[CO Liberal]

I had enought trouble driving over Wolf Creek Pass, which is about 12,000 feet above sea level.

[Turn CO Blue]

[CO Liberal]

71. But I Think I'd Have Trouble Breathing

I have a punctured diaphrahm, the result of emergency surgery to remove my spleen in 1971. It reduces my lung capacity. However, that didn't stop me from smoking for 25 years.....

[BrklynLiberal]

4. How long have you been on DU?

[CO Liberal]

39. I Joined on September 9, 2001

Just before the attacks.

[benny05]

5. Have you personally met John and Elizabeth Edwards? n/t

[CO Liberal]

It's an odd coincidence. My middle name is Edward, and I used to DJ under the name "Wayne Edwards".

I grew up in Northern NJ, where it was about 300 feet above sea level. Then we moved to Henderson, NV (2000 feet) and then to Pueblo, which is 4,700 feet. I work in Colorado Springs, which is nearly 6,000 feet. There are times I still have trouble breathing, and I've been here since 1995.

[48pan]

8. How long did it take you to reach 1000?

I've been here a year and just passed 200. I guess I'm not chatty enough.

[Not_Giving_Up]

12. I guess not

I've only been coming here since the beginning of November, and I've already broke 1,000.

[CO Liberal]

44. I Don't Remember

I figured out a while back I was averaging 20 posts a day, so it doesn't take me long to get from one milestone to the next.

[Dr.Phool]

10. Can you pass a football? I can't even swallow one!

[CO Liberal]

45. I Had Enough Trouble Passing a Kidney Stone

:-)

[BrklynLiberal]

[stevedeshazer]

13. Boxers or briefs?

You asked, okay?

[CO Liberal]

47. Briefs

And when I was very small, my family had a boxer. His name was Buster, and I rode him like a horse.

[stevedeshazer]

81. To Buster,

May you someday recover from your experience in Doggie Heaven... :)

[intheflow]

14. What did you want to be when you grew up?

I'm talking when you were under the age of 10. Not a current event question! ;)

[CO Liberal]

48. A Radio DJ

Dan Ingram on WABC in New York was my idol. The closest I ever got was DJ-ing in bars and at weddings.

[clydefrand]

15. Do you know EVERYTHING?

I thought I did and I'm no where near your number of posts. ;-)

I know that I know everything, but I just can't remember it!!!

And that's the truth.

[CO Liberal]

49. I Know Enough to Know What I Don't Know

:-)

[shesemsmom]

16. Do you have Kids

[CO Liberal]

My son is 29 and helps manage a restaurant in Wharton NJ. My daughter is 28 and is a vet tech in Landing, NJ. I'm very proud of both of them.

[proud2BlibKansan]

[autorank]

20. Is that actually you in the avatar picture?

[CO Liberal]

That picture was taken of me at a Halloween Dance in October of 1991. That was the night that The Princess and I first met. Tomorrow is the 13th anniversary of our first official date. We celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary in February.

[hollywood926]

Give or take a few.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. How do you find out

how many posts you have? Is the exact number listed somewhere?

[DemBones DemBones]

26. Click on your own profile and you'll see your true post count. nt

[hollywood926]

24. Why doesn't it say 26,970 posts instead of 1000+?

[CO Liberal]

55. They Used to Post Exact Post Totals

But just before I hit 13,000 they changed that. So I posted like hell to hit 13,000 before they chnaged to 1000+.

[cookies7]

25. Wow

This post is only #3 for me! I think, I lost track..lol. Ok, question...is there a refresh on here or something so I can see when someone replies to my posts? And why does my clock on here say it's already new years eve at 4:31 am?

[DemBones DemBones]

27. You can set your time zone by going to your preferences

under "Options."

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[cookies7]

28. Thank You.

[DemBones DemBones]

35. You're welcome. It takes a while to figure out the neighborhood

but the Lounge is always a good place to ask for help.

[CO Liberal]

62. And DU Is a Pretty Good Neighborhood

:-)

[cookies7]

30. Just one follow-up question

Where do I find "options" or "preferences"

[DemBones DemBones]

34. Get on a page where you see a bunch of words & icons across the

top of the screen. I think you see it from all the pages (i.e., the Lounge page, the Late Breaking News page, etc.) but you may have to go to "Lobby" or "Latest."

You'll see one called "My Posts" which will show you all your posts in the past 24 hours plus any replies to them. Further to the right, you'll see "Options" -- click on that and you find a whole menu of things to play with. ;-)

[CO Liberal]

56. Go to the Lobby

Click on the "Options" icon at the top of the page to set your prefereces.

[intheflow]

37. Hiya cookies7!

Is that name like "007" only sweeter?

/wise guy mode

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[cookies7]

38. I like your thought process!

:hi: That is actually quite accurate. I'm much sweeter that "007" was. On some days that is.

[eyesroll]

29. Which films do you recommend for the "kids room" at a NYE party?

I've got Shrek on DVD and The Little Mermaid on VHS -- think that'll work, or will I need more?

[CO Liberal]

57. Maybe One More

Like one of the "Police Academy" movies. They should all be asleep by the time it's over.

[Streetdoc270]

32. How does a duck know

what direction south is?

[CO Liberal]

58. I'm Not Sure

Just this afternoon, The Princess and I saw a flock of geese flying west.

[Darranar]

33. If you could be granted one wish, and that wish...

could not include the ability to be granted any more wishes, what would that wish be?

[CO Liberal]

59. I'd Want Unlimited Wishes For My Wife, The Princess

:-)

[DemBones DemBones]

36. Dude, you know you can't hit 27,000 without

answering the questions!!! :eyes:

[CO Liberal]
