Nov 6

Hello……all…….I’m very new to posting here. And…. to be truthful anywhere….I am not one to write my feelings out in the open)

I have been a “visitor “ here for many years (found this site back in the ridiculously stupid Chris Christie “bridge~gate” mess…remember that one….lol)….but never had the courage to post……

I’m still trying to figure out how to “navigate “ the community site here…….and to contribute to you all.

Thank you for the “welcome”………..I really feel good and safe here….and recognize some familiar “names”….Skittles is certainly one of them……..

Going forward I’ll do my best to fit in………and share…and feel and participate….with this wonderful Community….

It’s time I give back to DU….thanks for the Interest, thanks for the smart comments and incredible care this Community gives….

Thank you.
