Hello fellow DUers.

[ATL Ebony]

I currently reside in Metro Atlanta and not working so was looking for some thought provoking conversation to spend time perusing as well as factual (i.e., non-"fake news&quot forums with accurate news updates. I just recently stumbled upon this site from a HuffingtonPost comment. Glad I did and enjoying the dialogue and enormous info provided. I have made this site my first read daily (also my last check each night).

I just today made my 10th post and finally able to start a thread (http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1002).

Enjoying my newfound site and hope to become a productive contributor to the mission of DU.

3. Welcome to DU

Shout out to the ATL! My little brother was born there but that was like 48~49 years ago. I don't remember much of it. We moved soon after he was born.

14. Oh, I migrated here in the late 80s via NJ and NC then ultimately the ATL.

Love it here, most of the times. Weather is 4 seasons (vs LA) and winters are fairly mild -- can't beat it.

We can be rowdy and disagree with each other at times but when it comes down to it we are all in this together. Glad you are hanging in here with us!

16. TY, yes I've witnessed some heated discussions but it's all good --

it's healthier to get it out of your system than to hold it all in and take out on others unjustifiably.

18. Welcome, we need more for the chorus to keep the voice of reason resonating.

Speaking of fake news. Almost no one has heard the story of a person back in late 1960's whose future was deemed to important to risk his life in Vietnam. What almost nobody knows is that he was sent to VN on a top secret mission that was so important that no record of it was ever made. A long range recon patrol (LRRP) team had been cornered by a company of NVA's finest Op's team. The LRRP team was holding hugely classified info, which could not fall into the NVA's hand. After this LRRP team was rescued by this unnamed person, this type of special mission was for ever called a "Special long range recon patrol in escalating situations" or, better known as SLRRPIES.
Sorry

21. Welcome! You are among friends.

After the cheney*/bush* Selection of 2000 I felt horribly alone and hideously depressed... and then I found DU. And I realized there were a whole hella lot of persons --good people from all parts of the US and all walks of life-- that felt the way I did. I found like-minded individuals and most important, I found a sense of community.

Welcome. Your DU experience is directly related to what you put into it.

22. Welcome to the Lounge where you can let your hair down after

a day of Republican lies and hypocrisy.

Bring your own ........ whatever, put your feet up and enjoy.

23. Welcome to the Lounge!

This site is at its best when our backs are against the wall. We do a lot of in fighting when we Dems are in power. It gets brutal around here during primaries and elections. But in the end, develop a little rhino skin, maintain your sense of humor, and live by the golden rule. The Lounge is a safe space with two exceptions:

Whatever you do - don't express any strong opinions on fried chicken with corn flake breading or kudzu. I have seen people eaten alive in the Lounge over those two topics!
