This is the party to celebrate Purplebear’s 1060th post. Yes, she forgot to celebrate hitting four figures and numbers are arbitary anyway…
So, everyone gather around for a Surprise Party!!!
Hide in corners, wardrobes, behind the sofas… whatever…
Munchies supplied. Drinks supplied. Dates optional.
Finding a new room she hasn’t been in yet, purplebear wanders in, and starts to wonder why it’s so dark in here. Where’s the light switch? Hello?? Is anyone in here?
Hmmmmmm… it’s awful quiet in here. I could swear I heard a noise coming from this room…OUCH!! What was that I just bumped into?
Say, I smell food…gotta find that light switch…
<Thanks heaps, dpr! Great idea!>
Go away - you’re not supposed to be here yet!!
Come back later when more guests arrive.
(and you’re welcome)
Damn was that her already? Didn’t even have time to hide in a good spot.
Anybody want to find a dark corner and hide with me? (Wink wink nudge nudge)
purple bear,
thanks for being so friendly to a newbie.
The O.P. scares me a little, but I could not miss a chance to say “hey” and that you are the best flirt I have never met.
Yours,
NM
PurpleBear: Look! Roses for you!! With ribbons & everything!! 
Purplebear,
I think I already congratulated you when you were about 4 away from the big 1K, but congratulations again! I believe you did win the kind-hearted person on the SDMB, didn’t you?
(If you didn’t, then I KNOW the winner would be too kind to point out my stupid mistake to everyone)
Hi Kricket… I’ve found a nice corner for 2…
I brought some dip and a blender to make virgin margaritas from myself. I will make the leaded kind for purplebear and only purplebear. 
All the rest of you non-pregnant posters can fend for yourself.
::Dives behind the couch to take a nice long nap before purplebear comes back::
Just wanted to say that I am a big Purplebear fan. Love the way your warmth and generous nature comes through in all your posts, Mrs Bear. I think you must be a very special person in the real world.
Your posts always remind me of the good side of human nature so please keep ‘em coming.
No Purplebear party would be complete without Mayo on everything so I’m bringing a barrel of the stuff. Mayo party begin………
I’ve always loved purplebear. She’s a total sweetie.
Anybody bring tequila?
Took the words right out of my mouth…which is a good thing now I have room for the tequila. I would love to stay for the party but if i was there when PB entered, the party would be over due to the massive heart attack she would have. Love you honey.
Mr. Bear
As usual, I’m late, and I think I’ve gate crashed this party. What’s more, I ain’t anything to drink and no pressy for the lady of the moment.
But I’ve noticed that she really likes hugs, particularly giving them, although she doesn’t get many back.
So, here’s your congratulatory embrace
{{{purplebear}}}
Make that a corner for 3, John? I’ll join you and Kricket in the dark.
What? That’s not what this thread is for? Aw heck! Ok then…
SURPRISE purplebear! Congratulations on your milestone. You know we love you to pieces!!
{{{{{purply}}}}}
Now get behind me in line if you want to do a body shot with Wally. And no pushing or shoving. I’m sure he’ll give us all a turn, won’t ya Wally? I just get to go first is all.
PSSSSSSSSSTTTT! Shayna! Over here! Not only is it dark, but it’s soft, and there’s room to stretch out!
Also, I’ve got the cinnamon oil, and the 151!
Oh, and London Calling, She is a very warm and special person IRL; this I’ve known for many years!
Mr. Bear is indeed lucky to have her!
Oh, and from a friend of Purples’ who isn’t a Doper:
“All those people on here are cool cats, and the tequila is on me, and maybe sometime we can all go jump over the moon together! purplebear is really like that in real life too, just so you know!”
Mary Louise
Blinking at the bright lights suddenly turned on, purplebear hears loud cries of ’SURPRISE’
WOW! For me? BLUSH Ummmmm…I don’t know what to say… gee, thanks…ummmm…
Where are the drinks? I think I need one! Did you say something about 151, VB? You do mean Bacardi, I trust! Where’s the munchies? C’mon, let’s party everyone!
Hi, honey! I love you! Glad you stopped by for a minute! VB, you are too kind, now, what do you want? <Besides the pleasure of seeing me blush so much!>
Thanks, tatertot, I appreciate the drink. Ummmm… Hey! How’d Mary Louise get in here? You rascal, you! Thanks for the hugs and warm wishes, everyone. Oh, my! I had no idea I had such an affect on so many wonderful people here. You are all too kind.
Heading in the direction of the food, she looks around for Wally, to give him a big hug for his kind words too. Can I have a pic with you too, Wally?
Hugs for everyone! {{{{{{{{GroupHug}}}}}}}}
Anyone want an individual hug, just come on over, I’ll be happy to oblige. After all, one can never have too many hugs! 
<While everyone is talking and getting drinks, purplebear looks around the room filled with such wonderful people, and if someone were to notice her, they might see that her eyes are suspiciously bright and maybe even brimming…>
Woo Hoo! Vestal, I’m on my way!
:: Dashes off across the room ::
:: Trips and falls flat on my face with a loud thud! ::
HEY! Whaddaya mean putting you foot out like that, Wally?
Welcome to the land of four digets, pb.
I actually believed we were all being extended invitations to visit the bear pad, since Mr. B’s gone.
Hey, we would have cleaned up after ourselves.
Sorry I’m late for the party, what did I miss?
You guys haven’t started the nude greased up Twister game without me, have you?
