"Is there anybody OUT there" (Pink Floyd) - I KNOW there are other parents out there!

The group has been REALLY slow and it's a good one to keep around. We're not all older parents. A lot of DU members have youngins and can use some advice. I'm gettin' out my ruler here!

Take time to familiarize yourself with the TOS here--it will help you figure out what's what in this election year: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=termsofservice

It's a great place, and addictive, too!

Each forum and group has a button along the top of its main page that says "About This Forum" or "About This Group". When you venture into a new place for the first time, that's a good place to start. The "SOP" (statement of purpose) is often the reason a thread will bet hidden. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
