1. Off to the greatest! DUers have always been generous and dig deep, even if a body only has

5 bucks to give. And it doesn't even matter if the persona/person is popular or despised, DUers simply will not let someone go without.

The kind of story you linked to is just one of the reasons I keep coming back, despite my fair share of frustrations - lol.

2. Thanks, I am so glad they made their goal with the help of DU. n/t

3. Sometimes a little faith and a little push

and a really good and justified goal can make one DU'er happy

to help.

5. So did I.

I contributed a little bit.

We're looking to buy a new house sometime next year.. been saving up!

6. we didn't get our first house till i was 48.

we lived in queens, ny and it was impossible to buy there. fortunately IBM honored my husband's request for a transfer to phoenix. we banked my whole pay for a year. i worked every bit of overtime i could get -- sundays, holidays, nights.

good luck to you. owning a home is great.

7. Kicking for the last few dollars for the campaign.

I'm so proud of DU for helping these folks out. Just delightful to watch us make it happen for Lyric.

8. Isn't it wonderful! DU rocks when we're not chewing each others' tails off.

Almost there and I'm confident it'll be a done deal before the day is done.

something good like this happens.

[DesertFlower]

11. i've never really left. i'm still a star member,

but i don't post as much as i used to.

12. There are good things happening on DU all the time

Sometimes the crap rises and makes us forget the good stuff. But the good is always there and the good DUers are always there. Never give up!

13. I guess that's why I'm still here. nt
