[johnnie]

4. Welcome to the posting part of it all

It is much more enjoyable posting than reading everything without posting. Good to have you :hi:

[yardwork]

I do it all the time

[arwalden]

5. Thanks

Happy to be here, proud to serve.

I've been a long time reader and a recent poster.

DU is one of the few places on the web I always visit when online.

Peace.

If I could spell I wouldn't have to edit.

6. I found a home!

This place is so much fun! Why didn't someone tell me about this place years ago?

[arwalden]

18. Hello MsAnthropy!

>> Why didn't someone tell me about this place years ago? <<

I left a message on your voicemail... didn't you get it? :hi: I just figured you were busy.

8. Would I still qualify as a "newbie?"

If so, would I still be welcomed?

I'm hoping to change my username to something else first thing the morning of November 3rd, so my post count will be starting from zero again, soon, at any rate.:hi:

[flowomo]

9. that is kind of a weird user name for this place......

but you must mean the OTHER George W Bush :)

[arwalden]

11. Nope... you're a Freshman now...

no longer a newbie. IMO.

-- Allen

[MemphisTiger]

10. Good to be here

I my part of the country it's hard to find several democrats in one place. When you find out someone else is a dem there is an intant look of relief on the face of each person.

[arwalden]

12. Hi MemphisTiger... Welcome.

I can relate to that feeling of relief you talked about! It can be a bit overwhelming to live in a sea of Republicans.

[MissMillie]

14. Newbies! Be sure to ask arwalden

to sing his rendition of Rolls Royce's "Car Wash"!

[arwalden]

19. I Can't Sing...

Unless it's playing LOUD! The louder the music, the better I can sing along!

You might not ever get rich...

[arwalden]

21. Hi Huskerlaw ...

Just don't let your boss catch you lurking instead of working. :hi:

Glad you're here!!!

-- Allen

[huskerlaw]

22. No worries...

Actually, my boss is always asking if there's anything new on DU. LMAO, yes I do love my job. ;)

[southernlad]

25. I love Queer Duck

OMG - I love Queer Duck. Love your signature line. I'm David. 25 from Arkansas. I joined a few days ago but have been reading for a few weeks. Fantastic threads here.

[arwalden]

[mapatriot]

32. I'm "home"

Been duking it out with the christian rightwingnuts at vote.com'ers for a long while and have finally realized that they're beyond redemption (and very uncivil). I often see them refer to "what is going on over at DU", so they clearly monitor this site and are VERY intimidated by you honest folk.

[helnwhls]

33. Glad to be here!

I get the news from DU now. I check the lounge once in the morning and 2 hours later I am finally making coffee. I am thrilled to pieces that I am nearing 200 posts.

[LT TX]

35. Hello everyone!

I have lurked for a couple of months, and have really enjoyed reading the DU! In fact, I have used quite a bit of the information I read on here on my hometown message board (small town in east Texas...ugh).

Thanks for letting me introduce myself!

[arwalden]

36. Greetings LTTX... and Welcome!!
