Cristi, sweetie, you _do_ have a life! We’re it! Oh, shit in a tortellini, she fainted. Quick; 151, pork rinds, nachos, more 151…! In all seriousness, we’re all fortunate that you give your time and _yourself_ around here. You’re excellent company and here’s looking forward to another 3000. Veb ---

So maybe THIS is what I gotta do to get noticed . . . nobody noticed when I hit 500, 1000 OR 1500! Hmm . . . nah, I won’t do it. I won’t pad my post count by starting a post count party thread. ---

Cristi, 3000 posts! WOW! Please let me share with you something I have learned since I became addicted to this message board. It used to be that when people said to me “Scotti, you need to get a life!” All I could do is smile weakly, scuff my toe in the grass and mutter that I HAVE a life, really I do… Nowadays, I stand up straight, look them in the eye and say- “I don’t **NEED** to get a life, I have a computer!” (Of course, they used to just feel exasperated by me, now they are planning to have me committed.) 😃 Congratulations on an awesome achievement! Scotti ---

WTG, Persephone! I’m in a particularly cantankerous mood this evening so I don’t guess I’ll stay for any festivities and I apologize for not getting more excited! BTW, I brought a permanent marker so someone can write on Milo’s forehead… ---

This crowd strikes me as the type that would write ‘born to eat boogers’ on my forehead with a permanent marker after I passed out. Milo, you can crash on my couch at any time! And as for the 'born to eat boogers," well…I promised not to tell, but we had that tattooed on the back of your neck the last time you were here. So that’s why your co-workers have been laughing at you for the last two weeks. 😃 ---
