DU'ers: Have any relative/s on DU? If Yes, how many?

[Paradise]

Just curious :) . :hi:

[LDS Jock]

1. I don't know of any

I tried to get my sister to join. She thinks she won't have anything important to add to the conversations. I've tried to tell her, you don't have to have a point to your post, but for now, no go.

[Paradise]

15. she sounds extremely shy, to me.

although i've never had the courage to make phone calls, i manage to join in on DU. if i say something dumb, lol, i can always leave the site, and hide out for a while, lol.

[Supormom]

2. Not that I know of...

I wish there were more liberals in my family. :shrug:

[Paradise]

16. thank goodness there's you :) . n/t

[SarahB]

3. Two (sort of)

I let my daughter post a little a few months ago because she was taking an American Politics class for school (made a really cool Howard Dean Powerpoint presentation), but there's too much adult stuff at times (plus I like my grown-up space) so I really don't let her now (I retain password control).

My husband occasionally posts. He just posted a few yesterday, but being that we're a bit off kilter, we maintain our individualness here. Even though I'm here waaayyyyy more, he's the one who actually showed me this site, so I figure we both deserve to be here. I used to have a "you're invading my space" thing with him about DU, but now there's nothing he'd see here that he doesn't already know anyway. But we're not blood relatives or anything (that would be gross), just legally bound ones. :D

[Paradise]

[HawkerTyphoon]

27. My son

Hawker Hurricane, and I've forgiven him for making me Hawker Typhoon. It was actually a cool airplane, even though it was British.

(There was no Irish Air Force)

;-)

[HawkerHurricane]

28. Irish Air Force

http://fighterjocks.freeservers.com/ireland.html

perhaps I should have named you T-33 'Tweety' after the bird you spent most of your Air Farce career working on?
Or T-33 'Converter'? (Converts jet fuel into noise)
Or T-33 'Screaming Mimi'? (called that by the Air Force Wives, who got to listen to them take off every morning as the take off path went right over enlisted housing.)

[Paradise]

34. thanks for the link Hawker! :)

always had this strange fascination with photos of planes. :hi:

[Paradise]

31. :) cool plane, cool dad :) n/t

[Pithlet]

29. My husband KCR

Between work, school, and his blog, he doesn't post often here anymore, but he still lurks.

My mom also occasionally lurks here, although she doesn't have an account.

[Lindsey]

30. My sis is Pearl

She's the one that got me into all of this. :-) Thanks sis!

[Paradise]

33. :) hi Lindsey, hi Pearl! :) n/t

[rbnyc]

41. My mom is a DUer.

She's not quite as addicted as I am, but it's great to see her here. For those who haven't met her, her name is flama.

[Paradise]

42. :) thanks rbnyc, and please tell 'flama', i'll be watchin' for her:) n/t

[1gobluedem]

44. My sister

My sister is Lisa M. She turned me on to the site. Our father reads but doesn't post. Don't worry, though, he's as liberal as they come like the rest of the family --in fact our mother was just elected a delegate to the national convention. Look out, Boston! The first-ever recipient of the Zolton Ferency award for activism (Michigan award) is headed your way!

[LisaM]

46. What??? You're my sister?

Shouldn't you be 1GoBlueDeM, if so?

[Paradise]

48. 1gobluedem - 1GoBlueDeM?

will the real sister please stand up!!! :)

[1gobluedem]

50. Your normal sister...

...You said it yourself!

[LisaM]

55. For the record, I only have ONE sister

and she *is* normal, compared to the rest of our crazy family, which seems to exist to harbor eccentrics.

[Paradise]

47. way to go mom! :)

and 1gobluedem, lisa m., dad, and the entire true blue family! :thumbsup: :hi: :thumbsup:

[hunter]

45. Don't ask, don't tell...

Don't even harbor any suspicions...

It'd be like walking outside, and there are your mom and dad, or your sister and her husband, making out in your hot tub. Quickly you go back inside, and forget you saw it.

:hi:

[Paradise]

49. :) darn, shoulda offered that option on the poll! :)

and, the visual analogy is outstanding. :hi:

[Paradise]

54. It's like old home week down at the DU corral!

Pleased to meet ya all :hi:
