So I’m at a grand. Wow. I know a few people think that having 1000 posts is no longer a big deal because posters are reaching the mark so fast. To those people I say…well, nothing, I guess. Anyway, thanks for the laughs, the knowledge, the lessons, the tears, the sharing, the kindness, the support, the friendships. You all are part of a really great bunch. Here’s to a thousand more! ---

Congrats, Silver! I suspect I should reach the 1000 mark sometime in the next year. What? a post party without refreshments? Is this BYOB? ---

Hey don’t run down the sanctity of hitting four figures Silver Fi… OMIGOD!!! You’re naked! Mmmmm nice too. We definitely have to show you the secret handshake (apparently the ‘elite clique’ have even more complicated initiations). Congrats. Here’s to many more. Where’re those drinks?
