Hello I am Rex

41 years old and from south Texas. Currently hosting in the DU Lounge and Politics 2012. I've had a very liberal upbringing and enjoy conversations on our country and how we can all make it a better and more equal place for all!

Just a few thing for new members.

1. Don't get discouraged. Everyone was new here at one time.

2. Don't let old timers (high post count) intimidate you or lecture you.

3. Spend time in the groups as well as the main forums. There is more news and information on DU then any other website!

4. If you need help, ask a host! They will be more then happy to help solve any problem you might be having.

5. AND THIS IS THE BIG ONE...ENJOY!

No wonder Houston is blue and surrounding areas are purplish.

Now, you wrote a great post! I wasn't sure actually what to say, believe it or not, lol!

I know if I were new, I would feel very comfortable coming into a site that had a welcome like yours...

Well done, sweetie...

That means the world to me hearing you say that!

Of course, my civility pales in comparison to yours ma'am. Like the light from the moon, compared to the sun's eminent shine! You glow like a star compared to mine.
