newyawker99 has retired as a mod?!?! |
|
Damn! She was the first person to welcome me to DU and I've never forgotten it. Thanks, newyawker. You are truly a DU institution. It won't be the same without you.

i've often thought i should have chosen a less feminine name... i don't think sex has a place here... only individuals
have a nice rest, newyawker99!

62. newyawker99, I'd just like to join the other DU voices |
|
in thanking you for all you've done, especially for always being a friendly face (or in DU's case, a friendly post) for us all. Like many other DU members, I had the experience of being welcomed to DU by you. There was an occassion when I gave you a hard time about missing me in your MILESTONES. Turns out you didn't miss me at all, but I really just wanted a chance to tease you. After all, one doesn't tease someone he or she doesn't care a dang about. :)
Good luck, newyawker99!

While I'll admit my Mom is excellent at this and my Dad is hopeless, I know plenty of guys that are good with birthdays, anniversaries, etc. and plenty of women that are not.
And, I know plenty of men that do more housework than their wives...

I've already planned several XMas gifts for my wife, though I've had to revise our anniversary plans for November and am still trying to think of something... I'm pretty sure my wife has not even started to think of these things, and my birthday is a week after our anniversary. I also bought our daughter's Halloween costume a few weeks ago because I didn't want to be scrambling on Sunday, October 30 looking for the last costume in central Connecticut.
And, my wife would need a map to find the washer & dryer in our house (and, no our home is not THAT big), would need classes in how to operate a vacuum cleaner, and I wouldn't even think of letting her clean the floors.
Some good friends of my wife have similar husbands, too. Of course, my wife and her friends are all well educated professionals with very good jobs (one is a cardiologist)...
Of course, it could be cultural, too.

75. I always assumed newyawker was a woman |

Simply because she welcomed people. And I always envision women doing that. Which just shows my own gender stereotyping LOL :rofl: But I realize I may have been wrong.
So newyawker99, whoever you are, and whichever gender....:yourock:

What if she is now going to run for public office and does not have time to do DU? HUMMMMMM!...I cannot think of a better person to go for public service! She is such a wonderful person...never misses a date! I would vote for her, only I do not live in New Yawk!
I noticed OKNancy retired for a bit also...she has been a great moderator for a long time also!

That goes for all of the rest of the mods at DU too. You all have a pretty crummy job but yet you still seem to be able to make lemonade from lemons. Thats a trick. Not many people could do it. Myself included. Thanks again to all you guys. We couldn't do it without you.
