This is my 11,000th post. Does it count? Is it a Milestone?

[Rhiannon12866]

Coming up on 10,000, I thought each 1000 was a Milestone, though I missed a couple. But I did take the time to post a special thread, expressing my thoughts, and thanking you all on DU, when I noticed, which was more times than not. But now, does it matter? Do I have to wait until 20,000, which may not happen in my lifetime, to post such a thread again? And now, with the further destruction and unraveling of our country, does it even matter? I'm not particularly worried about it, since there are more pressing matters making the headlines, but I just thought I'd ask. I guess I need my dear friend, newyawker99, the arbitrator in such matters. Thanks...

9. You're welcome

The dancing bunnies are quite amusing, aren't they?

[Rhiannon12866]

10. They certainly are, LOL! And I LOVE the bunnies, so thanks!!!

It's been a stressful few days, so I welcome the silliness, which is the main reason I flipped out and made this post... Thanks!:D

3. Of Course It Is, Mem'Sahib!

Glad to have staggered into the Lounge and stumbled across it.

Congratulations!

[Rhiannon12866]

7. Thank you so much, my friend!

And I am so fortunate that you happened to stumble, just this once!:D

And I owe you kudos, since I, entirely and inexcusably, missed your 20,000th, a real Milestone! Thank you for posting on my thread in what must be a very stressful time for all the mods.:crazy:

11. Thank You, Mem'Sahib!

That is an excellent quote: Mr. Hoffer is a gem, and an inspiration....

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Thank you, my friend, and congratulations.

I can never best you at quotes, though I try to meet your standards. I considered this one, but rejected it out of hand, but, on second thought, you might get a kick out of such a quote from such a man...

17. 8230!! w00t!!

Post one whenever you like. These numbers are arbitrary anyways, and only mean something because of the way we count.

[Rhiannon12866]

27. 8230?!!! Yikes!!! I'd better get moving!!! You're breathing down my neck!!

I know exactly what you men about arbitrary numbers. And we only count the way we choose. I'm overlooking the mileage count on my car, for instance, not to mention my age and that of my little dogs. But it does catch up with us. Thanks for your post and your insight...

[Rhiannon12866]

29. Thank you. And nearly 4000 is huge. I never thought I'd break 100! :D

For both your kind words and your friendship. DU has become more than politics for me, though that's still my main reason for coming here. But it always amazes me that I've found friends. And I know that I can always count on you. So thank you, and back at ya...:hi:
