How do you DU?
I mean, what do YOU do when you open up DU?

Do you go to the Front Page all the time? Or do you have a bookmark to a favorite forum?

Do you roam around freely or do you check the 'Greatest' page feverishly?

Are there "purists" who never go anywhere but one forum?

This inquiring mind would like to know.

:hi:

4. I start out on the Lobby page....you know, the one where your
PM's show up.....And I'll look at those, if I have any.....

Then onto the Lounge!

I do have several other Forums I check into....

The Writer's Forum

Ohio Forum

California Forum.....

But I am truly a Lounge Lizard, and this is where I spend the vast majority of my time!

For this is home.....where my heart lives!

:hug:

7. Hi, CaliforniaPeggy!
I used to be quite the Lounge Lizard in my day.... well, not really. But I used to spend a lot more time here.

Now, I'm a political junky. And I'm lovin' it.

Keep taking those pictures, I'll be watching for them!

:hi: :smoke:

8. There WILL be more.....
I don't know when, though.....

My photographic muse has to kick me in the head before I do any!

I thank you so much, though.....it means a lot to me.....

9. Good! Obey your muse...
Never make it a chore.

Keep the camera ready to go at all times, "just in case".

6. First I check "My Posts"
Then head over to my state forum (which is usually quite) then head over to GD and will switch between that and GDP. I'll often check into the lounge, if I'm allowed, and browse around but I'm mostly a GD type of person. :7

10. I just go to the Latest Posts page.
I get a flavour of what's happened since I last logged on.

But since the Lounge got banned from that page, I have had to get good at remembering that there's always a refuge from all the scariness.

11. Here's the deal:
I usually check the birding forum, the fantasy literature forum, the California forum, or the Environment/Renewable Energy forum, then I go to the Lounge, then LBN, then GD, then GDP.

That's it. :P
