I don't know what I'd do without DU. [View all]

I said before I’m kind of laid up with a broken foot so I’m bored and anxious and obsessed over the election and the storm. Here I can vent and laugh and get information and just feel understood. In a world full of intimate strangers you all really do feel like friends and contentious family. I appreciate you more than you know.
