This is my 1000th post!!!!! Veteran DU'ers, please post your advice. |
|
Where do I go from here? I still feel like a newbie.
It took me longer to get here than I suspect it does for many DU'ers. I lurk more than I post, and I definitely don't start many threads, I usually respond.
What should I do to get the most out of my DU experience from here on out?

Keeping posting like there was no tomorrow. Tomorrow, do the same. Repeat until you hit 25,000.....then ask again. Instructions will follow.
Congrats! :toast:

I saw a guy sitting on a park bench the other day with a T-shirt that said:
"The key to writing is writing"
Your advice strikes me as remarkably similar.
When the universe sends you a message more than once, you ignore it at your peril.

6. I'll listen to advice from anyone... |
|
...but I have not intention of being cruel and acting like I'm cock of the walk. Those are the posters that annoy me the most.

Buy low. Sell high. Don't talk with your mouth full. Avoid friends who want to fix you up with someone who has a "wonderful personality".
And don't run with scissors.

My take:
I don't play in the stock market at all.
I don't talk with my mouth full (it's gross and you could choke).
I'm married, so no one's setting me up with anyone.
The only time I'd run with scissors is if I intended to use them as a weapon.

So hard to tell...

My advice-Post as much as you could.
And get to know as many DUers as possible.
When you see someone post that you don't know-Just ask them a simple question like:
Have many siblings do you have?
Ok, now it's your turn to answer!
