On the eve of Thanksgiving I want to give thanks for DU among other things
Since I'm surrounded by people who are either uninterested in politics or right wingers DU is where I come when I want some intelligent conversation. DU lets me scratch my intellectual itch and quite possibly keeps me from committing mayhem on some of my more differently clued acquaintances and family members.
Thank you all for being here and reading and sometimes responding to my brain farts I like to pretend are nuggets of wisdom but really are mostly nuggets of something considerably less beneficent. Thank you all for posting links to wonderful articles and news sources, profound and hilarious cartoons, fascinating articles on science and links to great music I've never heard before. Thank you for helping me learn to save money by giving me Frugal tips and teaching me about Energy Efficiency, helping with me with my Computer Support problems and how to eat better by Cooking & Baking.
I also wish to especially thank those of you DUers who are working and paying taxes that enable me to collect SS now as well as a little bit in Food Stamps, you guys make it possible for me to have a reasonably comfortable living despite my circumstances.
May all of you have a great and joyful Thanksgiving.

I am also so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of DU!
LOL! I feel the same way as you do! : "DU lets me scratch my intellectual itch and quite possibly keeps me from committing mayhem on some of my more differently clued acquaintances and family members."
Happy Thanksgiving Fumesucker!
