I’m sure of one thing: DU is the best, and it’s the DUers who make it so! You can always find a friend or companion or someone to celebrate with you, or a shoulder to cry on, ANY hour of ANY day, here.

It’s somehow the best meeting place I’ve ever found, where complete strangers suddenly realize they have a bond with someone else here. Often it’s a bond with MANY someone elses.

I’m glad your benefits hearing went well. One thing less to worry about, ‘eh?

Love and hugs back atcha!
