This is my first post ever in the DU Lounge

[oberliner]

Spent my first two days as a DU member arguing about I/P in GD.

It's rough out there!

2. Sit down

Welcome to DU! :hi:

3. It is tough in there all right.

There are lots of forums too cool off in too though.

[idgiehkt]

4. wow.

lol. I guess it's good to start with the hard part first sometimes, lol. Isn't that the most cantankerous forum around here?

[oberliner]

5. Thanks!

Thanks, all, for the welcome!

I've been a DU reader since the 2004 elections.

Great to finally be a poster!

6. There used to be a foot masseuse...

But we had to let him go after he started licking Matcom's Toes. :evilgrin:
On Edit: It was much funnier in my head, and I should have replied to whoever told you to kick off your shoes. DOH!

11. Congrats

and I hope you enjoy it here in the Lounge. I've been in the Lounge for the most part during the whole 'Crisis in the Middle East'. It's the summer, I don't want to be stressed out arguing about it. Anyway, again I hope you enjoy colling off here!

[OhioBlue]

I did get to meet and campaign for Sherrod Brown!

[OhioBlue]

26. i've recently volunteered for his campaign

myself. we're having a meeting with his field director out of Lorain on Thurs. Even tho you can't vote for him anymore, you can still donate and encourage your friends to... maybe a house party? :) this is a Senate race we can win and it will benefit all of the United States... :)
