1. No way!!!! You have no idea how much I appreciate you!

:grouphug: and all the Bidenites at DU.

I was so lonely for so long.:cry:

Murbley, demmomom, and Mrigirl would come and keep me company.
And then the dear departed Likeitis :(

The nite Tsegat01 joined the effort was on a full day of Biden-bashing. When she started posting, I actually got teary-eyed.

So keep on posting gateley:yourock:

4. Awwww, how touching

I was happy to find a kindred soul in the wilderness. Now we've found LOTS of them!

Oh, there are more new people at the MSNBC board. The debate seemed to trigger some positive responses.

2. Ya know

I was looking forward to hitting the "1000" mark and I MISSED IT!!! I was "talking" so much, I was over 1000 without realizing it.

Happy 1000 Gately! And please don't shut up.

3. Please don't

Check out the traffic in this group. All you Biden supporters are organized and communicate w/each other so well here and in GD - GD-P. I agree with other posters here, make sure you Kick and Recommend all Biden posts and keep up the good work and support!

8. gateley- how'd you do that already?

I feel like I'm constantly posting during my free time and I've only got like 130 posts or something! My husband kids around w/ me all the time calling me Mrs. Blogger and look how many posts I have!

[gateley]

9. I honestly think that it was because I K&R'd a lot without messages.

It was unintentional on my part, if that's what did it. I didn't even think about those counting as posts until the day I went over 1000, and shocked when I noticed it -- I seem to recall I was in the lower 900's earlier that day.

Plus I have no life and since discovering DU, I sit here essentially all day long trying to keep up with it. It's such an amazing resource and I find myself getting drawn into one topic after another.

Edit to add: Just re-read your post. "Free Time" -- I'm currently not working and I don't have a family so pretty much all of my time is free time.

10. No way! Love your enthusiasm and support.... nt

[gateley]

11. Thank you so much! I'm glad that's how it comes across because that's

sincerely my intent.

12. I suspect you are having a good time venting

That is what is so fine about this site. You can express yourself without too much backlash. And, it's fun and interesting to read how others view issues. And, lots to learn here. Those wonderful people that allow us with the click of the mouse to read articles they have posted.

13. You're right -- it's cathartic! nt
