If I need to go between DU3 and old DU so I don't miss anything, I'll lose the few brain cells I have left.

Testin' out the new stuff. It is all right. Did you all know that Kos just "updated" and we are all still getting used to it? It is kind of confusing but I am beginning to "get it". This one looks a lot easier to navigate ...so far.

Love

I would leave for good. That site was a pain before, now it's impossible to use. I've yet to find a browser it doesn't crash.

I tried it in Firefox, Opera, NetSurf, and Dillo. Being a Linux user, I'd sooner hang myself than use Internet Explorer, but maybe DKos is optimized for that browser. Yuk.

out to see how it feels to post here...in the place that feels like home.

I found all the hubbub surrounding the change confusing....mostly ignored it....

I am sure I'll get used to it....
or not....

whatever...

Had a lovely 2 hour walk outside today in a gorgeous nature reserve....drew a line and stepped over it...
in celebration of Uranus moving forward.....and so it is.

(where do you find the smilies?)

...I forgot that the "old days" this was much closer to what is was like. Huh. What you observe will help me adjust, thanks!

How do I get the emoticons, anyone know? I just want to wave, lol.

was like a dying planet. Amazing to see the same metaphor (minus the dying part) here tonight. It felt so surreal to me over there, and all those people who just aren't going to come over here, and I had an image of people who chose to stay behind while others left for the new planet. It felt surreal, and that's what I called it.

They were talking about setting up house and changing the name of the site as if skinner et el were going to leave the juice turned on for them indefinitely. I had to laugh, I mean is there any remants of DU1 left around anywhere? Sad man, sad.

I felt like I had traveled a worm hole and here I am in a new world that feels so familiar but if so foreign. Your metaphor made me think of 2012 and the ascension stories and the left behinds etc. Although should the xtians leave I am DEFINITELY going to stay behind cause we might get to clean up the mess and keep our planet lovely for awhile.
