New here, anything I need to know?

[Lincolngirl]

I just wonder if there are any hints ya'll can give me? Anything I should know, keep an eye out for, that will make the site easier to navigate?
Just looking for ideas, help, and want to say hello to all.
Happy to be here!

1. First, Welcome to DU!

Second, you may want to take a peep at the DU dictionary of Freepology. It'll make things around here make more sense more quickly.

[LostinVA]

2. Post a thread saying how much you love Olive Garden and think breastfeeding in public is gross

[Parche]

9. I thought breast feeding in public was ok?

Got to keep abreast of the situation

:hi: :hug:

[old mark]

17. Not if you're the feeder

and over 13.

[Sebastian Doyle]

34. Only if it's Salma Hayek

:evilgrin:

[malta blue]

3. welcome to DU!

:hi:

Do you have a recipe for corn-flake crusted chicken?

[skygazer]

4. We're all completely mad

Except for me. And Agent Mike. Oh, and my woolly mammoth...

:hi:

[Lincolngirl]

38. How is Snuffy?

Or, a different name?

[DarkTirade]

42. We're all mad here.

[LeftyFingerPop]

5. Get really drunk, then PM Skinner complaining about how the site is managed...he loves that!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Lincolngirl]

6. No more for me

Drinking and I don't mix. I can be annoying without it tho!
I'll give that a try some time tho. Watch what happens!

[LeftyFingerPop]

7. I hope you know that...

I was entirely joking, except for the welcome. :)

[Lincolngirl]

12. I do!

Believe me, if I could I would!! LOL No offense taken.

Have one for me next time.

And, thanks for the welcome.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear Lincolngirl!

Welcome to DU!

The Lounge is the living, beating heart of DU!

Come here to play, post pictures, laugh, gossip, have fun!

But be careful!

It's very addicting...

:hi:

[Aristus]

10. Hi, Lincolngirl. I'll just tell you that CaliforniaPeggy calls everyone "My dear..."

It's very sweet, and we all love it. Plus, read her poetry threads; they're terrific.

Other than that, patronize the Lounge frequently, wear full-body armor when venturing into General Discussion, and it's wise to say 'no' to 9 of the 10 things people ask you in GD - Presidential.

:hi: Welcome!

[Parche]

11. Dont Drop You Pedegg Shavings In DU

:grr: :hi:

[Lincolngirl]

13. Awwwe..

Now where do I put em?

[flvegan]

14. Watch out for Midlodemocrat's mighty clique!

And importantly for the Lounge, know this...ANY topic can result in a flamewar.

[Lincolngirl]

19. wow,

Sounds daunting!

[Midlodemocrat]

22. And to think I just sent you a case of Omaha Steaks.

:cry:

[av8rdave]

15. Welcome to DU!

[Lincolngirl]

16. thanks all

Keep it coming.
I've been on a Conspiracy forum lately, and there is too much hate. I figure here I can be with those I share some common thoughts with, without all the hate.
Got pretty tough skin, so m looking forward to it.

Addiction, ah, familiar, that's why I joined. Needed to get away from the other, and be around less nonsense. Seems like there is less here.

[Lincolngirl]

18. Evening people?

Anything to add?

[bigwillq]

20. Hello.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[jakefrep]

21. Don't call anybody a douchebag!

[Midlodemocrat]

23. Wow. Even after all this time, you are still a douchebag.

[jakefrep]

40. Nice sexist post, Mooselini!

[yy4me]

24. Welcome to DU. I try to remember to think twice, post once and

to remember that Spell-Check is your friend.

Other than that, have fun. Do take time to look at the other forums and groups. There are tons of interesting topics.

[Redstone]

25. Yo. The only advice I can offer is that you should never, EVER, pay any attention

to anything that I say.

(Oh, and also that Cal Peg really IS as nice as she seems to be. Most of the other DU Loungers are as well, but remember to stay clear of posts by that Redstone clown if you know what's good for you.)

26. The lounge LOVES cats

So if you want lots of replies be sure to post kitty pictures of some sort....:hi:
Welcome to DU (my resident purr checker is helping me post this!)

[Deja Q]

27. Keep an eye out for me. I'm weird.

:D

(You should see the photoshop of me juggling eyeballs, but it's a tad creepy... I prefer the one where I'm hanging off a wine chalice, next to some green apples and a bottle of scotch...)

[texanwitch]

28. Welcome to the Lounge.

Feel free to talk about kudzu.

The Lounge is just a place to relax and be silly.

[matcom]

29. are you hot?

PM me

:rofl:

:hi:

But truck loads of sophomoric innuendo is mandatory :thumbsup:

[Lincolngirl]

32. Thanks to you all!

I'll try to remember.

My kitten is attacking my hoodie as we speak, so I got the Cat thing down!

[libnnc]

[Lincolngirl]

37. Much more fun than

The other forum I've been hanging out at.
Pheww,
Too much hate!

[Rabrrrrrr]

39. Yeah, stay off my fucking lawn, pull your fucking pants up, and stop listening to shitty music.

Jesus.

And welcome to DU! :hi:

Good to have you here!

[DarkTirade]

41. If somebody under a bridge demands a toll and threatens to eat you if you don't pay...
