I'm baaack!

[Auntie Bush]

I stopped posting long ago as I became addicted to DU...it almost became my life and at times depressing. Then due to illness I stopped posting. I never started again when I could because it was such a relief not being addicted any more. I had my own life to live and freedom and time to explore the internet.

Well, now times have changed and I've frequently found myself itching to get back to DU and have my say. I now feel gagged without DU to express my feelings, thoughts and ideas...sooo I'm eager to get back in the swing of things here at DU.

1. DU Addiction Isn't Fatal (n/t)

2. Happened to me years ago, too. Much easier now to back away even though election cycles

sure reel you back in. But, I actually am not worried about the presidential race, because I always expected Trump's implosion. The senate and house races matter to me….ALOT!

8. If I remember correctly....

You and I used to be on opposite sides and had quite a few interesting discussions. I was rooting for Hillary and you were for Obama.
But as soon as Hillary quit I was ALL for Obama and have been an ardent admirer of both he and Michele ever since. I just love Obama!

and monopolize ones free time. This time I'm going to be more in control of myself.

12. Thanks....and I've thought seriously about

Changing it as it's so out dated...but I hated listing credits for all my posts and starting from 1 again and being called a newby again and maybe a moll. Lol

13. Welcome back! I know that love/hate thing.

There are days I get caught between needing to blow off steam and thinking it just makes more steam! THIS is no time to be alone though!

16. Congrats and welcome back.

Im pretty close to being addicted here too. I was the same way with Bartcop.cop, until he passed away. I lived in texas then, it kept me from going insane, while was i there.

17. We used to have a DU 12 step program

...but we were running it on DU so it didn't work out that well.

19. Welcome back. I hope you're feeling better. I've had to take breaks from social media once

it started feeling like another job. I'd say to myself "WTF is wrong with you. You're not even getting paid and you're this upset."
