Oh sure, insult me now.
We’ve never met, but I’ve enjoyed all of your stories.
Happy Birthday and 1000th
July?!?! I read the first dozen posts thinking your birthday was September sometime, so I went out and bought you this HUGE sapphire (Sept’s birthstone) and was thinking how cool it was that you were a Virgo like me.
Hell, I don’t even KNOW what July’s birthstone is. And what are you, on the cusp of Leo? What in the Sam Hill am I gonna do with this huge gemstone?
harumphs so grumbingly that she forgets to wish Una a Happy Birthday and a Happy 1K Post Milestone
OK, this will likely be my last post. But I have to keep thanking those who stop by, so as long as kind people do so…
InternetLegend - Yes, it worked, I had to post again. But it only works for new posters, so eventually this thread will die. (Una is also an "Internet Legend herself. Hmmm…Una is speaking about herself in the Third Person again. That’s not good…)
monster - Thank you monster, that’s very nice. Love your sig, BTW. Jail! (snort!)
VaHermit - Well, a VaHermit is just a friend I haven’t met! Hmm…that sounds lame - maybe I need more sleep. But seriously, I will be out in Richmond in a month or so again for Virginia Power…
CrankyAsAnOldMan - long time no hear from! Well, I would suggest you take the sapphire, and send it to pepperlandgirl, since it’s her birthstone. Or make it into an elaborate piece of body art, get an erotic piercing, and send me the pic. 
Well, we’ll see if anyone else new stops by. If not, this thread will faaaade away.
Anth…
I don’t usually post at these things, but for a fellow KC’er, I’ll make an exception. Congrats! I see you are almost to 1050 already! You’ve been busy!
Seriously, though, you’re good to have around and deserve all the hoopla. You’re the best kind of poster; thoughtful, considerate, blunt when you need to be and subtle when you don’t.
Here’s to a thousand more! :holds up a bottle of John Brown Ale, brewed right here in KC:
Now someone else posted, so out of politeness I must thank them. Today’s winner is…
sdimbert - Well thank you very much for posting! However, I really prefer the Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat - it’s probably my all-time favorite beer - and brewed right here in KC to boot!
Am I too late ? <notices people sweeping the floor and taking down decorations> - guess so.
Anyway, happy 1000th, coal goddess & ultimate impossible doper crush. Here, have a hug. Very cool posts, except for the hot ones (not that they’re not very cool, too, only at the same time they’re - OK, you got it). Keep them coming.
