I always get that sinking feeling
when ever I think about posting. I want to make some friends in the lounge but I'm afraid to put myself out there. Know what I mean, Vern?

30. Oh, I know who Fred Sanford is
and my sweet, aging mother, has begun to use the faint of heart tactics on my brothers and myself. I appreciate you answering it means a lot to me.

11. Yep you'er in here
and I'm so happy to have a few folks stop in to visit. I'm still getting the hang of posting my own threads. I worry no one will want to get to know me. Enough about me. But what about you...how you doin'?

16. Sure enough
I'm about half shy in real life until I get over myself. I think my other problem is, most people come to me, to get to know me. I don't often put myself out there, I generally attract fine people.

17. The whole "shame" thing will wear off.
Try posting embarrassing or borderline inappropriate pictures of yourself.
It will eventually desensitize you.

22. Uh huh
That'll be the day. Plus I'm technically challenged. I have a scanner but I don't know the whys and wherefores of posting pictures. I used to have my face where my ass is, oops my GOP can kiss my ass Donkey, but it seemed inappropriate, after awhile.

25. Well, I guess, I am then
I always wanted to be. I spend a heck of a lot of time reading the news in the other forums. I come to the lounge and snoop, and make remarks, but feared being ignored. Thanks for stoppin' in, Southpawkicker. Nice talkin' to ya.

24. My dear libodem!
Welcome to the Lounge, sweetie!

This is a fun place, I can tell you!

And I peeked at your profile, only to discover that you joined DU a few days after I did!

It was a very good month for DU, wasn't it?

Have some good times!

:pals:

28. Thank you very much
I feel very pleased to have finally been addressed as 'my dear' by you. That really makes me feel like one of the gang. DU is actually the first place I ever came to, after I got a computer and got on line. It fills a need to connect with like minded Democrat people.
