One has to admit that DD was on life support for a few years there. It nearly died and it got some first class treatment. As its heart fluttered someone was there with the paddles and got a regular heart beat going again.
People come and people go. The earmarked page for DD on my phone is the credits page for the 2018 DD awards. So I am reminded of this every time I click on the link to see how many people have moved on. It's scary, even heart rending.

If no one has told you that you are unbe-fuckingly awesome today let me be the first of many.
It's really astounding when I stop and think about it. Thank you.
And I mean awesome literally as in inspiring awe. Like wow. What this guy accomplished. Mouth agape. You know I'm not an idle flatterer, I work very hard at it but some people deserve tons of praise and you're one of them.

It's only been two weeks and people seem to REALLY want to start a world War 3 with Russia.
You see the commentary and news constantly downplaying Russia's military effectiveness and encouraging active participation of NATO.
It's so easy to forget that most people knew very little of the world outside their own immediate interests and don't think further than next week.
NO, war with Russia is N O T a good idea. No, Russia is not a little paper tiger. No, Russia will not be easily beaten back in a limited conflict.
War between Russia and the UN would unleash hell. They're ignorant for wishing and imagining otherwise. China and North Korea are just waiting for their chances to start their own adventures… Less so NK, but when China goes after Taiwan they'll be oh so much closer to shelling South Korea. :(

I was one of those who jumped ship when the last lot bought the site. I really thought that was the end of days, but what you've been able to achieve in keeping the boat afloat and bringing it back from the brink is nothing short of heroic.
If it wasn't for you Oz, the wreck of this site would have been found parked next to Shakleton's recently rediscovered tub.

Same here. Only when it comes to Russia, but only that makes my life more interesting. Especially now, when Russia proved that they have no problem with hitting target close to border of my country. So maybe those people who live on social media would be so kind and shut up with their support of the current thing.
PS
Kitty reminds everyone that kitty is not a NATO facility. Kitty just wants to draw naked vixens. Please, do not bomb the kitty.

And Bravo1102 is a member of NATO so I have no worries even if ethnographers and linguists have suddenly changed my ethnic background of Rusyn from Slavonic Russian to Carpathian Ukrainian.
Hello all. I'm trying to make a comeback after over a year of hiatus. At the end of 2020 my youngest was diagnosed with several food allergies.
Then both my kids spent the first half of last year alternating being sick. We ended up overnighting in the hospital twice with the youngest. After a near miss of going to the hospital last month, he we finally diagnosed with asthma and given an inhaler. He is doing better now, and I think I'm starting come out of my funk.
Now I'm going to try to catch up on a years worth of comics and possibly look into doing the Drunk Duck Awards this year.
Welp, that was cool. I just saw the spacex launch here a few minutes ago. 12:42am FL. Even though I got to get up in the morning for work, I still get a kick watching launches from Cape Canaveral. Some what cloudy but still cool to watch. This pay load is holding 53 Starlink satellites which will go over Ukraine and other countries in a few hours. (Don’t know why the time next to my name is so off). Oh well, good night folks or rather good morning.
Welcome back Niccea!

It is raining, so here is a story for a rainy day…
I was riding around town on public transportation with my friend, and it was not until we were off the bus that my friend realized their cell phone was missing, most likely still on the bus. The following hour was spent dialing a missing phone's number that would ring three times before going to voicemail. Eventually after an hour, and almost giving up, I made one last phone call and I was connected to a man's voice who had picked up the phone from the bus I was riding.
The stranger and I made plans to meet up a at a gas station at a busy intersection to make the phone exchange. He said he could be there in ten minutes, I asked if we could meet there in two hours, and he agreed.
(At this point the worst case scenarios of such an anonymous meeting had already run through my head, and I went through with it anyway.)
As planned, I made it to the intersection and dialed the number once again (no answer); a second time (no answer); and a final third time (he answered). I told him I was standing next to the propane containers at the gas station closest to the bus stop, he said he was on the bus and would be there shortly.
About three minutes later, a man wearing a straw hat, a broken plaid mask hanging by a single cord, and a weathered jacket started walking towards me. It looked like he had experienced a decade of hard years of living in inconsistent housing. I greeted him by his name, he greeted me by mine. He handed me the phone that had dropped on a bus three hours earlier and then he asked for a favor. He wanted me to get in contact with his sister, so she could load up his bus pass. I sent his sister a text followed by a photograph of his hand holding the bus pass.
I thanked him for his honesty and integrity and how difficult and rare it is to find these days. I am thankful for having had this experience it taught me a powerful life lesson: Treat everyone with dignity and respect.

Beautifully told too. It can't be left to languish at the foot of the previous page!

I believe there was once an author, I don't remember which one, that once wrote that every human being is ruled by one of two base emotions: fear or love. You, kawaii, are a servant of love and I hope you take pride in that:)

Congratz! Congratz! Gotta get myself back to reading Lite Bites again soon. I've been falling behind in so much reading:P
Nice work Genejoke!

I think that was Dolly Parton.
We're approaching the season when there will be tiny ducks swimming on the moat. Do I go every day because I love to see the little duckies, or because I'm afraid the ducklings will be eaten by a fox again? At this point I don't know if my actions are driven by love or fear.

Genejoke, I checked Lite Bites and I am certain the current bump is related to the hilarious "May the Fours Be with You" collaborative joke between you and Banes. That man never saw it coming, FOUR sure!
