasionally stopped posting for a couple months or so at different points since I registered on here several years ago. Often I was still reading posts and just not saying anything. I feel like I'm more of a lurker than a major poster most of the time.

[realisticphish]

27. 3 months

over the summer... a mix of work, slow internet, and just needing to get away from politics for a while

[PittPoliSci]

28. two weeks

over the holiday.

i doubt anyone missed me.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

29. 49 years or so...

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

30. I survived 48 years without it.

Damned if I know how.

[zanne]

35. 50 lonely, miserable, wasted years!

I exaggerate a bit. Actually, as soon as I got my first computer about three years ago, I started looking for good liberal websites. Once I found DU, I fell in love and I've never strayed.

[MrScorpio]

31. 3 months back in 03

I missed you guys

[SoCalDem]

32. 10 days in Tahiti.. I did not miss DU at all

[Mutley]

34. About two weeks. Just last month.
