This is my 1000th post. Thought I’d never get here. Don’t want a post party or anything (although I _was_ promised some nekkid dances about 400 posts ago), but I didn’t want to waste this moment by posting some snide-assed comment about fast food or pinheaded real estate agents. Instead, I’d like to thank the members and mods of these boards for entertaining, enlightening and educating me. I have been touched by the compassion and generosity of so many posters here. I have also been enraged, provoked and infuriated here, but that’s the point of being alive. I have laughed out loud, cursed openly, prayed with all my soul and shed some tears with all of you. It’s been a pleasure. There’s a whole passel of people I could/should mention here who have touched and inspired me deeply, but a list of this nature would surely shut these boards down for a week. But I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a few of the wonderful people who have impacted my life: **Falcon** - I hope that wherever you are, you are doing well. You are missed deeply. **Ayesha** - Prayers with you always for your health and happiness…I am soooo glad that the road ahead appears to be lit with hope. Proud to be your plaything! **AudreyK** akes - the adorable one. Thank you for your endless kindness and cheer. **Serendipity** - Jessica, best wishes to you and your family…and isn’t being in love great? **Byz. FairyChatMom. Zenster. Shayna. Diane. Silver Fire. Una** and **Fierra. Pricciar.** I am going to be _so_ depressed when I realize the people I’ve omitted… Last, but never least, to the heart of these boards, the incomparable **Scotticher** - What can I say that hasn’t been said here before, except that I would multiply those comments a hundredfold. You are, simply, the best. I’m eternally honored. Thank you all for indulging me…now, back you your regularly scheduled boards, which are already in progress… ---

WooHoo ! ::drags in the oil, nakked twister game, barrel of booze, flavored body paint…:: Oh you said no party. ::pout:: \*\* poohpah chalupa \*\* You are such a sweet man, not only here but IRL too. (I know because Scotti and I discussed your sweetness at HouDope recently). I have met some wonderful people here on the SDMB, you are at the top of that list. Thank you for the prayers, I believe those have really made a difference. Smooches ! PS, You’re also a fantastic plaything 😉 ---

Thank you so much, Scott darling. It is I who am eternally grateful to YOU…for your unfailing support and friendship, for your kind and loving heart, and most of all…for NOT saying I told you so when my M’s failed to win the World Series. Or even to GET there. ::sigh:: Congratulations on 1000, honey…may we live to see 100,000! Much Love, Cheri ---

Congratulations! I must tell you that, along with many other cool names here, yours has slipped into my everyday speech. Last night, while driving: Me: “I missed the turn into the bank! Well, poohpah chalupa!!” 🙂 It made the error that much easier to bear. Happy 1,000th! ---
