Hi, I'm a newb.

[BlueFireAnt]

Just wanted to check in and say hi. I won't bore the lounge with my politics, but just wanted to introduce myself. Ask me anything.

[KitchenWitch]

1. Welcome to DU

I am assuming that your politics are not of the GOP variety.

[BlueFireAnt]

2. No sweetheart.

More like the GAP variety.

[auntAgonist]

3. hi, welcome to DU

[BlueFireAnt]

4. Thanks.

I'm looking forward to making lots of great friends.

[LeftyFingerPop]

5. Welcome to DU

Enjoy your incarceration....errrr I mean....stay. :hi:

[BlueFireAnt]

6. Thanks.

I'm sure I'll be around for a long time. I plan to spend most if my time in the lounge, though. GD:P gets a little hairy for my taste.

[LeftyFingerPop]

9. The quickest way to make friends in here is to...

do copy cat threads. Lots and lots of copy cat threads. The best ones are when you just change the first letter of a one word thread title. I'm not sure why, but people really like that here.

[TZ]

11. No the quickest way to make friends here

is to listen to nothing philboy says. KIDDING!!! ;)
But you might want to cultivate a taste for all things nekkid..mole rats, yoga, posting while nekkid.
Welcome to DU!:hi:

[BlueFireAnt]

13. I love all things nekkid.

Well, not ALL things, but you get the jist of it.

7. Hi BFA . . .

welcome and have fun. quite a rowdy bunch here.

so - just what are your politics??


:evilgrin: :shrug: :hi:

[BlueFireAnt]

12. I'm a left leaning common sense individual.

I will not go along with the status quo, just because that's what everyone else does. I'm for legalization of drugs, I believe we need to get out of the war on terra. I believe 9/11 would have been an isolated event without us rushing off to war. Our "President" was fool enough to take the bait, and now we're stuck with 4000 dead troops and millions of dead Iraqis.

I believe a woman has the right to choose what she does with her own body, although I don't like it. I don't think abortion should be a repeatedly used form of birth control, but it's not my decision to make.

I believe in a society where we all share in the welth of the nation, not just a few getting all the wealth, while the rest starve.

I believe Barrack Obama should be our next president. I think his pastor was dead on with his staements, although he could have conveyed the message in a better way.

I believe Hillary Clinton should bow out for the good of the party.

I don't believe the DNC should give Al Gore the nomination, even though I think he'd make a great president. He didn't run, and to just give it to hm would be an appointment, not an election. That would be the ultimate voter disenfranchisement, if that's even a word.

There is more, but if I spill it all right now, then I won't have anything original to post.

[Bullwinkle925]

21. Hey - - -

You fit right in - I'll move over a seat and you can join me at the bar!!

Welcome, indeed.

:toast:

[BeachBaby]

8. Welcome to you, BFA!!!

:hi:

Lots of great people in here! It's always the place to be when you need a good old-fashioned belly laugh!

Keep posting - and if you're at all a specialist of the movie "Spinal Tap", you will be revered as a god around here! :)

[BlueFireAnt]

15. I can always use a good laugh.

Not much on Spinal Tap, but I'll have to check it out.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear BlueFireAnt!

Welcome to DU!

You have already found the Lounge...the living, beating heart of DU!

What brought you to DU?

:hi:

[BlueFireAnt]

14. The internet.

I'm kidding. Seriously, I've been lurking for a few weeks. I don't like to belong to alot of forums. I like to call one home, and this looks like it could be it. I was lust searching for a good, fun, left leaning place to blog. I'm really new to the whole blog thing, so I may ask some dumb questions.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. I have found that I love being here...

DU is the only major forum I belong to, and it is home...

I have a lot of online friends that are now 'real life' friends, and it's changed my life!

Dumb questions are not a problem!

:hi:

[BlueFireAnt]

17. Thanks, Peggy.

You seem to be a genuine sweetheart.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Awww...thanks!

There's enough trouble and difficulty in the world...

I'm trying to live up to my sigline, is all...

[BeachBaby]

19. She IS the DU sweetheart!

And I don't even know her yet! :)

Seriously though.....she's probably the nicest person on the site. An asset to all of us!

[ceile]

25. That is the absolute truth! n/t

We're simple souls. We fish our waters; we till our land. We snark on GD-P.

[BlueFireAnt]

29. I've made the mistake of posting my opinion, already.

Flame on.

[sarge43]

30. That's ok.

If Walter doesn't stick his piece in your face at least once, you're not one of the gang.

[BlueFireAnt]

31. Then i'm one of the gang.

It's all good though, we agreed to disagree.

[Critters2]
