Aloha DU

[AuntyGravity]

Hello! New Here. Awkward elderly introvert.
Appreciative of the myriad expressions of knowledge, ideas, and experiences here, expressed in respectful and humorous ways.

Thank you for being kind intelligent funny human beings.
I yearn to contribute to the gestalt.

Aunty Gravity

(Crap, now I can't get that Grouch Marx quote out of my head).

5. When I saw "Aloha" I thought someone was leaving DU.

That word goes both ways!

Groucho famously said, "I would not want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member."

my sodium levels, so I try to limit the gestalt!

Welcome, AuntyGravity. You'll have real pull around here, no doubt!

15. Hello Aunty

Great to have you on DU. I look forward to your posts. I’m a bumbling fool extrovert. I’m still kicking at almost 70 because my awesome wife is slightly on the introverted side. God Bless those who choose not to glow too brightly even though they can.

28. According to Douglas Adams himself:

According to Douglas Adams himself:

The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do'. I typed it out. End of story.

French fries are good though!
