Don't mean to post trivial stuff but.....

[MichaelHarris]

Whooo hooo I got a star by name, I'm part of the community now. My dog thanks you, I thank you, and my fish thank you. My wife thanks you also, after all it was her money I used.

3. "Don't mean to post trivial stuff?"

SON! This is the Lounge! All we do is post trivial stuff! Mostly just to spite the serious politicos who start flame wars in GD2004!

4. Trivial stuff ...

In the LOUNGE??? Well, this is the place usually reserved for important stuff, like deciding what toppings people should have on their pizza!

Congratulations on the star! It's quite lovely! :hi:

5. In a place where people regularly describe

the state of their underwear
ask for deodorant recommendations
ask for song lyrics
?

Mr. Harris, there is no question too trivial for the Lounge---many too substantive but none too trivial!
(Oh, and you were part of the community the moment you signed up. Now you can search for stuff and pick on Freepers with more confidence!)

6. Thanks all

Thanks all, I had been wanting to join up for awhile, ever since I got banned from a bunch of conservative forums. I wear my bans as a badge of honor. Ya know, those conservatives are a mean lot aren't they? I bought a domain and started setting up a site for people to write political commentary. My nephew and niece are in school at Texas A&M, a very conservative school. They have promised articles about being a liberal at a predominately conservative school. I would like to invite everyone to submit ideas and articles for the site. Its in its "early days" so it doesn't look like much. www.ypeace.org

7. You're part of the community whether or not one has a star

So those who don't have stars - you ARE part of the community!!

8. Very true, Rab. Well stated.

Still, I wear my star like a badge of pride. I renew it every quarter (just to get the cool bumper sticker), as well as sponsoring someone that deserves it.

For the life of me, I can't remember who I "starred" this quarter, and I'm too lazy to search for it. Someone from Texas, I think... No matter. It felt wonderful.
