Golly gosh - creeping up on 4000 posts

[tjwmason]

How the hell did that happen?

How much work-time have I lost to D.U.?

Why don't I go and get a life?



*Treat any or all of these as rhetorical questions if you'd prefer.

1. Well, it's either this, or get blazing drunk.

Sometimes, you can hardly tell the difference! :P

[tjwmason]

3. There's a big difference

Getting me blazing drunk makes a very large dent in my bank account - one of the down sides of having trained myself to handle drink well. :P

[CubsFan1982]

33. Couldn't you just fake it?

That's what I do. :D

[progmom]

2. you are probably asleep by now

but congrats on the posting milestone! :loveya:

[tjwmason]

4. Coming from one of my very favouritest DUers too

:blush: :loveya:

Still awake, don't ask me why, but sleep's just not really happening at the moment.

[Hugin]

5. I'm close to that one too progmom!

I'm scared! Hold me!

[Hugin]

7. Rats!

I missed it... Probably it was something stupid like
I was asking somebody what time it was.

*sigh*

[progmom]

21. anytime!

:hug:

[Clintmax]

6. That's GREAT, TJ! 4000!

Congrats! It'll take me FOREVER to do that (well...maybe not), but if you're gonna be here, it will make things easier!

[tjwmason]

10. Thanks Clint

I'd have all of you over for a big party to celebrate - but I think it's a tad far to drag folk right across the Atlantic.

I found that the first thousand took the longest - then you start getting settled in and knowing folk and the posts just fly past really.

Having such gorgeous and wonderful people as yourself around frequently brings inspiration too. :pals:

[Clintmax]

13. Across the Atlantic???

Where the hells are you anyways?

[tjwmason]

17. I'm in merry England

It used to be in my profile - can't remember why I took that out. :crazy:

That's why I'm mostly around so damn early.

It's also why I have the England cricket team emblem as my avatar - though I'll admit that that's a less well known.

[Clintmax]

18. England!

WooHoo! :woohoo:

[tjwmason]

22. Partially

I could never live in another country - but it does mean I'm far far away from the vast bulk of DUers.

If you've got a trip to the U.K. planned then it's double :woohoo:

[Clintmax]

24. Not really...

but I was in Rome, Italy in March...that's as close as I've been to ya, Buddy. You never know though!
:pals:

[tjwmason]

25. I may even drag my lazy arse over to the U.S. one day

Though I'm thinking that after inauguration day 2009 would be a better time. :pals:

[Clintmax]

27. Well if you do...

come to Florida!

[tjwmason]

29. I'll take that as a strict order

But mostly as a sweet invitation.

[Hugin]

8. Yeah! You made it!

Congratulations tjwmason.

Here's to 4000 more!

:toast:

[tjwmason]

11. You did too

Congratulations!

:toast:

I would say race you to 5000 - but bringing out my competitive streak is always a bad thing.

[Hugin]

15. Well my spell checks hold me back.

LOL!

[tjwmason]

20. Then stick two fingers up at the spelling fascists

Or change your location to the U.K. or Canada, and if they bug you pretend it's a Commonwealth spelling. :D

[Hugin]

26. Good advice!

I'll try it!

Thanks tjwmason... and once again.

Congratulations!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Wow, to one of my favorite DU'ers!

Congratulations on achieving 4000 posts!

You do have a life, my dear....I strongly feel that the so-called 'virtual' life has as much reality as the so-called RL!

This is a REAL community...I have felt the strength of it...

I'm sure you have as well...

A very special guy...here's to many, many more posts!



:toast: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :toast:

[tjwmason]

12. There's some real special folk around here

That's what makes it such a good community - you're right up there with the best of them too. :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Thank you........

:blush:

[tjwmason]

23. Any time my dear, any time

:hug: :pals:

[Tom Kitten]

16. congratulations!

I just passed 3400 today myself and didn't even know it!

This is such a great place! I like it so much I was thinking of renting an apartment here...

[tjwmason]

19. Well I've got some real estate here I could let you have at a very

reasonable price. Plus - as long as you don't tell anybody else - I've been asked to negotiate the sale of London Bridge; we might be able to fix a deal there. :P

Seriously - congratulations on 3400 - they really do fly past once you get going. :hi:

[Tom Kitten]

31. well I'm looking to rent, not to buy...

But since I just found out you are in England I will seriously consider any type of offer!

My Mom and Sis just got back from a summer in Europe...they went to England, Latvia, and Lithuania.
I am so envious! I wish I could do that!

[Jamastiene]

28. I'm creeping up on 3000. Maybe we should get together and

ambush them as a team. :D

[tjwmason]

30. That would show 'em

They'd run out of happy smilies sooooo quick. :D

[Arugula Latte]

32. I'm almost at 3800, but I've been here since Fall of 2001.

You, on the other hand, whooooosh -- post-a-rama!
