it's been a long ride, folks.

When I joined DU in July of 2001, I was in IT. In fact, I was surfing the web at work when I hit the link from Salon's "Red and Blue" feature.

Olaf the White was still around, as was some guy named nsaixphnutex. I thought Will Pitt was the site admin for a week or so. :)

Two layoffs, five jobs, one major career change, a couple of Atlanta DU gatherings, four terms as a moderator, a thousand flame wars and several dozen friends come and gone later, I can't quite get my mind around the fact that the election is tomorrow.

A :toast: to every motherscratching one of you. Even you, sangha. ;-)

[NamVetsWeeLass]

23. OMG WHY?????

If these aren't photoshopped, and they are Implants, what Doctor would do this? What kinda woman wouldn't get those suckers reduced if they are hers? I had a friend from High school that had to order her bras cause stores didn't carry them big enough for her by the Ninth Grade! She was like Wearing an "M" cup I think she said I can't really remember. After High school when she got married and had insurance, she got them reduced to a large B Cup. They were causing her such tremendous back pain that she could hardly walk.

I joined shortly after you did. I can't believe that it all comes down to tomorrow. I think DU will be around with a Kerry win, but the biggest objective to this website has always been the upcoming election.

[ulysses]

15. and after all this time

I've never gotten to meet you, Kevin and the kids in person - we really need to remedy that, y'know. :hi:

[Pithlet]

16. We do!
