I'm never gonna make 1000 posts.....

[a kennedy]

I want them, and I want them now. :blush: please.

[Momgonepostal]

1. Patience, my friend!

I just hit 1000 posts and I don't really post that much. If I can do it, you can too. :-)

[a kennedy]

Thanks......

:hug: It's just, it always takes me so long to write what I'm thinking, so I just read what someone else writes, and I agree. Don't get many posts that way. *sigh*

[Momgonepostal]

4. Before I accept that hug, you're not Justice Kennedy are you? lol

Or are you a random Kennedy? :-)

[Mokito]

28. Shameless tip: Give it a shameless kick

Does wonders for your post ratio :evilgrin:

[xmas74]

2. just keep posting.

It won't take that long.

[Jamastiene]

3. Start a post that makes people laugh. It's the only way I ever

made it over 1000. I was languishing before that. Or you could just reply to everyone who ever replies to you. That's the best way...

[Left_Winger]

5. I'm doing my best to make it out of the 700 club

so I'll post to just about anything right now.

[Mokito]

29. Damn!

That reminds me, my 700 club agony is coming up very soon. :scared:

[chknltl]

6. kennedy....I share your feelings, let's play a game....

....TAG, you're it! ;)

[Left_Winger]

7. Can I play too?

[chknltl]

8. sure but Kennedy is still "it"

likely doesn't know this yet, I have no idea about rules, gonna have to think some up, thinking is not one of my stronger talents so I am open to notions. My first notion: I am not in charge of the notion dept.

[Left_Winger]

10. Kennedy, where are you? You're "it".

:hide:

[chknltl]

12. 2nd notion:

The person who is it can tag other children, but only 1 tag per thread. Adults absolutely not allowed! Reach 1000 and ya get booted!
No "Grup"s allowed. Too many notions... my heads hurts, someone find kennedy, I wanna play!

[Left_Winger]

14. What's a "Grup"?

Maybe we outta send kennedy a PM to come out and play.

[chknltl]

17. ref: Star Trek,

The original one with Kirk and Spock and etc. There was an episode where a terran colony was plagued by a virus which killed off all the adults. The remaining children called adults "Grups" (Short for Grown-Up), or at least that is how my memory has it. The children did not like Grups and where known to perform a ritual called "BAM BAM on the head" to any Grups who mighta wondered into their game-play. (might be another useful notion....I kinda thinking that this game may have some legs to it, gettin even with some of the Grups around here for starts)

[Left_Winger]

18. I'm almost 50, so does that mean I can't play?

:shrug:

[chknltl]

22. I'd stay away from that colony,

I do not remember if Doc McCoy ever got around to curing that virus, you might get Bam Bam on the head. That is there, this is here...... DU-Tag needs a differing age marker: posts under 1000, un-affected by Terran Solar years. (btw: I remember back when I could say that I was almost 50....) You are making me think, thinking turned kids into Grups....no fair we must find kennedy!

[Left_Winger]

26. Kennedy, Kennedy where art thou?

We're trying to help your post count. Come out, come out wherever you are. Olly olly op-sen-free.

[Mokito]

30. Hmmm, lemme see...some ideas for rules for DU-tag

1. Anyone under a 1000 posts can join by simply putting (TAG) at the end of at least one post in the Lounge and ONLY the Lounge (how many (TAG)'s you decide to insert is up to yourself...are you a daredevil?)

2. He or she who is 'IT' must search for these posts that end with (TAG).

3. He or she who is 'IT' can tag you by simply replying to the post(s) described in 1. with a post which has the subject line '(TAG), you're IT!', after which the tagged of course takes on the roll of tagger.

4. Posts that have been tagged once can't be tagged again. IOW, If you see a reply '(TAG), you're IT!', that/those (TAG)'s become invalid and the tagger in question will have to search for another (available) (TAG).

5.If you reach a 1000 posts you're out of the game (win/lose, that's a matter of interpretation). Remove (TAG)'s if necessary by editing the post(s).

6. No way in hell that this little game is gonna keep being "organized", so expect a lot of taggers and hide your (TAG)'s well (or badly if a 1000 posts is your objective :evilgrin:)

Any comments?

Anyway...somebody's gotta start...so here it is........(TAG)

[ismnotwasm]

9. oh you will

Took me months, cause I'm busy. Last few days finally did it though.

[Rising Phoenix]

11. thats what I thought...

and I'm almost there...you can do it yeah!

[BamaGirl]

13. You can do it

just keep posting. Took me a year, and I just got there today lol!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. You have to stick with it, a Kennedy...

You must forget you have a life outside DU...

I've been here since Feb this year, and I just got over 7000 posts..

Where'd she go?

She must have a REAL life!

:yoiks:

[Left_Winger]

16. Hey Peggy!

How is everything out west?

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Hey there, Left_Winger!

Things are good here...our summer finally arrived...warm sunny days...and now the beach is getting less crowded, as folks go back to work and school....My little town is becoming more recognizable as MINE...

How are things in your neighborhood?

:hi: back atcha!

[Left_Winger]

21. It has finally cooled off

with temps in the 80s and I'm back at work. If I haven't mentioned it to you, I'm a high school teacher and for the most part things are going well. I'm planning a trip for some of my students to southern Germany and Austria next spring. Can you guess which subject I teach?

Are you a beach bum? I am. My family has a house at Litchfield Beach, SC and I spend most of my summer vacation there. It's quiet, natural and with a state park to block the expansion of Myrtle Beach.

I'm almost out of the 700 club. :bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. I remember you now! I knew we'd chatted....

You teach German, IIRC...

I'm not really a beach bum....once in a while I like to walk on our sidewalk (The Strand) which fronts the beach; there are fab homes along there....

Your vacation home sounds wonderful...I never get tired of looking at the water...now and then you'll see the dolphins playing or even surfing out there....

Congrats on your soon-to-be escape from the 700 Club!


:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

25. Here's a pic of our beach

Lots of sand, dunes, sea oats and surf, but quite secluded; no pavement except for the roads which go to the houses which are at least 200 feet from the dunes. We have some dolphins, but mostly the pelicans and seagulls provide the entertainment. I rather enjoy watching wild birds. We even have sea turtle colonies; and the most dangerous thing is the crabs which can make a moonlight walk on the sand dodgy. Oh yeah, I forgot about the alligators in the ponds and lakes throughout the area. Usually, they just sun themselves and leave the people alone.



Yes, German is correct. The trips to Germany and surrounding areas is my summer job, however these trips only last about two weeks so I have about ten weeks at the beach to relax.

[chknltl]

27. I lived in Germany off and on for about a decade...

.... I was an Army brat. Last time I was there it was my turn to be in the army. We had a program where soldiers were given tdy (temporary duty) by being placed individually with a german family for 2 weeks. I got to stay on a farm in a small village. I spoke a little german back then, this helped. What a beautiful and enlightened country Germany is. Such a rich history and those churches and castles.... now I want some schnitzel.

[Left_Winger]

33. My time in Germany came as a student...

right after the fall of communism when I attended a university in the former East Germany. I never had the opportunity to reside with a German family as one of the forms of compensation provided to me was my own apartment (more like a large hotel room). I was, however, adopted by a family in Dessau and spent much time in that area of Germany.

I am a vet as well. I served in the Marines and went on NATO maneuvers in 1976 and 1978 in northern Germany and Norway (among others... it seemed as if I had joined the Navy with all the sea time I accumulated). My only other time overseas with the military was with the FMF Pacific, 7th Fleet (Okinawa, Philippines, Thailand, Indian Ocean, etc).

[texanwitch]

19. Yes you will, I didn't think so either but I am getting close.

:hi:

[khashka]

24. It's easier than you think...

I'm coming up on four thousand and can't imagine what I had to say that would take up that many posts...

You'll get there....

Khash.

[tjwmason]

31. If you had restricted youself to clean posts

You'd be on about 300 by now. :P


Plus :loveya: obviously.

[khashka]

35. And wouldn't that be a shame...

Besides, I can't post clean when you are around... you inspire my dirtiness :)

Khash.

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. Become a moderator next time around...

You'll be amazed at how your post count rises...practically without trying. :hi:

[caty]

34. OOOOOH.......

you can do it. Keep up the good work.

[billyskank]

36. Shit, just hang around the Lounge

You'll have done it in about three months. :)

[billyskank]

37. ...

(or a week if you're progmom...)

[deadparrot]

38. The first thousand is the hardest.

I'm over 6000 now, but none of the other milestones seemed that hard to achieve. :shrug:

[Arugula Latte]

39. Suggestion: Start a free association thread and just keep replying

to the words.

You get dozens of posts that way, and they're all one word. Easy peasy.

Post something like: "Okay, it's time for a free association thread. I'll start: Schnitzel." Take it from there.

:hi:
