Bye DU - I'm done.
I'm going to ask Skinner to cancel my account.

I'll still lurk occasionally for information, but I gotta get on with my life.

It's a big world out there - and time is short.

4. Did someone offend you? I thought you were a tough-skinned guy.
At any rate, I'll miss your posts. Best in life to you. JC

23. Okay, those puppies are just too damn cute. That's just unfair,
especially when I'm already drinking super sweet hot chocolate, then you give me these sweet little puppies too. . . .

32. I tried it for about 2 months earlier this year,
but I couldn't handle it and came running back to the Lounge.

Good luck (see you soon!).

34. I will miss you "rumguy" you've been with us awhile. And, you are one of
the few DU'ers who really "got" the movie "Hero." See you still have it in your sig.

:-)'s to you...and I understand "crossroads." If it's time to move on..it's time.

Peace and happy trails!

39. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.
My dear friend DU is an addiction. Like most addicts here, you believe you can leave anytime you want to. The only way to truly leave, is first admit you have an addiction. Until you are able to say Hi my names Rumguy an I'm a DU junkie. You will fall back into the old habit of, I'm only going to lurk, just one little post want make a difference, I can still stop anytime I want to.
Kick.

11. Don't leave -- just ration your time on DU -- like I do.
Yes, DU can be addictive, but I got one of those wind-up kitchen timers -- and when time's up, I'm off.

In the meantime, I use Editorials and Other Articles and LBN as time-saving ways to find articles and news stories of interest.

And -- I hope you keep your account so you can say "hi" from time-to-time, as "mzmolly" suggested above.

Best of luck in your endeavors.

Cordially,

Vitruvius

13. Umm...
The guy posts he's voting for Bush and the lyrics for G.I. Joe. Perhaps that means something.

I hope that you and your kind fully reap everything that you have sown.

22. The one good thing about not being able to post during the day here...
is that I don't wanna leave... now I crave it when I can't have it. I hope everything works out for you. Maybe you should rethink actually cancelling your account though, you might want to come back here when we're celebrating three weeks from now.

All the best! I hope everything turns out as you want. :toast:

AtA beats the Lounge for fun and absurdity at times; it certainly has now.

37. Misunderstood, as always
kind of like our dear departed friend

which was the point of my deleted post

I'll never forget the day he posted a thread "I am a freeper"

For those of us who have an opinion other than the group think around here,or any of many who have taken that label without cause, it was an anthem.

thats what I meant

"New Speedway Boogie"
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia
Copyright Ice Nine Publishing; used by permission

Please don't dominate the rap Jack
if you got nothing new to say
If you please don't back up the track
This train got to run today

Spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
Heard some say better run away
Others say you better stand still

Now I don't know but I been told
it's hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand I heard it said
it's just as hard with the weight of lead

Who can deny? Who can deny?
it's not just a change in style
One step done and another begun
in I wonder how many miles?

Spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
Things went down we don't understand
but I think in time we will

Now I don't know but I been told
in the heat of the sun a man died of cold
Do we keep on coming or stand and wait
with the sun so dark and the hour so late?

You can't overlook the lack Jack
of any other highway to ride
It's got no signs or dividing lines
and very few rules to guide

Spent a little time on the mountain
Spent a little time on the hill
I saw things getting out of hand
I guess they always will

I don't know but I been told
if the horse don't pull you got to carry the load
I don't know whose back's that strong
Maybe find out before too long

One way or another
One way or another
One way or another
this darkness got to give
One way or another
One way or another
One way or another
this darkness got to give
