General Chat

Okay, I threatened to do it, and I've finally got one. I've kept an eye out, but not managed to catch any big "0" posts, so it's just coincidence that my fellow countrywoman gets the first notice.

Well, except for my noticing of my own right 20,000th after post counts got introduced ... sigh, had to buy my own cake and ice cream ...


what was that sentence supposed to say?

Well, except for my noticing of my own 20,000th right after post counts got introduced ...





Earlier today, SylviaInCanada posted her 20,000th post!

Well, not counting any that have been deleted. ;-)

So a round of something -- applause, beer -- for Sylvia.

And anybody else who notices a big five-oh-oh or such like milestone being passed, feel free to add!

cor Janey

I felt sure it would have been yourself that would win the honour ;-)


way to go Sylvia :-D


Edit....slaps own wrist for not reading post properly......see....I knew you would win :-D :-D

Ah, but there are a few with more than me -- it's just the passing of the post ... uh, as it were ... that I mark here. ;-)

You're just padding yours up so you get noticed at 2,500, I think. :-P :-D

Chocolate cake with chocolate icing do you?

to be honest I was wondering if it could possibly be right....mine that is......can't remember making so many posts........besides....I have been here since the year dot....sort of......but with different numbers..... :-P

And that's what you get for changing numbers.


We need a set ranking of what's on offer for what.

100 posts -- you get a handshake

500 posts -- one of those double air kisses and a handshake

1000 posts -- tea and a cookie, which you may call a biscuit if you like.

2000 posts -- a beverage of yr choice

2500 posts -- choccie cake

(I'd already said that, so I'm stuck with it)

5000 posts -- another beverage, some more cake, and you may sign your posts with one of "revered", "learnèd", "special".

After that, for 10K, 15K, 20K, etc., pick yr own prize.

Within reason!

Well done Sylvia :-)

I'm working on mine

Yeah, yeah, another padder. ;-)

I'll expect to see posts called "." showing up anytime now ...

LOL!

...when I get to 19,000 (posts not years) , I want a chocolate eclair and small plaque saying " rambles a lot, but has amazing staying power considering...."

Ahem. 15K and 20K, no 19K.

No retroactive claiming of prizes either.

But there you go, you may have your éclair and your plaque for your 20K. That's within reason, I'd say.

Especially since I'd say the value of an éclair is about -6.99 currency units, myself. Bleach.


Uh, that was supposed to be a ble-ach-ing noise, not a household cleaning product ...

I do hate people who make up their own rules :-P....

you do realise this means I shall have to renew in August and continue to annoy those I have been annoying for years :-D

Well done Sylvia.
I noticed when my tally was creeping towards a 250 as the end numbers, but now have ages before the next milestone.

Gwyn

Sputter, sputter -- make up my own rules -- now what would you have if I didn't?! 20,000 posts and nothing to show for it at all. Go calmly among the noise and whatever, and await your éclair with patience, sez I.

Mmmmm..........2500 posts = choccie cake :-D

I'm off to add *nudge* to every thread I can find now to get my count up from a paltry 2241 - well 2242 including this one! LOL

Mary

Rose there's plenty of time between now and August for you to reach 20,000 posts ;-) :-P

Of course if deleted posts were counted I'm sure you'd have double the current number by now ;-) :-D

Well Gwyn feel free to pat your own self on the back when it approaches!

Save it up and put it here, to claim your ... hmm, will you be wanting an éclair too?

They're such awful things, all cardboard and mush and unsweet.

I could offer you a Montreal bagel, the wonderful woodstove-baked ones, all-dressed (garlic, salt ...) if you're brave, with some fab cream cheese, mmmm .....

I think I'm hungry.

I should have known somebody would come up with the "nudge" ploy ...

Just don't pick threads I've posted in!!!!

Or your sweet treats are forfeit. To moi, of course.


Yes, Cat, I think RR's post count is overly, er, modest.

:-D Cat, you may be right about that ! But I shall be good and play by the rules ;-) * goes off into a huddle and makes long list of subjects for discussion/debate* >>>>>>

thought....if i put up a debate or two on which myself and JC are opposed I could probably get to 20,000 by next week :-D

Next week??? Don't you mean tomorrow ;-) :-P

Having said that if I hadn't deleted my original account I suspect my own word count would be considerably higher :-D

I'm sure Rose will give up her éclair. After all, she'll have the plaque she got for herself. Just call dibs!

Janey
Thank you for the offer of a Montreal bagel..... Not sure that I've heard of one of those, but then I've never yet travelled to your shores.
It might be quite tasty, although I'm not keen on the packaged New York ones sometimes bought by other family members.

No.... I think I'll wait for cake please.
