Congrats Scotti! {{{{Scotti}}}} 
Congratulations on the 1000. I know I’ll get there sometime.
Super congrats, Scotticher, from someone who just got only half-way to 1000 today.
Well, that’ll teach me to skip a day on the board!
I am overwhelmed by all of this, and (of course) I am blushing!
MysterE, hon-You are too kind, I try, and I do. Thank you SO much for starting this thread for me-you are a sweetheart, and I appreciate your friendship very much.
Montfort and Zenster- Thank you for coming to my party! I can’t remember ever belonging to a club that was this much fun with none of the work.
Grace-Thank you so much-I have always felt that your name is an apt description of your personality and character. You are a gracious, warm and wonderful lady. Thanks for your kind words, and for showing up for this soiree!
tiggeril dear- I feel so blest to have acquired a wonderful daughter-and I didn’t even have to go through the terrible teens! I love you too! Hugs
Spidey- You are one of my favorite posters, also. Thank you for your sweet words, and for the special hat! Thanks for coming, and for the hugs and kisses! I have to say, a Spidey hug is eight times as comforting as a people hug!
Poirot 
Well, thanks for attending. If I knew how to get Duck Duck Goose back, I would. I miss her.
dpr- Thanks for the transmogrifier-you give good hugs, babe, and I can’t think of a better gift than unlimited hugs from you! Good to have you here-you honor my party just by being here-my life, too!
Brynda and Kat- Thank you-you have both always been so kind to me, and I appreciate it more than you know. I look forward to having the opportunity to get to know you better in my next 1000!
Audrey- You don’t owe me any thanks, sweetie, I have always enjoyed interacting with you. But it is nice to know I made you feel welcome. Because you always, always are. Thanks for the nice things you said, too!
dropzoneDarlin’, I’m glad you know I am always here for you. Luya’ too, now get your email fired up and let me know what is going on so I can fulfill that promise!
Sweet Sue- “Osuperscottichfragilisticexpialidocious” may be the nicest thing you could have said to me! Thanks!
purplebear- I’m proud to consider you one of my friends, too! Thank you for the kind words, and for making me smile both today and always. You are a doll, and such a good and positive person, and it humbles me to have you say such nice things about me.
DRY- What can I say that could begin to convey how dear you are to me? You have listened to me, and helped me, and been supportive of me when I needed it the most. I have learned from you, laughed with you, and felt free to cry on your shoulder.
You are the best, and I feel that your friendship is a gift.
You may love me the mostest, but the feeling is returned ten-fold, dear heart!
Danielinthewolvesden- You were the very first person to be kind to me on this board, and under circumstances things could have gone differently so fast! Only a totally clueless newbie would make her second post in a thread asking “Is homosexuality a sin?” So, in a sense you are responsible for me still being here for 1000 posts. Thank you for treating me with respect when a lot of people would have stomped on me and sent me packing. Plus, you give such good massages, how could I not adore you?
JayLa- Thanks for the hug, and the congrats! I really enjoyed meeting you and the other PNW Dopers, what a great bunch of intelligent, witty and wonderful people!
Demo- Thanks for your kind words, and how did you know that hot wings were just the thing I wanted as a party gift? Oh, yeah. Thanks to my favorite BBQ King!! I’m gonna make it to your next DopeBBQ, if it is the last thing I do! (And I see that you made them extra-hot, so I imagine that you and I will get to eat the WHOLE bunch! Can’t beat THAT for a 1000 post present!)
hypergirl- I enjoy you and your friend’s posts so much! You make me laugh out loud-and you always sound as though you are having so much fun! BTW, at the rate you are going, I don’t think it will be long before you get to 1000, too. And I am sure I will enjoy each and every post.
mrblue- Thanks for the cake, and I think the roman candles were a nice touch. Although you light up the room, just with your presence!
Phobos and Duke- Thanks for the congrats, and for coming! Always nice to meet new friends, non?
And Duke-Congrats to YOU on 500!
Well, sorry for the novel, here. I hope I didn’t tick off the mods. But I really, really appreciate all of you for being such giving people, and for saying such lovely, lovely things.
A special hug for MysterEcks for starting this thread
(((((((MysterE,honey))))))))
and one for the rest of you, too!
(((((((((Everyone)))))))))))
I don’t go on the boards for a day or so, and I miss being one of the first to reply to Scotti’s post party. Stupid other things taking up my time. Well, as long as I do post, right?
Happy 1000 ScottiMom! I’m following not too far behind!
Just don’t stick 'em up your nose, m’kay? Hehehe…
Happy grand, Scotti!! Here’s to a thousand more.
Congratulations, Scotticher!!!
Welcome, Silver Fire and ssskuggii!
Thanks for the good wishes, you’re a couple of sweeties! Why don’t you see if you can find purplebear, I think she was trying to rustle up some entertainment!
((((((Pretty Ladies)))))))
Monster honey, how nice of you to come! Don’t feel bad, I didn’t get here myself until tonight. Come on over and give ScottiMom a nice big hug, 'kay? tig, looks like you’ve acquired a brother! What a lucky ScottiMom I am!
(((((((Monster104)))))))
Heheheee! No need to look for me, I’m right here. Now, you handsome hunks, be dears and just carry in the goodies to that table in the corner, and set up, and get ready to serve…the munchies, of course!
Now, the rest of the entertainment is limbering up out in the hall, waiting for the music to start. After their dance numbers, they’ll be available for lap dances, or whatever you may desire, Scotti. 
Now, R.C. please forgive me for taking over the entertainment on this. It’s just that you seemed to be occupied elsewhere for a while. Perhaps in my welcome thread, where your name is being called? <oops, or will be as soon as I get over there and finish my post!:eek:>
And, thanks, Daniel, I’m glad you don’t mind me using your quote in my sig. It never fails to make me smile. <And blush, but that’s another story altogether!>
It was my great pleasure, Scotti. And I appreciate your friendship very much, too. {{{{{{Scotti}}}}}}
purplebear, thank you for organizing the entertainment. I was remiss in my duties, and I appreciate the help. {{{{{{purplebear}}}}}}
I NEVER do this, but it’s for Scotti after all!! AND MysterTerminatorEcks started it too. So resistance is futile.
Scotti, I’ve been hanging around here for more than a year now, and watched posters come and go. Cried for some, laughed with others, and prayed for many who were hurting. There are always some more special, whether it’s just their style, or humor, who can tell??
You are one of the classiest people I’ve met online. I admire your compassion, tenderness and your ability to reach out to everyone. I hope we have meant as much to you, as you have to us. You are definitely one of the golden people.
I’m NOT one, but I have a good eye! [AND since the hearing is going along with the memory, that good eye, means more than you’ll ever know!! ;)]
Sorry I’m late to the party Scotti.
Hope I can still tell you what a fantastic person you are and that your dear sweet tone on the boards is something I search for and hope to emulate.
Congradulations and I hope to see many more of your supportive, lovely posts. They make my day most anytime I’m upset, even directed to other people. You make this place grand by your words and presence. You are good people, Scotti.
Hugs and love.
:::hoists a glass to one of the nicest chicks on the SDMB:::
Here’s to you Scotti!
(and I mean “chick” in only the nicest possible way)
And I did not even know what a total babe you were, when I first posted to you.
Most welcome, R.C. Anytime at all. Glad to help.
{{{{{{{{MysterEcks}}}}}}}}
And, <'scuse me a moment, Scotti> <runs up to Daniel, grabs him for a deep kiss and a hug> WOO HOO!!! 
WE NOW RETURN YOU TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED ENTERTAINMENT
Dearest Anti Pro- Thank you so much for your wonderful verbal hugs! I know I am not all that special, but you always make me feel as though I am.
As far as I am concerned, I think YOU are 24 karat!
Medea’s Child- Thanks for coming, hon, and don’t ever worry about being late~you are welcome at my party, and in my life, anytime! I’m so glad if I have helped you to fell loved and cared for. Because you ARE!
Sue Duhnym- Thanks for taking time out from concentrating on healing in order to come to my party! You are one of the most beautiful people on the SDMB, both inside and out, and I appreciate your kind words!
**(((((((Anti Pro)))))))
((((((Medea’s Child)))))
((((((Sue Duhnym)))))))
*I want to say thank you again to all of the very special people who came to say congratulations. I have met so many wonderful friends during my stay on this message board, and most of you are here. I cherish each and every one of you~words fail me when I try to tell you how much. Thank you for being here, and thank you all for your unique and individual WONDERFULNESS! (Yes, dear, I know that is not really a word.)
Teary and Grateful Scotti*
<ahem> as one of the first two dopers to meet you in person… congrats on reaching 4 digits! Look forward to seeing you in november!

'Kay, now that I am done being all soppy and sappy,
Let’s PARTY!
Purp, get that music cranked up, and bring on the entertainment! I do like a little mystery, so could the men please keep SOME of their clothes on?
I’ll just zip over to the buffet and fill up a plate with munchies, and grab an iced tea. mmmmm, this tea is GOOD! It tastes like lemonaid, sort of. Did you say it originated on Long Island? My, they really know how to make a refreshing glass of tea back east! I had better get a refill now, before the show starts…
Myster Ecks, after all you planned this shindig, so you can come sit next to me. [sub]For now, anyway. I see Daniel has his massage oil, so don’t get TOO comfortable.[/sub]
Hey purp, do you think you could get DRY to rewrite Richard III so it comes out RIGHT? HE knows what I mean. And he IS my snookiookums, so I’m SURE he won’t mind. [sub]gotcha, Dan[/sub] There is enough talent in this room to stage a pretty good rendition of good old Bill’s play, don’t you think?
OKAY NOW, LET THE FESTIVITIES COMMENCE!
Niggle!
How nice of you to come! You were actually the first doper to meet me in person, you know, because you were at the top of the stairs when I opened the door!
Give me a hug, and then head on into the party! There’s munchies, and music and beautiful women-I am sure you are going to have a wonderful time!
[sub]And point that camera somewhere else, okay sweetie?:)[/sub]
(((((Nigel)))))
Oh my lord, and you beleive Richard III was framed, TOO!! My lord, I’ve died & gone to heaven.
PB- hope you don’t mind that kiss being chocolate flavored.
(would I be a total pig if I had fantasies of Scotti AND PB, AND me?, or just a normal red-blooded guy?)
Look, a 55 gallon drum of massage oil- hot damn!!
