When I saw there was a chance to meet Cecil for the 10,000th user, I just had to wait and watch and wait and…I did it.

(Does anyone have his number? Or does he have an Open Door Policy?)

Y’know. I went through all the trouble of making a thread just for you, and you don’t even post in it. 🙂

Anywho, welcome, and enjoy your stay.

p.s. This gets really addicting.

I just found it. Thanks! :):)🙂

It does seem addicting. I’ve been posting a lot all at once. Guess I should pace myself.

Welcom, join us, soon you won’t be able to leave. You won’t really want to though, it’s a great place with wonderful people. Go become a patron saint if you can find the thread… or just wander… it’s fun.

Well, I’m Cecil’s evil twin (who knows nothing), and not even I know his number (he changed if after I tried to drop three tons of lasagna on him… something about an “Attempted Murder” charge). But if you want to tell him something, I’ll have Mum deliver the message. 😃

dropzone thanks:)

Fairy Princess Kitty (What a sweet name! Is that what your daddy called you? Mine called me Wiggle Rabbit, so I may be projecting)  
Thanks 🙂

What’s the patron saint reference? 😕

SPOOFE Bo Diddly - thanks for the offer, but if Cecil is that shy, we’d better not bother him. 🙂

Been there, did that.  
I’m now the self-anointed **Patron Saint of Round Numbers**  
Got a number that’s too jagged? Just toss it to me! 🙂

And somehow answered 50 threads, so the “it’s fun” part turns out to be true!
