do you have family members on DU?

[pres2032]

just curious because i know there are married couples on here. does anyone else have family members on here?

[HEyHEY]

1. Does spurned lover count?

[pres2032]

4. do you consider her family still?

[Optimus Primestein]

8. That's half the people here.

Really - it is.

[Tweed]

21. I'm sorry I did that to you HEyHEY

I thought you would understand....

[sandnsea]

2. let's see

If a person had a mom or dad on here, then the mom or dad would have a child, right? I don't see child as an option.

3. just added it

caught my mistake

[sandnsea]

12. It's easy to forget kids

Or at least easy to want to forget them. (kidding, it's a joke, I love my kids, honest!)

5. One of my sisters is a fellow DUer

[pres2032]

7. added that option

[jonnyblitz]

20. sister also (hey DODI)

:hi:

[arcane1]

6. lmao, hardly...

I'm the only lib in my entire family, and while I have several friends IRL who are DUers, I met them all via DU

[Optimus Primestein]

9. same here - I come from a long line of proud Republicans -

I am an anomaly (and, I like it that way)

[arcane1]

14. indeed

I don't know how, but somehow the racism and republicanism (any difference?) in my home-town never stuck to me

some speculated that I am an alien :P

[iconoclastic cat]

18. What the hell is going on in that pic in your sigline?

Is * partying with Frist, or what?

[arcane1]

19. hehe

I don't recall where I found it, or where it's from, but it looks to me like a feline who knows an evil bastard when it sees one :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. i think you are a bit queer too

:P

[arcane1]

28. maybe a bit

takes one to know one, though :P

[pres2032]

10. my family is really mixed

about half dems, half repubs. really fits my area which is also split. none of my dem family members are on here though.

[barb162]

11. they'd all be at freep city, I'm the only Dem in my family

[Wickerman]

13. ex-wife

we arrived here independently.

[fluffernutter]

15. no one that i know of.

[RetroLounge]

16. None.

17. My wife, but she doesn't waste a fraction of the time I do on here.

:D

[proud patriot]

22. My dad posts pretty rarely

but he chimes in every now and again.

[Kire]

23. Why no option for none?

I have a friend, not on DU (but a Democrat), who has absolutely no family in the world. She was adopted, her parents were only children, she's divorced (I forget the rest of the story). Why no love for her?

And, I don't have any family on DU. I want to vote.

[pres2032]

24. make her a "cousin"

[onecent]

25. My son who is a Chiropractor frequently passes through since

I send him stuff from here all the time.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

27. My sister is now a Lounge Lizard

After hearing me talk about DU incessantly, she finally ventured here herself, and now you can't get her out of the Lounge.

[Bertha Venation]

29. I couldn't vote in your poll, and both Mrs. V. and I are here.

Mrs. V. is not my "wife." Obviously she is not my "husband." If I had to choose a word that everyone on earth could understand, it would be "spouse" -- even though that's not legally true yet.

She is my beloved mate and my life-long partner.

Maybe that's the problem with the radical right (not your poll, by any means): not all gay couples use a gender-identifying label for our other halves. Or, we refuse to be pigeon-holed for their understanding.

30. Couldn't vote because you didn't have the right category

My aunt Anita, a retiree from the US Air Force, posts here once in a great while as "Gracie 43."

She lives in New Hampshire now. I haven't actually seen her in about 12 years.
