*__Welcome New DUers__*

[Zomby Woof]

Pull up your favorite chair, and introduce yourself. You'll quickly find yourself overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of your fellow travelers on DU. Don't worry too much about what makes one a 'new' DUer - we're flexible. Just jump right in!

My name is ZombyWoof, and you can call me ZW for short. I'm happy to make your acquaintance! :hi:

[matcom]

1. Hello. My name is Matcom

you can call me ASS for short. i like long walks on the beach, a good stiff drink and asses; LOTS of asses.

will i fit in here? :crazy:

[Zomby Woof]

4. I prefer "ASSHOLE!"

I hear you like walking nekkid on the beach, and good stiff threadjackings! :P :bounce:

[matcom]

6. and leather

boots that is. Vinyl works too. As long as they are red.

[liberalnurse]

8. I prefer to just call him

Anal Meatus.........:blush:

[Zuni]

38. don't forget his fetish for chaps

[intheflow]

2. Howdy-doo, ZombineWoof!

I'm intheflow. Your incredible optimism is refreshing! :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

7. intheflow!

I remember running into you somewhere before, maybe a month or so back? Good to see you in here more often. :hi:

[intheflow]

26. Yes, I've seen you around, too.

I've invited my "real world" newbie boyfriend to join this thread. I'm so glad to know he'll get some love here. DU can be very hard on people whose counts are under 700.

God bless you, ZW! :hug:

[Zomby Woof]

43. Something to be said for a sane pace!

Not even 30,000 here in over 3.5 years. :-) Quality matters more than quantity anyway! I am still striving for more of the former myself.

[liberalnurse]

3. Hi there Zomby ......

I'm new here so can you tell me what they serve here in the DU Lounge? Can I get a double mocha latte?


:beer:

[Zomby Woof]

10. Double Mocha Latte it is

We serve anything and everything, although Matcom keeps stealing the keys to my cabinet... :o

:donut: Here it is!

[liberalnurse]

18. OMG......

I'm feeling all tingly and giddy ....my head is spinning....:crazy:

What was in that latte?....Was Matcom the barkeeper?

[intheflow]

31. I don't know about the double mocha latte.

But I can pretty much guarantee someone here could rustle up a stiff Irish coffee for you.

:hi:

[Huckebein the Raven]

5. I'm Dark_Leftist, call me DL

and don't worry about the guy in my sig he's cool. Just don't piss him off.

Now, where's my beer ?

:D

[Zomby Woof]

14. One beer...

Right here... :beer:

[Huckebein the Raven]

20. Thanks for the brew

[intheflow]

29. Welcome, DL.

I would never fear your sig line guy. Looks to me like he just got another BS memo from HQ. I often have the same reaction to company memos.

[Evergreen Emerald]

9. Hi...I am Evergreen Emerald

I have actually been here a while and find myself checking in often.
I think I would fit right in: I love to look at men's asses, and I can be an ass.

[Zomby Woof]

11. Welcome!

I think maybe you should meet Matcom further up this thread. :P

[Evergreen Emerald]

21. Thanks for the welcome

...yes I have noticed Mr. Matcom in the past. He is quite amusing and witty (for an ass).

[Longgrain]

12. I'm new too, am I welcome?

So what's up Zomby?

:Pulls up chair:

Anything new going on?

[Zomby Woof]

17. Of course you're welcome!

No fine print in my posts. :P

Nothing new, how about you? (hey, that rhymed)

[In_The_Wind]

13. Hi ZombyWoof

My name was Freebird ~ but people at DU call me Joani

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

15. I liked the Freebird name!

But Joani it is! :hi:

[In_The_Wind]

24. that's so sweet

but it's time to move on

:hi::loveya::hug:

[purr]

16. Hi!

I'm Purr.. I'm not really new, but just would like to make a statement. I have a deep hatred for my stuck up, repuke, freeper, ball-less neighbor who wears the same damn clothes every day and walks with her nose 3 ft up in the air.

Ok. I feel better. :)

I have a strange looking cat and a bird that needs soap in her dirty mouth. I am very hormonal as I am almost 6 months pregnant and I am not in the mood for jerks like above. I am generally nice and non-confrontational so feel free to chat with me about anything and everything.. I'm open for a good chat.

I also tell it how it is.. if I find my husbands outfit horrible and ugly, I'll let him know.. as if I ask him I expect the same in return.

/end hormonal rant

[Zomby Woof]

19. Welcome purr!

Nice rant! :D

Your kitty is welcome too. :hi:

[purr]

25. Thanks! :)

:hi:

Shes all curled up with me right now on the couch.. she keeps me warm and I keep her warm. Shes so loveable!

[Evergreen Emerald]

22. your kitty's eyes are beautiful!

Does it need clothes to keep warm?

Neighbor / ugly clothes: you go girl

[purr]

30. She is very creative with keeping herself warm.

Shes very warm to the touch to begin with.. feels like a warm water bottle with a peach covering. She sleeps under the sheets most of the time, and if I'm home shes on my lap curled up.

Calling the magistrate on my neighbor tomorrow.. she keeps making false police reports about me and my dog. Last straw was last week when I put my dog out who LOVES to go outside couple times a day the cops showed up . I was down my moms and they left a message to call when I get in. Called when I get in and said that a neighbor made a noise complaint about my dog who was outside all day and all night barking!! LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! She did this when I had my bird on the porch too.. said my hubby was beating me and the kids were yelling. The cops realized it was a phony when they heard my bird screaming in the background.

I HATE THIS WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Wow. So many "new" DUers...

Amazing even. :hi: :hug:

[TOhioLiberal]

27. Amazing...

...most of the posters would hardly be called 'new' :eyes:
Including me...:blush:

[intheflow]

34. But you know, TOhioLiberal,

I've been on DU since last August, and this is the first time I remember reading a post of yours. So you're new to me.

Welcome to my world! :hi:

[TOhioLiberal]

36. True...

I guess there is more than 1 kind of new, eh?

In that spirit...Welcome to DU!

[Zomby Woof]

39. Hehe

Well, most of you are new to ME. :D :hi: :hug:

[Arkana]

28. I'm Arkana, and I'm an alcoholic.

Wait, this isn't AA...

[intheflow]

32. You're still welcome.

Just no stealing from my fine tequila stock, ok? :hi:

[usedtobesick]

33. been on a while but...

didn't know how to get involved. Felt like a voyeur. But got to know people little by little. Recovering poster child for the religious right... but... I am getting better every day. My girlfriend intheflow is a force of nature when it comes to change. Well she's been a good influence. :spank:

[Zomby Woof]

40. Welcome!

Love the Mark Twain avatar, and intheflow is very cool!

[intheflow]

65. That's right.

You just needed to come over from the dark side. Glad to have you with the good guys. :hug:

[TK421]

35. Pleased to meet you ZombyWoof!

I only get to post while I'm at work, but I'm sure we'll talk soon

[Zomby Woof]

41. Paid to post on DU!

Everybody's dream job. ;-) Welcome. :-)

[demnan]

37. I'm f*in' laughing too hard

to make a comprehensible post! :rofl:

[Zomby Woof]

42. Comprehenisibility is overrated

Mock my natural wholesome sweetness at your own peril. ;-)

[Crewleader]

44. Very nice welcome friend

:hi: :hug:


I'm Crew and it's good to meet you....;)

[Zomby Woof]

45. CREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOORAH!!!!!!! :hug: :bounce: You are a sight for some sore ZombyEyes! :loveya:

Woohoo!

[Crewleader]

46. Right back at ya....

:loveya:
I will explain my absence when I can....my house and some stuff has kept me busy, believe me,
I will be back....Thanks for the great greeting...:hug: :-)
((Hugs Back Zomby))

[Zomby Woof]

49. Home and family first!

Just know we miss you, and will ALWAYS welcome you back, whenever you have the time! :D

[intheflow]

55. Hi, Crewleader.

I dont' remember ever encountering you before. Are you a rower or an astronaut kind of crew leader?

Welcome to my DU world! :hi:

[TheProphetess]

47. Hi there!

I'm a very new newbie. My SO calls me the Prophetess which is why I picked that name. (Not because I fortell the future but because it's an offshoot of his screen name.)
Thank you for the welcome thread! :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

50. Welcome Prophetess!

:hi:

[TheProphetess]

61. Thank you!

:)

[intheflow]

58. Welcome to DU!

It's nice to have you with us. I'm intheflow, but you can call me itf or flow. :hi:

[TheProphetess]

60. Thanks!

I'm enjoying myself so far. My SO says I'm going to become an addict (like him). :hi:

[nini]

48. I'm nini

I'm kinda shy so you've probably never noticed me before.

Thank you for the welcome. This looks like a fun place :D


:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

51. I want you

Now.

How's that for a welcome?? :P :loveya: :hug:

[nini]

52. I told you I was shy

:blush:




check your PM :loveya:

[Zomby Woof]

53. If you're shy...

I'm a downright wallflower. ;-)

[nini]

54. sssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh

*snort*


let them think I'm shy.. I tend to stay under the radar here.. let them think I'm that way

:hug:h

[Zomby Woof]

56. You're that devilish little redhead!

:evilgrin:

[nini]

59. I wonder how many people thought that was me?

I'd post that and ask but there arent't that many people left here from back then to answer.

LOL - that makes me laugh every time you bring it up.

[Zomby Woof]

63. Even though there is no physical resemblance

She STILL captured the essence of your personality and sense of playfulness. "Dick Cheney needs a time out". Classic.

[nini]

68. I'm still waiting for that 'time out' :-)

work just called.. I have to send them some stuff in email. I doubt I'll be back.

I'll call ya later!

:loveya:

[libodem]

57. hi zw

I'm new. Been here since about Feb or March. Thank you for the welcome. I'm a very low-tech poster. I sometimes feel awkward, and a little backward with all the smart high-techs in the group. I'm a little in awe of the lounge lizards. Everyone seems so funny and witty. The back and forth banter between friends is very entertaining. I think we all want to be part of what has taken time to develop into fun peer relationships. I want to belong because DU has my kind of people. I'll be happier when I have a higher # of posts and get to know a few more people. I'll feel more Like part of the crowd.

[Zomby Woof]

62. You're automatically part of the crowd

No matter how different we are, we all have one thing which binds us together... a vision of a world better than it is now, for progressive values and truth-telling.

We argue a lot about how to go about doing that, but we are all in this together, and let NO ONE exclude you or make you feel "out".

:hi: Hope you jump in discussions more often.

As for the witty stuff... that's because of the coffee in here, so don't be intimidated. :-)

[Ophelia Rising]

64. Hey there!

I'm a rookie.....I joined in Feb, but finally just got around to actually figuring out how to post and such....you'll usually find me in any music or art threads, as those are my two passions....it's so great to have the DU, being in Iowa, liberals can be somewhat difficult to find, at least more difficult than when I lived in Santa Fe! Yay for DU-you're savin' my lefty ass!

[Zomby Woof]

66. We hear you!

This is our refuge, our second home! :D

I love music and art too... used to get into some spirited and serious discussions here in the Lounge, but these days it's rare. I should look for those groups. I need to venture down there soon!

:hi: Welcome!

[Ophelia Rising]

67. Schanks!

Ahhhh sweet refuge it is! Plus, the word "underground" makes it sound so mysterious at the same time-I love it!
