diversity of people and opinions (within reason), people that make me laugh, make me think and inspire me...

someplace to go to vent and commiserate

I'm glad I can make your tab go yellow!!

that maybe I'm not crazy?

A place where "nope, it's not just you" helps me get through all this nuttiness.

I've been here since DU.1 and all the changes over the years have been improvements. DU has to be the most user friendly site on the internets. And the content isn't bad, either...

You better not be eating canned potatoes..considering you can go to Cambridge ME and harvest them on a farm..I know this..visited friend years ago..have never forgotten that day in the potatoe field...must have been 10 lbs..they lasted at least 3 months..andwere still fresh..not like store bought today..AND not like canned...

....been reading OPs..not too much replying....too crazy for me..

Enjoy everyone's music..have to admit..a lot of it is beyond my rolling stones and beatles..

Some great musical peeps in Cambridge....not a lot else, though. Except farms.

Grown potatoes. Friggen Japanese beetles were a constant PIA.
