Also I am temporarily now staying with a friend, the eviction process has been completed by the landlord....

It is times like this that humbles me & reminds me why I joined DU at the age of 14 back in 2004... DU has always been more than just a discussion board, to me I have literally grown up here, I have shared here & more importantly I have learned so much & have met some really great mentors here.

You have taught me from an early age, & you tested me throughout my teens & into the coming of age. I am without a shadow of doubt a better & more knowledgeable person & Democrat because of the many wonderful & selfless individuals on this site.

My life has not been the easiest, I didn't grow up with much money or come from a privileged family. However my life has been shaped by many challenges & tough times, yet as I have grown up here I have confirmed what I always suspected & that is that no matter how bad my life may be, I don't have to go far to find someone who is facing adversities that I can scarcely imagine.

DU has been my home & the source of an incredible education not only in my personal life, but I have learned how to be the best Democrat that is informed & educated on the policies & principles that we, DU & the Democratic Party stand for, fight for & always continue to cherish & challenge those that try to tear us down & exaggerate our positions.

So Thank- You DU for the ongoing support that you continue to humble me with day after day, & very literally year after endless year, this place is truly one of a kind because of you the DU community!
