So today, for my 100,000th post...

I wish to thank EarlG and Skinner and everyone that is Democratic Underground for being my main source for info and entertainment, I love and thank you all for companionship and the help you give when needed!

As for the current times, what a catastraphuck! I have felt all along that we would come to this, though I had sincerely hoped we could avoid it, and now we face the deciding moment of our existence, will we prevail as a Democracy or not?

I suspect that there will be massive uprising this year, especially this summer, and that will be the beginning of our revival as a nation with renewed vows to keep our Democracy and cleanse it of the graft and corruption that has plagued us for too long.

I hope that everyone here can find and muster the strength and fortitude required to meet the moment and prevail because it is going to take all of us to make it happen.

SO LET'S DO THIS!!

And as Ryan Hall says, "Don't be scared, be prepared!"

It's going to be a tough year for most of us so let's support one another and go forward knowing the mission we must complete.

This is a safe place kinda away from the maddening crowds.

It’s getting close to the time to put away the seed catalog and get to planting, thats a sure stress relief.

I'm just getting settled in at the new place, been here 5 weeks-ish, so sorting out everything in my life from the menagerie of boxes and tubs that were heaped in here has taken some time. Plus I had some virus thing for a couple weeks. But I know where my seed cache is. I also have to package some seeds promised to other gardeners and then edit a pile of pictures also promised to others. I'm almost done putting everything away. Hopefully I can get to those things soon, I have pictures to post here.

Another DUer reaches 6 figures.

I've been a member on-and-off since 2004 (my post count doesn't reflect that because of my own stupidity in 2007) and I'll never reach 6 figures!

Congratulations, 2naSalit.

I didn't post for a couple of days because I wanted to say something special at my 1000th post! And back then newyawker99 posted Milestones - and she was the one who originally welcomed me to DU - on my very first post.
