(6,738 posts)Thought your handle was 8647! Phew!
I joined DU initially around late 2001 or 2002 DU was very new. I thought of using NIX_47 as my new ID as NIX means the same thing as 86.
Acting AG big-T little-Odd B know very well what 86 means he's just playing ignorant which seems to be naturally easy for members of this administration.
And then there is the enemies list.
But I'm preaching to the choir.
Thanks again snowybirdie

(21 posts)I really thought Obama was an indication that better times were ahead, I was so proud of my country.
That very night Mitch McConnell swore that Obama would be a one term president. Thats when the GOP offically embraced full-on hate. IMHO of course.
Skittles, I remember you!
It's nice to be back

There was someone here that liked to correct my grammar. The same person made an abundance of spelling mistakes themselves and I take screenshots of it, just in case they want to make an issue out of my mistakes. lol

(1,192 posts)I'm a return resident also. First joined in 2007 or 2008. I have been reading du earlier than that by way of Bartcop.
I was more involved locally at that time with brave new films holding "house parties" and regeristing voters during Kerry's run for president.
I lost my account when du went down after Obama was elected. and didn't rejoin til much later. Hubby lame54 got his old account back right away.
Glad you are back
