I have learned so much at DU over the years

[JitterbugPerfume]

Books I would never have read


Activists I would never have known about


Points of view I would never have been exposed to

and you , the cool well informed YOU (well most of you )


what have you learned at DU?

[rug]

1. That chicken is not a safe subject.

[JitterbugPerfume]

2. LOL

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

3. Chain restaurants are the spawn of Satan.

[JitterbugPerfume]

5. yes they are

especially the evil Olive Garden

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Whew. Thought you were gonna say Cracker Barrel.

And, tomorrow is chicken pot pie day!!!!

:woohoo:

:woohoo:

[JitterbugPerfume]

8. Cracker Barrel is

untouchable

[Midlodemocrat]

15. IT's the flaky crust, isn't it?

[JitterbugPerfume]

21. yep!

I loves me some lard!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. Except for Maggianos

[HopeHoops]

4. Don't forget narwhals!

FUCK YEAH!!!!1

And breast feeding at Olive Garden while having a cheese sandwich.

[JitterbugPerfume]

6. I barely knew what a narwhal is!

However I did know about breast feeding, Olive Garden and cheese sandwiches

[sammythecat]

9. A lot.

It's entertaining, but also there are a lot of well-informed, smart, and thoughtful people here on DU, and their insights and perspectives are often those that might never have occurred to me if it wasn't for DU. I've learned a lot here over the years. I consider it a valuable resource. :)

[JitterbugPerfume]

10. me too Sammy!

even in the Lounge:evilgrin:

[sammythecat]

11. Yes, even in the lounge. Absolutely. n/t

[JitterbugPerfume]

12. would you believe that

one of the best . most involved book discussions ever on DU was right here in the Lounge (YEARS ago)

It was on A Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood

[Bertha Venation]

13. That not everyone appreciates feral rescue, and that it is okay to

be tenderhearted.

:hi: JP :hug:

[JitterbugPerfume]

14. If I judge people at all

I judge them by the way they treat their fellow creatures:hi: :loveya:

[Rosie1223]

16. Don't post your picture in the lounge unless

you don't mind seeing your head photoshopped onto something that is very unlike your body.

[JitterbugPerfume]

19. Damn!

did that really happen to you?

[Rosie1223]

22. Me? no

but I've seen numerous examples. I didn't have to learn the hard way.

[Midlodemocrat]

30. Live and learn, freeper, live and learn.

:rofl:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

37. Uh oh...

I wonder if this has happened to me?

Come to think of it, I might be amused by that. :rofl:

[Tikki]

18. Nearly everyone here is hipper and...

more clued in than in the general public...

..and that's the truth..

Tikki

[JitterbugPerfume]

20. that is a reason why I love it

I am 68 (ancient old woman) and DU helps me keep up

It is like my sister said after she had her stroke-- I might be a stroke patient , but I don't have to look and act like one!

I might be old , but I'll be damned if I won't at least try to keep up and DU does that for me

[keroro gunsou]

23. i learned

not to tutch the but

[JitterbugPerfume]

26. you are a butt tutcher!

I can tell

Do not try to deny it!

[keroro gunsou]

39. /set mode bender on

lies! lies and slander!

/set mode off

eol.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear JitterbugPerfume!

I've learned many things here...

I've learned who I am.

And what I can do, esp. with poetry...

I've learned a lot about love.

And friendship...

I've learned that I will never be old, no matter what my numerical age is...

This place, and the people in it, have enriched my life beyond measure...


BTW, I'm 65, just a few years behind you...And you'll never be old either, sweetie...

It's really more a state of mind than anything else...

And as long as you have passion for the important stuff, you will never be old!



:hug:

[JitterbugPerfume]

25. and that is why

I :loveya: Peggy.


it is a state of mind and a state of arthritis LOL

[Deja Q]

27. Macs truly are better.

:)

[JitterbugPerfume]

28. and since you are Q

and you know your stuff when it comes to Sci Fi I believe you!(which has absolutely nothing to do with Mac)

:hi:

[Renew Deal]

29. PETA is a terrorist organization out for the destruction of humans

:D

[JitterbugPerfume]

31. ----

:scared:


I admire organisations like PETA and the Earth Firsters! Talk about putting action to your beliefs!

[Sky Masterson]

32. What I have learned during my time spent here.(longer than one might think)

I learned that during the lowest point of my life when I believed that nobody cared about me,I was wrong in thinking that.
I learned that I am much stronger than I thought I was.We all are.
Now I won't say that DU changed my life.
But it did help me find a few beautiful souls who helped me find myself.
Also
I learned to breathe.

[JitterbugPerfume]

33. A beautiful post Sky Masterson

I never dreamed all those years ago that DU would become a lifeline, and that I would care so deeply for people here:hug:

[Sky Masterson]

35. Thank you

I get all squishy sometimes. :D
And yeah. I love me a few DUers. :) :hug:

[JitterbugPerfume]

36. me too,

In my caseI blame it on age

[MedleyMisty]

34. I learned that most humans, even those who profess to be liberal

have boxes in their minds that they put people in and arrange in orders of value.

[JitterbugPerfume]

38. we should value everyone ,and every living thing

People and critters alike.


well- maybe not black flies and mosquitoes
