Well, how time has passed

[PJMcK]

Although I had been reading DU since 2001, I didn't join until 20 years ago today. Thanks to Skinner, EarlG and Elad as well as the many members and posters who have helped make this a safe haven for all Democrats. DU is the best discussion site on the internet, in my opinion.

Every day I read this site and try to contribute when I think I have something cogent to contribute. I plan to make an anniversary gift to DU as a tribute to everyone here.

Thank you!

1. Congrats!!

I joined a month after you. I think back on how clueless I was at the time to worry that W would be our worst president ever!!

[PJMcK]

5. I , too, thought W was the end of the Republican party

How wrong we were!

Actually, look at this list of miscreants:

Richard Nixon
Ronald Reagan
George H.W. Bush
George W. Bush
Donald Trump

Talk about a downward curve!

Anyway, my one month early best wishes and have an enjoyable weekend.

I've read it since the beginning but didn't join until the end of 2017.

4. Thanks

When I started visiting this site, I hadn't learned how the internet, security, etc. worked so it took me a few years to get it.

Enjoy the weekend!

9. You too

Have fun

7. I've been here since 2002. DU kept me sane and still does.

Love your dinner time postings. Well, here we are and it is worse than we could have imagined.

8. It's hard to give up my optimism

It's a quality I was raised with and although my wife calls me a Pollyanna, I am almost always hopeful.

DU helps me realize that MAGA is a minimal force albeit a loud one. It keeps me grounded, too.

Thanks for your comment and I hope you eat well this weekend!
