After lurking here since Friztmas and shrub, I finally got the guts to post. I loved reading about your joys and cried with you in your sorrows. Now I can be a part of this family. Thank you

75. Welcome to the discussions

[debm55]

76. Thank you all again!

Why did I wait so long? I felt I couldn't keep up with the knowledge and wit. Always tell my husband, Roxybear, about what is posted on DU. So he signed up first.

We liver very near Braddock, PA and the home of our next PA Senator-John Fetterman.

The only thing I miss is if I read a post in the morning and came back in the evening all the new post would have a yellow box showing it was an unread post. I don't have that now.
