I Was Planning To Say Something Witty

Post by winston »

and perhaps even deep and thought provoking...but sanity prevailed and so...I am just posting this to get past my 2000th post.

Thank you all for being so friendly, reading my posts and putting up with my opinions, comments, etcetera since I joined the forum in July of 2005.

It has taken me a year to get to 700 and I am never off the forum. 2000 in a year, goodness me!

Hmmm... it had taken me more than a year to get to #100, Peter... and another year to get to #1400, so... Image

Congrats, Soul Brother.

I, too, try to be witty, but often get exactly half way there.

2K is a nice round number, dontcha think?

"...but sanity prevailed..."

Are you related to Sanity Clause? Image

Congrats on 2000!

Thanks everyone,

I am glad to be past that particular milestone.

With respect to the number of postings over a short period of time. Every time I think that I am running out of things to say one of you opens up another avenue for discussion.

Ha ha ha ha

Sheena,

That will more likely be the Curmudge since he has a lot of interesting stuff going on. Personally, I am running out of things to talk about.

Running out of things to talk about? How can that be? You're not going to silently disappear now that you've hit 2000, are you? There are always things to talk about! Image

....Of course, in my case I sometimes post even when I really don't have much to talk about, and end up saying some pretty silly things, LOL!
