The word about DU is getting spread around...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Today, my husband and I went to a party that was hosted by a guy my husband used to work with...

It was tons of fun, good food, good drinks, and a lovely day!

A bunch of folks turned out, and of course, I had something to say...:yoiks:

We talked politics a bit...

So I talked up DU, and gave out the web address so they could see how we think!

I'm hoping I recruited a couple of new folks to our ranks!

I gave 'em my username too...

We'll see!

:woohoo:

[Common Sense Party]

1. Did you tell 'em to stay out of GD:P?

Not always a lot of thinking going on there.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear Common Sense Party...

I didn't exactly say that...

What I did say was to beware of the flamewars...

And the crazy thinkers...

I pointed out that there are also trolls and suchlike...

They heard me!

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. I always tell them to come to the Lounge

where they will be introduced, supported and loved.

Hi, CP ! :hi: :loveya: :pals:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. That's a great idea!

Heya, W_N!

:loveya: :hug: back atcha!

[CreekDog]

19. dangit

my cover is blown! :rofl: :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Uh-oh, look out!

Your cover certainly is!

My dear CreekDog!

:hug:

:rofl:

[CreekDog]

21. sssshhh

:rofl:

[Skittles]

2. I just dread the day I meet someone who is already a DUer

and I am forced to admit I am Skittles :o

[texanwitch]

4. I meet a fellow DUer who's name I knew but I didn't say who I was.

I meet her at a protest.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear Skittles!

I've met lots of DUers in person...

I've never had a problem telling them who I am...

I'd be proud to meet you, sweetie!

:hug:

And then you can really kick my ass!

[Skittles]

6. some of the more timid will be afraid of me, Ms. Peggy

with good reason :rofl:

[Connonym]

11. you're not so scary Skittles

I could totally kick yer ass :rofl:

[Skittles]

15. BRING IT ON!!

:7

[Hawkeye-X]

14. I'd recognize you from down the street, Peggy!

If you don't recognize me -- then well....

Hawkeye-X

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear HawkeyeX!

Now, I just checked your profile...

You don't say where you live...

Are you near me?

And I'd expect you'd know me, since my silly face is all over DU!

Spill it, baby!

PM if you'd rather...

Where are you?

:shrug:

[Hawkeye-X]

22. Heh. I live in Denver, home of the 2008 DNC convention

But I am flying to California next year because we booked a cruise to the Mexican Riveria.

[Connonym]

8. I'm constantly referring people here

at the Obama campaign office, at Drinking Liberally and so forth. I wonder if Skinner offers referral bonuses ;-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear Connonym!

Good for you!

I wish Skinner did, but I doubt it!

:hi:

[liberaltrucker]

12. Good on ya, Peggy!

I spread the word every chance I get. I've been known
to write the URL on men's room walls. No, I don't do
the Larry Craig Two Step! But, you knew that.

I've gotten WAY more :thumbsup: than the "Bronx Salute"
with my DU sticker on my truck window.

When I get the one finger salute, I blow 'em a kiss.
Damn, they hit the gas, never to be seen again.

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear liberaltrucker!

Oh, you are too funny!

I remember you telling me about blowing the kiss, and that makes such a great picture!

I LOVE telling people about DU!

:yourock:

:hug:

[Blue_In_AK]

16. I met another DUer on Independence Day.

We were both with the Anchorage Democrats. :hi: Arctic Dave. :hi:

ed. Peggy, I know you like the photos of Alaska. Did you see my thread here? http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7897076&mesg_id=7897076

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear Blue!

Good for you, meeting another DU'er!

It's always fun doing that...

I missed your thread...

I'll check it out, sweetie!

:hug:

[JMackT]

23. A buddy of mine turned me on to this site.

I have been reading around for a couple of days and decided to register today. This is a cool site and I really like it here.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Welcome to DU, my dear JMackT!

I'm glad you found us...

The Lounge is the place when you tire of the wars in the political forums...

Enjoy yourself, but be careful! This is a very addictive place!

:hi:

[skygazer]

24. I met a DU'er in Idaho a couple of years ago

I was taking a road trip and had my car with my DU bumper sticker. This guy approached me at a 7/11 - he'd seen the sticker and was amazed because he'd never just run into a DU'er before (he was from SoCal but in Idaho for school or something) and now he had at an Idaho 7/11. :rofl:

I wish I remembered his username... :dunce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. My dear skygazer!

What a cool story!

Maybe your friend will see this and get back in touch with you...

Thanks for sharing, sweetie...

:hug:

[Inchworm]

25. When I HAD a vehicle the bumper stickers drew a lot of questions

Now when those same people want to talk politics or jerk my chain they call me that Underground Democrat hehe. We're a minority where I live so the chain jerking descussions can be quite exciting.

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. My dear Inchworm!

I've always had a bumpersticker on my car, but it's rarely the case that anyone talks to me about it...

Alas!

I know you give as good as you get in your discussions, sweetie!

:hug:

[AngryAmish]

26. You should buy him a Chuggo CD

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear AngryAmish!

Uhhhhhhhh.....right!

Heh...I don't think so...

:scared:

[stuntcat]

31. I though..

From the thread title I thought you were gonna say you heard some sick rumors about DU!

This sounds much better though, fresh posters are (almost) always fun! Even though they'll confuse me further :crazy: :dunce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear stuntcat!

I have never heard any sick rumors about DU, thank goodness!

If any of my friends sign up, you can be sure they will be cool!

We have to do something about your confusion, though...

:hi:

[Kat45]

33. Several folks I mentioned it to had heard of it and stop by on occasion

But they just stop by to read, they're not interested in hanging out on message boards. But I'm still happy to see that people know about the site.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. My dear notmyprez!

I'm happy for the same reasons!

The more folks read here, the more the word gets out...

It's all good!

And you never know...one day they might decide they do have something to contribute!

:hi:
