As the Dead sang, what a long, strange trip it’s been.

I joined during the Obama-Romney election. Such innocent times.

I truly need to say this, it only seems like yesterday.

October 18th, 2001.

I remember you doing weather posts…am I right?

I have always loved weather stuff. It's too bad Florida is usually so boring with weather things. It only gets spicey around here when people's lives and property is at risk, with hurricanes.

I've been here a long time, too

First joined in 2003, but somehow got locked out in 2012, had to rejoin under current name, and been here since.

Lots of people gone. That’s the sad part.

Lurker for about 2 years before becoming paid member. My first stop in the morning.

This place means a lot to me.

all of you.

June of 2004, IIRC. I'll have to double-check, LOL.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Just checked: 21 years as of June 1st.

month coming up on the 29th😀

If you count the couple of years I just lurked, it'd be more.

Added Nov.3, 2002

But I lurked a while before that. The two DUers who hooked me up haven't been on in years.

But I don’t post much. I come here to read often though.

in the DU Lounge.

but no cussin’. it’s unseemly.

I was reading the site since early 2002.

Best on the ‘net.

And i have no idea how I came across DU, but once I found it....

I've been here a lot since then, it's my go to place!!

Dubya sent me.

I'm on more now that I'm retired.

I joined DU in mid-2002, after lurkinking for some months. Oh, for the halcyon days of Dubya!
