Still trying to rid the brain of the last champagne bubbles and the delicious choice French cheese – sorry Dutch boeren.
Make all BooMan’s readers and Newbies feel comfortable by helping with the guests into to Frog Pond.
What a night – what a week, steel pretty much dazed. Don’t explain that’s just the champagne.
Usual good housekeeping rules – try to UNRECOMMEND to old Welcome Wagon Diaries.
Your kindness today for a recommend and lots of Mojo for the Newbies will be appreciated.

Where you Live
I just moved to Washington DC
Career or School
Today I start a new job at the Bureau of Economic Analysis. I’m a retired Navy Chief and just graduated college.
Hobbies
Riding my bicycle, reading comics and being a pain in the a## to neo-cons
Politics
Democrat. My family is union all the way. It sure made for some fun commentary my last few years in the Navy.
I’ve made my way over here from DKos. While I love that place dearly sometimes a person need a fresh outlook on things. I love community sites like this. I get the worlds new in a fashion that I trust, not like the MSM.
Welcome lisadawn182. We have some retired military members in our Democrats Abroad – Munich group. Our Democrats Abroad Chair was a doctor in the military until her base closed.
.
I love that line – one of my daily chores!
You are so very welcome – your introduction is fully successful as far as I’m concerned. Lots of political activities needs nurturing and be developed.
Love to see any and all of your contributions to BooMan’s Frog Pond!
USA WELCOME: Make Yourself Known @BooTrib aka lost treasure of dKos
Hi there,
Thank you for bringing your experience and your voice here. I, for one, will be grateful for it – the military is a very foreign world for me, and I’m frequently baffled by the simplest things… until someone with a military background explains the logic to me.
Welcome.
Welcome to the frog pond where the water is fine and the comraderie is better!
Keep up the good work of being a pain to neo-cons….we’ve got your back on that!
lisadawn, Welcome to the Pond. Great to have you stop in and share your talents and experiences with us. I think we are all a little foggy (or would that be froggy) headed today after a week long party that has been so much fun and so interesting.
Hope you will feel right at home and jump right in with comments and diaries when it feels right. I know we all are enjoying hearing from our newest members.
Welcome!
it would be pushy or rude to put up a list of some of the newest members with an invite to introduce themselves?
.
Not wise – many oldies should introduce themselves first!
I would love to see an eTrib version started soon! What do you think!
USA WELCOME: Make Yourself Known @BooTrib aka lost treasure of dKos
gotcha – no list
An eTrib welcome diary? It makes sense… there’s a lot to be said for them. Simple factor – it’s harder to be mean to someone you’ve laughed with. You should do it!
Hey Zander, Do you ever sleep? Great to see you on the job already this morning, but I think you were still going strong at it when I pulled the plug on myself last night!
What a week we’ve had, eh? (I like foreign languages and I am so proud that I can speak a little Canadian, eh?)
You know that Diane is pretty smart. . .being on the welcome wagon crew gives you first shot at meeting such interesting and talented people. Awesome!
Keep up the good work, and feel free to get some rest whenever you need it.
.
WOW still moving – incredible.
That bull-frog UID #1500 cost me some sleep! Geez. LOL
◊ I knew there was something fishy in that pond!
USA WELCOME: Make Yourself Known @BooTrib aka lost treasure of dKos
Oui, Another fabulous job of keeping the welcome doors open all through the night in the US. You just keep doing such great meet and greet, and the photos add so much to things. Thanks guy, you are just the best!
Any time you need to close those eyes and get some sleep, just go right ahead.
Hugs,
Shirl
Where I live – I am in Philly for the summer, and lived here (or hereabouts) from 1995 – 2004.
But overall I live in the Bay Area – I just finished my first year of sociology grad school, so I’ve got at least 5 more years there. Which makes me happy.
Family – I’m engaged to my wonderful partner. We just finished a year living a part (see above) and now we are together and that makes me very happy.
Politics – I’m a progressive. I’m a Democrat, but skeptically – it’s the only politically effective way to be not a Republican on the national level, and I’m hopeful about the chances for a truly progressive Democratic party. But the Dems certainly haven’t always been a progressive force… And I’m a big ol’ queer, and I’ve done a lot more queer politics/organizing in my life than I’ve done progressive/electoral politics, but that’s changing now.
that’s enough for now.
Oh, my name on dKos is Bec_H, and I’m transitioning names in real life and online, so I’m Daniel here.
Hey Daniel, great to have you come and join us at the Frog Pond. Hope you will feel right at home here and jump right in with comments and diaries of your own whenever the mood strikes.
There are quite a few of us gltb here and you will probably discover MAJeff’s great diaries right away.
Enjoy yourself and WELCOME!

Who you meet, chat with and what you learn in a small pond. Safe choice of Martin: a frog in a pond, with ease he could have chosen a French field of flowers and some bees. Much more freedom and …
Spring Flowers from Daresbury to Murdishaw, Runcorn – slow to load many pics!
Have you seen the ◊ Kingfish today – he who thinks lately he is Prince Charming turned Frog, or is it the other way around. His bull-frog #id 1500!
BTW How did you like my pet fish – hidden under fishy?

I’m back, had to go and visit my daughter this morning, she forced me and the whole time I was thinking of here and Euro Trib which was so distracting. My daughter just loved hearing all the latest from the site, well actually she didn’t, but she put up with it.
What’s going on, how’s everyone doing…….
Glad you made it back to the pond. I was worried we had worn you out so totally that you needed the day off.
Plenty of great stuff on today. I am sure you will take some time to browse and discover it all for yourself.
Things do seem to have slowed a bit so we can get back to a pace that is not quite so wildly exciting every moment. But It has certainly been a week to remember.
Prefer the sauna in Suomi – Finland to the North Pole destination? Sure, let me find a photo to attach to Sven’s invitation. OK I got it – see comment below.
So BooTribbers, Why Wait Any Longer? Swim across the BIG pond to ◊ Euro Tribune and generate some love today!
USA WELCOME: Make Yourself Known @BooMan Tribune and add some cheers!
.
They can even swim … I guess not Finland, sorry Sven.
USA WELCOME: Make Yourself Known @BooMan Tribune and add some cheers!
I think we lost a couple of newbies in here. I’m tempted to blame the bear.
Or if you just want to do it again, that will be fine too.
In case glitch happens again folks, remember Booman does not just ban folks here, I sure if that were to come up, he would do a diary and discuss it with us like he has in the past.
Oui, could you make the title a little smaller, it’s quite long.
This diary really looks sad and depressed today, so come on over and post you bio and be sure to stop by Froggy’s cafe over yonder…
