I’ve had post parties for 100 and 300. Those were the real milestones. 500 is just like one more day. Now it’s so routine I’ll just repeat the invitation: > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tshirts \* > \*\*I’ve signed enough of these “birthday cards” that I feel like putting on a party hat and taking a turn on the dance floor. > > Any requests? I can do The Hustle, The Bump, The Twist, and even the Fox Trot, the Cha Cha, and the Samba. (I once took a lot of lessons. Long ago. From old teachers.) > > Nothing newer, though, as I gave up learning new steps after I got married to a non-dancer. Now that I’m divorced, I guess it’s time to hit the boards again. > > Any hotties want to give the old fool lessons? 😉 Fun for all to see, I’m sure. :rolleyes: \*\* Well don’t stand there! Tap that keg! ---

I always thought it should be 200 and 500. Oh, well. _furiously pumping the keg_ Congrats! ---

You picked the Pit for this 😕 Don’t matter to me. They’ll move it soon enough. Hope you keep on posting, and good luck with the smiley things. That’s a smiley you need… :cheers: with a beer mug. (or rootbeer if you’re under age 😃 ) ---

\*\*Five Hundred is a truly party-compatible quantity! \*\* I think dancing is fine, but I prefer some **high-stakes stud poker** Do you gamble? Nows the time, when it’s your turn and things are hot. I brought the sandwiches. You want green? It’s either very new cheese or very old meat, as Oscar Madison used to say. I hope you have a big table - I told the club you were loaded and not much of a gambler, and they all want some of the action 😃 ---

I’ll take a mug of that while you’re pouring. **dropzone tiggeril Scotticher** Thanks for coming. I’m not sure what the family references are. Are you really related? Or is this a virtual thing? **Show\_Biz** No it got into the pit by accident. One problem with the slow system lately is that I tend to keep several windows open at once and lose track of what’s which. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Show\_Biz \* > \*\*… and good luck with the smiley things. > > That’s a smiley you need… :cheers: with a beer mug.

Expect it in the next day or two. **😃** Hi HOney! glad you could make it! > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by magdalene \* > \*\*Weren’t you the one dissing post parties the other day? The M-Dog had your back, and now you are going back on yo’ sistah? If this wuz still in da Pit, I’d be showin’ you what’s what. \*\* Must have been somebody else. I’ve always signed on to every post party I’ve run across.

Congrats. 🙂 \*\* You caught me! I do care. Thanks for noticing and dropping by! Anyone named hypergirl must dance, but I’m too timid for the mosh pit, so let’s not go there. ---

All the hundreds blurring together are they? Do what I do for birthdays. I keep a row of +++++ +++++ +++++ … on the wall by the computer. You know, like counting days in jail. Then you won’t miss a milestone again 😃 I brought nachos, but we’ll have to reheat them- where’s the microwave? ---

Thanks **T Bill**. Thanks for the tip **Wanderlust** Think I’ll try that. You alread are an icon **Sweet Sue**. Just want to be less disjointed? I’ve done sillier ones, like an **¦:¬þ icon** for **Attrayant** so I might try for it. ---
