Can I give a shout-out to this Group?

[DeepModem Mom]

I'm, as I've said, "semi-retired" from DU, and in and out of this Group I originally organized. But today, I was in and out quite a bit, and I learned about and shared about things as diverse as the tragedy in Haiti, Michelle as a fashion icon, the Obama-Clinton-Bush press conference, and "voudoo." It was okay here to be interested in all of those topics.

My hat is off to all of you who carry on "up there." My appreciation goes to those of you who got our Mission Statement updated, and the Group revitalized. My heart is with all of you who post here, bringing with you your convictions, your good sense, your humor, your camaraderie, your anger and frustration, your support for each other.

I don't know what the future holds for this little corner of the site that hosts us, for DU, for our Party, for the President we support. But here's to you all!

7. Thank YOU, DeepModem Mom!

If it weren't for the BOG, the Lounge, and a couple of other smaller forums I visit, I wouldn't hardly be around DU at all.

8. What a fantastically lovely post. It's too bad that you're semi-retired because this place could

use a hundred more just like you.

13. Hey you!

You need to come around more often. This forum has been a godsend; otherwise I would have probably left entirely. I don't post nearly as much as I used to but I am appreciative of everyone who carries on here. :hi:
