I'm jealous of LiberalHistorian and Night Train.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

Why don't I know any of you better?! I don't have anyone here that would call me or I would call. It's like I get glimpses of you, but I don't talk to any of you regularly. I think it'd be nice to have a few DU buds. Anyone else feel that way? I think if I disappeared, you'd never know it. And that would be sad. I could die, and you wouldn't get a chance to mourn me because you never knew me. Let's fix that...
God I've got to get off this medication. It's making me sappy.

1. Hey Rubber Duckie

We all know "you're the one"!

Pass those meds this way....

[NightTrain]

2. Just do what I did.

Pick a few DUers who you find particularly cool. Drop those DUers a PM and ask if they'd like to exchange e-mails. If you get any nibbles, start exchanging e-mails. If things go well, eventually you might exchange phone numbers. After that, who knows? You might just make plans to meet up, as LH and I have done.

Good luck to ya!

3. it's not difficult

i have several DU buds. drop a PM and say hey. worked for me several times! :bounce:

4. Sometimes though

You can connect with someone so well you can hardly believe it and no way to really see each other regularly. It can be frustrating. Hypothetically speaking of course.

5. In the wise words of DU's own Skinner (maybe you've heard of him)

"Third -- You should also not send any emails to other members, and you should not provide any personal information directly to anyone else on this board. You may think that person is trustworthy, but the truth is that YOU DON'T KNOW THAT PERSON AT ALL."

11. Great Pics

Where do you find this stuff? Did you do this yourself?

6. Organize a local DU gathering

The Twin Cities DUers meet fairly regularly. In fact, I just back from a gathering attended by myrna minx, no name no slogan, and leftist rebel.

7. I met the woman of my dreams on here

And others have met their matches too.

Just like anywhere else, there's hit and miss, and gems among the whackjobs.

Good luck. :-)

8. ZombyWoof speaks the truth, Grasshopper.

You must be willing to kiss many frogs before you find a prince. Or princess, as the case may be.

9. I know what you mean

I disappeared already and no one noticed.

10. Jealousy is harmful to your health

I'm new here. I'm crazy about this. I'm responding to anyone and everyone.

Liberals should all love each other.

Rage against the dying of the light.

We do what we have to do to find out what we need to know.

Etc.

However, I can't imagine trading phone numbers here, unless I'd been talking to someone for a LONG damned time.

In the meantime, don't die, YellowRubberDuckie. I would mourn.

12. I checked your profile to see if you were male or female

I know someone who lives in your same town.

Does your name begin with an A?

I would crap my pants if you are her.

PM me if it does - ok?

:-)

13. Don't feel bad

I don't think anyone here wants to be my pen pal either.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

14. I'm looking for friends and penpals...

I already have a boyfriend that I'm planning on marrying when I get out of college. Romance online is scary. Been there, done that. Don't want to do it again.

15. Hey, Duckie... I could die twice and no one here would notice!

So don't feel bad.
