I have five dozen cookies @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@ and beer on tap! c(\_) Designated drivers, please help yourself to a Pepsi One [~]. ---

Congrats on 4k, **Rilchiam**! No beer for me 'cause I’m at work right now (shhh), but I will take a cookie, thank you. Four grand, wow, I haven’t got back to 500 yet (lost about 300 posts in the crash). I bow before your superior posting skills and wish you a happy 4000 more. 🙂 ---

I thought you either ran a 4K race or just got a $4,000 raise. But I’ll have a cookie and congratulate you. ---

Thank you all! **Lorna** , you can get the recipe off the Ghirardelli chocolate chips bag. Be sure to fashion them into spheres before you bake, so they’ll come out thick and wide. **Derleth** , I’m a she. I never kept track of how many I lost in the crash… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rilchiam \* > **Derleth, I’m a she.** And I’m a he. Plenty of newbies think I’m a she, from the name, I guess, and I commonly have to correct them. I wonder if other Dopers have people confusing which gender they are. ---

Congrats on 4k, **Rilchiam**! I think I’ll take a few cookies and some Pepsi One (yay, free Pepsi One). **Derleth** : many people have had others [confuse their gender](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=110247).
