My introduction to AAIG

[Number23]

WHY am I just now stumbling across this group?? :) I've only clicked in 4 threads and already this place is like Heaven.

Hi AAIG'ers. I'm Number23, a married black chick originally from the SWAts who somehow wound up in South Australia.

I see alot of names in this forum that I already admire and like. I have a feeling this place might turn into my oasis when other parts of DU start making me feel as though I want to take a switchblade to my computer, which is sadly becoming a just about every day experience.

Looking forward to getting into the conversation. :hi:

2. Thanks, L_A! I appreciate the welcome

Any ideas on how we can get this forum used more widely?? I know that there are plenty of AA posters here and a few really cool white people. :)

I kind of consider you to be the Regent here since I see your name in several posts in this forum.

9. LOL

Now I feel really old! Seriously, I stumbled on this site in 2001, angry like a lot of other people about the stolen election. Don't have time to post much; but read a lot of what's on the board. This place has helped me hone my "discussions" with the right-wringers in my life.

:)

And 200 posts in 7 years?? You are a goddess of moderation! I bow to you! :)
