For my 130,000th post, a heartfelt, profound THANK YOU to EarlG, [View all]

Elad, and the entire DU community. DU is my home, my sanctuary, my safe haven, and never more so than in these treacherous, dangerous times. This community has always been my lifeline, one to which I have clung ever more desperately these last few weeks of horror and insanity.

Before I start crying again, hugggggggs to you all. I LOVE YOU!!!
