Today marks my official 22nd DUnniversary. ( had lurked for quite some time [View all]

before actually signing up). I just want to thank this amazing community for your gifts of friendship, community, solidarity, infomation, arts, trivia. . .in short, for being the amazing and wonderful beings that you are. What little bit of sanity I have left in this new millenium is thanks, in large part, to all of you.

Plese join me in a toast to one of the very best communities on the web. I love you all, (some more than others, of course)!
