Do to some sort of glitch when the board was updated, I found myself with only 992 posts when I signed on today. So, I posted merrily in ATMB and GQ and here it is: My (sorta) 1000th post. Perhaps compensation from the gods for allowing me to miss the original turnover at 1000? Who cares, let’s have a 1000th post pary. 🆒 * * * Your Official Cat Goddess since 10/20/99. “We are here!

I noticed something was wrong when my profile had an old sig line. Since I’ve changed it several times lately I could estimate how far back it went (about a week). When others complained about losing their posts I checked and my count was at 925. I had no idea I was over 900. I wonder what it was before I lost some. ## When I reach my milestone I’ll have a party. **Kat** , you’re invited. Maybe we’ll have a get together for all us deities, the good ones and the dark side, too. “To do her justice, I can’t see that she could have found anything nastier to say if she’d thought it out with both hands for a fortnight.” Dorothy L.

Yup, my post count rewound as well…guess that just means I’ll get to throw another 1001st post party for myself. 🙂 * * * “…being normal is not necessarily a virtue. It rather denotes a lack of courage.”
