It’s my Dope-y anniversary! 
(Shortist thread opener ever, by me)
Happy Dopiversary, Beck! I somehow knew that you were in for the long haul.
wow, ill admit didn’t think you’d make it at first …
Awww, thanks. You’ve been a good friend. Appreciate all your kind words of advice over the months.
You’ve never steered me wrong.
High Five
You’ve already topped my post count, and I’ve been here 16 years longer.
She’s a really bad,bad,bad poster. 
You both top my count by an order of magnitude. I feel so miniscule.
Happy Anniversary!
The dope is improved by your presence Beck. Though you do talk a lot.
I spent the last decades yammering to children. But, like most kids about 3% stuck.
When the lil’wrekker left for college that big door came down hard. Oh, no. I found myself with words to say and no one to listen. The pet’s have helped. The cats do talk back. But, it usually curse words.
I went lurking around and was steered toward the Dope. Aren’t y’all lucky?
Thanks for allowing me share my anecdotes about my bad, bad, bad life. It’s been fun.
Love you guys!!
Who are you again? The name rings a bell.
You so funny;)
My Dopesister!
Happy Dopeversity!

Happy Dope-versity, Beck! I was one of the ones who chewed you out in the Pit in your first few days here, but you turned out great. It’s nice to have you here, and keep up the bad, bad, bad anecdotes!
I do remember you. Of, course you were right. I was clumsy and inept. You called me on it. I already had my hackles up. Took me a few weeks to listen to advice and not be a thin-skinned snowflake.
So many folks have helped me.
I thank you all.
Congrats to our favorite Bad, Bad Doper! I’m sure the cats gave you a twenty-one yawn salute. Cats never recognize human achievement.
Of course some of that was my “inner jerk” expressing itself!
Yeah. :rolleyes:
I’m glad you stuck it out! 
Thank you Sunny. You’re the best. (But, Bob Batty is mine, hands off;))
Glad you stuck around! You make this board better.
Plus, I enjoy reading what it’s like living really, really out in the sticks. That’s my dream.
