One more post, and I reach 2500!

[Heidi]

Gosh, I feel all _tingly_ . :blush:

[Wetzelbill]

1. I must be getting close too

[LastKnight]

3. you passed it.

youre at 2586 or so.

[Wetzelbill]

4. woa, I blew past it, I never realized

[Heidi]

11. And here we are, Wetzelbill . . .

Standing at the summit, looking back over those posts, grains of sand through the hour-glass of existence. :rofl:

[LastKnight]

2. so whats the hold up?

[Heidi]

7. I'm looking back nostalgically . . .

over my past 2,499 posts . . . the triumphs, the challenges, the goofy late-night/early morning DU bar run, savoring the small but precious moments. Such introspection takes a few minutes, don'tcha know. :rofl:

[LastKnight]

8. ah yes...

i remember the milestone posts... the glory and thunder, the nonsense of lounge posts and some scars from my GD days... way back when.

mostly nonsense, though.

[Robeson]

10. LOL....

...breath deep, and savor the moment. Its all about you, kid.

[Heidi]

12. But, wait, Robeson.

It's difficult for me to breathe deeply and savor when I'm all a-tingle.

[Robeson]

17. Surely now, the tingle is over, and its time for introspection....

...on all you have achieved with your much admired posts??...

[Heidi]

19. No, it's time . . .

to clean up the coffee that I spurted onto my flatscreen display after reading the phrase "your much admired posts." :spray:

Here, listen to some alpenhorn music while I clean up:

[Robeson]

24. ROFLMAO....

...Incidentally, I'm totally jealous with the beautiful views you get to see of Switzerland. Lucky you...

[Heidi]

26. Oh, that's not my view.

This is my view:



And this is my other view:

[Robeson]

29. Even better....

...with a kitty to boot. Can't get much better than that..:thumbsup:

[Heidi]

34. I'd sell you that kitty . . .

for a low, low discount price, Robeson. He's not mine. He's my sister-in-law's very annoying cat, who appears like an apparition at my patio door every morning, begging for cat food.

But this cat I'd never part with:

[Robeson]

36. If we hadn't just brought in our 3rd stray into the house, I'd take you...

...up on that. I'm a sucker for kitties.

[WCGreen]

31. RICOLA, RICOLA......

My aren't we american's such smart asses

[Heidi]

32. Yes. Yes, in fact we are . . .

smartasses! :pals:

[WCGreen]

33. Like I Said, It's a job Ma'am, just a job.....

I need to hang out more in the Lounge....

This is fun

[Heidi]

35. Yes, we Lounge Lizards are too often unappreciated.

Please do join us more often, WCGreen. (Are you one of those meanies from GD, just cruising the Lounge for amusement? :rofl: )

[WCGreen]

37. Nah, I get serious about politics....

It has been my live for thirty years now...

I have run for office, held political positions, writen a column appeared on TV and was usually way to serious....

In between I was in a band and also delivered singing telegrams for a brief moment.....

So I guess I am both, serious when it is appropriate and loose and crazy the rest of the time....

[lapfog_1]

28. You need to study Tantric Posting

It will help you breath and maintain for long long periods of time
that "a-tingle" feeling you have.

[Heidi]

30. Thanks for the tip!

But I only hold my breath as a means of emotional manipulation. :rofl:

[WCGreen]

5. I'm getting all tingly for you as well.......

[WCGreen]

6. I'm getting all tingly for you as well.......

[Heidi]

9. I made it!

God, I feel so _alive_ , so accomplished, so . . . so . . . so grateful to all the "little people" who exercised the self-restraint necessary to insure that about 2,250 of my posts plummeted like stones to the bottom of the DU depths. :rofl:

[WCGreen]

13. It's a job ma'am, just a job,,,,,

But somebody has to do it......

[Heidi]

14. I had hoped to forestall . . .

the inevitability of someone eventually calling me "ma'am" until my 43rd birthday. Another plan, gone awry. :shrug:

[WCGreen]

15. Oh but it was all due to respect....

With all that, as you so kindly put it, silvery hair, I have beenn called sir since I was twenty two.....

BTW, you don't look anywhere near 43, 42 maybe, but certaily not 43

[Heidi]

16. I'm 42.

And you're right. Forty-two is _nowhere_ near 43. I shouldn't be so self-deprecating. :rofl:

[WCGreen]

21. I remember when I was 42...

Ah those were the halcyon days, the days of wine and roses, the days when I discovered that Rap was actually a musical genre performed by African American youths or white kids who tried very hard to adopt the culture of the streets....

By now, now that I am 47, old before my time, whithering on the vine of life, I discover that it is 5:00 in the morning and I am still sitting here in front of my computer talking to people from around the world....

Life can be so wonderful yet puzzling at times.....

[Heidi]

22. Old before your time????????

You've gotta be kidding! My ex-husband is 12 years older than you! 47? Pffffffffffft!

[WCGreen]

25. Yea, I still get weak in the knees around

beautiful women, race horses and fine food, especially if I make it. So I guess I am still young at heart.....

[jarab]

18. Congratulations on your milestone, Heidi !

...O...

[Heidi]

20. Thanks, jarab.

It's an awe-inspiring achievement, isn't it? :rofl:

[Heidi]

46. You're just flattering me . . .

in order to get closer to my sister-in-law's annoying cat, aren't you? :rofl: (Doesn't he express in this photo exactly how the freepers must feel about DU?)

[GOPisEvil]

Thanks for the laugh. :rofl:

That cat could be their mascot!

[BlondieK143]
